My choice:
Everything Louder
Original Sin
Testify
Blind As A Bat
Prize Fight Lover (!!!)
There are more I'd like to pick but I'll restrict the list to the Bat II to HCTB period and one song per album for now. |
I consider Blind As A Bat to be a ballad, and I think BAAB, MOS, DYELS, and LBIL are worthy ballads of a Bat album
