Maybe more lyrical than Dylan, but far more talented than Dylan?

Hey, the songs you posted got me in the rock ballad mood! I've always liked "Nothing Else Matters." I'd never heard that orchestral version before.

I was wondering if I had missed them. Now I'm wondering if number 2 is the apropriate euphemism for Pet Shop Boys :tongue:

I heard that that song was very popular in strip clubs, so a lot more things than heads have moved to that song!

A classic, but I like "Wrathchild" the best--perhaps because I used to play bass!

In case you do pick them, here's a great cover of one of their songs by the guitarist Paul Gilbert.


In case you go with the Stones, here's a great cover of "Paint it Black" by Judas Priest's guitarist:
