Blog your Tracklist, and a LOVE-ly giveaway! *CLOSED*
Di’s top 3 love songs!
My number one love song is ‘Your love keeps lifting me higher and higher‘ by Jackie Wilson – it’s one of those songs that’s so incredibly happy; every time I hear it I have to jump up and dance – this often causes problems when I hear it on Smooth FM whilst driving.
My next choice is the magical ‘Fire in my Heart‘ by the Super Furry Animals. We played it at our wedding ceremony and I adore it… I’ve got tickets to see Gruff, the Super Furries’ singer, on his solo tour next week which should be fabulous.
Finally, ‘Górecki’ by Lamb is a tune that I had on constant rotation (on cassette!) in my car back in the 90s. I saw them perform it live at Glastonbury 2003 and it was incredibly emotional.
Naturally, all of these songs sound far superior when listened to on vinyl, so I was delighted to see that there’s loads of rock vinyl for sale on the Price Minister website – I hadn’t realised you could sell on the site too, so it might well be time to part with all my duplicate LPs (after all, why would anyone need 4 copies of ‘The Stone Roses’?) Ryland is a big fan of our Technics record deck, although his music of choice is ‘Nursery Rhyme favourites’ and ‘2 Little Boys’ on 7 inch single… I hope his taste improves with age!
If you write a blog, you could bag yourself a £10 PriceMinister voucher just for taking part in this competition – all you need to do is list your own top 3 love songs! If you can get the most comments on your post you could even win a couple of iPods, a Fender Stratocaster or a Sony Vaio notebook – to enter and find out more visit www.priceminister.co.uk/events
If you don’t have a blog, then you could still be in with a prize as I’m giving away a CD copy of one of my favourite albums – and the perfect choice for Valentine’s Day! – the remastered ‘Forever Changes’ by Love.
To enter, simply leave me a comment below with your favourite love song, and don’t forget to leave a Twitter ID, email address or Facebook name so I can get in touch if you win! The giveaway is open worldwide and I will choose the winner using random.org on 28th February. If I get a good enough selection of love songs, I’ll put the best together in a Spotify playlist!
(and incase you’re wondering, I did get PriceMinister’s approval to run a little giveaway!)

I Honestly Love You: Olivia Newton John – i’m a bit of a secret ONJ fan. This is my favourite from 1974. It played at my wedding.
The one that comes to my mind is Poetry in Motion I’m Anna Thomas on Facebook.
I think I am going to choose You’re in my Heart by Rod Stewart, purely for the fact it was our first dance at my wedding. A song i will never forget. 😀
My fave love song is Unintended by Muse.
The lyrics are fabulous & Matt Bellamy’s incredible voice brings them to life. Sublime! x

My favorite? “Eternal Flame” by The Bangles. It’s romantic and classic. I just love it. (Did I just tell the whole world about my age? :D)
I love “Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling…Far Away is amazing too! Both really beautiful lyrics, I think.
My favourite love song is Far Away by Nickelback 🙂 – Possibly not a “normal” love song but I think it is beautiful.
Facebook id: Nic Shipley x
Well, your choices are pretty damn cool. I don’t really consider myself to have a favourite love song! So, I will tell you the first song about love that pops into my head, that I really like a lot. And that would be Love by John Lennon.
Good luck, hope you win lots of cool prizes x
anything by Adele she is brill especially the song someone like you
oh boy, so many to choose from! One that comes to mind though is Lonestars “Amazed” newer but destined to be a classic 🙂
My favourite love song is “Love You ‘Till the End” by The Pogues
🙂
Karen Scammell
Okay not sure this is exactly what you’re looking for, more lost love, but this song is amazingly sad- so touching and it made me actually cry when I first heard it, and on my many, many subsequent listens- What He Wrote by Laura Marling.
@medsdemon
For sure, my favourite would be Unchained Melody
@courtreporterON
@azrad89
Erm… a toughy but I’d have to go for Lonestar- amazed!
p.s Di your son looks *so* cute with his dj decks!
Its got to be Can’t Help Falling in Love by UB40 for me – an oldie but goodie!!
if you leave by omd @newgolddream71
“You do something to me” (well, not you, obviously!) by Paul Weller (Caroline, Oliver’s Mum)
I’m with Bex. Don’t tell my friends but I really like Tonight by Westlife too, even though I am too old to like Westlife 😉
@RosieScribble
I’m half ashamed to admit this but I’ve got to go fro England Dan & John Ford Coley – I’d Really Love To See You Tonight. (Anyone who doesn’t know this song, find it on youtube, and please don’t judge me for their hair & moustaches)

At my most beautiful by R.E.M, always loved Ol’ Stipeys voice and the beautiful lyrics such as “At my most beautiful.I count your eyelashes, secretly, with everyone whisper I love you.I let you sleep”
Well, if you can’t get all soppy on Valentines day, then when can you!
