Love Stinks
Love Stinks is the eleventh album by American rock band The J. Geils Band, released in 1980 (see 1980 in music).
The title song is a rant against unrequited love. It has been covered by industrial metal band Bile, by Andru Branch in the film Love Stinks, Joan Jett in the film Mr. Wrong and Adam Sandler in the movie The Wedding Singer.
