If music be the food of love, the eternally headphoned set should hypothetically be stocked up with sweethearts come Monday. Hypothetically.Even if youre not hooked to the hip on the 14th, that doesnt mean you cant listen to some romantic jams and quietly cry into your half-empty box of chocolates.Heres seven playlists to suit your romantic mood whether it be bitter or sweet including a list replete with jams handpicked by the swoony Mashable staff.1. Pandora: 80s Love SongsThe 80s were arguably the best era for (semi-raunchy) romantic comedies so put on some pink, get yourself looking pretty and pump up these jams at that wild dance party youre planning on throwing while the rents are out of town. (Just make sure to stow the curios away in the basement so that your moms Hummel collection stays out of harms way.)2. Slacker: Country Love RadioCountry songs are all about love! And tractors. Whether youre courting or farming (or both) this VDay, this station is sure to get your achy, breaky heart pattering.3. SoundCloud: Mr. Jonathan Toubins NY Night Train Soul Clap Classics Love aint nothing without soul, so thats why were including a free downloadable mix from New Yorks best DJ, Mr. Jonathan Toubin. Download and dance even if you scare the honeys away with your not-so-sick moves.4. Amazon: Free Valentines Day PlaylistOnce more, Amazon comes through with the sans-fees goods. Theres a song by Ginuwine (not Pony, sadly), so you know its good.5. Rhapsody: Valentines Day Classical CollectionFor the candles, roses and champagne cadre heres some classy classical from Rhapsody. Listen without paying during your free trial, or prune roses and buy a subscription instead.6. Vevo: Lovers RockIn our humble opinion, there is no better gift than a mixtape its personal, laboriously concocted and much less embarrassing to carry around than a giant pink teddy bear.Vevo is holding a contest this saccharine season to find a personalized VDay playlist to feature on its homepage on the 14th. If your object of affection (or intense stalk-age) digs music, we recommend showing him/her (and the entire Vevo community) that you care by entering said contest.7. Songza: Mashables Valentines Day MixThe Mashable staff has chosen their poison: Love songs. Guess who picked which jams. Hint: 99 Problems was not my selection.More Social Music Resources from Mashable: - 10 Online Resources for Free, Legal Music - How To Make Your Music Video Go Viral: 10 Tips From Cee-Lo, OK Go & More - 4 Ways Bands Can Cash in Online Without a Label - Top 10 Twitter Tips for Bands, By Bands - 5 Great Ways to Find Music That Suits Your Mood - 5 Free Ways to Identify that Song Stuck in Your HeadMain image courtesy of Flickr, bjornmeansbear, Mixtape image courtesy of Flickr, miss_rogueMore About: amazon, music, pandora, rhapsody, Slacker-Radio, songza, soundcloud, valentine's dayFor more Media coverage:Follow Mashable Media on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Media channelDownload our free apps for Android, Mac, iPhone and iPad Read More ...
