Whether you think they're better suited to hipster or pop radio audiences, Kings of Leon can now officially claim to be for lovers. The Tennessee rockers beat out Marvin Gaye, Al Green and Eric Clapton in a love song competition sponsored by dating site eHarmony UK.

As part of its Perfect Mixtape Challenge, the site -- somewhat surprisingly -- identified KOL's hot-blooded 'Sex on Fire' as its users' favorite love song. Standard romantic fare like Gaye's 'Let's Get It On,' Green's 'Let's Stay Together,' Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' and 'Your Song' by Elton John rounded out the top five. Another surprise was Joy Division's swan song single, 'Love Will Tear Us Apart,' which also made the list at number 10.

In related news, the Kings -- who are avid sports fans and lifelong Oklahoma Sooners loyalists -- also confessed to ESPN this week which athletes they would want to be if they weren't rock stars. Frontman Caleb Followill chose football great Billy Sims, who won the 1978 Heisman Trophy playing for Oklahoma, while bassist Jared picked former Sooners and current Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.

As expected, their drummer brother Nathan also followed suit, saying, "If I weren't a rock star, which athlete would I want to be? I would have to say anyone who plays for the Oklahoma Sooners, in any sport, especially women's ping pong."
