Our Top Ten Love Songs
Get your special someone’s heart pumping on Valentine’s Day with a delicious box of chocolates and a stellar playlist of epic love songs - our Top Ten picks are below along with links to the song:
1. I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
The Secret is Out: we're secret Whitney fans (well, at least one of us is) so it just seemed fitting to start with this epic ballad of love.
This song by the legendary British rock band fused gloom and love into one massive hit that lit up the charts in the early 90s.
3. Love is All - Tallest Man On Earth
Echoing the sound of Bob Dylan, Sweden's Kristian Matsson's gravelly-voiced, dark lyrics will leave you tapping your toes and humming along.
4. Whatta Man - Salt-N-Pepa
This classic song by the first all-female American hip hop crew combines beats, a dash of pop, and mad props to a special fellow.
5. I Melt With You - Modern English
While this song strayed far from the British band's punk rock origins, it captivated listeners in the early 80s with it's dreamy lyrics.
6. Part Time Lover - Stevie Wonder
This scandalous love song about a secret affair is a risky addition to our list, but the line 'we are undercover passion on the run' keeps looping in our heads like a good 80s pop song should.
7. Easy Love - MSTRKRFT
This phenomenal Canadian electronic music duo masterfully mixed beats and straightforward lyrics to create a single that will work its way into your heart.
8. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
The heavy guitar-driven sound of Led Zeppelin established this infamous band as early instigators of heavy metal, and this lusty song has earned it's place as one of the greatest rock hits of all time.
9. Hysteric - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
This art punk band known for pushing the edges of indie and experimental rock crafted a beautiful ode to love that is light and airy.
10. Crazy in Love - Beyonce
As Charles Barkley once said, 'Beyonce is spectacular'. No list about Love Songs could really be complete without her and this world-dominating single, featuring her hubby, hip hop legend Jay-Z. Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no.
Happy Listening!
