Guest TheCynicalHateMongerFromHell Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Well....post 'em. There has to be one that melts youse guys' metal hearts of stone.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 GWAR's "I Hate Love Songs". That's some beautiful shit right there.
Guest JangoFett4Hire Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Milkman by Aphex Twin I Would like Some milk From the milkman's wife's tits...
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Seconding Milkman. Oh yeah, and Depeche Mode's "Strangelove". To quote somebody who I don't remember, listen to that song twice and you'll have a deeper understanding of masochists, listen to it three times, and you'll be one.
Guest Zack Malibu Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Why do I get the feeling I'll be one of very few who post non-metal type songs here... "Careless Whisper" by WHAM! "If Wishes Came True" by Sweet Sensation "All Or Nothing" by O-Town "I Still Believe" by Brenda K Starr "After All" by Cher and Peter Cetera "I Do" by 98 Degrees
Guest DrainYou42 Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped Stephen Lynch - Bitch Love Sucks
Guest Jack Tunney Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Spiritualized-"Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" and "I Think I'm In Love (Chemical Brothers remix)".
Guest SPwasmurdered Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 "We Should Have Rode the Bumpercars" by Keepsake
Guest Insanityman Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 This now my favorite thread because it mentioned my favorite stand-up comedian... Stephen Lynch. Anywho, "About a Girl" Nirvana Unplugged, not really a love song- but it melted my last girlfriend right before I asked her out. (Granted we went out for a wee, that's NOT the point).

Guest Samurai_Goat Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Why don't you get a job? - Offspring
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Ever notice how "Why Don't You Get a Job" is pretty similar to "Ob La Di Ob La Da"?
Guest Gamengiri2002 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Ever notice how "Why Don't You Get a Job" is pretty similar to "Ob La Di Ob La Da"? never made the connection before, but it's pretty obvious now that you mention it
Guest KANE Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 "Lose" by 311. Great guitar solo. I like the oldies too, so I like "The Worst That Could Happen" by Brooklyn Bridge.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 The Plasmatics - "Put Your Love In Me" Iron Maiden - "The Thin Line Between Love And Hate"
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 "The Thin Line Between Love and Hate" as a love song? That's an interesting interpretation. I've never thought of it as such - I've always looked at it as being more of a social commentary then any specific sort of "love" song. As far as my favourites go...hrm...I suppose Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" is a decent one, as is Anathema's "Je Fait Un Promesse".
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I used love songs more as a little punk than ever before or since, so most of my choices are pop-punk: Agent Orange: All at Once Government Issue: Even When You're Here Dag Nasty: Trouble Is Dag Nasty: Things That Make No Sense Descendents: Too many to list, but without at doubt Cheer and Good Good Things have been used to impress the little punk girls.
Guest Brian Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 "Layla", Derek and the Dominoes (Clapton)
Guest spiny norman Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Wow, Zack was right. Feel all the romantic metalness. Madonna - Crazy For You The Beatles - Something Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 More romantic metalness: Type O Negative-the entire October Rust album. That cd's purpose is to give headbangers something to fuck to.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 It'll doubtless be a smiths or Frank Black number, I'll go with 'These things take time' off the top of my head.
Guest Dmann2000 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Ever notice how "Why Don't You Get a Job" is pretty similar to "Ob La Di Ob La Da"? Oh man I said that to my firend who likes the Beatles like me and she said "nah I don't hear it". I went crazy cause I couldn't believe she didn't hear the similarities. I also believe that Razor Ramon's theme rips off that Eagles/Don Henley song "Those Shoes"

Guest notJames Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Old-Timey Nat King Cole - "Sentimental Reasons" (my wedding song) Johnny Mathis - "Misty", "Chances Are" Frank Sinatra/Harry Connick Jr. - "It Had to Be You" Barry Manilow - "Weekend in New England", "Mandy" Billy Joel - "Always a Woman" Stevie Wonder- "Overjoyed" Modern Depeche Mode - "Somebody" Duran Duran - "Ordinary World" Juliana Hatfield - "Might Be In Love", "When You Loved Me", "Bottles and Flowers" Jeff Buckley - "Lover, You Should've Come Over" Joe Jackson - "Is She Really Going Out With Him" Indigo Girls - "You and Me of the 10,000 Wars", "Language or the Kiss" Descendents - "Wendy", "Silly Girl" (good choices, nl5xsk1) Green Day - "Paper Lanterns" Spin Doctors - "How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?) Shades Apart - "Chasing Daydreams" That Dog - "Minneapolis" And my new favourite: Tenacious D - "Fuck Her Gently"
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I've said them before, and I'll say them again: Red House Painters - "Katy Song" Radiohead - "Exit Music (for a film)"
Guest Eyeball Kid Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 "This Must Be the Place"--Talking Heads Something of a turning point for the band. Heads mastermind David Byrne's favorite subjects were delightful things such as fear and paranoia--which came to a boiling point on the claustrophobic Remain in Light--but their follow-up album, Speaking in Tongues, was significantly less disturbing than any of their previous works, and, on the final track, Byrne finally allows himself to be happy. It's a gorgeous song, one which can stand on its own merits, but is perhaps better appreciated within the context of the band's career.
Guest godthedog Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 i'm a beatles freak, so i think it's a tie between 'hey jude' and 'eleanor rigby'. two sides of the same coin, i guess. both beautifully written, and speak to me a LOT personally. 'losing my religion' is also a GREAT love song. the damn video made everybody think it has all these religious, existential meanings, but stipe himself says it's about falling for somebody and not knowing how to let them know. sounds great solo on an acoustic guitar too. one night a year & a half ago, i played the song for one of my best friends to let her know i was falling for her. about 3 hours later, we were making out in the lobby of her dorm room. greatest night of my life.
Guest Brian Posted February 13, 2003 Report Posted February 13, 2003 REM's "Losing My Religion" is a great choice. All the Beatles talk reminded me of "Something".
