#7, a fairly uninspired choice.

"I'm Not in Love" -- well, OK, but Dave's anti-love selections were a tad more creative. (And I say that as a big 10cc fan, generally.)
I would've expected an LN here

There should be an 'uninspired' option - not quite LN or FF, but not exactly out-of-the-box either.

Nice. Essential perhaps but very uninspired.

and how often is it heard when it's not, y'know, Valentine's Day?  It's like "White Christmas" or "Monster Mash"

I will say that RR's pro-love selections have mostly been un-sappy. I mean, we coulda got some real schmaltz.

"Let's Go To Bed" gets a pass in this context, even tho' the Cure are prime LN offenders on 10@10 generally.

It was a funny joke the first few hundred times I heard it...

I think I'd give the set a "C" in general - yes, there were a couple of obvious choices, but there really weren't any terrible ones.
