Wild Love from this list. Though I would consider it and Ladies of the Road more like lust songs than love songs. And Fountain of Salmacis is more of a story song. Though I suppose the moral is a warning of the dangers of too much loving of the self.
In any case, fun selection!

I think Peter Hammill has more than his fair share of love songs for a prog artist.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Too many goodies in this department. But Cliche by Fish is quite impressive.

I always thought Nights in White Satin was a ballad, not a love song. Guess I should have paid more attention to the lyrics. And I didn't know And You and I was a love song either. That and Heart of the Sunrise (is Heart of the Sunrise a love song too?) are my two favourite Yes songs.

And You And I is for me the greatest love song ever. Though this poll is missing Lady Fantasy. And I think The Fountain of Salmacis is a weird choice for a love song... though strictly speaking, I guess it's not incorrect. Some sort of horror love story.

Jethro Tull - Reasons for Waiting. Beautiful song. And an actual love song...unlike several of the tunes in the poll.

"Ladies of the road" is a love song?
 Anyway, I'll be a bit predictable and vote for "nights in white satin." Another good one (although admittedly a bit of a guilty pleasure) is "love will find a way." Also, I'm pretty sure "And You And I" is not a love song. I think it's about different nations fighting with each other or something. I don't remember exactly but I remember it being about politics somehow.

I forgot to mention the Beatles. A lot of love songs in their early days, and many on their latest albums as well.

Peter Hammill A way out
Here are the last words of this beautiful song " Out of sight, out of mind, leave it out, Leave it behind out of reach Of all family, all friends Out, out, going for the bale-out, No parachute above you. Out, out, you'll not feel the fall-out ...I wish I'd said "I love you" |
