<p>Hi, I’ve recently asked questions on Yahoo answers about some of the 70s/80s rock love songs…but no one has really replied to my likes. I have this special love for 70s and 80s rock song/ballad, so can anyone recommend some great songs like Nothing’s gonna change my love for You, Unchained Melody, You’re the Inspiration, Lady in Red, songs like these for me? 70s and 80s rock love ballads. That would be great, thanks a lot!</p>
<p>try R & B</p>

<p>[pedantic] Unchained Melody was first recorded in 1955, not the 70’s. [/pedantic]</p>
<p>Leader of the Pack! Great sound effects when the car crashes.<br>
Johnny Angel, …how I love him, …And I pray that someday he’ll love me… And together we will see how lovely heaven will be…
that’s right, all these tunes go back to the 60’s and earlier.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, all this heavy metal no melody currant music is just a fad. Like Disco it will fade and something new will take it’s place.Remember to wear ear plugs if you go to see any of the currant groups. Someday you may want to hear the birds sing! </p>
<p>She Wore Bl…ue Vel…vet…Woa, woa… Bluer than velvet was the night…woa , woa , woa, softer than velvet was her sight…</p>
<p>Cherish is the word…bup , bup</p>
<p>MacArthur Park
someone left the cake out in the rain and I just can’t take it.
Such a pretty tune, such goofy lyrics</p>
<p>We have a theatre nearby where many of the old rock and roll singers come to play. I never go but I really should . The Righteous Brothers came and played and then in the next city one of the leads died. I’m so sorry I didn’t go to that last show.</p>
<p>Journey was my first thought too!</p>
<p>Even the Rolling Stones and Kiss had a few good ballads.</p>
<p>I always liked the Stones As Tears Go By though you could argue Marianne Faithful did it even better than they did.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, guys!</p>
<p>“just you ‘n’ me” by Chicago is the absolute best song, released in 1973. It is my all time favorite love song.</p>
<p>Whitesnake, “Here I Go Again on my own” Anything by journey, duh.</p>
<p>Each of these will literally bring chills to me, and I can recognize them in 2 notes. (What a fun thread)</p>
<p>“Baby I’m A-Want You” Bread (Baby I’m a-want you, baby I’m a-need you, you’re the only one I care enough to hurt about…)</p>
<p>Also from Bread “Make it With You” (Hey, have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side, I may be climbing on rainbows but baby, here goes. Dreams, they’re for those who sleep, life is for us to keep. And if you’re wondering what this song is leading to, I want to make it with you…)</p>
<p>“If You Don’t Know Me By Now” Simply Red (If you don’t know me by now you will never, never, never know me. All the things, that we’ve been through, you should understand me, like I understand you. Now baby I know the difference between right and wrong, I ain’t gonna do nothing to upset our happy home…)</p>
<p>“Reflections of My Life” The Marmalade (The changing of sunlight to moonlight, reflections of my life…oh, how they fill my eyes)</p>
<p>“Another Park, Another Sunday” The Dooboe Brothers (I’m sittin’ in my room, I’m starin’ out my window, and I wonder where you’ve gone. Thinking back on the happy hours just before the dawn. Outside the wind is blowin’, it seems to call your name…again)</p>
<p>Autumn - Edgar Winter</p>
<p>Hearts of Stone – Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (yeah, I know you’ve never heard of it)
lovesong – The Cure
Avalon – Roxy Music
Baby I Love Your Way – Peter Frampton
Your Song – Elton John
Oh Girl – Paul Young (cover)
True – Spandau Ballet
Sandy (Fourth of July, Asbury Park) – Springsteen
The whole Christopher Cross short-lived phenomenon</p>
<p>In addition to Just a Mom’s contributions, I would just throw in the whole Bread’s Greatest Hits album, which is a guilty pleasure for me, since I pretty much agree with Dave Barry that Bread could possibly be the “weeniest” band of all time.</p>
<p>I’m feeling very, very old. And guilty for liking some of these as much as I did.</p>
<p>ebeeee…whitesnake, ROFL</p>
<p>More guilty-pleasure 80’s ballads:</p>
<p>Take my Breath Away by Berlin
Africa by Toto
Kyrie by Mr. Mister
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
Save a Prayer by Duran Duran
Magic by the Cars
If You Leave by Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark
Hungry Eyes from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack (in my own defense, I was in sixth grade)</p>
<p>and of course, the greatest rock love ballad of all time:</p>
<p>In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel</p>
<p>Now I’m wildly curious to see how these will sound to a young fan’s ears. After you do some downloading, stop by here again to tell us old fogeys what you think. 
I’m going to go fire up my iPod.</p>
