Rock waltzes
I'm looking for various rock/pop/metal songs with waltz beats, for example, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Suggestions?

Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen is in 3/4 time (3/8?) and I personally think it's gorgeous.
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

-"Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" by the Beatles is 3/4 in the verses with a 4/4 chorus
-"Waltz #2", by Elliot Smith
-"Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers Band (although the intro is in this wierd 11/16 beat or something)

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, Hero by Chad Kroeger qualifies as a waltz.
EDIT: Also, since it's a parody of Piano Man, Ode to a Superhero by Weird Al.

どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Ooh, I forgot about Piano Man by Billy Joel. That's probably one of the best-known ones.
One of my personal favorites is Amazed by Poe. Hardly anyone's ever heard of Poe the recording artist, but I think she's brilliant, and Amazed puts a nice emphasis on the 3/4 time signature so it may be what you're looking for.
And although the music probably isn't quite rock (maybe folk-rock?), I have to mention Thea Gilmore's song, Land of the Free, because it's in a nice slow 3/4 and the lyrics are beautiful.
