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

10. Call My Name
11. Betcha By Golly, Wow!
12. Condition Of The Heart

8. Gotta Broken Heart Again
9. When We're Dancing Close and Slow
10. Sometimes It Snows In April
11. When 2 R in Love
12. Anna Stesia (ballad?)

If not,

12. Scandalous

My list would be:

1. International lover
2. Do me baby
3. The beautiful ones
4. Electric intercourse
5. Adore
6. When 2 R in Love
7. Joy in repetition
8. And God created woman
9. Pink Cashmere
10. I hate U
11, Shy
12. The Love we make

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

IF I WAS URE GIRLDFRIEND

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
