Today being Valentine's day, I thought I'd ask: What is the worst, most sappy love song?
You can love them or hate them. They might even make you throw up in your mouth a little. But what would valentine's be without them?
Here are some of my top:
Open arms - journey
Always be my Baby - Mariah Carey
In Your Eyes - Peter Gaberiel
I will Always love you - Whitney Huston
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
Love Stinks, by The J-Geils Band
Paradise By the Dashboard Lights, by Meatloaf
Cruel to be Kind, by Letters to Cleo
Love Hurts, by Nazareth
I Shoulda Banged Her Best Friend When I had the Chance When She Was Out of Town, by Sewer Harpy
s.h.
I have a special affection for '70s AOR radio ballads (some might call it yacht rock), like:
Into the Night - Benny Mardones
You Are the Woman - Firefall
Rosanna - Toto
Sarah Smile - Hall and Oates
Baby Come Back - Player
Biggest Part of Me - Ambrosia
I love the randomness this topic will pull out of people.

DmAc..how about "Let Me Get Up in That"? Great song.
DmAc..how about "Let Me Get Up in That"? Great song.
How could I ever forget that! I guess I wasn't thinking of songs that we made up in a drunken haze. What a great love song it is though!
Okay, DmAc, if you're gonna make a Zack Attack reference...how could you not choose the schmaltzy "Friends Forever"?
This I promise you - N Sync
I'll Never Break Your Heart - Backstreet Boys
I Do - 98 Degrees
Um.. I am sure I can think of some more

YEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSS! I love it! I couldn't think of their original hit, so I had to throw the cover out their! Nice work
My anti-romantic fave: Too Close, by Next
step back you're dancing kinda close/ I feel a little poke coming through/ On you
baby when were grinding/ I get so excited/ Ooh, how I like it/ I try but I cant fight it
Oh, youre dancing real close/ Cuz its real, real slow/ You're making it hard for me
Such romantic lyrics.
Really, though, "So in Love" by UNV is ultra-romantic.
I love how the girls swoon over songs about infidelity:
"Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker, and "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder
I could include Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me," but the bad effects of cheating was the point of the song, not something that makes it more romantic.
If you want it nasty, look up Adam Sandler's song "At a Medium Pace." Horrible. In a good way.
I can't believe I forgot the infamous "F* Her Gently" by Tenacious D!!
My anti-romantic fave: Too Close, by Next step back you're dancing kinda close/ I feel ...
Yeah that'll get her in the mood... :) Anything by Babyface, Keith Sweat or Brian McKnight... They're all some "ol suckas fa love"
You have to go with "I wanna know what love is" by foreigner.
Oh we want romantic okay how about "All day long I dream about S**" by JC Chasez.

My Avatar of Edwin McCain hopes that you really like his sappy love song "I Could Not Ask For More" and don't forget "I'll Be"(The number one wedding song as voted by Dr. Phil viewers)...actually I like all the sappy love songs already mentioned...at least the ones I've heard of...don't leave out Dan Fogelberg(RIP) and "Longer" or at the end of a romance "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt...oh now I need a tissue...
