It’s my understanding he wrote for other people. He wrote a couple power ballads for kiss
OT: Ethereal Songs or Performance of Songs

Didn't know that. I did see Bolton live at Star Lake as the opening act for someone else. Kenny G maybe?
Here’s a song he co wrote with another great frontman, Paul Stanley. You can certainly hear his influence.
This sounds more like Bolton than I want to know what love is.
Good call. I’d say Nick Drake kind of defines the category of “ethereal” music. Any of his songs would fit.
Yeah I think Comfortably Numb was the first song that came to my mind when I saw the thread topic.

As ethereal as it gets right here-apologies if someone already posted it:
That's my favorite VU song. And it is something I am seriously looking to explore as this Self Quarantine continues.
I’d recommend just staying with the song.
That’s a good call, @thebadby2 and @DT_PITT. But I’ll match your VE ethereal quotient and raise it with this one. This is the new winner of the discussion.
I nominated Into Dust as one of my first suggestions. Talk about a beautiful song. And Hope Sandeval is gorgeous.
Oh man, I can’t disagree. Into Dust might actually fit the theme of the thread by a nose over Halah. But damn hard to argue either.
btw, it’s probably because we’ve discussed it too much and it’s become cliched here, but Joy Division’s Atmosphere and New Order’s Elegia should be included. I need to build an ethereal playlist. Lol.
It doesn’t fit the theme but I just stumbled on a song I haven’t thought of in 20 years. Remember this one? Jesus and Mary Chain (with Hope Sandoval) on the Letterman Show. JAMC was an underrated band btw. They had some good stuff.
Inspiral Carpets...a band I didn't expect to be referenced here or anywhere for that matter. One of the best of the Madchester bands for sure.
There are a number of REM songs one could list here but this would probably be on my list with Mike Mills on guitar.

It was actually Kurt Cobain's guitar that Mikey Mills played live when they did this song during the Monster Tour.
