Great. Now I’m horny after imagining making love to all of this music… (have to imagine it, since I’ve never made love to music in RL…_sigh_) FTR, I’m with MadPoet on Dead Can Dance, and I’d agree on “Crush” and “Crash” by Dave Matthews. I’d also add “41”, “34”, “Say Goodbye” and “Lover Lay Down” by DMB. ---

Isn’t that cheating, listening to music during sex? You know like fanatizing of someone when having sex… ---

Old 97s and their album Fight Songs has given me much quality nookie. ---

Something a little off-beat but strangely effective. Try the soundtrack to The Power Of One. The African chanting is incredible in the throes of passion. Maybe it’s something primal… ---

We did an informal poll about this on the train from Paris…I think we decided on a compilation of “Greatest Love Songs According to People in Paris Without Their Boyfriends.” I’m with pepper on “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin, myself…ooh, okay - as well as with all those who said “Crash” by Dave Matthews Band. Also: “Uninvited” by Alanis Morisette “Mysterious Ways” by U2 “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain “Groovy Kind of Love” by Phil Collins/Genesis “To Make You Feel My Love” by Garth Brooks ---

Dead Can Dance is definitely on my list…lots of Pink Floyd…Loreena McKennet’s _Book of Secrets_ album…“Take My Breath Away” always shows up on my MTMLT discs…and “Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits. Most of those have already been mentioned–you people have good taste! Don’t mind me, I’m busy fantasizing now… ---

Any good Swedish drum and bass. Method one and Kaos, though from SF, put out some really good atmospheric stuff too. 4Hero’s later stuff is good too. ---

Stabbing Westward’s “Save Yourself”…um, nevermind 🙂 Personally, I can’t agree w/ Al Green and others of that ilk; they’re more romantic just singing than I could ever be in real life. Kinda makes you feel pathetic. Van Morrison is good, especially if the girl actually DOES have brown eyes. And Jimmy Cliff, of course (except for “Many Rivers to Cross” cause that one is just too good and sad, you have to listen to it–a wee bit distracting).
