Nice mention of Scorpions.

Also, a nod for mentioning Stairway To heaven.

But....Secrets of Steel? As a ballad?

My favorite Manowar song, ever.
I don't know if I'd call it a ballad though.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a ballad technically speaking, but The Cowboy Song.

Well, not sure if it's a ballad, but it's great

And Cowboy song... my fav Thin lizzy's song (with boys are back).

Ballads speaking, Still in love with you, Thin Lizzy.
