Let's talk about a subject called Love - Music

purple

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.

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.
