Lurking around in the Music section, I see that no one has started a thread about love songs. So I figured I give it a try! Now personally I prefer R&B (grew up on the stuff) but lets not limit this to R&B. A love song/slow jam can be a rock ballad, country/folk, classical, jazz, techno (yes, techno. You'd be surprised). Lets try to keep it clean. No stories about what happened in the bedroom :)
 
My personal favs...
 
Marvin Gaye - I Want You (album with the Good Times cover)
Jodeci - Great New Jack Swing early 90's material
Isley Brothers  - I sure that some of us was conceived while they were playing in the background
Luther Vandross -  Great r&b crooner taken away too soon.
 
ETC...Too many to mention here!
 
Rock
 
Led Zeppelin - Surprisingly good selection. The Rain Song is excellent.
Foreinger - I Wanna Know Want Love Is
Extreme -  More than Words
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
 
Once again...a list that can go on forever!
 
What's some of your favorite slow jam/love songs? Let's here it!
