I really want to find more rock songs that are long and meaningful. Rock ballads, if you will. Along the lines of Meat Loaf, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack" album of 1974 has some often overlooked but incredible songs.

Sormtroopers in Stilletos surprised me with how well it (at least for me) mixed with the recently released bit of concept art with its musical imagery of feudalism, longing, and stark loneliness.


In the Lap of the Gods is a bit bombastic, but still amazing.

Flick of the Wrist simply rawks.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

When you say "meaningful", what exactly do you mean? Do you mean music that is subjective? For example, this song. To me it's about someone facing a personal struggle that they can never defeat,and it's constantly in their head. To me, it's meaningful. However, it's also definitely not a ballad. Is this what you're looking for? If not, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
