Romantic "alternative" songs

I'm listening to a compilation made for the Canadian market called Retro Night Romance.
There was a compilation called Retro Night which was primarily 80s alternative music, so that's where the idea came out of, even though not everyone included here would ever be considered alternative (Paul Young). I'm sure some of that has to do with the songs available to license as well.

1 Sinead O'Connor / Nothing Compares 2 U
2 Howard Jones / No One Is To Blame
3 Spandau Ballet / True
4 Crowded House / Don't Dream It's Over
5 Alphaville / Forever Young
6 Nik Kershaw / Wouldn't It Be Good
7 INXS / Never Tear Us Apart
8 Frankie Goes To Hollywood / The Power Of Love
9 Cyndi Lauper / Time After Time
10 Paul Young / Everytime You Go Away
11 Bangles / Eternal Flame
12 Dream Academy / The Love Parade
13 Yaz / Only You
14 R.E.M. / Strange Currencies
15 Pretenders / I'll Stand By You
16 Art of Noise / Moments In Love

Some of the tracks are cheezy but overall actually romantic.

What would are your favorite romantic songs by alternative acts?

CinisterCee	I guess that would include "new wave" by definition.
