A few of our top choices:

1. Hero — Enrique Iglesias (chosen by Editor-in-Chief Corinne Beckinger)

“Listening to this song could possibly be the most stereotypical — and yet entirely fitting — song for your Valentine’s Day enjoyment.”

2. Do You Realize? — The Flaming Lips (chosen by Life Editor Kali Daniel)

“This is the first year I will have someone on Valentine’s Day (knock on wood). Everyone tends to make the day about loving a significant other, but what about those around you who you don’t spoon with (or do — no judgment). This song makes me cry every time. It reminds me of how valuable everyone in my life is and how you should acknowledge that you love them, even if they’re not adorning you with chocolates and flowers.”

3. Head Over Feet — Alanis Morissette (chosen by Managing Editor Blythe Steelman)

“Everybody has been (or wants to be) head over heels for someone at least once in his or her life. This song always takes me back to that feeling and is just a cute way of expressing your love for that other person.”

4. I’m the man who loves you — Wilco (chosen by News Editor Pace Holdbrooks)

“My best friend showed me this song. So, there’s that. This is just a great song. The word love is in it. What do you want from me? Happy Valentine’s Day, ya goof.”

5. Caroline — Old Crow Medicine Show (chosen by Online Editor Anna Grace Usery)

“Southern love is sweet, sassy, hectic and empowering. Old Crow Medicine Show gives their mundane take on love in a cheesy, bluegrass spectacle.”

6. Case Of You — Joni Mitchell (chosen by Sports Editor Dallas Moore)

“Not only is Joni Mitchell amazing, but this song is also on the soundtrack of Practical Magic — one of my favorite movies.”

7. Feel Like Makin’ Love — D’Angelo (chosen by News Editor Pace Holdbrooks)

“This is not a cheesy 80s rock song. No, sir — this song is velvety smooth and makes you long for the heyday of 90s R&B. Turn this one on and get educated.”

8. I’ve Got A Crush on You — Linda Ronstadt (chosen by Managing Editor Blythe Steelman)

“Any cover of this song is basically perfect, but Linda’s cover is by and far my favorite. It’s such a sweet, simple declaration of having feelings for someone. It’s also the perfect song for a slow dance!”

9. Falling In Love With You Again — Imelda May (chosen by Sports Editor Dallas Moore)

“Having been in a relationship for nine years, this song has never been more relevant. But for couples young and old alike, this song will slow you down and make you remember how it all started — no matter how long ago that was.”

10. Light My Fire — The Doors (chosen by Online Editor Anna Grace Usery)

“First of all, Jim Morrison lives. Second, this song screams passion in a psychedelic ethereal fashion, 1970s style.”

11. Little Things — One Direction (chosen by Editor-in-Chief Corinne Beckinger)

“If you’re a guy of few words or maybe one that needs some help telling your leading lady how wonderful she really is, let the lads of One Direction take it away.”

12. Sexual Healing — Marvin Gaye (chosen by Life Editor Kali Daniel)

“This should be fairly self-explanatory, but if you are just trying to get lucky and aren’t interested in Daft Punk or you’re looking for some afternoon delight and just aren’t feeling 70s obscure pop, Marvin Gaye is your man. Always.”
