From The Cure To KLF, Snag 50 Songs That Happen To Have ‘Love’ In Their Title

Richard Hell, the Rico Suave of Punk Rock

Since we love all of you more than life itself, the self-titled staff thought we’d spend the tail end of Valentine’s Day sharing our favorite “love” songs. And by that, we simply mean that the word’s in every title. Needless to say, this led to some rather random selections, including a self-indulgent Cure remix, rare groove rock from Singapore and Germany, dashes of dubstep and Italo disco, and some mighty fine music from PJ Harvey, David Byrne, Animal Collective, Spiritualized and many, many more.

By the way, if you’re an artist that disapproves of this message, simply tell us and we’ll gladly swipe your selection out for someone else.
