Okay...in order to get this down to 12, I'm sticking to tracks that are specifically about LOVE. (This gets me off the hook from including amazing things like "Sometimes It Snows...," "Beautiful Strange," etc.

Nobody said they all had to be happy love songs, so here goes...

1. Adore
2. Crucial
3. Love...Thy Will Be Done
4. Eye Love U, But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore
5. Extraordinary
6. The Question Of U
7. The One
8. The Beautiful Ones
9. Damn U
10. Call My Name
11. Betcha By Golly, Wow!
12. Condition Of The Heart

If "Dark" doesn't make each and every one of those lists, then they're not definitive ballad comps.

Very tough. There are just so many great selections from which to choose. It's possible to compile a very strong set from the outtakes, alone. That's a testament to the man's lyrical and melodic acumen (current album notwithstanding). Anyway, here's my 2 cents:

Crucial
Electric Intercourse
Do Me, Baby
Adore
When 2 R in Love
How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?
Open Book
With You
Alexa de Paris (sometimes, words are just unnecessary)
Nothing Compares 2 U
Condition of the Heart
Insatiable

My next 2 would've been Dark and When 2 are in love. What would you replace from my list?
