Best Slow Rock Songs

The Top Ten
1 Soldier of Fortune - Deep Purple
2 Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

The end of the song is quite heavy but intro and the middle part is pretty much slow.

3 Rainbow Eyes - Rainbow

This song is just out of this world.

4 Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits

Pretty much same as soldier of fortune.

5 The Bard's Song (In the Forest) - Blind Guardian

Can't get enough of this song.

6 Ghost of Freedom - Iced Earth

With awesome vocals from the greatest cop in the world (Matt Barlow).

7 Dust in the Wind - Kansas

Great song, underrated too. It and desperado are the best slow rock songs.

This is actually a folk song.

8 In My Time of Need - Opeth

Amazing song. Velvety smooth clean vocals from a death metal growler. Hands down.

9 Wind of Change - Scorpions
10 A Past and Future Secret - Blind Guardian

This song is mesmerizing.

The Contenders
11 Billie Jean - Chris Cornell

Sometimes I think this is the best cover song ever made. Chris Cornell turned a pop song into a slow rock song. Mindblowing vocals and everything. Hands down. Moreover, this cover song doesn't have a studio version, only many live versions (including what you hear from the song sample below). Chris Cornell deserves more attention.

12 When a Blind Man Cries - Deep Purple

I also liked Metallica cover.

The drum beats are bit faster but the whole song is pretty much slow especially the vocals

13 More Than Words - Extreme
14 Dreaming (Tell Me) - Yngwie Malmsteen

This is probably the most exquisite song on this list - Yngwie neo-classical touch works perfectly. Also amazing vocals from Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple).

15 November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Listened to this song throughout most of my childhood, and it's just one of those songs that I can just listen to in any mood.

16 Tangerine - Led Zeppelin

Not very slow but not even fast.

17 Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison

This song is not that slow but the some parts of the song is slow.

18 Hurt - Johnny Cash

That's a slow one

19 Fiddler on the Green - Demons & Wizards
20 Fade to Black - Metallica
21 My Immortal - Evanescence

The most beautiful song here! Has helped me a lot!

22 Fortuneteller - Deep Purple
23 I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance
24 Sinner - Theocracy

I put this song lower on my remix only because towards the end it gets faster and heavier. But the first 4 minutes of the song are slow, beautiful and truly epic.

25 Down Where I Am - Demons & Wizards
