Love Songs (or not)

Your assignment is to create a love song playlist on grooveshark. We'll work on posting them to your blogs (like this) on the day we return to class. While this technically concerns love songs, you can really look at it as any kind of love. Love, crush, I used to love you (but now I don't), I still love you (but you don't love me back), et cetera. Please make sure the content is appropriate.

You should have the following:
1. A minimum of 10 songs
2. A purpose for each song (why did you select it)
3. Why are the songs in the order they are in?
