How about an experiment in meme-making...

Go into iTunes (or your mp3 player of choice) and search for 'love'. Post the results under a cut

I'm envious of your taste! It's by no means rubbish!

I might try this, but I'm not at the right computer at the moment.

[tree_and_leaf]

I'd be interested to see what you have....

[parrot-knight.livejournal.com]

I'll probably have a go late this evening.

[intertext.livejournal.com]

You don't have rubbish taste at all (imo, the only even slightly dubious entry is Perhaps Love - Domingo and Denver - but I'm sure I have something equally treacly in mine) I'll have to try this - I think we have some in common!

[tree_and_leaf]

Ooh, that would be interesting.

I freely admit there's no excuse for 'Perhaps Love', except that I just ripped the whole CD, and I do have a weakness for John Denver's less over-produced stuff..

[azdak.livejournal.com]

I fink yor list is very interlechual.

[tree_and_leaf]

Really? I'd have said 'incoherent', myself....

[azdak.livejournal.com]

Eclectic!

[fpb.livejournal.com]

Of course you have good taste in music. And I may add that I never expected anything else.

[tree_and_leaf]

Thank you, although I don't think there's any excuse at all for John Denver and Placido Domingo on the same record, and not much of one for Slade, either.... although anyone who doesn't have a few dubious things in their music collection probably doesn't really like music, or at least is very rigid about what they're willing to try.

[fpb.livejournal.com]

There is no excuse, rather, for the elitist nonsense that leads you to say such stuff. First, I should let Mr.Domingo, an artist of considerable integrity, worry about his own musical integrity. If the result is good, it is good. I do not know what your exact objection is, but I sincerely hope you have not subscribed to the commonplace, politically motivated and profoundly anti-artistic prejudice against country music - a prejudice arising from the perception that country music is redneck music. (And even if it was? Who was it who tried to ban jazz on the grounds that it was "nigger music"? The same reasoning backs both attitude - this comes from an inferior race or class, therefore it must be corrupting.) I am not ascribing this prejudice to you, but I am very suspicious of any attempt to drive wedges between "popular" and "high" culture, and I have spent a decade of my life fighting the imbecile self-hating prejudices of comics fans in this area. As far as I am concerned, Rossini was right: there are two kinds of music, good music and the other kind. If we start from that principle, we may then properly study the complex and demanding structures of the more elaborate Western classical music, or praise with property and without pretension the genuine touch of genius in simple popular melodies. But first we have to squeeze the last drop of the poisonous, clogged fat of class and ethnic prejudice from the muscles of our mind.

[tree_and_leaf]

No, I just don't think that that particular song and that particular combination of singing style works - I rather like John Denver, but cross-over can, in general, be a bit dicy.

Rossini was quite right!

[el-staplador.livejournal.com]

I considered doing this, but I did the search and found that I had 133 songs of that description, so decided that I couldn't be bothered.

[tree_and_leaf]

Understandable....

[dolabellae.livejournal.com]

A good list! I am envious of all your folk/traditional tinged songs. I had a quick go at this, and we only have one crossover, I think - the Simon & Garfunkel. I'd have the Beatles ones, but still haven't got round to putting them on my Ipod (my mum bought my dad CDs of all the albums for their 30th wedding anniversary).

Might post later, but was wondering - I have a fair number of tracks where 'love' features in the album or band name. 69, for example, in the Magnetic Fields' '69 Love songs.' Do you want to see these, or should I keep to track names only?

[tree_and_leaf]

Well, ! chucked out the songs where the album title contained 'love', otherwise it would have been much longer.

[tree_and_leaf]

I have more folk or folk rock than anything else, I think; I wish I knew more about indie, but I don't seem to know where to start.

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

Hey, there ain't nothin' wrong with a list that features The Beatles, The Decemberists, Leonard Cohen and Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.

[tree_and_leaf]

Thank you! The Decemberists stuff stems from one of my occassional attempts to find out about indie....

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

I have got all their four major albums and saw them live last autumn -- I can really recommend their music.

[helflaed.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to complain about any list which contains "I will give my love an apple"
