É uma das tarefas mais difíceis, talvez mais difícil que escolher as melhores música de todos os tempos. Escolher 100 canções românticas tem que analisar cada verso, cada estrofe, a melodia e também o sentimento que a música traz e de tantas listas que encontrei na internet gostei desta que foi organizada pelo New York Daily News, mas estipulou duas regras: a música deveria ter feito parte da parada Top 20 e não poderia ter menos de dez anos.
A assobiável "My Girl" do Temptations faturou a primeira posição da lista com 100 músicas, seguida por Michael Jackson e o Jackson 5, "I´ll Be There", e pela baladona "Wonderful Tonight", do guitarrista Eric Clapton. Além da predominância de artistas da Motown, grande parte das músicas data das longínquas décadas de 60 e 70... Teria sido o mundo mais romântico naquela época?
