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.
Well thank you! While reading this thread I was listening to my recording of *Is There Anybody Out There tour of 1980-81. Before the song, Waters yells “this is for all the paranoids in the audience! this is for all the weak!” Then the guitar starts…I start tapping my foot…and it all became so clear.
Good thing I wasn’t there. I would have been pissed.
Yeah, that would work. Except that I can’t get the picture of the plague rat out of my mind every time I hear that song <s>.
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.
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…
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).
