    You aren't into the Brandon Flowers indie sound, I get that, I can respect that.
    Just think Ronnie Vanucci Jr. in a top 5 drummer in the game right now, Dave Kuenig is Brian May good.
    Some agree with me on Kuenig, others don't see it.

    For me, the classic metal is still the best metal.
    Led Zep covered like 7 genres, but when the played any head banging stuff, it was as good as it got.

    I love AC/DC, many say, and I can see it too, they are overrated, musically, they are little better than average.
    But, when Thunderstruck comes on, volume goes to 10, and fist pumping until the last note.

    In case you are trying to think of a rock ballad that's just on the tip of your tongue, you can look at this list of 150 rock ballads:
