No it isn't. |
Opinions suck don't they :(((( |
Unless it isn't an opinion. |
Properly speaking, a ballad is a narrative set to music.
But we have a thing for making words useless by using them improperly.
My head literally explodes when I see people misusing words.

I know, I love it! Was it Pye Dubois from Max Webster that played Piano on that track, or was it someone else? Anybody know?

Madrigal is one of Rush's best songs. Ever.

Here Again is a bluesy number so would not be a ballad in any case. Most of these songs aren't(but i'd have to check the lyrics)

This is exactly the case what I wrote about. Middle tempo. That's not the typical ballad in this sense of word (or, if you want, according my criteria).

I don't want to write directly "ballads", because this term is somewhat disputable, i.e. some Rush so-called "ballads" is played rather in a middle tempo after all, with acoustic guitar and gentle vocals. But I've tried to find their real slow tracks. That's interesting there are far and few between them. Isn't it a shame?
