Love songs for everyone

David Epley, Charger Staff

When I set out to list the top ten love songs of all time, I decided to counsel my good friend and well-knowlegded music connoisseur, Spencer Huddelston. Spencer and I jotted down some fine love songs and made a grand top ten. But sadly, those devious girls (Bailey, Emilee, Erica, Leigh,and Molly ) from newspaper caught on to what we were doing and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, took over the operation.

Needless to say, here is the finished project. The top ten, now top twenty, was decided on a vote cast by six of the fine ladies at newspaper, Spencer, and me. I know that fully covering the greatest love songs of all time is
