12 Valentine’s Day LOVE Songs From New Jersey Rockers

By Terrie Carr

Happy Valentine’s Day New Jersey! It’s Terrie Carr getting ready to rev up the “Love – Train” and “Anti-Love Train”
And bring you 12 of my favorite Valentine’s Day songs from the great state of New Jersey!
Join me today (February 14th) from 1p-3p for my 13th annual “WDHA Stupid Cupid Request Fest”

As you know, I’m always “Jersey Proud”, showing love for our state, our artists, and the music that makes our hearts beat and our bodies move. I put together a list of 12 of my favorites from rockers from New Jersey. Some you may know, some you may not. Some big rock hits, and some deeper cuts, but all are perfect songs for the day of love and rock! And all of them have been played at one time or another on 105.5 WDHA- The ROCK Of New Jersey.

The Smithereens tune is one of my favorites by them (they truly are one of my favorite bands), the Zakk Wylde cover is fantastic, and I’ve highlighted a few fun 80s selections- Trixter included Steve and PJ From Trixter at WDHA
and a few New Jersey legends too.

  • Bruce Springsteen- Tunnel Of Love

    This is a Springsteen masterpiece. Troubled times in love, incredible video shot in Asbury Park. New Jersey perfection.

  • Bon Jovi- In And Out Of Love

    Perfect for Valentine’s Day – Some are “in” and some are “out” of Love and of course this video is magic because it was shot in New Jersey (like Tunnel Of Love) however this one a bit further south at the Seaside Heights Boardwalk and guess who was there as a teen? ME!

  • Smithereens - Too Much Passion

    The Smithereens are truly a brilliant band and “Too Much Passion” from 1991’s “Blow Up” is one of the most underrated songs EVER! The strings, harmonies and Dennis Diken a master on the drums.

  • Trixter- One In A Million

    LOVE this incredible tune from New Jersey’s (and rock music’s ) first ever hard rock boy band (and I say that with much love as I adore these guys) Just a perfect rock/pop tune – and one of my favorites.

  • Saraya- Love Has Taken It's Toll

    Sandi Saraya was labeled the “Female Bon Jovi” and no doubt this band should have been bigger. This is a great rock banger and perfect for Valentine’s Day!

  • Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes- Hearts Of Stone

    The title track from Southside’s third album, a Bruce Springsteen written song, it’s classic New Jersey, especially this video pulled from a performance at The Capitol Theater in Passaic New Jersey.

  • My Chemical Romance- I Don't Love You

    From their epic 2006 release The Black Parade – “I Don’t Love You” is powerful, emotional and one of my favorites from the Newark New Jersey born band. And the video is fantastic!

  • Fountains Of Wayne - Stacy's Mom

    While technically the band is from New York City, they named themselves after the Wayne New Jersey Lawn and Garden store on Route 23, and the tune about falling in love with a friends hot mama is really fun for the day dedicated to love- especially if she looks like Rachel Hunter in the video!
    RIP Adam Schlesinger…….

  • Skid Row- I Remember You

    “Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand. love letters in the sand…I remember you…..”
    Those are Valentine’s Day lyrics for sure! Our Jersey metal brothers gave is one of the greatest power ballads of the 1980’s.

  • Nils Lofgren- Valentine

    Even though Nils was born in Chicago I’m including this one because of his E-Street status! Plus, come on…..it’s just perfect.

  • Joe Lynn Turner- Endlessly

    Such and underrated 80’s power ballad from Hackensack native and former Deep Prrple, Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist.  This came off of Joe’s solo record “Rescue You” which was released in 1985 and is one of the sleeper masterpieces of the 1980’s.

  • Zakk Wylde- Ain't No Sunshine

    Jackson New Jersey’s Metal Master has the most incredible vocal abilities. Zack’s cover of the 1970’s Bill Wither’s classic is soul stirring and I love love it.  The video is pure Zakk and exceptionally emotional featuring the late Vinnie Paul of Pantera.
