Love songs. They probably outweigh just about any other genre of song style (at least in modern times). Whether it be about the pain of a love that's not quite there or the joys of a new romance, they have shaped the way we think of music. Now I wouldn't go as far as to say compiling a definitive mixtape of the best love songs of all time is impossible...but let's just say it would probably take months to make it really good. Since I'm compiling this the day after Valentine's day, I won't humor myself in making this definitive, I will just leave it as a good set of songs to celebrate your feelings towards your beau, bell, wife, husband, girl you're currently crushing on, the hot janitor, etc...also as a good mix to copy from when you forgot to make a mix for your boyfriend/girlfriend.
