Top 20 Rock Love Songs with Video Links

I was lucky to be born in the mid 1950s before "Rock" and "Rock and Roll" were even names for my favorite music genre. I love all music genres, but it is the timeless classic rock bands and rock solo artists, some spanning five decades of generations, that continue to leave me breathless by their talent. You can hardly mention "Rock" without thinking about legendary grass roots hard rock bands like Queen, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and The Doors.

I will always consider legendary Tina Turner as the Queen of Rock. Fans sang Turner's classic rock love song, River Deep Mountain High, karaoke style, to many rag dolls of that time. Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin has to be one of the best country rock love songs ever written and was Joplin's only No. 1 hit.

Of course, rock love songs from the beginning of Rock and Roll by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Buddy Holly were among some of my favorite childhood collections. Newer rock legends like Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi are now among my favorite rock music collection. Over the years, I also collected rock love songs from some of favorite heavy metal rock bands, punk rock bands, country rock bands, and pop rock bands.

I had to think long and hard about what I consider to be the Top 20 Rock Love Songs since I have 53 years of rock music favorites, but here are my favorite Rock Love Songs.
