Rock Love is a half live / half (sixth) studio album by American rock band Steve Miller Band. The album was released in September 1971, and compiled by Capitol Records. All of Miller's previous backing band had left following the recording of the previous album, save bassist Bobby Winkelman. They were replaced by members of Winkelman's previous group, the psychedelic rock band Frumious Bandersnatch for this record, including Ross Valory (a future member of Journey) on bass, and Jack King on drums. Bobby Winkelman was in the band (having moved back to rhythm guitar) during the live recordings on the album's first side, but is not credited on the album cover. David Denny, who later joined the band in 1976, is a guest guitarist (again, not credited) on "Blues Without Blame".
The album consists of three blues-rock tracks recorded live, including lengthy jam-style "Love Shock" which lasts nearly 12 minutes and includes an extensive drum solo, and four studio tracks. The first song starts with the words "I'm going to play you some blues 'cos I know you like that", but some critics disagreed, criticising the album's songs as "generic white-boy blueisms". Unlike Miller's previous five albums, this album was a commercial failure.[1]
I'm currently in the process of compiling a Spotify playlist for my wedding that consists of love songs in the rock genre. This includes songs ranging from soft rock/alternative to hard rock and metal, as well as a few classic rock songs. I've searched the sub for suggestions and have been going through Spotify playlists for rock love songs that are not about: (1) losing a loved one; (2) pining for someone they can't have (eg. already being in another relationship); (3) broken relationships; and (4) generally depressing songs. There have been a few exceptions due to lyric interpretations.
Our Rock and Roll Love Blueprint celebrates over 1400 musicians, artists, songwriters and producers who have been pivotal to the evolution of the sprawling genre that is rock music. From the early debt owed to blues, gospel, jazz and country performers like Ma Rainey, Lead Belly, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Woody Guthrie who paved the way for rock and roll pioneers like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis who in turn inspired a generation including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Velvet Underground and continue to inspire musicians today like The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys and St Vincent. The print pays homage to the music and artists that laid the foundation for rock and roll, including Memphis and Delta blues (W.C. Handy, Memphis Minnie, Lead Belly, Robert Johnson), gospel (Sister Rosetta Tharpe), country (Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family), folk (Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger), boogie-woogie (Fats Domino), Chicago blues (Muddy Waters, B. B. King), doo-wop (The Drifters, The Teenagers) and jump blues (Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris). The print then weaves through the pioneers of early rock and roll (Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers), the 50's stars shaping youth culture (Bill Haley & His Comets, Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran), skiffle (Lonnie Donegan), and the subsequent British invasion (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield).

In the years that followed, people continued to paddle out to the rock, adding their graffiti. The big block letters spelling out LOVE remained the most visible message on the slab...and the name stuck.
There was a time when every hard rock band had at least one song about love, and usually much more than that. Of course, the world was a different place back then. The classics will always have a place in the hearts of fans from past generations, but what about those who are looking to discover more modern hard rock love songs?
My voice is male; it sounds male. I don't like that. I have a love-hate with my voice. I'm misgendered constantly if people don't see me; that takes a toll, but I get through it. If I had had access to hormone blockers, that wouldn't be the case. This is so important. This option is so important. If we can get back on track and move forward, I am from a generation who may be disappearing because I have to go through surgeries and all kinds of things to back up what puberty that I did not want did to my body.
Heather was known for her big '80s rockstar hair and getting Bret's name tattooed on her neck. She was deemed one of the most intimidating women in the house and would do anything to stay in front of the competition. After Rock of Love, Heather continued on reality television, appearing on the VH1 competition show I Love Money and Charm School. Heather has settled in Southern California as a luxury realtor. Her Instagram shows the properties she is currently selling. Heather also does some modeling and life coaching.
Lacey Conner was the villain of Rock of Love season 1. Lacey was one of the more combative personalities on the show but still connected with Brett. After finishing third on the show, Lacey had a successful music career. She now hosts the Talk of Love podcast, where she interviews other contestants of reality dating shows that people have forgotten about. Lacey looks back on her time on the show in a positive light and has continued her love of animals by opening an animal rescue.
Samantha Weisburg instantly connected with Bret on the show over their love of music and tattoos. Samantha was one of the more introverted girls and kept herself secluded from the other girls who liked to party in the house. Samantha struggled with the reality of the lives of musicians, and it put a wedge between her and Bret. According to her Instagram, Samantha has become an English teacher and writer since leaving the show. She uses her platform to share her poetry and encourage social change. She has remained out of the public eye since her time in Rock of Love.
Kristia Krueger was one-half of the Barbie Twins in the house. She was a part of the "bad girl" group and became friends with Brandi C. Kristia was one of the girls who only connected with Bret briefly and was sent home early in the competition. After the show, Kristia went on to marry and ditched her rocker girl look. She works as a model, wedding videographer, and photographer.
Ever since Princess and the Frog came out ten years ago, Tiana has been my favorite Disney princess. I love RockLove jewelry, who makes a lot of Disney and Star Wars pieces (among other fandoms). Having owned a few RockLove pieces already, you can imagine I GASPED when I saw there was now a RockLove Princess and the Frog collection!
Besides being believable, two other things make this song great. One: A song about a girl, by a guy, that praises that girl entirely for her personality traits is a rare and beautiful thing. Two: People talk (and sing) about falling headlong in love all the time, but this song, with its double-time rave ups, comes a lot closer to sounding the way that actually feels than any mid-tempo treatment of the subject.
Of course it was oikish and it was never a straight love song and more of a piss take of the form but sung with such a debonair gusto by lead vampire Dave Vanian that it almost becomes a love song by default.
This is the archetype punk love song. A song of filth, degradation and very dark matters. The fact that the Pauline in the song actually existed makes it an even darker four minutes of filth from a band who actually seemed like young innocents shocked and disgusted with the world instead of reveling in its dark nature as their myth portrays. An establishment that was calling them antichrists was far more filthy and disgusting than they could even imagine at the time.
A classic rock n roll love song and one of the few straight love songs in the Clash canyon. The band we too busy trying to change the world and oddly for a group so steeped in romanticism they had few songs of love and and more songs of fury but then that was the times, a time of heavy manners and other business.
Heart breaking. Joey Ramone always had the heartbreak voice of a singer who sang with tears in his eyes, the Ramones were the easiest band in the world to copy thats why they set the punk template hut the one bit no one could ever copy was Joeys voice- one of the perfect pop voices and here in the middle of Dee Dee Ramones bubblegum war fantasies and manic vignettes of madness Joey writes one of his songs of pure love and he means every damn word.
Thunders. Is one of tock n roll great tragedies..his whole epitaph is too much junkie business but he too was steeped in rock n roll romanticism and when he turned his mind to the real beau beyond the druggy mire he could write a real knock out love song like on this one of the great love songs a wistful song of loss and desire.
Poignant love song from across the barricades as the Stiff Little Fingers sang of love across the divide in their then divided home town of Belfast full of the imagery of the times without ever getting too heavy handed and delivered with Jake Burns great raucous voice.
If that sounds like an academic discussion of an abstract feeling called love then it probably is but then that was the beauty of Wire- they could do the dry academic stuff but somehow also infused it with a passion that was at odds with their college professor image.
In this episode, Zander is writing a love song, but won't let anyone see the lyrics until he's done. Kacey and Stevie are eager to know the songs meaning, so they sneak a peek and find out it's a love song. Each of them then becomes convinced that they are Zander's secret crush. Meanwhile, Kevin and Nelson accidentally break Kevin's drums while on a zip line and try to figure out a way to raise money to replace it.
