Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes
Gary Moore - Empty Rooms, Still Got the Blues
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You
Gillan - For Your Dreams
They're all quite sad songs, but I don't really like the happy ones too much...that with being terminally unlucky in love!

A little softer:

I have to agree, not what your mind would first turn to when thinking of a love song, and certainly not carrying the cliché associated with them, but the album really is beautiful and simply amazing. Have to mention "Second Love" and "This Heart Of Mine" as the more traditional love songs on the album.
Also "Wake Up" by Coheed & Cambria always gets to me.
