Well, whether a ballad is a slow song or it's a song that tells a story, The Ballad of Dorothy Parker fits perfectly into both categories.

This has not been Pince's best side since 1984 ... the ballads ...

I love "Do Me, Baby" ... but Prince really needs to thank Bootsy Collins for inspiration!

well thanks for all the bricks on the head ;0) but as I said (or as the dictionary says)

bal·lad

A narrative poem, often of folk origin and intended to be sung, consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain.
The music for such a poem.

That is the ENGLISH dictionary definition of course, but you lot seem to have other ideas

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan and have been since 1979 and love the slow songs too, but but but... some of the songs you mentioned are in no way ballads.

anyway favourite SLOW song is prob Do Me Baby, closely followed by God & Adore.

a Ballard (sic),BALLAD is NOT a slow song, it is a song that tells a story, and I don't think Prince has written a ballad in the true sense of the word yet.

I could make fun of it, but that song does have some kind of effect on me. It makes me want to sway back and forth like a retarded kid. Quite rousing.

My favourite Ballard is JG Ballard, author of "Crash".
