In the love song wastelands, there is little sign of life. There are many overwrought, mangled clichés littering the paths; strange, rushed depictions of emotions which mean nothing. But look closer and you will find the occasional jewel; a vibrant, alive song which shimmers with sincerity and tenderness. I want to know what your favourite love songs are; the ones which shrug off the badly-fitting clichés and step into their own beautiful skin. Some ideas from me:
She Fuckin' Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd
Brassneck - Wedding Present
Bitch iz a Bitch - NWA
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Broken Heart - Spiritualized
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Aisha - Death in Vegas (feat. Iggy Pop)
I've Been Tired - The Pixies
Nimrod's Son - The Pixies
Sick On You - The Boys
Jilted John - Jilted John (John Shuttleworth)
What I Like About You Most Is Your Girlfriend - The Specials
1966 And All That - Half Man Half Biscuit
