Best Love Song?

Postby Grayson » Sat Nov 20, 2004 11:51 am

What is the best Alternative(Punk, New Wave, Modern, Goth, Ska, Grunge, Electronic, Industrial, whatever...) love song in your opinion?

I think mine is David Bowie's "Absolute Beginners".

Please make it a true "Love Song". Not love lost, lamented, mocked, derided, etc. ...

Despite the obvious title, I think Flock of Seagulls "Space Age Love Song" pretty much captures that elevated feeling as well as anything..

The Damned's "Love Song" - heartfelt, effusive, unashamedly enthusiastic!
The Smiths' "Is It Really So Strange" - for Morrissey, strange indeed!
The Cure's "Letter to Elise" - consuming, hopeless, yearning...excellent!

Nothing reflects "love in the 80s" better than Donnie Iris' "Do You Compute?":

Do I have to say it?
Don't you already know it?
Do I have to spell it out?
Don't you think I show it

Can't you see it's you I want tonight
(You have to read it)
You

Gotta go with The Damned's "Love Song." Always brings a tear to my eye!
