I’m putting this here because it’s music related but it’s also a poll so perhapse MPSIMS is better suited for it. I want to make a Mix-CD of love songs for my girlfriend. The tracks are going to be legally downloaded so thats not an issue. I have a few tracks in mind but not the order and if any “essential” songs are missing. These are the ones I came up with an a possible order O Town- All Or Nothing Forigner- I want to know what love is All-For-One- I Swear Because Of You- Kelly Clarkson Forigner Waiting for a girl like you Chris Deburg The Lady In Red Stevie Nicks Leather & Lace Louis Armstrong-Dream A Little Dream Of Me Air Supply- Even the nights are better The Eagles Best Of My Love All-For-One I Can Love You Like That Green Day Wake Me Up When September Comes ---
