I think I love you, Valentine.
I seriously contemplated Wilco's Reservations for best love song, but Jay edges out Jeff for me in that category.
Also in the running: If I Should Fall Behind - Bruce
LOVE. Also, I love his newer stuff that nobody but me listened to. I cannot workout without Fastlove on my playlist.
"This ribbon has been reported." - lovesnina
I'm LOLing that he picked it as Best Love Song.
Growing up, I was the nerd friend with the tricked out computer and the CD burner, so for 50 cents I'd burn people CDs full of (mostly pirated) music.
Every time I'd slip "I'm never gonna dance again" somewhere into the playlist for them to discover while listening.
You have great taste in music
And speaking of Wilco, my husand got me tickets to their Chicago show this past winter for a Christmas present. They are that wonderful, rare band that you listen to & love, then turn up to their live show & it turns out they are 10x better in person. I'm a serious groupie now.

Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men
At the risk of being that person, I haven't really liked their last several albums. And the last time I saw them live, they kind of bored me. They also ended with a song that I HATE, and I may or may not have been drunk and may or may not have booed. Loudly. I may or may not have made my husband ashamed to be seen with me.
YHF was their last great album.
Their tickets have gotten too expensive for me. I just don't like them enough to pay 30 bucks a pop.
Sorry to Glee this thread up, but there is an acapella group called Straight No Chaser and they do a cover of this song that is amazing. I hated the song before I saw them do it live last year and now I don't even mind the Coldplay version.
Oh yes, their tickets are outrageous. Did I mention it was my ONLY Christmas present? LOL.
YHF is their opus, which kind of sucks b/c any album after can't really measure up. I did really, really start to like A Ghost is Born, it just took about a year of listening to it until I got it.
I've only seen them the one time & they were so fantastic. Maybe being home in the Chi-town inspired them to greatness?
"This ribbon has been reported." - lovesnina
I saw them in Chicago in...err...2005? 2006? It was OK. Good show. Not mind-blowing.
I honestly think it's just a subjective opinion. I have friends who saw them on the same tour (same show, even) and thought it was ahhh-mazing. I was like, "Eh. Good."
