Not sure how many are technically 'ballads'... I went with ELP as Greg Lake seemed to know a ballad when he saw one....

Literally impossible, I can only really eliminate one or two but they're all at least 10/10 songs Smile

Stop being that harsh on the definitions. 'Ballad' is kind of a general word here. Would u have felt easier, had I put as the word 'song' instead of 'ballad'? LOL

I would have preferred 'song'.  Ballad is a subset of songs.  Not all songs are ballads, but all ballads are songs.
 
it just seems like a good day to be pedantic, you know?

Sure I wouldn't  miss the opportunity of putting in the ballad poll a song with such a name, but it wouldnt stand a chance against hmm.. Starless. Rly, I shoulda put Epitaph instead of Starless for the contest to be fair

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, but most songs in the list belong to the best songs prog ever had.

Starless in one of my favourite pieces of music ever but as Lost has 0 vost I cant help voting for it because it's great too.
Would you catch the final words of mine?

My difficult choice was Pink Floyd or Camel.
I had to pick one, so it was Pink Floyd.
