#10 – Love Song – Elton John
We kick off our list with Elton John’s steamy live performance of Leslie Duncan’s "Love Song." Originally featured on Elton John’s album Tumbleweed Connection, it was the live version from his 1976 live album Here and There that truly captivated audiences.
#9 – Sandy – Bruce Springsteen
Next up is Bruce Springsteen’s cinematic masterpiece "Sandy." The song was originally released on his second album The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle. In the song, Springsteen paints a very cinematic scene of boardwalk life in New Jersey at night, hanging out on the boardwalk with his girlfriend, watching the lights of the amusement park rides and longing for a better life.
#8 – Absolute Beginners – David Bowie
There are many tender, sweet-sounding love songs in classic rock history. There are also some really brilliant deep tracks that convey the same message of unconditional and unshakable love in a more artistic fashion. That’s what is happening here on this classic David Bowie tune, "Absolute Beginners." Those chord changes that weave around the song’s melody are just brilliant.
#7 – “Thank You” – Led Zeppelin
In the number seven position on our list is the classic Led Zeppelin song "Thank You." With lyrics that begin with "If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you," you just can’t go wrong with this one.
#6 – “Feel Like Makin’ Love” – Bad Company
Not all romantic classic rock songs have to be sweet and gooey. Sometimes it’s right to just get to the point. That’s what Bad Company did with their classic hit single "Feel Like Making Love." The song was released on Bad Company’s sophomore album Straight Shooter.
#5 – So Into You – Atlanta Rhythm Section
Can you say it any better than this? I don’t think so. The Atlanta Rhythm Section, known as a Southern rock band, came up with a very cool, soulful tune that crossed many genres in 1977 called "So Into You."
#4 – I Go Crazy – Paul Davis
At the number four spot on our list is the classic Paul Davis ballad "I Go Crazy." We just had to have this one on the list. Paul Davis released some real pop gems in the late ’70s and early ’80s with songs like "Cool Night," "’65 Love Affair," and "Sweet Life."
#3 – Crazy On You – Heart
Heart’s first album was fueled by the success of the massive hit single "Magic Man." However, the song that won over the hearts of many young teenagers was Ann Wilson’s addictive love song "Crazy On You."
#2 – Jersey Girl – Tom Waits
It’s amazing how many people thought Bruce Springsteen had written the song "Jersey Girl." It was the perfect Springsteen song and fit his style so well. But Tom Waits fans knew better.
#1 – In Your Eyes – Peter Gabriel
This is one of those songs that became known as one of the most romantic songs in classic rock history because of its use in a major motion picture. Everyone remembers that pivotal scene in the movie Say Anything… where John Cusack stood outside holding up the boombox in order to win the girl back.
