Ultimate Love Song...

[Tom M]

How about Al Green's: Let's stay together I think this one might be up there with the best love songs. No? yes?

 

[DanG]

Anything by John Denver. That guy was a genius.

 

[legoman]

Tom Waits: "Johnsburg, Illinois"

Herbert Groenemeyer: "Ich hab dich lieb"

 

[zoboomofo]

Hey c'mon. I thought I told you guys, it's Let Me Put My Love Into You by AC/DC.

I don't know about love songs, but a very sexy and cheeky song would be Breakfast in Bed by Dusty Springfield.

Northern Sky is literally fantastic. The first time I heard it, it hooked me. It also helped that I was watching an amazing fireworks show at the same time.

how about that jonathan richman cd?

I actually ended up with the DVD-Audio release "home of the hits" which I think pre-dates the other comp you have. This was "love at first hear" for me. I've always read about him, but never owned any of his music. After this, I'm definitely a "fan" and have to explore further. he's just great.

From the modern side of RnB/Soul, Maxwell's first album Urban Hang Suite...somewhat of a concept album, which starts with the courting phase, goes through the lovemaking, on to the loneliness when she's gone, and ends with the reunion/proposal.

It's all about looooooooooove baby. Dig it.

Stand out songs include:

5 - Dancewitme
6 - Till the cops come knockin'
7 - Whenever wherever whatever

 

[wallijonn]

for deep sensuous love making, it'd have to be Gato Barbieri's "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)". 7502-13247-2

Babe I'm Going to Leave You

I'm not joking. The way Robert Plant sings that song, there is no question it's about love. I've felt the same way many times. It's the blues maaan.

 

[Jackangel]

Can hardly go wrong when you get the Led out...

how about Dazed and Confused?

"lots of people talking, but few of them know...soul of a woman was created below"

sounds like love to me.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Serious: "Power of Love" - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Kidding: "Da Da Da" - Trio

 

[LobsterSan]

Because I kind of like Bjork...

Good one MD.

Burning For You/ BOC
Don't You Want Me/ Jody Watley
Women/ Foreigner

"women living in fantasy,
bringing man to his knees"

They understood women in the '80s too.

Ok, and to the morons who listed Led Zeppelins songs, I think you missed the message. "Dazed and Confused", are you smoking something??

Anyway, for REAL love songs:

You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross

You and I - Stevie Wonder
I Believe (When I Fall In Love With You It Will Be Forever) - Stevie again

 

[millerdog]

"You and I" stevie...forgot about that one...LMAO on "Dazed an Confused." I would have chose "The Rain Song" or "Fool in the Rain." I really must get the Led Zep box set....

edit: Skylark-"wildflower"
the Isley's "for the love of you"
The Cure-"just like heaven"
ELP- "from the beginning"
