The entirety of Roxy Music’s Avalon was the default option during my college days (twenty f-in years ago now, that was).
Yeah. Am I the only one who thinks that their cover of Jealous Guy is better than the original?
Anyway, as to the OP, if you really want to get a guy in the mood: Theme From “Shaft”.
I would add:
Secret Rendezvous by Karyn White
Sign Your Name by Terrence Trent D’Arby
Delicate by Terrence Trent D’Arby
Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Gawd! I feel so OLD! I don’t recognize any of the names posted so far. But if you want to set a romantic mood, almost anything by Johnny Mathis in the ‘50s is just right. Add Al Hibler singing “I’ve Got It Bad (and that ain’t good)” with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and an album of Sarah Vaughan’s silky voice and you could keep me going for, oh, ten, fifteen minutes easy. I TOLD you I wuz old.
Cry?!?
Anti-mood setting in my opinion. Breakup songs don’t usually make for good mood setters.
You don’t know how to set the mood, you don’t know…You don’t know how to set the mood!
Now, for me, that was the only song I could sing to my son when he was a baby to make him stop crying. To me it will always be a lullaby.
