Ugh. I loathe lovesongs!I like songs that deal with isolation of sorts ... Homelessness, rejection, break ups. Quite dark, so I balance it with sort of more weighted songs - political, environmental and general wellbeing songs.Remainder - Rites of Spring and Handlebars - Flobots are good examples!FINALLY, I suppose I like songs that can take the piss of themselves and anything else come to think of it.

I hate romantic love songs. Or songs where they are singing about a girl or guy by name. I tend to like sad, sort of depressing songs.(Pink Floyd - Is there Anybody Out There, Hey You) I agree with the people who said songs about identity and introspection (The Who-Behind Blue Eyes and most of their songs). I also like fantasy songs (Led Zepplin) I like a lot of the lyrics of the Beatles because a lot of their songs have just one or two really memorable lines that are meaningful on different levels, like you can take them at face value or you can read more meaning into them. I also like songs where the lyrics don't always make total sense, but you can fill in the blanks. They just have a certain feel, like Round Here. I also like clever lyrics like something by the Cure.
