I wish there had been online dating back in the day.
We all must have done this at some point, whether it’s for Valentine’s Day or just because we’re so loved up we want to share our musical tastes with our new found lover.
Now there are a couple of ways you can go about this, you can choose the standard classic love songs which everyone knows or you can go for something more obscure. I went for the latter.
Here is my collection which I put on a C60 cassette tape – remember those?

Side 1
This Is Not a Love Song, Pil
Love Is the Answer, Utopia
Laser Love, After the Fire

Flaming Desire, Bill Nelson
Get Your Love, Roger Daltrey
Automatic Lover, Dee D Jackson
A Lover Spurned, Marc Almond

Side Two
Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order
I Believe Love’s A Prima Donna, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

Love Action (I Believe In), the Human League
I Need a Lover, John Cougar
Love Is Like Oxygen, the Sweet
Misplaced Love, Rupert Hine

Well I don’t think they were too impressed with my choice of songs to say the least and the relationship ended soon after.
Now you’ve seen my songs from many years ago, what are you favorite five love songs? I would be interested to hear what makes your heart skip a beat.
