Since I grew up in the eighties, I have a fondness for some of the love songs of that era. Here are a few:
Crazy for You, by Madonna
We Belong, by Pat Benatar
Angel of the Morning, by Juice Newton
Oh, Sherrie, by Steve Perry
(I Would Walk) 500 miles, by the Proclaimers
2000 Miles, by Pretenders
As you can see, I’m not ashamed to admit that my taste may verge into cheeseland at times. What are some others?
(special thanks to featherlou for the idea for this thread)
Hmm. I know a lot of people who really like “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”, but hey, those are the people I hang around with, what does that say about me?
Anyhoo. My faves:
“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel
and
“Love Song” by The Cure
My personal favorite is “Murder by Numbers” by the Police.
Hey, AlbertRose, thanks for starting this thread. I’ve been meaning to do it for some time now (I even asked the same question about 80’s love songs in another current thread about 80’s music before I saw this thread - oops!)
How about:
Take My Breath Away by Berlin
Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper
I Touch Myself by (Dee-Light?) (Well, it’s more of a lovin’ song than a love song :))
That would be the DiVinyls!
I don’t want anybody else… when I think ABOUT you, I touch myself…
Hunting High and Low by a-ha.
Grumblegrumble everyone forgets they did anything besides “Take On Me” which isn’t even close to their best song grumblegrumble
Space-Age Love Song by Flock of Seagulls is my favorite.
Hold Me Now- the Thomspon Twins
Tainted Love- Soft Cell
Like a Virgin- Madonna
Sweet Child Of Mine- Guns N Roses
Rocket Queen- G N R (if you consider it a “love” song :p)
Jesse’s Girl- Rick Springfield
Not too into the 80s, or it would be longer…
It Might Be You, by Stephen Bishop (Tootsie soundtrack)
Heart of Mine, by Boz Scaggs
Hello, by Lionel Richie
and Electric Blue, by Icehouse.
I can think of tons more. 
No one mentioned Journey?
