many great ones have been mentioned above, I would add This Place Is Empty. I wouldn't call it killer, but I like it a lot.

Not only can he write good ballads but sing them so beautifully with heart and soul.
I would love to hear Keith sing lead vocals for Wild horses on next tour.

I thought the title of this thread was an oxymoron.

I find it strange it strange that people here classify Laugh I Nearly Died as a ballad
Would you call Out Of Control a ballad as well, if you just removed the chorus ?

It's a ballad, more like a 'power ballad'. Out Of Control is not a ballad by any means.

Yes that's a suitable word. If one think of a ballad as "a pallid song that basically has no shape or punch", then Laugh I Nearly Died would fit that category. But that would surely be a very incorrect definition of "ballad"

Your rulings from on high that Laugh is not a ballad are a waste of space
unless you take the time to explain your reasoning.
Ballad is a musical term that has been around since at least the fifteenth
century and has meant many different things over the years. Its going to be
real interesting to hear how you can categorize Laugh as NOT being "a slow
sentimental song about love or love lost." Good luck.

For a starter, Laugh I Nearly Died is NOT sentimental but cynical

That the "latter day Stones" starts... hmmm 23 years ago... that speaks volumes of the issue we have here...
Hmm... I think the best stuff in that category - as over-all, too - is Keith's contribution. Jagger has done some good - sometimes even great - ballad singing live, but I think the studio songs are rather mediocre sounding. I used to like "Almost Hear You Sigh" very much, but it is way too 'sugarish' to my taste these days.
