Non Syrupy Love Songs I have to play at a wedding in September, & I'm worried that my band doesn't do enough love songs.
The girl getting married is in her late 20's, she requested Going to California by Zeppelin, so we're learning that. We're a rock band, so I don't think we'll be doing Endless Love, more like Moondance What are your favorite love songs? My Legacy

If I were in a ROCK group, I had to play some Love Themed tunes, here are a few i'd pick.
These are not necessarily tunes I like, but ones I know would get the job done. For non-syrupy, ascerbic, irony-laden love songs, you can't beat The Dan... Your Gold Teeth Got a feeling I've been here before Watching as you cross the killing floor You know you'll have to pay it all You'll pay today or pay tomorrow You fasten up your beaded gown Then you try to tie me down Do you work it out one by one Or played in combination You throw out your gold teeth Do you see how they roll Pearl Of The Quarter I walked alone down the miracle mile I met my baby by the shine of the martyr She stole my heart with her Cajun smile Singing voulez vous Rose Darling Rose darling come to me Snake Mary's gone to bed All our steaming sounds of love Cannot disturb her in her night Or raise her sleeping head All I ask of you Is make my wildest dreams come true No one sees and no one knows Green Earrings Green earrings I remember The rings of rare design I remember The look in your eyes I don't mind Time Out Of Mind (hopefully nobody will know what this song is really about  )
Son you better be ready for love On this glory day This is your chance to believe What I've got to say Some more traditional random picks. Uptempo... Can't Get Enough, Honey Child - Bad Company It's Only Love - Bryan Adams I Saw Her Standing There - The Beatles Let's Spend The Night Together - Rolling Stones She's A Beauty - The Tubes Downtempo... Waiting for a Girl Like You - Foreigner Baby, I Love Your Way - Peter Frampton This Is It - Kenny Loggins Is This Love - Whitesnake You Belong To Me - The Doobie Brothers Drive - The Cars More Than This, To Turn You On - Roxy Music Love Is The Answer - Todd Rundgren tA  Tribal Disorder

Whitesnake TA? I'm speechless!
I like Drive, More than This, Never Tear Us Apart (we've tried that one once), Every Little Thing She Does..., Wonderful Tonight I'd love to do some Steely Dan, I'm not sure if the others can handle the changes, but it's worth a try. We're rock, but we can handle r&b, too, as long as it's not Whitney or Jeffrey Osborne. My Legacy

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I know, I know 
I definitely don't like every song we do, but as long as someone does... I just though of: I Believe in You--Dylan, though it's a love song to Jesus, I think. U2's gotta have something My Legacy

1. Into The Mystic by Van Morrison. Blues/Rock category, IMO
2. I Want You by Third Eye Blind 3. Forever In My Life by Prince (you can make this a rock song. I saw a heavy metal band perform Prince's Sign O The Times and was blown away). 4. Simple Man by Lynard Skynard | |

I love the "Never Tear Us Apart" suggestion.

I'd also name-check I Saw The Light, It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference and Hello it's me as songs that get their point across without being wimpy about it. | |
