1-Aerosmith- I don't wanna miss a thing 2- Meatlove- I would do anything for love 3- Wet Wet Wet- Love Is All Around 4- Sinead O'Connor- Nothing Compares 5- John Lennon- Imagine 6- Bryan Adams- Everything I Do 7- M Jackson- Earth Song 8- REM- Everybody Hurts 9- Percy Sledge- When A Man Loves A Woman 10- W Housten- I Will Always Love You 11- Police- Every Breath You Take 12- Stevie Wonder- I Just Called To Say I Love You 13- Beatles- Something 14- 3 Times A Lady 15- Starship- Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now 16- Bon Jovi- Always. 17- Leo Sayer- When I Need You 18- Righteous Brothers- Unchained Melody 19- Robbie- Angels I want to make it as good as I can and I know I will have missed out a few great ones that have just managed to escape me! So I was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions for me? Thanks!

I'd hardly call a fair few tracks on the current list power ballads, but that's not to say it ain't looking good
![]() I'd be tempted to add Shiver by Coldplay, Come Back Around by Feeder, and maybe Just Looking by Stereophonics. |

A couple more obscure ones that are well worth investigation -
The Tubes - Don't Wanna Wait Anymore (amazing song - why Pondlife or Blue haven't dug this one out for a shameless re-record is anyone's guess) Heart - Wait For An Answer (5 key changes in one song and utterly overblown pomp - marvellous stuff) Magnum - When The World Comes Down (cracking tune - makes you want to wave your hand theatrically just like Bob Catley) |

Whitesnake - 'Fool for your loving' & 'Is this love'
John Waite - Missing You Cutting Crew - I just died in your arms tonight Mr Mister - Broken Wings Toto - 'Hold the Line' & 'I Won't hold you back' Bon Jovi - 'Never say Goodbye' & 'I'd Die for you' Heart - 'These Dreams' & 'Alone' Richard Marx - Right here waiting Foreigner - Waiting for a girl like you Chicago - Hard to say I'm sorry Meatloaf - Two out of three aint bad Queen - 'Save Me', - 'Who wants to live forever' & 'Las palabras de Amor' Pat Benatar - Fire and Ice (What a voice!!!) Bob Seger - We've got tonight (The original - so-o-o-o much better than that Lulu & Ronan tripe) Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (The original - way better than The Corrs) Probs lots more later - when I've had a bit of a think. |

Hi Everyone!
Just to let you know I have completed the first CD, but as there have been so many great suggestions I am going to make a second one at the weekend! Maybe even a third. In case anyone's interested the first cd was as follows: 1- Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing 2- Meatloaf- I Would Do Anything For Love 3- Wet Wet Wet- Love Is All Around. 4- Sinead O'Connor- Nothing Compares. 5- J Lennon- Imagine. 6- Bryan Adams- Everything I Do 7- M Jackson- Earth Song 8- U2- The One. 9- Beatles- Something. 10- Bon Jovi- Always. 11- Heart- Alone 12- Whitesnake- Is This Love? 13- Starship- Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. 14- REM- Everybody Hurts 15- The Cars- Drive For anyone who has noticed that there where a lot more good songs on the original list that weren't included in the final copy, it's not because I have dropped them they will be featuring on one of the other cds!

Reminds me of my teenage years, and always being left alone at the side of the dance floor when the 'slow songs' came on. Still, happily married now to a woman that has always been fully aware of the fact that I can't dance - managed to fake it at our wedding, though. |

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters.
Metallica - Mama Said. Def Leppard - Love Bites. Breed77 - The River. SugarComa - Zero Star. Stone Sour - Bother. Seether - Fine Again. Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde. However, if you get yourself an iPod, you'll not need to worry about doing CDs, as you'll have everything with you anyway |

Duran Duran - Ordinary World. I heard this song for the first time a while ago (this version), I thought it was just a dance track by Aurora.
