how to fix this article?

i dont even know where to begin to fix this article.. anyone have any suggestions? it seems to be too personal

Typology

It would be good to collect examples of love songs according to theme: proposal (I wanna be your lover, baby), impossible love (born too late), come back (Baby, come back), death (leader of the pack) etcPliny 21:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awful

This article is totally unprofessional when it talks about "tribal cultures," "the western world," and what "most people would identify with." Ick.

There are very few "real" love songs

Love is not a feeling. Is something you do to help or support someone. Those things you do for the person you love. I only know three love songs. Other are about physical attraction, not love.--Fluence 02:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Breakup song

Just to say, "Breakup song" now redirects here. Perhaps worth expanding on that subject; there are lots of books about this stuff, if anyone really feels like working on it. Chubbles 06:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a new article for "Heartbreak song" rather than "Potential Breakup song". I agree that they should be classed as different. This article is now little more than a list, but still an improvement on the perfunctory mess that it was before. Ogg (talk) 19:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bad article

okay i just snipped out "Explicit love songs have never been commercially successful. However it is usually possibly to use ambiguities to make a song suggestive. "Tainted Love" (Soft Cell) is perhaps the best known example." as it is just not true at all. but now reading more of the article, and i could basically delete half of it. i don't really care enough to rewrite/cite the whole thing, but yeesh. --dan (talk) 05:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where did this come from?

The "famous love songs" seem to be of the authors choosing. There is no proof that any of the music listed was the most famous love song of its era, or if there is it's not cited.

"the best love song of all time is bended knees" Okay, punctuation aside, where the hell did this come from? This is quite obviously extremely biased. There is no "best love song". Music is subjective.

The author seems to have just picked songs that he/she liked and listed them as the most famous of the period. —porkman385(talk) 06:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
