    Tribes' Valentine's Day Playlist

    There's been a lot of Valentine's scepticism on Gigwise so far, but what about the bands who aren't feeling quite so cold-hearted?

    We spoke to Jonny from Tribes about the songs that double up as the best adverts for Valentine's Day. He picked out his favourite love songs of all time, with a couple of curveballs thrown in too.

     

    The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses:  The best British love song ever.

    The Beatles - Julia:  One of Lennon's finest acoustic moments and a touching song. T-Rex - Deborah:  Classic Bolan and a great love song.

    Elton John - Candle In The Wind:  A master class in song writing. Oasis - Cast No Shadow We love oasis and this is Liam at his peak.

    Pulp - Common People:  It's rare that a love song also captures the climate of modern culture like this one does.

    The Libertines - Music When The Lights Go Out:  A stunning lyric of lost love and life. The best British song in 10 years. David Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing:  Supposedly written about Yoko. It's one of our favourite Bowie songs. Queen - Somebody To Love:  It's a great anthemic love song.
