I know...I was expecting "Purple Rain". Also, "I Feel for You" is on the list, and I believe one of his others as well. I can't remember now which one. I think "Nothing Compares 2 U"...but not sure. Not bad for 3 songs to be on the list, but 2 of them I wouldn't have chose. He has sooo many better ones...Adore, The Beautiful Ones, etc...etc. If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand... | |

They could have came up with a better love song than "I Would Die For You." They should've chose "The Beautiful Ones." If they chose "Nothing Compare 2 U", which is also a good love song, they might choose the Sinead O'Connor version. Good Love Songs: 1. Beautiful Ones 2. Purple Rain 3. I Wish You Heaven 4. Adore 5. Diamonds and Pearls There are so many love songs. Who votes for these love songs on VH1 anyway? They've came up with so many of these top 100 shows now that their opinions doesn't mean nothing. | |

I would have chosen Diamonds and Pearls myself I don't consider I Would Die 4 U a love song. | |

I agree. I don't consider "I Feel for You" a love song either. Maybe it's just me, but I think love songs should be slow tempo!!! If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand... | |

His picture is even on the home page at VH1 (along with a few others). Prince, Elvis, Celine Dion and Lionel Ritchie.

Wasn't this done before with "I Would Die for You?"
I would put "Adore" on top of the list. | |

I think "I would die 4 U" is a great love song (though Top 100 is a stretch). Just because the tempo is up doesn't mean that it does not portray love as well as a slow song. In my opinion, it is the fact that the song is rather up tempo that makes it a great love song. It captures the feel without having to rely on the traditional technique of heavy bass, slow rhythm, and tortured "oh baby's."
The lyrics "You're just a sinner I am told/ I'll be your fire when you're cold/ I'll make you happy when you're sad/ I'll make you good when you are bad" capture love in a way few songs do. Now I would have to agree with some of the others on the site that there are plenty of Prince songs that deserve to be on this list, including "Adore," "D&P," and "She loves me for me," which would never make any VH1 list but is in my opinion Prince's finest love song. | |

The point is not that it's too fast to be a love song, the point is that the fucking song is about Jesus Christ, not some random romantic relationship! Get a clue. Listen to the words again. | |

I agree I would die for you is not his greatest love song..
How about Greatest Romance ever sold...Insatiable...Adore One Kiss at a Time...Saviour...Do Me Baby Those are just a few of his GREATEST LOVE SONGS The best would be Forever In My Life!!! Come on VH1, you need to really start listening to the MAN, he's got romance and love locked up in all his albums...Open your ears and really listen to the words!!! You'd be amazed at all the Love songs he has written and sang!!! Finally, how about "Dreamin' About U" Love songs should make you feel sexy, romantic, loved, wanted, needed and desired!!! Listen to the songs I've just stated and you'll know what a real love song is!!! "They whisper secrets only they 2 can hear" | |
