Love Songs

If music be the food of love, then we've got a full-on banquet of sound for you, and there's not an ounce of junk in sight — just an incredible spread of choice cuts prepared to perfection by the likes of Sinéad O'Connor ("Nothing Compares 2 U"), Shania Twain ("You're Still the One"), Phil Collins ("Two Hearts"), and Wet Wet Wet ("Love Is All Around"). Can you feel the love? You haven't felt anything 'til you've been to Next Steps.

The tools of love take many forms, but you may as well consign your chocolates and flowers to the rubbish bin, because, at your fingertips, you now have the heightened sensitivity of the Eurythmics with "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", or the insane amour of Van Morrison ("Crazy Love"). Has your heart melted yet? It'll be a puddle of love in Deep Cuts.

Here, in the excessively palpitating section of our love playlist, there's no room for the mildly smitten. But if deep devotion is the place you're heading for, allow ABC to mirror your undying feelings with "All of My Heart" and go down on bended knee to the sound of "All for Love" by Bryan Adams (with a little help, of course, from Sting and Rod Stewart).

Does love have a sound? Absolutely it does, whether it's the lung-busting pitch perfection of Whitney Houston on "I Will Always Love You", the death's-door entreaties of k.d. lang (covering "The Air That I Breathe"), or the sophisticated lust of Bryan Ferry ("Make You Feel My Love"). The way to a man's heart may well be through his stomach, but his ears won't be neglected so long as you have this selection of amorous classics. We'll even go so far as to say that without these tunes, the world would simply cease to revolve.
