    Oooh, the Power Ballads! I think if I was going to take a Manilow tho, as much as I like "Mandy", that I'd go for "Weekend in New England".

    heck yeah!!!! best love song I've ever heard!!!

    http://www.gearchange.org/clips/Berlin - Take My Breath Away.mp3

    of course, perhaps that is because the first time I was ever exposed to sex (other than seeing my parents make it when i was like 3 or 4 and that was traumatizing) was Top Gun. Really, I suppose the only time until quite recently that I did not associate sex with guilt.

    ..and the correct answer is: Lenny Williams - Because I Love You, not one song has ever come close to the pain he felt in losing his love, you can damn near hear the man cry, although that does mean you have to deal with some form of whining :grin: but damn its good.

    It was kinda interesting hearing it on Overnight Celebrity - Twista, lol, but I am a Chicagoan so I let them (Kanye/Twista) slide.

    Thanks for listing your favourites, they helped. The following is what I recorded for the wife (in the exact order; I'd thought I'd arrange them in some kind of "new, then old, then new" order) :

    Everything I Do - Bryan Adams (that Kevin Costner "Robin Hood" song)
    Let It Be - Beatles
    Knocking On Heaven's Door - Eric Clapton (Yes, his reggae-ish version)
    Careless Whisper - George Michael
    When Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge
    When You Believe - Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston (that "Prince of Egypt" song)
    Blue Moon - Elvis Presley (I've never heard a sadder version of this song)
    Have I Told You Lately - Rod Stewart (had to include a Stewart song, wife thinks he's sexy)
    Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley
    Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton (original)
    Holding Back The Years - Simply Red
    Georgia - Ray Charles
    How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes
    Can You Feel The Love - Elton John ("Lion King")
    Hopelessly Devoted To You - Olivia Newton John ("Grease")
    Kissing A Fool - George Michael (original album version)
    It's Now or Never - Elvis Presley
    Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Ray Charles

    Most of the songs are ripped from my CD collection. I wanted to include Beatles "Imagine" and "Yesterday" but thought that having "Let It Be" as the sole Beatles representative just makes "Let It Be" stand out more for what it is i.e. probably the best song ever written and recorded.

    Tastes aside, at least half of that stuff can't be described as romantic. :???:
