STG, nice to see you're still here.

To Love Somebody - The Bee Gees is a good possibility.

The original "Sea of Love" -- yeah, I found it. It's kinda creepy in a way.

"That's the day I knew you were my pet" ?

That comes across to me in the same fashion as "Every Breath You Take", which isn't about love -- it's about posessiveness and obsession.

...Everybody's got it wrong...the ULTIMATE LOVE SONG is "Too Drunk to F*ck" by The Dead Kennedys..... have it somewhere as a single in my "put away vinyl collection"... "Down in the Hole" on Emotional Rescue is a good love song....


OK, OK, seriously...

Yeah Days is good. One of my favorite Kinks songs.

Elvis is the ultimate love song singer.
AFTER LOVING YOU (Memphis session '69) would be my favourite.

So true Frank, Don't know why Ray kinda seems to screw it up everytime they play it live and it's "officially" released.... I think I have about 3 or 4 different versions and it's never quite right... maybe it "hits the spot" a little to close so he wants to kinda get goofy with it... There's an Elvis Costello version of DAYS from the Wim Wender film "UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD" - masterpiece STILL not out on DVD - which is really great, very haunting kinda vibe to it (which works really well in the film).....

John Lennon- Love (Plastic Ono Band)

This Place Is Empty

memory motel

The Way You look tonight-Sinatra's version
Everybody Loves Somebody-Dino
A little is enough-Pete Townshend

it's hard to think without coffee yet, but just reading through everything here -

BeeGees - To Love Somebody
(OLD beegees were GREAT)

Eric Clapton - Change The World

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world...

my favs:

BeeGees - To Love Somebody
Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody
Diana Ross - Someday We'll be Together
Cracker - I Ride my Bike (sounds like the Doors?)

those innocent old beatles ... i wanna hold your hand
first record i ever bought !

keith - make no mistake
WOW...

>>i wanna hold your hand << yep, love it


Steven *dad* & Santana - Just Feel Better

Long to hold you in my arms
To all things I ought to leave behind,
It's really getting nowhere
I think I need a little help this time!

All in all - most love songs suck - while a small percentage of them are terrific.

you can say exactly the same thing about love stories

Liz Phair - Mesmerizing (from her Exile album :-)
WOW

Freddie Mercury - Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow

Peral Jam Last Kiss
