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?

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)

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

Ballad isn't the best way to describe these songs, but decent list anyway.
Witch Hunt, Losing It, then Different Strings.

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? |

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'm sorry. I didn't notice my typo - i agree, these AREN'T ballads. I thought you were commenting on the songs on the list, my bad.

I read it. I understood it. You said a ballad was a slow song. I disagree
