Christ, I don't know...

IBTFY, NSG, Always and ...Letting You Go all get my vote.

Prooooobably Always. I love the air of menace and desperation about it, and of course Jon's vocal performance is stellar. Plus the "Well there ai't no luck in this loaded dice...." part is one of my favourite parts of any songs ever. Takes my breath away every time I hear it, and to hear that bit live would be magical

Closely followed by Livin' In Sin, I'll Be There For You, Bed Of Roses and This Ain't A Love Song. Honorable mentions go to Silent Night, Never Say Goodbye, Make A Memory, and Thank You For Loving Me

I also adore Letting You Go, but I don't consider it to be a ballad in the same vein as the aforementioned

In no particular order:
Miss 4th of July
Save the World (cheesy, I know, but I still love it)
Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore
Always
Bed of Roses
I also like Save The World, very good song.

Always. Closely followed by I'll Be There For You. And My Guitar Lies Bleeding (that's classed as a ballad, yeah??), and...oh man, it's too hard. But yeah...Always has always been reallly special to me.

By the way, I think Make A Memory is brilliant - one of their best songs in a while, IMO. Would be pretty high on my list. But it's so hard to actually make a list.

I forgot about the boxset, there's some decent ballads on there too. I think Maybe Someday is really touching, and The One That Got Away is good too

Yess! I really like Maybe Someday too. And some others off the boxset. It's hard to pick, lol.

Probably have to be Always. The vocals on that are unbelievable. I like It's Hard (Letting You Go) as well however, pure class.
