Okay, so I'm trying to put together a list of rock love songs. So far I got Aerosmith - Cryin', Crazy, Don't Wanna Miss a Thing

Guns n' Roses - Don't Cry, Sweet Child O' Mine

I want something along those lines. As much as you can give me. Thanks!

Dude, you have no idea.

AC/DC - Girl's Got Rhythm, If You Want Blood, Whole Lotta Rosie
Aerosmith - The Grind, Eyesight to the Blind
Billy Idol - Don't You (Forget About Me)
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love, Spoonful
CCR - Susie Q
Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman, Hard Lovin' Woman
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and other assorted love songs
Foo Fighters - Half their catalogue. Everlong, February Stars, Doll, Breakout, See You, Walking After You, etc
Green Day - She, She's a Rebel
Guns N' Roses - What you mentioned, plus One In A Million and (arguably) November Rain
Iggy Pop - Candy
Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song (I think, anyway - honestly I'm not 100% sure what this song is about)
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Foxey Lady
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter, Wild Horses

This is the list I created in about five minutes off the top of my head, using only well known artists and traditional style love songs (ie no Hard to Handle, no Alison, no Every Breath You Take). Some of them are a bit questionable depending on how you choose to interpret the lyrics, but they're all about love in some form.

Love is one of the most widely covered topics in music in general. Love songs and songs about heart break are all over the place.

Perhaps I should narrow it down a little. When I said I wanted more songs like the Aerosmith and Guns n' Roses I meant the pace too. I want them kinda slow, but not too slow. Basically good rock love songs to have sex to.

But you got some good stuff on that list Martian. List more if you can.

What, like ballads? Oh, I got ballads, my man. Also, as I said, that list is almost entirely love songs (ie, the lyrics describe being in love or related topics). If you're not too picky about what the song actually says, that gives us a few more options.

I guess I should've picked up on that, since you listed Cryin', which is more about heartbreak and moving on. Anyway, let's see what I got...

The White Stripes - I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart
The Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century, Bobcaygeon
The Smiths - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday
The Raconteurs - Together
The Fray - How To Save A Life
The Black Crowes - Thorn In My Pride, She Talks To Angels
Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently (I don't think I'd be brave enough to put that on during sex, but it could be good for a laugh)
Stone Sour and/or Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Santana featuring Everlast - Put Your Lights On
Queen - No One But You
Prince (or whatever the hell he's calling himself these days) - Purple Rain
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter, Black, possibly Better Man
Our Lady Peace - Clumsy
Meat Loaf - Two Out of Three Aint Bad, Heaven Can Wait
Led Zeppelin - All My Love, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Jonny Lang - Breakin' Me
John Mayer - Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, Come Back to Bed, possibly 83
Hootie and the Blowfish - Let Her Cry
Hoobastank - To Be With You
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris, Name
Filter - Take A Picture
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Counting Crows - Round Here, Raining in Baltimore, Anna Begins
Blue Oyster Cult - In Thee
Barenaked Ladies - When I Fall, What A Good Boy, Lovers in a Dangerous Time, Have You Seen My Love
And the quintessential love ballad, Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn

These aren't all love songs in the strictest sense, and some of them may be a little more upbeat than you're looking for. Some of them are harder or softer, more or less edgy. I think they all have the kind of atmosphere you're looking for, though. Regardless, if you can't something that appeals to you in one of these two lists, I don't think it's to be had.

Some good stuff there, Martian. The best one you listed thus far was The Grind. I've played it at least 6 times by now. Got anything else in that style? Electric guitar is good.

The Grind could be considered either electric blues or blues rock, depending on how you look at it (and, incidentally, is one of my favourite Aerosmith songs). Aerosmith did a few tracks in the same style (pretty much all of Honkin' on Bobo, plus a few tracks from different albums), and you'd probably also like Never Loved a Girl, Back Back Train and Eyesight to the Blind. The Allman Brothers Band worked in that style a fair bit; Whipping Post, Things You Used to Do and It's Not My Cross to Bear are a few of theirs that are stylistically similar. Greg Allman also had that same emotionally charged delivery that Steven Tyler does so well. The Black Crowes also do blues rock; tracks of theirs to check out would be Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, Could I've Been So Blind and maybe By Your Side (it's in a major key and more up-tempo, but still has the dirty guitar/emotionally charged vocal combination). Pearl Jam also does a fair bit of stuff that could be considered blues rock and if you don't know it I strongly recommend Black. It starts off slower than the Grind but builds up. Jonny Lang is another great example, with songs like The Levee or Lie to Me. And from there you can start getting into John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, etc.

So to sum up:

Aerosmith - Never Loved a Girl, Eyesight to the Blind, Back Back Train
The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post, Things You Used to Do, It's Not My Cross to Bear
The Black Crowes - Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, Could I've Been So Blind, By Your Side
Pearl Jam - Black
Jonny Lang - The Levee, Lie to Me

Yeah, this is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. I know for a fact that my girlfriend wouldn't like Black and deem it too slow. Aerosmith seems to have the most in terms of what I need for The Mood.

EDIT: I've found another Aerosmith song that suits perfectly. Called Amazing.

EDIT 2: Found some more really good stuff:

Mr. Big - To Be With You

Steelheart - Angel Eyes (i'll never let you go)

Tesla - Love Song

Val Halen - Love Walks In, When Its Love, Cant Stop Lovin' You

Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment

Lenny Kravitz - It Aint Over Til Its Over

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

Bon Jovi - In These Arms

Scorpions - Still Loving You

Scorpions - Winds of Change

Eagles - Love Will Keep Us Alive

Eagles - Take it Easy

I don't have anything to add to the list, but iirc, Wonderful Tonight wasn't really a song of compliments.. it was more of a "yes you look fine hurry up and get ready" type of comment to his wife.

Martian

The first verse can be interpreted that way, but the rest of it is pretty standard cheesy love song fair.

Somebody on another forum provided the following list and it's pretty much perfect. Exactly the type of songs I was looking for:

Bon Jovi - Always

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

Scorpions - Winds Of Change

David Gray - Sail Away With Me

REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

Guns N Roses - November Rain

Live - Dolphin's Cry

Seal - Kiss From A Rose

I've never heard Kiss From a Rose, Dolphin's Cry, Always and Sail Away With Me, but they ended up being great.

percy

Here's a few;

Black and Blue - Van Halen

I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi

Every Rose Has A Thorn - Poison

Lay It On The Line - Triumph

Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zep

Not requested, but what about some ripping instrumentals;

Cause We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beff

Little Boy Blues - Rick Emmett

Prelude - Jimmy Page

Always with you, Always with Me - Joe Satriani

Martian

See, this is the problem with making lists like this; there's no accounting for taste. I do not understand how Pearl Jam is too slow but Seal is good.

Not knocking it, man. Don't get me wrong. Just trying to highlight some of the difficulties inherent in being the music guy (which I think is a role I assume much more in person than on here anyway).

No, I understand. Taste plays a huge role in this so I was just hoping people would give me some lists and then I'd choose the stuff I like from them and I have found a lot of songs I've never heard before. Got enough music for two CDs now.
