If only you knew / Yes
Oh, what a choice, and how could I forget to put this on my list?
When I first met my wife nearly ten years ago, I did her a tape of some prog which I thought she would like to listen to on the Eurostar train journey to a wedding she was attending in France. She hates being underground, so I thought that the music might help. She fell in love with this song, and it might even have persuaded her to completely fall for me.
A big for this choice and a big to myself for even daring to forget!

foremost, "I Have Been In You" by Frank Zappa.
"Lost" by Van der Graaf Generator, "Onward" by Yes, "Vision" by Peter Hammill.
Explosions in the Sky call the album "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place" their attempt at love songs. So, while an instrumental album, it does definitely have that feeling.

"Lover" by Caravan "Cunning Stunts" album 1975
That is a good one, I also like Caravan's "Love Song with Flute" considerably. Another Canterbury one I really like, and I know many don't like it much, is Matching Mole's "O Caroline".

Isn't Musical Box a love song? Gets my vote if so. Ocean Gypsy is great though it's really more of a padded pop song. I don't think I can quite call She Chameleon a love song else I might pick that over these for the vocal performance.

Declaring Musical Box as a love song might be why so many people don't like prog. Our love songs are about ghosts emerging from musical boxes to profess their love to the little girl who beheaded them ... :P

I guess Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush also could pass as a love song. It’s played too much, perhaps, but it’s still a fantastic song (and quite creepy, knowing that Cathy is dead).

Before I put in my plea earlier for her "Houdini", I did pause a moment to ask myself whether I should say "Wuthering Heights" instead. But then I thought better of it, and sided with the crushingly tragic, real-world love of "Rosabelle" for Harry.
Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?
