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.

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.

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

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

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!

From the list I pick "Stay". 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I like King Crimson's Heartbeat a lot. Nothing wrong with a love song that is straighter than what many seem to expect from prog.
Anyway, And You And I from the list. (Not because of the lyrics but because of the music.)

I like that song, too Smile. I didn't know it was something shameful to enjoy it. Confused

It's lyrics are not so in your face and corny, but it seems to describe some marriage or some other ritual for two people to live together. But in good Jon Anderson fashion, you have to put some effort and imagination to grasp some meaning. However, I find it deeper than your common love song.

It's the song that I heard on the radio that led me to get Beat. While I still like the song, it is "Neurotica" and "Sartori in Tangier" that are the highlight tracks for me.

Nights in White Satin, although I prefer nights in white cotton sheets to be honest. Smile
