my bad, i forgot the 'albums' part of the question. anyway, also look to lust for life; not all the songs are about loving another person, and most are more lustful than loving, but i'm gonna find a way to sneak that in here

True, but I would say specifically, A Hard Day's Night is the most consistent love-themed album, with two exceptions: You Can't Do That, which is the possessive,vindictive variety, and I'll Cry instead, which is a sort of male reaction to being dumped. Leave it to John Lennon to write those kind of songs. But it doesn't get more lovey dovey than If I Fell, And I Love Her, Any Time at All, and Things We Said Today.

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get it On
Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down (definitely 'uncool' but this is still a great love album)
Whitney Houston - Whitney (she has an incredible voice and the songs on this album are fantastic)

Personally, I think soul artists make the best love albums but that's another debate...

I quite agree, for some reason, that is the case..another example the album, "Mighty Love', by the Spinners..and Whitney does have an incredible instrument and off topic I thought that her version of "I'm every woman" was better than Chaka's although I have a huge Chaka Kahn fan.

Not to mention And I Love Her is a great piece of music regardless of theme.

Listening to the Zombies' "Odessey and Oracle" right now, and this album could just be it.

Beautiful...

Lost love... Blood on the Tracks by a million miles

Puppy dog teenage love... anything produed by Phil Spector in the early 60's

F'd up adult relationships.... Prince's Sign O' the Times speaks to me a bit as well

I really think What's Going On by Marvin Gaye is really a love album to all of life.

Blood On the Tracks is another "love" theme great.
