I'm trying to put together a romantic CD so if anyone has any good romantic songs doesn't matter if there old or new any suggestions would be appriciated.

Astro1996

Oleta Adams - Get Here

Dr. Loon

Romantic Songs eh? How about fúckin in the bushes by Oasis? Or another good band is Anal Cúnt. Or Slayer.

On a serious note though, George Michael's album Older is full of very chill out kind of romantic songs. Alot of Prince's stuff is quite romantic as well. Then again alot of it's pure filth too, but there ain't nothin wrong with that, say it brotha!

Cat Stevens
Elvis
Sinatra
Dean Martin all have good romantic songs.

Most of those tunes would have me vomiting. Not very romantic at all. Although you have a few good uns I suppose. China In Your Hand though. Ha ha.

UB40 - I cant help falling in love with you (also Elvis version)

Anyone who likes this version, should get their head checked out. It's sacrilege At least you mentioned Elvis's version though.

Yet Another great list, Billy!

irlirishkev

for a stray from the mainstream, chuck in a couple of random Elvis songs..

'Thrill of your love' from 1960
'Please don't stop loving me' from 1965
'Do you know who I am' from 1969
'True love travels on a gravel road' from 1969

Even die hard Elvis fans would be impressed at hearing those..

Apart from Elvis -

God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
Vision of you - Belinda Carlisle
Afterglow of your love - The Small Faces

Just a few off the top of my head there..

Kevin.

Each to their own. You're music really does make me feel sick though.

Even die hard Elvis fans would be impressed at hearing those..

If you're a die hard Elvis fan, why would you be impressed at hearing songs that you would have heard already?! Those songs never did an awful lot for me though. There's better Elvis stuff out there.

You're absoloutely correct. My point was, if a mate of mine stuck on a 'love songs' compilation cd, and any of those songs came on, I'd be pretty impressed they'd discovered them. Also, I didn't want to list off all the good Elvis love songs, I wouldn't know where to stop

Kev.

Dr. Loon

I just thought of a few Elvis tunes worth getting while I was having a smoke.

"Suppose"
"It's Midnight"
"Separate Ways"
"I'll remember you"
"What now my love" - Live version is unbelievable.
"Just Pretend" - again, amazing live version.
"It's Midnight"

... but as irlirishkev says we'd be here for a few hours if we were to list them all.

irlirishkev

Suppose - Never really thought much of it.. although I seem to be in the minority.
Kudos on 'Just Pretend', and yes, the live version is just mind blowing.
'I'll remember you', is one of my favourite Elvis songs.. I'm surprised I forgot it. I like the studio version more so than the shorter live version.

'Indescribably Blue' - Is a powerful 'from the heart' type ballad I'd overlooked also.. Beautifully sung. That would make a nice addition..

Okay, there's loads of them!!!

Alicia Keys - Fallin ???????? Are you mad !!!!
Alicia Keys is an anagram for "Who on earth would be stupid enough to buy my S**t"

RamboKid

Hows About:

U2 - All I Want Is You

or

Lonestar - Amazed

kaiphas

How about Shane & Sineads - "Haunted by the Ghost" and then later in the CD "Rainy Night In Soho".
2 of the best Love SOngs ever written for my money.

BonmahonHammers

Bon Jovi - Always
Nada Surf - If You Leave
Dashboard Confessions - Vindicated
All American Rejects - Swing Swing

Sallybags

i think Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground by The White Stripes is pretty heartwarming
