I'm rebelling against the 80's right now, and just thought of an excellent rock ballad from the 90's:
"Uninvited" by Alanis Morisette
^What an exquisite "classical" rock masterpiece that was!!
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

I mean there’s a couple bands like that but they’ve all been around for a long time. I saw TOOL live a while ago and it was fukkin awesome.

I liked rap too (in the 90's)... Eminem, Nas, Smif N Wessun, LL Cool J, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifa, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige (she's R&B, I know), etc....So many talented ones!! But I get it- melodies from the 70's and 80's are irreplaceable, and so are voices/talent such as the late great Freddy Mercury! "Bohemian Rhapsody" was just genius! Have you ever tried singing that song from beginning to end?? ELITE vocal gymnastics needed there!

Re-posting from the 'Listening to' thread - recently went down the rabbit hole of the Japanese rock scene which is apparently owned by chicks. Best is Band Maid, all girl band who wear maid outfits and rock the **** out and aren't just a pop group with a great backup band like BabyMetal (no weeb). They sing in like 85% Japanese and some broken English so it takes getting used to, and some stuff skews too poppy, but damn they have a great sound, especially live.
Live instrumental is crazy:
And staying on topic here are a couple of their ballad types:

Bumping. What do you guys think of Kaleo?

Your life will never be a straight path.”
“To not only take risks, but to be open to life. To accept new views and to be open to new opinions. While it may be frightening, it will also be rewarding. Because the chances you take… the people you meet… the people you love…the faith that you have—that’s what’s going to define your life.”
“And when you fall throughout life, fall forward.”

"Fade to Black" by Metallica. One of my favorites growing up. And look how cheery I am now.

Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.
