If you were told "pick one album to explain what being in love is"...

[CharlesB]

...what would it be?

for me it'd have to be this gem

 

[Brad Bowers]

I don't even have to think about this choice:

Sinatra's "Songs for Swingin' Lovers"

Brad

 

[deadpandiva]

The Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs Vol.1

 

[CharlesB]

The Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs Vol.1

loooooooooooooooooove the Fields

 

[Samsa]

Can't think of a single album, unless it's a themed one like Songs for Young Lovers or Songs for Swingin' Lovers. As much as I like those albums, though, I cannot say that they represent (for me) what it's like to be in love. Songs, however...that's an entirely different story.

Either Grace by Jeff Buckley or O by Damien Rice. [huh] Not typical, not lovey-dovey, but run the length and width of all the emotions that word brings to mind for me.

When I was a younger single guy this was the one that I put on to seal the deal. Pretty much runs the whole gambit of emotions, and I'm not even a fan of hers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/im...ie=UTF8&n=5174&s=music&qid=1202519912&sr=1-54

Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes, no question.

On a somewhat unrelated note, it's nice to see other Magnetic Fields fans here. Stephin Merritt is my favorite current songwriter.

 

[BAZ]

Carmina Burana, Carl Orff

 

[Dixon Cannon]

First choice....

LOVE SONGS ... the Beatles.

[CharlesB]

oh goodness. my apologies. nevermind then.

 

[pgoat]

This is a tough one.

The one that immediately springs to my mind is the John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman LP from the early sixties. A cliche, I guess, but if you wanna go the class route, throw this on, dim the lights, make with some candles and good wine and if nothing happens, nothing ain't ever gonna happen, baby!

But I could see a lot of Beatles LPs, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Buck Owens, Billie Holiday and Buddy Holly doing it as well.....

[MrNewportCustom]

Almost everything by Micheal Franks.

After you've broken up with someone, and don't want them back, Dwight Yoakam's, Ain't That Lonely Yet.

For me it has to be Mirah's You Think it's Like This but Really It's Like This.

I think I listened to the song "Sweepstakes Prize" about 500x a day when I was first falling in love with my boyfriend. The whole album sums up my feelings for him.
