Top 10 Rock Love Songs

While I could list those classic rock ballads and easily assemble a list of ten great love rock songs, do you really need to read another list containing Guns 'N Roses "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on it? My list of top ten rock love songs leans more toward alternative/pop punk rock, some tunes might even be a bit sappy and whiny, but I promise I won't go all emo on you.

Top Ten Rock Love Songs: Matchbook Romance-Tiger Lily

This isn't one that you can rock out to, but it is a beautiful love song by a rock band nonetheless. If you are looking to recapture that feeling of the young and innocent love that you shared in high school, then this tune will help get you there.

Top Ten Rock Love Songs: Head Automatica-Beating Hearts Baby

Whenever I hear this one I just want to dance around my bedroom, flailing my arms all around like a crazy woman. This one definitely captures the wild energy that we usually feel in a turbulent and obsessive relationship.

Top Ten Rock Love Songs: Dashboard Confessional-Hands Down

I'm a sucker for any man singing all the words that I wish a boy would have said to me in high school, not to mention all the talk about sneaking around that brings back lots of high school relationship memories.

Top Ten Rock Love Songs: Weezer-I'm Just a Teenage Dirtbag Baby

This one is a great mixture of rockin' out and layin' low, it reminds me how it felt to crush on someone who didn't seem to even know I existed. Besides, what could be better than a rock love song that mentions another rock band like Iron Maiden?

Top Ten Rock Love Songs: Motion City Soundtrack-The Future Freaks Me Out

I love listening to this and remembering the almost manic feeling of desperately needing whomever I had feelings for, for that week anyway, in high school. And the best is definitely, "Oh Betty won't you--oh, fuck it!" When do you ever get comedy like that in a song, especially in a love song?
