It is difficult to come up with a good romantic mix tape without including the obvious (Al Green - Let's Stay Together), the cliché (Tony Bennett's "The Way You Look Tonight") the sappy (Edwin McCain's "I'll Be) or the cheesy (Lonestar's "Amazed"), which is why I am always impressed with a girl who can pump out a good mix that shows good taste, character, and broad musical appreciation.
