Well, it’s a little late, but…
All is full of love, by Bjork.
Hehe-
The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Billy, Ella, Nina. Oh, cold shower-quick!
Just checking in to see if anyone has mentioned Ravel’s Bolero. I’ve never actually tested it, but someone once mentioned to me that it would make good sex music and I tend to agree. (Although it might come off a little cheesy. On the other hand, is there any music that isn’t cheesy when played during sex?)
For songs,
World in My Eyes, Depeche Mode
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
Dancing Barefoot, U2 or Patty Smith
The Chauffeur, Duran Duran
Lay it Down, Ratt (just for those metal nights…)
For albums…
Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me, The Cure
Violator, Depeche Mode
Happiness, The Beloved
Passion, Peter Gabriel
Floodland, Sisters of Mercy
Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, Frankie Goes to Hollywood
and a second for Bloody Kisses, Type O Negative. Hot.
Oooo… I second World in my Eyes.
Put down a #3 for “World in my Eyes”.
I’ll just second Violator and have done with. Cassandra Wilson’s New Moon Daughter is also enjoyable. Love her voice.
Yup. We also had a much smaller list, Fast Songs to Have Sex To (Mudshark and I are all about lists). So in addition to those, I’ll say:
Tell Me You Love Me - Frank Zappa
and
Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane
I’m still a virgin but when the time comes i’ll put on The Beautiful People by Marylin Manson.
john cage – 4’33"
She’s Waiting - Eric Clapton For the beat, not the lyrics.
And #1 Crush - Garbage
Actually Bolero is SUPPOSED to represent a sexual encounter.
Papito, by Manu Chao.
SlickRoenick - don’t hurt anybody when you do it to MM’s Beautiful People
Seconding these that were already mentioned:
Crazy on You (only if the woman puts it on)
Dark Side of the Moon - 'nuff said.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Once again, 'nuff said.
Carmina Burana - Oh Fortuna! Awesome. (Robert Shaw conducting with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra & Chorus)
The first Enigma CD. It was the Barry White of my college days.
Bolero. Yes, I have. It was cool.
Ones I suggest. I get into classical / contemplative space music (for that sort of thing), so…
Any episode of Echoes or Music From the Hearts of Space on NPR. Check your local listings.
The original Star Wars score. Once again, yes, I have. A fantasy come true. Call me a Geek. At least it wasn’t Star Trek. WARNING - Do NOT do it to Empire or Return of the Jedi. Yoda’s theme will kill it INSTANTANEOUSLY!!!
The Division Bell - Pink Floyd. Pretty cool. Really not for the lyrics on that one, but the music.
Oh, and anything that happens to be on at the time.
