#Love6Music - curate an alternative love song playlist

Tom Robinson plays cupid and asks listeners to curate a love-themed playlist.

All you need is love.

Looking ahead to the most romantic week of the year (or the most depressing, depending on your circumstance), this Sunday's Now Playing (8 Feb, 6pm-8pm) is in the mood for love.

Not all love songs have to be schmaltzy and saccharin. Lionel Richie, total ledge as he is, doesn't have a monopoly on inspiring endless love. Little Stevie Wonder isn't the only dude who ever just called to say "I love you". And there are loads of people who would do anything for love, but just not 'that' (thanks, Meat Loaf).

This Sunday Tom Robinson needs YOU to curate a love-themed playlist, where the songs are alternative but the sentiment is heartfelt.

Choose any song, with an alternative flavour, which sums up the greatest indie love of all. Here are a few examples to get you started...

So get your love-inspired suggestions to Tom via the hashtag #Love6Music to help create a playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify and Rdio playlists.
