I am freaking out...me and a friend went to an antique shop today, and I found a stack of LP records....and sat there and went through them all and you'd have thought I was looking at my own collection of records, they were all ones I loved , but didn't have....I got each record for $2 each.
Besides getting Stevie Nicks, Blondie, The Bee Gees, and Exile...
I got 3 albums from K-Tel records...they did all those albums that were a mix of everything.
I got 1 called "Together"
and here's the songs on it:
Reunited-Peached & Herb I Just Fall in Love Again- Ann Murray Three Times a Lady-The Commodores We're All Alone-Rita Coolidge Always and Forever-Heatwave Sharing the Night together-Dr. Hook ( I LOVE IT!!!) Don't Cry Out Loud- Melissa Manchester
Love is the Answer-England Dan & John Ford Coley(I had forgot this one, and I love it!!!) Lady-Little River Band You're a part of Me-Gene Cotton & Kim Carnes What You won't do for Love-Bobby Caldwell I just wanna stop-Gino Vannelli Just Remember I love you-Firefall Change of Heart- Eric Carmen How Much I Feel-Ambrosia (Another one I freaked over-love it!)
Doesn't anyone else miss love songs?? When is the last time anyone heard a great love song that was new playing on the radio.
The 70's were swarming in them.
I got another album called "Music Magic"
It has:
(Love Is) Thicker than Water-Andy Gibb Baby Come Back-Player (This is one of my all time favorites ever!!) Don't it make my Brown eyes blue-Crystal Gayle You Can't turn me off(In the middle of turning me on) High Inergy Native New Yorker-Odyssey Ffun-Con Funk Shun Brick House-The Commodores Don't Let me be Misunderstood-Santa Esmeralda Dance, Dance, Dance- Chic
Emotion-Samantha Sang- I love it!!!!! I Feel Love-Donna Summer Gettin ready for love-Diana Ross She Did it-Eric Carmen Long, Long way from Home-Foreigner Cocomotion-El Coco Theme from Close Encounters-Meco The Way I feel tonight-The Bay City Rollers Peg-Steely Dan
Then I got "Starflight" -aren't those the coolest names for record albums...???
But, it had Pop Musik by M on it...and I don't own that record!! And I just talked about it on here!! It has Stumblin In, and Makin It, and Boogie Womderland....those are such awesome songs.
I am on such a total music rush right now, it is so cool!! I was so excited to come home and play them, and not one was scratched!!

i agree with you most songs today dont have the great love song feel of the 70s or the 80s for that matter i know i wasn't born in the 70s but i do love bunch of the music from that time Posts: 1270 | From: GA the peachie state :) | Registered: Jan 2004 | Site Updates: 0

what difference does it make if the song is from the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s since more than half of all marriages end in divorce anyways or most romances never make it to the altar. There needs to be more songs about misery and breakups Posts: 4742 | From: Cell Block 6 | Registered: Aug 2004 | Site Updates: 0

See that thing you spend 99% of your time in front of? Its called a computer.
See that thing in which you express your views to people arount the world? Its called the internet.
Try going to www.google.com and searching names of artists that actually exist outside of the 80's and outside of the United States and maybe you can try enlightening yourself...
Or then again, just complain about the lack of decent stuff around today and claim that Google doesn't work in your house on Friday's or something...

Some of the best love songs of recent times were by Savage Garden, particularly "Truly Madly Deeply" and "I knew I loved you" -
I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason only this sense of completion and in your eyes I see the missing pieces I'm searching for I think I found my way home I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe
One of the biggest hits of last year was "Maybe Tonight" by Kate deArauge -
And maybe tonight Maybe I’ll fall Maybe he’ll crash through my walls Maybe at last love will come back and take me deep into its arms Maybe the heart, that comes apart, finally mends Maybe tonight I’ll finally fall in love again
I don't believe the love song will ever die, it just takes different forms, as all music does.

That's funny Jabeen, because Truly Madly Deeply is probably my least favorite of all the Savage Garden songs.
I don't know the Seal song you mentioned... not "Kissed by a rose" of course I know that one. My favorite Seal songs though are from earlier on - "Crazy" and "Future Love Paradise"

Jabeen- do you know the songs "Angel Face" and "Lonely Nights" by the Captain and Tenille??
I love the Captain and Tenille.
Jabeen, I am not sure if you were around some months ago when I went to see Poco, Pure Prairie League and Firefall in concert...but Poco sings the song- Crazy Love, that song is so great, if you have never heard it, I totally recommend looking it up too.

You know what? I've often said the same thing myself. It may not be the most "guy like" thing, but I've always loved all kinds of love songs. Everything from hair metal power ballads, to ultra "sappy" ballads.
The '70s and '80s had tons of good ones.
Even the '90s had more of those types of songs than we do now (I think the bad music was easier to ignore in the '90s 'cause there was still some good stuff co-existing with it).
The last really big pop love song I know of were probably Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" and Enrique Iglacious' (sp?) "Hero", both around 2000/2001.

The only "Love" songs I have liked that are recent songs, are mostly country songs...
I liked the song "Burn" by Jo Dee Messina, and I liked "Just to Hear you say that you love me" by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, but those are kind of older now too.
I have been hearing some great music on the 70's music channel every night, and I wanted to jump up and write them down, so I can ask on here about them.
The other day I was driving home from having had lunch with my mom, and the song the Edmund Fitzgerald was playing on the radio, it was so weird...cause I have a friend who really likes Gordon Lightfoot, so I was saying that to my mom, I went in and checked my email and she had just wrote to me, and she said that Gordon Lightfoot was going to be at a place we go for concerts...on July 28th this year, and did I want to go with her. I thought that was too freaky. But, of couse I said yes. I love the song "Sundown" and "If You could read my Mind"
I also always liked Jim Croce.

True, I hadn't thought of country, but I think love songs in that genre will always exist. I'm not much of a country guy in general, but I like a few of the crossover pop ballads in the '90s and early '00s (i.e. Restless Heart's "Tell Me What You Dream", or Shania Twain's "You're Still the One").
Hey, I wonder sometimes, if stuff like sappy ballads have disappeared from pop culture because of the reluctance to go back to anything more innocent than what's been around since '97ish in the media.
In other words, even though we're less trendy than before (I can wear clothes from 1999 and nobody cares. Whereas in 1986, 1979 clothes were totally outdated! LOL), we also got as shocking/controversial in the media as possible a few years back (i.e. Eminem, South Park).
So, on one hand, people have stopped trying to push the envelope further (well, how could you anyway?), yet it also means because we're so used to it, nothing from before than could be really seen as "cool" again, if that makes sense.
Didn't mean to delve too far offtopic, but that's a possible reason, IMO.

I know this post is a few years old, but music is even worse now! I don't even listen to Pop radio anymore, mostly the "Oldies" stations, which now includes songs from the 80's! Yikes, that makes me feel old!
I can't even think of any new love songs. Everything now is all about material things. I do agree that country music has gotten better over the last few years...they have a lot of great love songs.
You gotta give it to Lionel Richie, he's the master of the love song. Even though he's been divorced a bunch of times...odd how that happens! lol
Richard Marx writes some great love songs to.
There were some great songs in the first half of the 00's, though. I don't know what happened during the second half, but music in general went downhill.

No more love songs?? Were you asleep during the mid 90's to early 2000's when the whole "Boy Band" and "Latin explosion" happened. There was almost nothing else BUT sappy love songs playing on the radio then.
And even now there's quite alot of it out there. And I know there's still soft rock and contemporary radio stations out there that play this stuff cuz I've heard them. Not really my brand of music though so I don't listen to em much..but I know they are there.

I dont like 'love songs' like Celine Dion and Mariah Carey stuff. Its funny, all the girla I knew as a teen who LIKED that kind of music were the wallflowers with no boyfriends! Maybe its wishful thinking on their part,
But that 70s stuff is great! They just dont write em like that anymore. Stuff like Firefall and Chicago and Player and Leo Sayer. You should visit the TIME LIFE music website and just type in 70s. They have great compilations!
Just yesterday I was downloading music for a party my daughters having next week and not tryin to sound like a prudy old lady but lyrics today are just FILTHY. Did they find a cure for AIDs and someone forgot to tell me? Every song is about picking up a skeezer in a club and throwing dollar bills at them, drinking PETRONE and having alls orts of nasty sex. Some of these lyrics would make MOTLEY CRUE blush!
