Yeah I'm two days late...

I'd usually put together a list of critically-chosen songs to get the ball rolling but I legit can't find anything credible or particularly useful since "love song" is such a broad concept. Instead, I'll just list twenty below that are 'obvious' candidates (ie. dominated the charts for about 4 years) and therefore included.

Adele - Someone Like You
Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
Al Green - Let's Stay Together
The Bangles - Eternal Flame
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Bon Jovi - Always
Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Etta James - At Last
George Michael - Careless Whisper
Jennifer Rush - The Power of Love
Lionel Richie - Hello
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)
Nat King Cole - Unforgettable
Percy Sledge - When a Man Loves a Woman
The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
Spandau Ballet - True
Wet Wet Wet - Love is All Around
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are
Elton John - Your Song
The Beatles - Something
Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful
Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
The Ronettes - Be My Baby
Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams
U2 - With Or Without You
Lionel Richie - Three Times a Lady
Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind
Tony Bennett - The Way You Look Tonight
Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan - Especially For You

So, for the time being, we need to find about 100 more love songs... and with that in mind, members can put forward five immediately to the competition and PLEASE be serious... they have to be great love songs, so no My Neck My Back no 212 no Lovegame

Once we have enough, the games will begin
