Okay. Settle an argument for me because SOMEONE has messed up taste.

Would you consider this to be a love song?

Radiohead - Creep

Just don't ask me why.

ETA: what is your favourite love song?

It is, it's just a non-traditional viewpoint on love compared to other love songs.

Maybe this would be more up your alley then.

It's not supposed to be romantic
It's about loving someone but not thinking you're good enough for them.
It wasn't even the main love song.

That's not what love songs should sound like.

What are you considering a love song?

It's a song about love, but it isn't exactly something you'd want to confess with.

It's not a love song in the slightest.

A surface, superficial reading of the lyrics may indicate as much, but the song depicts a man so aware of his own pathetic nature and envy of a more "special" and "perfect" person they're attracted to that they ultimately realize what they are, but only through their personal lens. It is a song about failure, not about love.
