>What I consider the best rock and roll love songs:
>
>KISS - Beth
>Aerosmith - I don't Wanna Miss a Thing
>Rolling Stones - As Tears Go By (I'd add Angie)
>Foreigner - I want to Know What Love Is (I like Urgent - terrific sax solo)
>Bob Seger - We've Got Tonight (how about Night Moves)
>Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
>Scorpions - Still Loving You
>Scorpions - Send Me An Angel
>Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You
>
>Not to be confused with ballads in general (I'd have to add Dire Straights) or oldies love songs (that list is too long to post :o)

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes: might be a cliche (used in the movie Say Anything) but still the finest love song I've ever heard in a minor or diminished key

Coldplay - The Scientist (another good minor/diminished key song)

Def Leppard - Photograph
AC/DC - All Night Long
10cc (amazingly versatile band) - I'm Not in Love (synth-pop), Silly Love (rock & roll)

Wow... just noticed... I don't see any songs by any women on these lists...
