Punk Rock Love

So I was going to give a list of some awesome punk rock songs, just in time for Valentine's Day (or Vagina Day) but I found this list instead:

Top 10 Punk Love Songs for Valentine’s Day

Posted by on February 14th 2008 to Songs Tagged Anti-Valentine's Day, Punk Love Songs, Top 10 Punk Love Songs for Valentine's Day, Top 10 Punk Songs, Valentine's Day

Yes, believe it or not there IS such a thing as a punk love song.

While it might deviate from the traditional, romantic, sappy Lionel Richie-esque music you’re used to hearing on V-day, I’m a fan of the non-traditional.

For some of my recommendations for the best punk love songs for Valentine’s Day, click “Read More.”

Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments!

1. The Casualties – Punk Rock Love

Seriously, this has to be number one on the list. Why? Because it’s the freaking punk love anthem, that’s why! (Or just because I said so!)

2. The Ramones – I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Yep, it’s the quintessential punk rock love song for Valentine’s Day if you’re trying to win over that special girl.

3. MxPx – Everything Sucks When You’re Gone

So, it’s a little depressing. And kind of sad. But if you care about that special someone in your life, the message rings true.

4. Unwritten Law – My Angel Without Wings

Just read the lyrics, and you’ll totally understand why this song has to be on your uber-cool V-day song mix.

5. Social Distortion – Angel Wings

The title might be similar to Unwritten Law’s song above, but trust me – it’s totally different. It really doesn’t start getting Valentine’s Day-ish until closer to the end, but still awesome.

6. Descendents – Nothing With You

I almost forgot about this song, but it will totally work for Valentine’s Day. Especially if you’re into doing nothing with your sweetie. Yeppers.

7. Buzzcocks- Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t?)

Yeah, I cheated with this one. This song is truly more of an anti-valentine’s day song, but hey – you have to have at least ONE!

8. Bouncing Souls – Hopeless Romantic

With lyrics like “I gave you my love and if you turned away, I guess I’d be screwed…” how can you NOT consider this a totally awesome punk love song? Yep, I thought so.

9. Mae – Ready and Waiting to Fall

In my humble opinion, possibly one of the better punk rock love songs around.

10. Cheap Suits- Punk Rock Love Song

“I wanna thank you for being the love of my life.” ‘Nuff said about this track.

Compliments of News in Punk (http://www.newsinpunk.com/2008/02/top-10-punk-love-songs-for-valentines-day/)

Definitely a good beginning list but I can think of several more such as Saw Red by Sublime with Gwen Stefani, Bastard in Love by Black Flag, Like an Angel by Rise Against, and When Our Love Passed Out on the Couch by X (local band btw) all come to mind.

I will definitely have addition to make later on as I dwell on this more.

Suggestions are welcome of course.
