I’ve recently done a bunch of lyrical themes as the topic for my Question of the Day. It’s been interesting to see what songs listeners think of when I mention, rock N roll, drinking……and love! I always love reading through listener responses to see what the most popular songs or bands are. Listener responses are much more intriguing than my own lol! I wanted to take a look at the Top 5 Love-Themed Rock Songs According To New Jersey Music Fans.

Each weekday I have a feature called First Call Last, where I play a themed block of music based on listener responses to the Question of The Day posted on the DHA Facebook page. As I said, it’s a ton of fun, because I get to go through listener comments and read their answer and they always have some really good ones!

The other day I chose my lyrical theme to be LOVE. It went over really well. There were a number of responses that were really cool. It was interesting to see if people went with over-the-top cheesed-out love anthems or maybe songs of heartbreak or rejection. There are all different types and so many are done really well.

Some listeners find the lovey-dovey ones a little too cheese-filled for their liking, while others enjoy the happiness and romantic lyrics often contained in those power ballads. I love both – Heartbreak anthems and confessions of love. I don’t think you can go wrong either way. It might depend on mood, your relationship status, or just the day…..but there’s a time and a place for each type of song about love.

And boy are there a ton of them too! That’s one of the most popular themes, not only in rock, but all genres. It’s pretty amazing. Let’s take a look at the Top 5 Love-Themed Rock Songs According to NJ Music Fans.

  • WHEN IT'S LOVE - VAN HALEN

    Definitely a different vibe than when DLR was fronting the band. But this one is so good and features some great playing.

  • LET MY LOVE OPEN THE DOOR - PETE TOWNSHEND

    Yep – Cheesy.  But catchy and short and sweet.  A great tune from a  legend.

  • LOVE BITES - DEF LEPPARD

    Kind of singing about both sides of love, including the pain you can experience.  Def Leppard at their finest!

  • HOW DID YOU LOVE - SHINEDOWN

    A bit of a different spin.  Looking back on your life, ho will you answer when asked “How Did you love?” Shinedown brings it like always.

  • WHAT IT TAKES - AERMITH

    Being deeply in love and trying to get that person back or keep them in your life.  It’s a pretty emotional tune!
