Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post 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 Insanityman Report post 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 The Metal Maniac Report post 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". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nl5xsk1 Report post 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 Dmann2000 Report post 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" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Eyeball Kid Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post 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.
