I'm glad Bill O'Rights brought up Frank. I'd be upset if this thread had gotten this many replies and nobody had thought to include any Sinatra. That said, a short list:
Aerosmith - Amazing
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
Crazy
Love In An Elevator (well, sort of)
Barenaked Ladies - Alternative Girlfriend
Be My Yoko Ono
Call and Answer
If I Had $1,000,000
Jane
What A Good Boy
most of their stuff has a cute/charming vibe...
Cheap Trick - I Want You to Want Me
Derek and the Dominos - Umm... well, their one and only album is called Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. So, Layla and other assorted love songs.
Elvis Costello - Alison
Shipbuilding
These are pretty songs as long as you don't listen to the lyrics too closely. They get a bit creepy when you do.
Foo Fighters - See You
February Stars
Walking After You
Everlong
Razor
Surprisingly, Grohl can write a good love song. Everlong is pretty rockin and See You is nice and boppy, but if you want sappy Walking After You is about as good as it gets.
Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
It Had to Be You
I've Got You Under My Skin
Send In the Clowns
The Very Thought of You
The Way You Look Tonight
These are all great and I don't think I repeated any of BoR's suggestions. Send In the Clowns is a bit melancholy, but the rest are all very sappy.
Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
Sweet Child O' Mine
November Rain
Hootie & the Blowfish - I Go Blind
Hold My Hand
Only Wanna Be With You
Yeah, I know I Go Blind is a cover. I prefer Hootie's version.
Jack Johnson - Banana Pancakes
Belle
Bubble Toes
Sexy Plexi
John Mayer - Back To You
Come Back to Bed
My Stupid Mouth
Your Body Is A Wonderland
Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
Yeah, it's a love song. Sort of. Kind of. Okay, I just wanted to put some Journey in and Open Arms is already in here. Love is an element in this song, good enough for me.
Led Zeppelin - All My Love
Marvin Gaye - Err... well, anything really.
The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
The staple of high school dances everywhere
And I think it would be a sin if I didn't mention The Sweetest Thing, by U2. Even people who don't like U2 like this song. It is the quintessential love song (and should be, considering how it came to be).
EDIT - Hagatha beat me to November Rain, but a quick glance over the thread leads me to believe that's the only repeat.
