here are a few...thx

Rod Stewart - For the first time

D.I.V.O.R.C.E. by Tammy Wynette

Whoops, wrong list, I meant....

'Always' by Atlantic Starr


Incidentally, the Aerosmith track gets requested quite a lot here in the UK. I will quite often end an evening with that one if they've requested a slow song to finish.

Here's my 2 cents worth.

Give Me Forever I Do - John Tesh
Someone Like You - Van Morrison
Ribbon In The Sky - Stevie Wonder
For You - Kenny Lattimore
Lost In This Moment With You - Big & Rich
Stick Wit You – Pussycat Dolls

Ruben you still going to Vegas?

Ruben you still going to Vegas?
Big 10-4 Buddy!

"From This Moment" by Shania Twain

Into The Mystic - Van Morrisson

I used this song for 3 weddings in the summer of 06.

young...

How about "Always & Forever by Heatwave
Here & Now By Luther Vandross

geee....u guys dont need my input...you took all the good ones!

Charlene and any other ladies in this discussion are excluded but,
I can't believe I'm sitting here reading a bunch of guys making lists of sappy love songs. Oh where oh where has my man forum gone.:sqmad: Quick, someone start a wedding day poem thread!:sqeek:

CHUUUUUUUUUCK, I need some bikini's pleeeeeeeeeease. :sqbiggrin:

geee....u guys dont need my input...you took all the good ones!

Nah, Charlene we took all the easy ones.:sqrolleyes:

I'll bet if you put your mind to it, you'd come up with dozens that we haven't even mentioned yet.:sqbiggrin:

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

:sqeek:These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio":sqlaugh:

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- LINK REMOVED

You missed a couple that I have heard used.

It Feels Like Home - CHANTAL KREVIAZUK
Your Song - ELTON JOHN
The Way You Make Me Feel - MICHAEL JACKSON

"Anyone Else But You' by the moldy peaches were doing one with this song tonight. its the silly song from Juno but if you have a quirky young couple theyd probably dig it
