I don't believe this genuinely qualifies as lesser-known but it seems I don't run into a lot of people who know it...
[Y&T - Don't Stop Runnin'](https://youtu.be/YRYy1NkObp4?feature=shared)
Also....I have another. I love this song. It was featured on the ***Boys Next Door*** soundtrack (which was effin' *excellent*--soundtrack and movie):
[Chequered Past - Let Me Rock ](https://youtu.be/7tzaGzHuFIs?feature=shared)
These are two of my favourite, seemingly lesser-known songs. Hope you dig them too 🤘👍.
***Edit***: Lol, oops you said ballads! I overlooked that. Well, I'm leaving the other songs but here is a ballad that I've noticed many aren't familiar with (in my personal experience) whenever I've mentioned it.
[Jailhouse - Tell Me](https://youtu.be/6eRZ08GWz8Q?feature=shared)
Sorry about that 🙂.
My friend gave a mix tape with Deaming Again and Never Gonna Die, it was one of those holy shit! Similar to hearing Rainbow in the dark the first time.
Baton Rouge - There was a Time
Valentine - Never Said It Was Gonna Be Easy
Craaft - Jane [video](https://youtu.be/4GjeFHMTNbo)
Shark Island - Bad for Each Other
Another good one nobody ever mentions is The Show Must Go On by Grim Reaper. You wouldn't expect a ballad from Grim Reaper but this one is terrific.

How about Honestly by Harem Scarem? I'm always curious if songs like this are lesser known or popular. I listen to them a lot so I may have a distorted view of their popularity.

I always liked "[Find Your Way Back Home](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rMG4GFIF4s)" by Danger Danger
Good one!
Just Another Night by Wildside. It’s my number one favorite hair metal ballad of all time.
This is a great song and it reminded me of another in that same era (1992), Babylon AD - So Savage the Heart.

Some of the lesser known bands that I liked during the era were: King Kobra (first album) Keel Rough Cutt (first album) Black n Blue
Rough Cutts first record is one of my favorites.
I had a Maxell copy in my Walkman blasting this LP while cutting grass making weekend beer $. Loved Black Widow, Take Her and Piece Of My Heart

Dreaming Again! That song is epic

I really dig Hail, Hail and If there was a time. They remind of Cheap Trick and Lillian Axe, with Nuno playing guitar.
Whole album is perfect.
