Some of My Favorite Love Songs

I did something that was almost impossible. I compiled a list of my favorite love songs. Think I'm exaggerating about how hard it was? I'm a music lover. I always have a song in my head. Sometimes it's one that's been around for a while--a couple months, several years, a few decades--and sometimes it's a new release I just can't get enough of. When you take that into account, I think you'll have to admit it's hard to come up with a list of favorites.

I compromised a bit. I started by listing 20 of my favorite rock love songs. The only way to do it was to think of songs guaranteed to have me cranking up the volume. I went back pretty far but did include some newer selections.

When I finished that list, I started working on another one: 20 more great love songs that weren't necessarily rock. Again, I went back pretty far, but I didn't duplicate any from the other list.

I suppose I'll have to do some updated lists at some point. After all, great new songs are showing up all the time.
