| “Bloggers, DJs, and critics helped us assemble this comprehensive list of great love songs. We excluded breakup songs and come-back-to-me songs and please-sleep-with-me songs. These are love songs — songs you could play to your current squeeze immediately after saying, "This song explains my feelings for you, which may be nuanced but are ultimately positive," and not expect to sleep on the couch. We limited it to one song per principal songwriter. Lastly, this list goes back to 1960, which we feel represents the dawn of pop music as we know it.” |
