Hmm...none of those do much for me.....I'll have to look at my Wilson cds to see what trips my trigger when it comes to 'ballads'.
Not sure what qualifies as a ballad,...... two of my favorites by him are Don't Hate Me and Lazarus from his PT work. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

The solo in Drive Home is like Aliens trying to communicate with us. Easy vote. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

Like them all. Normally, I would go with Drive Home - but, I feel Happy Returns perfectly concludes HCE. Going with Happy Returns... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Happy Returns. IMO Hand.Cannot. Erase is his best solo album. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

This. I love it so much. Also "She's Moved On" is a good call. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

To be honest, never thought of Steven Wilson as a master of ballads, but still... 'Drive Home' is great. 'Routine' is very good. Not sure if 'Veneno Para las Hadas' could be called a ballad, but I really like this song with its rainy sound.
Well, it's only speaking about his solo-career. If speaking about PT and the rest... that would be kinda more difficult to name only 3 ballads, I think |

My immediate thoughts when I read the poll question ; Lips Of Ashes........... ..........now I struggle......... I would say Drive Home in this poll, though there are many more quality ballads in his repertoire........... |
