Isn't the point of a mix tape, or mix cd, or mix whatever else that it should be intimate and personal?

In other words, an eclectic selection of tracks suggested by people on a hi-fi forum may make for a great compilation, but it won't mean so much to your other half. Presumably there are songs that mean a great deal to you both and really help you connect.

Forgive me, but consulting a bunch of near-strangers seems a rather clinical way to approach this. shifty

Bunch of strangers  Shock These people are like family  Wink You are right about that in a way, I want it to to be just the type of cd you can't stop listening too....of course I'll get our favourites in there too.

RE: Most Romantic Song Ever

If your wife likes 80's style music then this might do the trick Wink Smile

Taja Sevelle - Love is contagious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD9pj5drMrs

Or maybe Judie Tzuke - Stay with me til dawn .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yCda0GkJlw

But for me it's Roberta Flack - The first time , along with many others it seems . Smile

So can we safely say that The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is the most romantic song ever written by a communist?
