Hub Key: Love Song Genre's
Love is such an infinite topic in our lives, and because it's so encompassing and pervasive, many folks (myself included), find it helpful to separate the myriad of love songs into different genres or categories of love songs.
In this hub, we'll start out with the categories of: Passionate Love, Romantic Love, Sexy Love, Angry Love and Sad Love. Later on, I'll add some categories such as: Spiritual/Devotional Love songs, Vengeful Love songs, Soul Mate Love songs, Taboo Love songs and more. If you have any specific categories or genres of love songs that you would add to this list, please feel free to speak up in the comments below and see your list come out into the lime-light.
Passion is defined as an "uncontrollable or barely controllable" feeling experienced by a person such as yourself. It's the feeling we experience when we are inspired or in-spirit. When it comes to love, passion often goes hand in hand with it, especially when it comes to those first few enchanting months or years that we find ourselves dancing through the honeymoons of our budding relationships.
When a musician finds themselves in the throws of these passions, they tend to let it all spill out on paper and into rythmes and melodies that come out as juicy masterpieces that we love to sing along to as we think about our own passions. To your left, you'll see my list of the best Passionate Love songs from way back when, up into today.

Romantic Love songs are a lot like passionate love songs, except that they tend to cross the border over into the realms of corny gestures and poetic sonnets for the one's we love so deeply.

Each one of us can relate to some of the worlds more popular Angry Love songs. We might not always want to remember those dark moments, but they are there nonetheless. It's those moments when we've been cheated, lied to, left behind or left broken. After the tears and grief take their pound of flesh, the other side of our passions take their place in our fate, calling up all the anger we experienced through the relationship and sometimes beyond it.
Most of these songs are great to rage to in the car or the shower, when we're alone and feeling hurt and angry, but there are many other types of angry love songs that can take us from angry to enraged, or from upset to calm and serene. It just depends on what you're looking for.
