"This I Love" is the most "beautiful" IMHO.

That said... it's neck and neck between "This I Love" and "Prostitute" for best ballad... and overall song on the album for me. Those two tracks are absolutely amazing and well worth the wait. I cringe when I think of all the close-minded ex-GN'R fans and rock fans out there who won't give this album a fair hear b/c of the line-up. Someday they'll hear these two tracks and be like... "What the fuck was I thinking!??!". no smoking

It doesn't seem to be a popular choice in this thread, but I have to say "Street of Dreams".  I just love the lyrics, the piano, just the flow of the entire song.  Every ballad on this album is awesome though.

This I Love is a beautiful song, with great emotion and addictive piano playing

My only issue , if I have one, is the opening lyrics - it just seems so "below" what should be accompanying this type of song..but I would'nt presume to completely understand them either, despite them appearing simple

I'm suprirsed so many people like This I Love... musically it's really nice, but goddamn the lyrics are cringe-worthy.

Prostitute gets my vote, by far.

I think the lyrics to This I Love are incredible yet simple.


Which is my problem with it, it's too simple... esp. given that Axl has been apparently working on it for years.

Like jarmo, I like different things about different songs for different reasons.   Its hard to pick, but right now if I was forced to choose, it would be This I Love.

What about Sorry? Isn't that a ballad?
I am not sure that TWAT or Catcher are ballads, at least in my book.

(n); Typically characterized by having a slow tempo, long voiced notes, electric and/or acoustic guitars, and deemphasized percussion and bass. Some sections of the song may include strong percussion and bass that are more typical of the hard rock and heavy metal genres for increased emotional effect, and often the electric guitar comes back in the song's climax.

 hihi

Catcher defined.

Its something different and will be a big surprise

I dont really consider Madagascar a ballad. I personally would only consider releasing SOD,TIL, and ITW out of the bunch

This I Love is the best ballad on the album. Cant wait to see the response when it hits radio.

If I were GNR I would release this over The Blues because its a very to the point type song. With CD and Better there is a lot going on. This I love strips everything down. Although I do like Street of Dreams I think This I Love will get more of a response plus its the riskier choice. SOD is too safe.

I think the remaining singles should be Scraped,If The World or Sorry, and This I Love...in whatever order.

To me, This I Love is the most impressive song GNR has ever done from a strictly instumental standpoint.  It's not my favorite GnR song ever, but musically there are no mainstream rock bands/singers aside from Freddie/Queen I could even imagine composing something like that

This i Love - ive been through a ton of bad relationships in my life, and most recently have been cheated on but deep down i still have feelings for her, this song speaks the most to me on the album, i relate alot to the song and it made me honestly cry when i first heard it.
