sonic youth - drunken butterfly
whitehouse - why you never became a dancer
prince - darling nikki

'cause of the lyrics

 

[Abu Ghurayb]

wolf eyes - Stabbed in the face

because it sounds like love should feel

 

[spin spin sugar]

sonic youth - drunken butterfly
whitehouse - why you never became a dancer
prince - darling nikki

'cause of the lyrics

i met her in a hotel lobby, masturbating w a magazine

my faves:

wild horses - stones
boys of summer - don henley
unchained melody, by anyone, but esp. elvis presley
+ a bunch of jeff buckley songs,
malibu - hole
sweet child o mine - guns n roses

edit - i forgot the 'why' part of the question.

wild horses, partly cos of the lyrics but also just the feel of the song i guess, also ive had amazing sex to it which probably helps

boys of summer, cos it reminds me of stupid teenage crushes which somehow become more?

unchained melody, just cos its amazing

jeff buckley writes the best love lyrics. coffee smell and lilac skin

malibu i cant explain, its just what love should be about to me i guess??

& sweet child o mine, its just something about the melody

112 - cupid
alexander o'neil - sunshine

'she touches me with a smile of gold, i cant go a day without my sunshine'

Unity Hall - only because

"i thought i saw her over there
but the sun was birght and the sky was cherry red
i almost had something to say
then the wind picked up and blew my breath away

i used to act like cary grant
the things id never understand
the things id never try to hide

only becuase
i like you"

Love are fantastic, my favourite song by them is either You Set The Scene, Alone Again Or, Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale, A House Is Not A Motel... actually, everything off Love's 'Forever Changes' album is amazing.

for real though

rahsaan roland kirk - lovellevelliloqui / i'm glad there is you
john coltrane - acknowledgement
cafe noir - l'image
ash ra tempel - suche&liebe
joni mitchell - a case of you
beach boys - god only knows
big star - kangaroo

 

[spin spin sugar]

'god only knows' is such a fantastic song, i love 'dont worry baby' as well but its probably not as intense as 'god only knows'

joni is always great... cept once she hit the 80s

 

[SashatheMan]

Lion King song lol

ELton John - Can you feel the love tonight

 

[funniboi]

jagged edge - i'm all out of love
4pm - sukiyaki
98degs - heaven's missing an angel
voices of theory - say it
avant - get away


too lazy to think .. bleh.

 

[Soma]

Cannibal Ox - The F-Word

because of the lyrics, because its different from your average love song.

 

[Annegelic]

Sisqo - incomplete
Monica - angel of mine
All 4 one - i can love you like that
+ others.

why - all time faves of mine.

 

[soha]

whitney housten
the greatest love of all
i dunno if its a love song
but she sings about love and i love it

 

[scarybunny]

velvet revolver- fall to pieces... all about scott and how lonely the poor thing is without his wife. mary, you silly woman, take him back!!!

im a sucker for a heart-wrenching guitar solo and vaguely sentimental lyrics...

 

[SashatheMan]

any death metal makes me love everyone

 

[imsooverskool]

Elton John- This is your song

I dunno why its my best love song of all time but it was the first song that popped into my head and it is one that always makes me think "Gee i wish i could find someone to love me that much"

I also love Wild Horses by the Stones, if u like it try and listen to the Sundays cover of it its really good

 

[Hippy La-Laa]

Careless Whisper- George Michael

or

More Than This- Roxy Music

What about 7 & 7 is?

I quite like Old Man, which you did not list. I think it's a tremendous piece of music.

Anyway, Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U is hard to surpass as a love song. Because of everything.

 

[Led-Zep]

uh the greatest love song of all, Layla by Eric clapton. also Wonderful tonight. 2 of the best id say, even though WT was written bout EC's lack of patience for his wife its still beautiful. but yea layla he wrote about his undying love for the then george harrisons wife, patti boyd who would later be claptons.
