We totally expected Chris Brown to release some sort of horrible apology song/love song dedicated to Rihanna in not-so-distant future, but this is even worse than we had imagined.

The troubled twosome has recorded a duet–a love song, of course.

So, did the world’s worst couple rush into the recording studio to record a love song just in time to cash in on the publicity before Brown goes to court? Continue reading »

Got a better idea for the perfect Anti-Valentine’s Day playlist?
Leave a comment and give us your suggestions!

Kings of Leon—Sex on Fire mp3
Is it just us, or does this sound like rock’n'roll hipster slang for some sort of STD? Yeah, that’s what we thought. Enjoy your new Grammy award, boys.

Katy Perry—I Kissed a Girl mp3
By including this song, is your significant other telling you they cheated? Or simply letting you know that they have horrible, horrible taste in music. Either way, you’re better off alone.

Kanye West—Love Lockdown mp3
The horrors of bad singing and overuse of Auto Tune software combine with Kanye’s giant ego and lame lyrics to create a monstrously bad ballad. You’ll be single before the first verse is over.

Beyonce—Single Ladies mp3
Girls, if you want to scare your guy away for Valentine’s Day, send him a copy of this song filled with lyrics demanding engagement rings and serious commitments. Guys love that stuff.

Chris Brown—Kiss Kiss mp3
Only idiots still own Chris Brown albums. Hmm…Maybe it’s too soon for this one… Continue reading »

Love Songs for Valentine’s Power Ballads

Published January 29th, 2008 by Karen

Want to impress that special someone for Valentine’s Day?

If you have a pulse, odds are you’re at least mildly addicted to Guitar Hero, so why not use those shredding skills for something sweet by learning how to play a nice love song to make your sweetie swoon?

Yeah, that’s lame.

Instead, you should play a rockin’ power-ballad with a wild guitar solo in the middle!

Nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like a cheesy monster ballad, so check out these classics and pick one to share with that special metalhead in your life.

Top Love Songs for Power Ballad Fans

10. Cinderella—Don’t Know What You’ve Got (Till It’s Gone)(Video)
It’s no surprise that these fellas were pals of Bon Jovi, but with more of an Aerosmith/Rolling Stones vibe. Bonus points for the video featuring frontman Tom Keifer playing piano…at the beach…in a red sequined jacket. Fancy.

9. Skid Row—I Remember You
You remember Sebastian Bach, right? After his career with Skid Row, he turned to Broadway (Jesus Christ Superstar, in the title role) and television (playing a rockstar wannabe on Gilmore Girls).

8. Motley Crue—Home Sweet Home (Video)
Before Tommy Lee was Pamela Anderson’s ex-husband and the star of an infamous video and a boring reality show, he was writing heartrending ballads like this for Motley Crue. Yeah, we were surprised, too.

7. Extreme—More Than Words (Video)
Yes, this lovely acoustic guitar song is undeniably wuss-tacular, sensitive ponytails and all. But, you know all the words already, even if you don’t want to admit it. The best part of this video is that during the performance, the drummer is reading a magazine in the background because he’s so bored. Meanwhile, the bassist is petting a dog.

6. Mr. Big—To Be With You
See the explanation above, minus the dog.

5. Poison—Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Back in the ‘80s, Poison won all the girls’ hearts with their big hair. In 2007, formerly dreamy frontman Bret Michaels stars on his own reality/dating show, Rock of Love, featuring a horde of skanky girls trying to win his heart (and figure out whether he’s wearing a wig under his bandana).

4. Night Ranger—Sister Christian
Does this need an explanation? Didn’t think so.

3. Led Zeppelin—Stairway to Heaven
Maybe this isn’t really a power ballad? We’re not sure. But we are sure you’ve been dying to find an excuse to play this famous riff.

2. Bon Jovi—I’ll Be There For You
Seriously, you could use pretty much any song this New Jersey hair-metal group ever recorded. There’s no use trying to resist, these dopey songs are really, really catchy.

1. Damn Yankees—High Enough (Video)
Featuring members of Styx and Night Ranger, the true star of this unlikely super-group is the Motor City Madman himself, guitarist/hunter Ted Nugent. Ted’s known for his wild guitar solos and ruthless slaughter of furry little animals, but try to imagine this nutty bow-hunter as your own personal Cupid.

Top Country Love Songs for Valentine’s Day

Published January 14th, 2008 by Karen

Christmas is over, and hopefully you’ve taken down the lights and gotten rid of the tree by now.

And while it’s always a little sad once the holidays are over, the good news is that there’s another one just around the corner–Valentine’s Day is only a month away!

So, while it might be a little too early to start buying candy and flowers, you can start getting in the spirit with some of our favorite country love songs.

Today, we’re looking at what we consider old time country classics, but next time we’ll get into some new country songs, too—so check back and see if we picked your favorite (or leave a comment and let us know who you think should be on the list!).

Check back later for more of the best love songs as Valentine’s Day gets closer. There will probably be some more top country songs, but we’ll also add some rock love songs, power ballads, rap love songs, hip hop loves songs, love song lyrics, free mp3 music downloads and more!

So, here are the picks for the best country love songs, enjoy!

Top Five Favorite Classic Country Love Songs

5. “Love Me Tender”—Elvis
He was famous for his rock’n’roll hips, but the King was a country boy at heart.

4. “Tennessee Waltz”—Les Paul and Mary Ford
This guitar playing duo revolutionized modern recording and electric guitar playing (now in his 70s, Les just unveiled a new Gibson Les Paul robot guitar). And with this song, they added a little country heartache to their repertoire.

3. “Hello Walls”—Faron Young
An overlooked legend of country music, Faron Young’s classic country ballad finds him wandering through his house and wondering if it’s as lonesome as he is since his girl left.

2. “Ring of Fire”—Johnny Cash
With an opening line like, “Love is a burning thing,” you know you’re in for something good from the Man in Black.

1. “Crazy”—Patsy Cline

Written by a young Willie Nelson, this is a classic love song whether you like country music or not. We’ve all had broken hearts, but nobody sings it better than Patsy.
