Yes, I looked through some of the debate over the definition of "ballad" in other forums. So I'm aware that its not technically completely clear.  Just keeping it simple as I defined it above.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Hard for me to vote against Renaissance but "Spirit of the Water" by Camel is wonderful, showing how well they understood their strengths and played to them.

Just home-produced a mock radio program for Ballads (using the popular definition: slower, pop-oriented songs) made by Prog Rock Bands--this is the list of tracks. Curious which are the faves of PA members.

BTW, I have a lot of themed radio programs, some that aired live, and others home-made. I don't have a podcast or anything (yet) but have this and the others publicly available in my Onedrive folder.  This hyperlink should take you direct to the Mp3 file:


My own choice is Rush, followed closely by Opeth.
