Crazy what some of you consider a ballad. Scorpions had a few: Wind of Change Holiday Still Loving You

Aw fudge.
I love "rock ballads" so much the first that popped into my mind was this

Ina Gadda Da Vida. Ding... Ding ...Ding we have a winner! I've even got an album that is virgin... the cellophane is intact. Stairway to Heaven is a contender but Iron Butterfly for the win. The drum solo rules.

This one even says ballad in the title of the song.
I guess it qualifies:
