Yngwie Malmsteen |
Dreaming (Tell Me) |
|
Voted as the greatest guitarist in the 80's, Yngwie Malmsteen produced the high quality album, Odyssey in 1988. His ballad "Dreaming (Tell Me)" represents one of the timeless and mellowness ballad of all time. |

|
Save Our Love |
|
Malmsteen released his fifth album, Eclipse, in 1990. Although he didn't make any new sounds, the album received better air-play than the previous one. "Save Our Love" was the slow-rhythm metal ballad of this album. |
|
|
|
Faultline |
|
"Faultline" was another ballad from Eclipse album. The song sounded more like normal metal ballad than Malmsteen's famous neo-classical metal style, with less melodic and rougher music. |
|
|
|
I'm My Own Enemy |
|
At the rising of alternative rock, Malmsteen tried to capture publicity by turning to his early work sounds. The result was 1992 album, Fire and Ice. There were many good songs here including the excellent power ballad "I'm My Own Enemy". |
|
|
|
Forever One |
|
In his seventh album, The Seventh Sign, Malmsteen recorded songs that sounded more of blue-rock than his neo-classical metal style. Nevertheless, the album was surprisingly well produced. "Forever One" was one of the power ballad in this album. |
|
|
|
Brothers |
|
"Brothers" was probably the most Malmsteen record in the Seventh Sign album. This instrumental metal ballad was among his best work during the 1990s. |
|
|
|
Prisoner of Your Love |
|
Another least neo-classical inspired record from the 1994's album, The Seventh Sign, "Prisoner of Your Love" was a saccharine ballad that did not gain much respect from Malmsteen's fans. |
|
|
|
I'd Die Without You |
|
In 1995, Malmsteen released an album mixed with hard rocks, ballads, and his trademark neo-classical guitar sounds. Magnum Opus contained man good Malmsteen records, including the melodic ballad "I'd Die Without You". |
