Last week we asked our readers to vote for their favorite ballad or slow jam of all time. Votes were all over the place – from tracks by Pearl Jam to Elvis Presley to Lionel Richie. In the end it was very close, and there was a tie so we had to expand our standard top 10 to a top 12. If this survey has reinforced anything, it's that our readers really, really love Led Zeppelin.

Yes, I read concert reviews from Seattle and Los Angeles. That is how I came across this list, one review was on Rolling Stone’s site. Benjamin Orr was in a band with Jeff Carlisi (.38 Special) and Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent)before he, Orr, passed away.
Great songs.
Some of my favorites:
The Doobie Brothers -
Minute By Minute
It Keeps You Running
Taking It To The Streets
Chicago
Just You ‘N’ Me
Excellent! song.
I still think “The Stranger” is the height of his output.
And some from one of my other all-time favorite bands, the Alan Parsons Project:
Time (Flowing Like a River)
Silence and I
The Eagle Will Rise Again
Old and Wise
Closer to Heaven
Don’t Let it Show
Limelight (with the great Gary Brooker on vocals)
Thanks much...nice video
Definitely. That was his masterpiece, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Vienna, Just the Way You Are (before it was overplayed to death)
I was going to say Mazzy Star too! That one, and The Sundays version of Wild Horses is even better than the Stones.
That song worked wonders my senior year.
The best one in recent years is Your Long Journey by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
Paint it Black by the Stones
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
All excellent. “Pyramid” and “Turn of a Friendly Card” were exceptional albums.
you beat me to it.
