Every Rose???? thats not a love song..thats a heartbreak song..that doesn't count

Thanks for that Becky, although my two fav love songs aint there, which are

Whitesnake - The Deeper the Love and of course
Bon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me.

But then again thats my personal choice.

I'll Be There For You? No, no, no. How can they pick that over Bed Of Roses and Always? Ah well, at least Don't Wanna Miss A Thing is a damn good song......

Keep On Rockin'

Thank you again Becky!

Hey becky...thanx 4 that,
I think that Bed of roses and always definitly deserved a mention.
But keep in mind that i'll be there for you, was a no.1 single!!!

No Bed of Roses?
No Always?

And other non Jovi traversties of justice:
No Amazing- Aerosmith?
No Lady in Red- Chris Deburgh?


And there are quite a few on there that are NOT love songs!

Examples:
Fallin'-Alicia Keys
Don't Speak- No Doubt
Thank you- Dido
Sweet child o' mine-Guns N Roses

They may be *about* love, but they are not love songs! There are waaaaaay too many anomalies on that list!
And too many break up songs!

and not even the best break up song!
WHERE IS NOVEMBER RAIN BY GNR?!?!?!

oops...I think i might get shot for mentioning the dreaded GNR on a Bon Jovi board...argh!

Sweet Child O mine definately no way.

If that's included, then any song that mentions love, with is 90% of songs, could be included.

if you've never heard it before..check out White Lion's All I Need...now that's a love song.

oh yeah, and also Warrant's "blind faith"

And i'm not sure if I deserve a woman so true
but i know...that you think I do

that line gives me goosebumps
