- I use Kayak. They have basically everyone except Southwest and maybe some ultra LCC carriers. -- nm - ty97 Dec 31, 08:28
- kayak -- nm - decline Dec 31, 08:27
- Costco? When I've done both together, I've gone through Expedia, but I think most of the big name ones (Kayak, Expedia, Hotwire) all do both. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 31, 08:23
- orbitz.com, hotels.com, kayak.com -- nm - Capstern Dec 31, 08:22 2

- *phew* -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:21
- I thought all pre-existing exclusions were no longer permitted. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:12 3
  - It had to do with the fact that I was with Anthem, and then for one year not. They were claiming I had no insurance and came back to them. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:16 2
    - It used to. I just thought that changed (I think it has). Maybe that becomes effective in 2014. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:23
    - (and to be clear, we switched to cheaper insurance for 2013, not dropped all) -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:17

- Isn't there one called New Years Eve? :) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 31, 08:12 1
  - As DH points out, *best* -- nm - Roger More Dec 31, 08:13
- Sunset Boulevard. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:11
- Entrapment! - Will Hunting Dec 31, 08:11
- Certainly not "New Year's Eve". -- nm - Don Homer Dec 31, 08:10

- Is this overall power ballads of the 80s? I'll go I Remember You or Love Song (Tesla). - Inigo Dec 31, 08:08 32
  - Love Song by Tesla was a great song. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:31
  - wait wait wait ... what about Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" ? 1986 - it owned the radio ... -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 08:13 14
    - The Live version pretty much changed music for 10 years. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:18 7
      - That and the live version of "Signs". -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:31 6
        
        awful song, awful cover. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:41 5
        
        Awful poster to who I am replying -- nm - David Dec 31, 08:53
        
        after about 2 weeks I wanted to rip my ears out but the effect of that song on music for about 10 years is undeniable. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:48
        
        I do not go that far as I am a huge Tesla fan (Mechanical Resonance is one of my top 25 CDs). It was a fine song for them to do bit should never... - Spawn Dec 31, 08:45 2
        
        oh I like the band. but that song was *everywhere* every time I tuned on MTV they were playing that pos. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:46 1
        
        See my message. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:49
    - Not a ballad. But I'll Be There for You qualifies and is pretty solid. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:15
    - It is a love song that Bon Jovi wrote to themselves. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:14 4
      - oh - sorry - I didn't realize there was a specific category - thought it was just "songs" :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 08:17 3
        
        We are talking "ballads" even though we are including power ballads. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:38
        
        get with it Jenbro. sheesh. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:34 1
        
        heyyyyy - JenBro Dec 31, 08:54
  - Also, Bringin' on the Heartbreak is Def Leppard's best ballad. It's not even close. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:12 1
    - It was a goof warm-up to greatness. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:34
  - How can your outer message be so awesome, but your IM be so awesomely stupid!!! -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:12 1
    - The song just hardly registers with me. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:20
  - I'm going with Guns n' Roses Sweet Child O' Mine. After that I'm probably picking one of Heart's ballads. Alone or These Dreams. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:11 8
    - *Air drums to "Alone"...* -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:29
    - Hearts self titled album is one of my favs -- nm - eag Dec 31, 08:18
    - I'll go with a different GnR song and say "Patience". -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 08:17
    - oh that can't be a ballad! -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:11 4
      - it's borderline. It's not really a ballad. it was a pop song. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:41
      - I think it is. It's just not acoustic. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:15
      - Really? I think it absolutely is. But if you exclude it I'll go with Heart. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:13 1
        
        I could be persuaded. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:15
  - see, I don't think Hysteria is really a ballad. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:09 2
    - It is one of those rare ballads that is *not* about heart break. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:13 1
      - hmmmmm. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:15
- Every Rose is the best ballad - eag Dec 31, 08:07 1
  - Top 3 or 4, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:35
- Speaking as the biggest Crue fan on ST, I disagree. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:02 9
  - Dont Go Away isn't even a ballad! I may have to check your Crue credentials. now if you were talking "Without You" - Remlik Dec 31, 08:04 8
    - it's just not their wheelhouse. - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:05 3
      - *ding* I was at a Theater of Pain show before the song hit and they played it. Was interesting to see it win over the crowd. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:44
      - yeah. and Loosi is correct below. Leppard (w/Steve Clark) just wrote poppier and better songs -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:40
      - overally I like Leppard ballads better. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:06
    - No, Without You is horrible. And like I said, DGAM is as close as he can get to sounding right on a ballad. HSH is great, but not because of Vince. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:05 3
      - Nona? *ugh* I can agree with you on HSH a bit. I still think it's his best 'soft' vocal. I mean, he sucks as a singer... - Remlik Dec 31, 08:15 2
        
        Nona was more of a joke. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:19 1
        
        I think they do. Though I wouldn't rule out shows in Vegas and festivals. But a tour...I think they're done. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:21
- and Love Bites is a better ballad than Hysteria. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:52 12
  - *makes the drinky drinky motion* - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:04 6
    - Agreed. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:06 5
      - yes. I can say I had an infatuation with Love Bites. it just didn't hold up as a valuable song over time - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:11 4
        
        I got the CD when Women came out and immediately picked the three ballads as favs. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:33 3
        
        In all honesty, it is easier to pick your *least* favorite from that one, as there is too much quality. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:36 2
        
        you know I think Gods of War holds gets a 'most underated' song...when US started Gulf War 1... - Remlik Dec 31, 08:47 1
        
        I love it, just saying every other song on the CD got played more often than it. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:51
  - good to see you follow Rule #1. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:02
  - There's the crazy we know and love. -- nm - ty97 Dec 31, 07:54 3
    - Just because you picked If I Could Turn Back Time. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:55 2
      - well, since there's a definite Def Lepp theme going on, what about "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad?" -- nm - i'm not the New Year's Baby yet ! Dec 31, 07:57 1
        
        I put Tonight and Two Steps Behind ahead of it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:41

- The fakers piss me off so much. -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 07:18

Mel Profit - you are very correct about Mindcrime. But if David can't even get the tracks on ine album in order, he'll never accept this. -- nm - Jim Dec 31, 07:03 4
- what are the three songs? -- nm - pippy bells Dec 31, 07:31 1
  - Off the top of my head... - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:17
- crap. I meant to call Mel, say "Mindcrime" and hang up on him this year. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 07:30 1
  - You know how NCM "does stuff"? - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:08
Happy New Year, Japan! -- nm - Bacon Dec 31, 07:01

        I loved my winter there. The air is clean so I breathed better at 4500 feet then I did in Maryland at sea level. - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:41
