When a person thinks of ballads, they probably think of Barry Manilow or Peter Cetera.
But there is one artist who’s done only a few ballads over the years and his were great sounding.
Alice Cooper.
Yes, seriously. For those of you who’ve never heard one of his ballads, click on these YouTube links:

A few years ago, I played “I never Cry” for some of the younger guys at work. They had no idea it was Alice Cooper. They thought he sounded great.
Actually, I think “Only Women Bleed” is his best.
I concur. I have both of those songs on my iPod..... Besides Poison :)

Yes old Alice Cooper is awesome, too.
I saw Alice on HDNet Concerts recently. It was a great set. I wish I had half his energy.
wow wow wow. Just listened to this, and it has the sound of a classic. Never knew he did anything like this.Just beautiful, beautiful melody line, beautiful hook, beautiful changes. this would have been a good song for the amazing James Durbin to do, if he weren’t already eliminated from American Idol.
