A 'little' song spectacular: In honor of St. Valentine

Music will sooth the savage beast, so I'm told. (I'm a beastly sort, being a Lion via the zodiac.) So why not some tunes for the holiday that give men reasons to buy chocolates, roses, rings and Lexuses for their significant others/girlfriends/Heather Mills' wannabe brides. (Cynical...I wonder why?)


So in honor of said performance of showing true (and often untrue) affection for your love, I put together a few lists of songs, and if you like, vote once per each group that is displayed for the BEST SONG/ARTIST. Kinda like a belated grammy award across several years. Realize, I could go on for a while, but I just put this together. Slapdash as it were.

KEEP IT FRESH TO DEATH!!!
