Today's 9:30 Coffee Break theme was sent to us by Kevin in St. Paul. Kevin wrote, "I just heard Mary Lucia play a song that featured the word ballad in the title and thought that songs that have the word "Ballad" in it would be a good Coffee Break topic."

We couldn't agree more, Kevin. Suggest songs that are "Ballads for...." or the "Ballad of..." If it has "ballad" in the title it will probably work. Give us your suggestions and we'll play a few for the 9:30 Coffee Break.

The Beatles - "Ballad of John and Yoko"

XTC - "Ballad of Peter Pumpkin Head"

Big Star - "Ballad of El Goodo"
