  • Love Songs You Love

    Happy Valentine's Day! Our own jkpescador sent me the link to this list of The 100 Greatest Love Songs. Whitney Matheson at "Pop Candy" said it "appears to have been compiled by a 103-year-old man," and asked her readers for their own suggestions, netting dozens of more contemporary tracks. She even set up a Finetunes "V-Day List" online radio station to feature some of them.

    So... as thoughts turn to romance, love, and lust -- be it indulging in it, or pining for it (but not snarking at it, for this exercise) -- what are your top love songs? What would be on your mix CD for this VD?

        SO I guess love songs is not limited to slow ballads when Queen's "Crazy Thing Called Love" appears on the list.


        Personal faves I did not see on there that I like


        Whitney "Crack is WHACK" Houston & Jermaine Jackson "And If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful"
        Paula Abdul "Rush Rush"
        Sinead O'connor "Nothing Compares To You"

        Da Local Artists
        Danny Couch "Lady Youre My Rainbow"
        Kalapana "Juliette"
        The Krush (any ballad they put out)

          Re: Love Songs You Love

          I'm listening right now to Hil St. Soul's "For the Love of You" (and adding it to a music program) - it works very well for the mix, and I can see that it will soon become a favorite.

          Despite the fact that it annoys the hell out of many, I've always dug the late Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You." Forget Mariah - Minnie had the multi-octave voice of my dreams.

          If the Alpha Female and I ever decide to make it legal, Edwin McCain's "I Could Not Ask For More" has to be on the playlist.

            Hey, if you post track titles and artists, and if they're available, I'll create a Finetune playlist/station just for VD@HT. But I need a minimum of 45 tracks (I've got 10 based on what's been posted so far), no more than three per individual artist, and their catalog is limited. Can we do it?

              Oh No- the Commodores
              The first time I heard this song was in the movie The Last American Virgin. That last part of the movie when the girl goes back to the guy who knocked her up and Lionel's voice starts....No matter how nice you are you don't necessarily get the girl........."Oh No"
              Listen to KEITH AND THE GIRLsigpic

                  "Bésame Mucho" is the "our song" for my wife and I. My favorite love song is "Sweetleaf" by Black Sabbath.

                    We need some gut-ripping, soul-searing power ballads:

                    I Remember You by Skid Row

                      Let's try!

                      I have on my iPod...22 renditions of "Feel Like Making Love" and 16 renditions of "Love Dance"!

                      My favorites for FLML are
                      Bob James - instrumental...1st version I ever heard...my fave!
                      Roberta Flack - she put this song on the charts
                      Izit - jazzy, unique...love it
                      Bobby Lyle - the version to be listened to in bed!

                      For LD...
                      Quincy Jones & George Benson - sexy!
                      Colby & Caruso - sultry
                      Vanessa Williams! - beautiful

                        I Looove this song...

                        The first time ever I saw your face
                        I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                        And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
                        To the dark and empty skies [my love]

                        The first time ever I kissed your mouth
                        I felt the earth move in my hand
                        Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
                        That was there at my command
                        [My love... That was there at my command]

                        The first time ever I lay with you
                        And felt your heart beat over mine
                        And I thought our joy would fill the earth
                        And last till the end of time my love
                        And last to the end of time
                        Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!

                          Re: Love Songs You Love

                          Let's see. Off the top of my head...
                          • "At Last," Etta James
                          • "Crazy On You," Heart
                          • "Like Someone in Love," Bjork
                          • "Could I Have This Dance," Ann Murray
                          • "If I Had $1,000,000," Barenaked Ladies
                          • "Let's Stay Together," Al Green
                          • "Another First Kiss," They Might Be Giants
                          And several Hawaiian songs, E Ho'i I Ka Pili, E Ho'i Mai, E Maliu Mai, Ku'ulei Ku'uipo...

                          Only about half of these tracks are available at Finetune, so I still need about 20 more to launch a streaming station. Hope jkpescador chimes in soon with his picks -- he inspired me in the first place!

                            Here is my playlist from finetune.com:
                            http://www.finetune.com/playlist/1359060

                            I'm having fun. It's a work in progress.

                            It's the ultimate mix tape for your sweetie. Perhaps my playlist will change when I'm mad at her. Haha! Just kidding.

                              Wow. You've been busy! A good mix in there, too. Some classics, some rock, some... different.

                              Well, I've nicked about a dozen tracks from jkpescador's play list, just so the "VD@HT Playlist" can go live. But keep posting your picks and I'll add them to the mix, and you can have an internet radio station of sorts express HT's love for y'all.
