And the rest of the top 10 filled up with other songs off Singles Going Steady!

"Punk Rock Love" by The Magnetic Fields even though it ain't punk rock.

53. The Only Ones "Another Girl, Another Planet"

"I'm the One" was already mentioned, so the next one should be 53.

btw, just because the girl in question is a "skinhead" does not make that piece of crap song punk rock (any more than Magnetic Fields are punk rock. Everyone knows they are R&B!!)

And I got love for both bands, but jeez...

Like I said, the count's off, so:

46. Beat Happening, "Bewitched" (and I'd argue this is punk)

45. She's No Angel by The Boys
44. I Won't Fall In Love Today by Suicidal Tendencies

43. Perfect Example by Husker Du

42. Johnny Thunders - "I LOVE YOU"

37. Husker Du, "Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill"

36. Misfits, Last Caress

37. Husker Du, "Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill"

not a love song... (great tho!!)

It's really a bit more about...

http://bottomshelfliquor.com/vodka/heavenhill.jpg

I get a kick out of you.

hey, I didn't mean to kill this thread! I thought it was fun!

(that really is what the song is about though). I don't think Hüsker are exactly famous for writing love songs about "girls"...

Love songs needn't be gender specific.

I just meant songs can be about both alcohol/drugs and other things equally, like D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar."

Now I'm just blanking on punk love songs.

35. Angelf*ck by the Misfits

Surely anything by Milky Wimpshake, seeing as their self-description is 'love songs for punk rockers', right?

34? Mekons - Where were you?

33. Jawbreaker - Chesterfield King

Love songs needn't be gender specific.

understood, but my point is that isn't a love song.

32. Monosyllabic Girl by NOFX

31. Boobarella- The Queers

xpost - that Husker Du song completely ruined for me. Cheers!

31. Pansy Division, "Bunnies"

that Husker Du song completely ruined for me. Cheers!

oh, the drama!

Why would you let some random person on the internet ruin a song you love anyway?! How do you know that I even know what the hell I am talking about?

It's still a great song! It contains all of the same longing and emotions as a love song anyway... relax!

Def Leppard, "Me and My Wine"
