Bryan Adams - Everything
Barbra Streisand - Woman in Love
John Colic - You Are In My Blood
🙂

Carol Jackson45 said:Arrrrgggh. Now I won't be able to get this out of my head for at least two days.

Since this heavy fate has already fallen upon me—why shouldn't I share it with those dear to me? 😬 Charles Kennedy is pure EVIL.

Carol Jackson45 said:Washington, D.C. - Take My Breath Away

My Morning Jacket - Take My Breath Away 🙂

boldscout72 said:Pull this. Right now. 😠

Jon Secada - Another Day 😬

Why? It’s sappy and romantic. 😍I love sappy and romantic! 😳

Yeah, Atomic Kitten is a great track, but if we're going there, we might as well throw in Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 and All Saints - Never Ever.

Ugh, Emily Barrett15, I've got nothing but respect for you... 😁

Putting Jon Secada among those weeds!!!!!!!! 🙂

hollowseal33 said:why? she’s just too sappy and romantic 😍 personally, I live for all that sappy, romantic stuff 😳

She isn't sappy—she is absolutely stunning. And even if she is a tiny bit sentimental, she certainly isn't as heavy-handed as November Rain... now, when cowboys start weeping, that's a whole different level of intense. It feels almost like witnessing the Holocaust or a full-blown Civil War. That isn't "sappy." Though, I must admit... November Rain does possess perhaps the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. 😁

just take it - babe

🙂 🙂

Again Lenny Kravitz

So, what—is he just being unpleasant? 😁

Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You

brightridge19 said:Well, what if he just isn't particularly tidy? 😁

Of course he's tidy... He's practically a saint. Just like Muhammad. Let's not start any diplomatic incidents here... 🙂

Carol Jackson45 said:Lenny Kravitz - Again

Lenny Kravitz - I belong to you 🤮

Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting 🤮

boldscout72 said:Of course it’s cheesy. He’s a saint. Like Muhammad. Let's not start an international incident here.🙂

Cut the crap, Varoslave. Look, let's just call it even—like Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." That’s cheesy too. People seriously need to realize that being cheesy isn't bad or stupid. It's just a completely different aesthetic altogether.

She was asking about Jon Secada—now, if I may be so bold—let’s handle this delicately before things get prickly. 😁

Foo Fighters - Walking After You. This track always hits me—it's one of those songs that just lingers.

Al Green—Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone... such a classic! It just hits different every single time, doesn't it? That soulful, smooth vibe is absolutely unmatched...
ZZ Top: Blue Jeans Blues... just such a classic vibe! There’s something about that gritty, Texas-sized swagger they bring to the table—it always hits different, doesn't it? It's one of those tracks that just perfectly captures that soulful, bluesy grit while still feeling totally cool and laid back at the same time... definitely one for the heavy rotation!
Nick Cave - Into My Arms... just hits different, doesn't it? There’s something about that raw, soulful vulnerability—it’s like he’s sitting right there in the room with you, pouring his heart out. It’s one of those tracks that stays with you long after the music stops... pure magic.
Joe Dassin - Summer in America
Come closer to me...
The Beatles: I Want You...
Thomas Dolby: honestly, I'm starting to give myself the creeps...
Dee Dee Bridgewater really knows how to do it—she just takes that "Killing Me Softly" vibe and makes it entirely her own! There’s something about her delivery that hits differently... it’s soulful, it’s powerful, and she just pours so much emotion into every single note. Honestly, listening to her version is such an experience—it’s like she’s telling a whole story without needing any extra fluff... just pure, unadulterated talent on display!
Frank Sinatra: I've Got You Under My Skin
Paul Anka: Sealed with a Kiss
The Rolling Stones - Miss You... such a classic! There's just something about that groove that hits differently every single time—it’s got that perfect blend of disco influence and pure rock grit that makes it impossible to sit still. Honestly, I could listen to that drum beat on loop all day and never get tired of it!
Iggy Pop and "Candy"—man, what a track! There’s just something about that raw energy he brings to the table, isn't there? It's one of those songs that really hits a specific nerve... such a classic vibe!
Jacques Brel: Ne Me Quitte Pas
Chris Isaak: Wicked Game... what a vibe!
Ella Fitzgerald: Fever
Terence Trent D'Arby: Delicate... such a smooth, soulful vibe!

Heh, just a couple of things from Tulum ii 😍 :slimy:

Carol Jackson45 said:Hehe, just a couple of things from Tulum I and ii 😍 :slimy:

:elwuss and I are dancing the squeeze: 😁

brightridge19 is completely missing the mark here... Edwyn Collins is an optimist, and the Foo Fighters are too... They don't have that greasy, superficial vibe. As for my colleague who brought up "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones—that's one of the coolest tracks ever recorded... and it has absolutely nothing to do with Valentine's Day, romance, kittens, or any of that fluff... "Miss You" is about decadence, sex, and a heavy high; it's a whole different scene, a different wavelength entirely... 🙂

Bryan Adams - Can't Stop This Thing We Started

Why am I even responding to this? 🤦

edit: Dear grumpy moderator—just let me be a bit eccentric. I find those two tracks rather slimy—even if they are admittedly beautiful. Keep the Edwyn Collins one. It’s a shame my own sense of taste isn't as sharp as yours—though feel free to leave them out when you're putting together that compilation for your sweetheart. No hard feelings on my end.

boldscout72 said::man, me and my buddy are just vibing out: 😁

🙂:

Yeah, hell yeah, I absolutely love those two things. 😍 :slop:
