Valentine's Day: Exclusionary Fake Holiday, Exclusive Music

Sure, Valentine's day is a joke but it is a stressfull joke when you are trying not to disappointment a significant other. It is silly and meaningless but even so, there are worse things to do on a day then tell somebody you love. So, to my yo yo yo: here is a really crappy Valentine's Day Playlist:

1. Baby, I Love You – The Ramones – Phil Spector producing, Ronnie Spector's seal of approval, and one of the greatest bands of all time. Pretty good? Not so fast, buster. What's with that unreally irritating stutter Joey is putting on? The album was their first stumble as well.

2. Valentine's Day – Steve Earle – Great album, good song, lousy vocal.

3. Happy Valentine's Day – Outkast – Not the first band to fall and not get up on a one hit (but what a hit!) double album. The song is a funk work out, not bad, not much else.

4. One – Aimee Mann – A break up for the change up

5. Today Was A Fairytale – Taylor Swift – Underestimated at the time, but, hey, much better than that folkie "Safe At Home" hunger games song.

6. I Got You Babe – Sonny And Cher – It's simple: you haven't been in love with a girl till you've sung this with her.

7. Somewhere Only We Know – Keane – Sure, they're a poor persons Coldplay but hey, when has money mattered. Good idea worled out by the end.

8. Fuck You're Right – E-40 – This is a really really real love songs, connecticing sex and love with a sense of awe.

9. I'm Gonna Make You Love Me Just A Little More – Barry White – I've made that promise myself.

10. You're The First, The Last, My Everything – Barry -White – Hey, it's Valentine's Day! I love that opening, those strings before he hits the verse are rushing downstairs to get to her and when they arrive their, it is Barry's voice!
