Love Agenda is the second album by Band of Susans, released in 1989. Page Hamilton, later much more famous than any of the band's core members because of his work as frontman for Helmet, plays guitar on this album and some of the subsequent "Peel Sessions" that followed the tour to support it. He also sings the lead vocal on the second track "It's Locked Away".

Despite his reputation as an avant-garde musician, Poss was a big fan of the Rolling Stones and CD versions of Love Agenda feature a cover of "Child of the Moon".

Susan Stenger sings her first lead vocals with Band of Susans on "Birthmark" and "Hard Light".
