Favorite or Great NW Ballads

[guyinsf]

Has this been covered before guys? I don't think NW is known for great ballads but when done right, they are great cuz they are less cheesy then mainstream or heavy metal ballads.

Not sure if these are ballads but they are slow tempo songs about love.

The cars - drive
blondie - in the flesh
paul young - everytime you go away
simple minds - don't you forget about me

[ResIpsa]

Split Enz - Hope I Never
Pretenders - I Go To Sleep

My Favorites on this topic:
Forever Young - Alphaville
Somebody - Depeche Mode
All I Want Is You - U2
Because You're So Sweet - Erasure
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
I Scare Myself - Thomas Dolby
