What is your favourite love song from a prog band? And from a non-prog band? I know Porg is not the genre with the msot love songs, but I think we can come up with some good ones! i would say my personal favorite is nights in white satin from the moody blues, or love of my life from Queen, if you count that as progressive! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Philrod/?chartstyle=Geldropdown-small">

For prog, C'Est la Vies, by ELP. For non-prog, probably something off of Maroon 5's first album... |

Undertow, by Pain of Salvation. It makes me cry everytime I listen to it. Maybe because I remember a concert...

Elizabeth - Fruupp. Really, really beautiful. I urge everybody who doesn't know about this band check out this song now. And the most melancholic love song I've ever listened to may be as well 'Isadora' by Illusion. Also, the BEST love lyrics ever are in Franco Battiato's "La Cura": How to express deep love and devotion without saying the worl 'love' nor writting 'sentimental crap' (yes, I also like 'O, Caroline' a lot |

I'm not sure that 'Closer to the Heart' by Rush and 'Blood on the rooftops' by Genesis are love songs Anyway, fave love songs.. Turn of the Century - Yes ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
They are songs about how awful everything is, and how we should change it, in the case of the Rush song, or how we should just give in to it and get on with things in the case of Genesis..Posted By: Dragon Phoenix

Kayleigh - Marillion Jesse - Janis Ian Several songs mentioned so far I would not qualify as love songs (Shine on you crazy diamond for instance). ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

for Prog, I'll have to think about it... so many prog bands do love songs so badly... but for non-prog: Lionel Richie - Still In Love With You Why, you ask? Lionel Richie is simply the pinnacle of what writing love songs is about. He's a natural. No, he's NOT a natural at writing prog, and if he ever tried we'd probably all laugh. But his love songs are legendary. OK, for prog... I can't think of a song that would (1) qualify as a love song (2) by a certified prog band and (3) actually be good enough to mention. Including all that have been mentioned previously. I'll probably have to look through my CD collection to see. Just for clarification, a song by a band/artist who USED to be prog does not count - e.g., "In Too Deep" is by Genesis the POP band. |
