Genius + Love = Yo La Tengo is a 2-disc album by Yo La Tengo, consisting of rarities, alternate versions, and out-takes, spanning 1988 to 1995.

The album was released on Matador in 1996; a Japanese version with two extra tracks appeared in 1998.

The title is a pun on the 1961 Ray Charles album, Genius + Soul = Jazz.

There are several cover songs, such as John Cale's "Hanky Panky Nohow", The Velvet Underground's "I'm Set Free", Beat Happening's "Cast a Shadow", and Wire's "Too Late".

Included are songs previously recorded by the group (such as an 8-second drum solo), and covers, such as the Urinals' "Surfin' with the Shah," and a wedding-band-like rendition of the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop."
