Kiss's ode to -- suprise -- wanton lust (complete with deceptively poignant acoustic intro) versus Costello's pitch-black, guts-spilling, vitriolic cocktail of unrequited love. Choose thine.

Note: Resist the temptation to be swayed by this admittedly ridiculous photo of Paul Stanley.

I want you to find me a photo of Paul Stanley where he doesn't look ridiculous.

"I Want You" by Elvis Costello is absolutely frightening, and thus it wins.

...i'd venture a 'pinion that Dylan's "Want" contains -- attitude wise, emotionally -- certain somethings from Kiss's "Want" as well as Costello's "Want"!

Costello's is my favorite "I Want You", followed closely by Pulp, then Basement Jaxx, Inspiral Carpets, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Third Eye Blind, The Troggs, LL Cool J, etc.
