Here's five off the top of my head....
Queen: Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, 1976. It brings a smile to my face every time. Very very catchy, jovial and fun.
Steely Dan: Hey Nineteen, 1980. Smooth and seductive and a little bit sad. About a middle aged man trying to bring home a 19 y/o girl, and the hoops he has to jump through to get it done.
Diana Ross: Love Hangover, 1979. Smooth and sexy. It's the musical version of riding around in '79 Town Car with an amorous Scarlett Johannson next to you.
Guns N' Roses: November Rain, 1991. Multi-layered, very powerful and unforgettable. A love song the way only Axl and the boys could do it. What's interesting is that Axl took much of his influences from Elton John and Queen.
Queen: The Millionaire Waltz, 1976. I love how this song goes from slow to fast, then back to slow to finish off. Freddie's lyrics spin a tale of lost love (with his male record manager, a man who was dating Elton John at the time), but it's an emotion we can all relate to. The piano work and guitar work in this song are amazing. A forgotten classic from Queen.
