What Are the Best Love Songs of All Time?

Selecting the best love songs of all time is a project which requires subjective choices. Different people have different concepts of the "best." Furthermore, there were probably some great songs before recorded music that we will never know about.

After going through some various resources, as well as general feelings about love songs, it is possible to put together a starter list of the greatest love songs.
