(CNN)What makes a great love song?
The answer, of course, is in the ears of the beholder. What makes one listener swoon may grate on another like the sound of a dial-up modem. And almost any song can become a love song if it conjures an emotional memory of someone we love, or loved.
As the most universal -- and the most shopworn -- of subjects, love has been inspiring songwriters for centuries. Of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, "love" appears in the lyrics more than any other word.
Yes, love songs are more common than Internet cats. Great love songs, however, are much rarer.
My comments: Internet cats?! Why not Internet dogs?

Making a shortlist of the greatest love songs of all time would be a daunting task because there are just so many (see the gallery above). So we narrowed our criteria.
Here's our list of the 16 best love songs since 2000 -- defined as an affirmation of desire toward someone, preferably with some emotional heft. Our rules: Songs in English only, sorry. No more than one song per artist. And no wildly obscure tunes by that indie band that you and 37 other people liked in college.
My comments: I don't understand the second half of the last sentence. Why 37?

No doubt you will disagree with most of our choices. (This is an admittedly mainstream, pop-dominated list.) That's fine, everyone's tastes are different. But consider casting a vote below for your favorite, or least-hated, song.
