I would prefer “Playground Love” off their soundtrack for “The Virgin Suicides.”

As far as getting-it-on music, I like Maxwell’s _Urban Hang Suite_ album.

One currently popular song that does it for me is “Gangsta Luv” by Snoop Dogg and The Dream. Something about the guy breathing heavily in the background while Snoop raps…

It’s like “True Blood”  
I sink my teeth in

I’ll add one that I just heard yesterday: “Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off” by Panic at the Disco.

His voice is so low and intimate, and when he says “I’ve got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck”, and “Am I who you think about in bed?”…Yumminess.

Ooh, good call.

I forgot my husband’s favourite steamy song - [En Vogue, “Don’t Let Go (Love)”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpBCHE1Pbss). _You’ve got the right to lose control._

That one’s great too. Still wishing I could find someone worth playing it for… :o

There are songs about sex then there’s sexy voices.

Stevie Nicks come to mind, it’s that very slight lisp in her voice as well as her image.

The “growl” of Alison Moyet.

Chrissie Hynde - soft yet strong

## and yes the other worldly beauty of Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) Like an Angel on Heat…

Funny – although Stevie was gorgeous, I never cared that much for her voice.

Christine McVie, on the other hand – I ALWAYS wanted to make her feel better…

[Heartbeats](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUGyFYUlquo) by the Knife always does it for me. I don’t know why.

Jose Gonzalez, who did the awesome cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”, also does a killer cover of this song.

DJ Shadow’s **Endtroducing…** is the ultimate spend a day locked in sexing album for me.

“Come Undone” Duran Duran has been my classic groin song. When I finally had sex to it, I felt like my life had become a little more complete.

Rebel Yell. Billy Idol. This is a recent development, I have absolutely no idea why, and I’m slightly embarrassed to admit it.

A little late to the party, sorry! Kinda surprised no one mentioned Barry White, unless I missed it. He seems to be sorta the default setting for alot of people, mostly women, I guess.  
Was going to mention Stevie Wonder’s “Do I Do” for the sheer, ecstatic, life affirming, lets-have-sex joy of the lyrics & groove of it. 😛

“Whole Lotta Love” - Led Zeppelin. God, Robert Plant was pure sex back in the day.

_Right Hand Man_ and _Ladder_ by Joan Osborne.

And yeah, _Magic Man_ from Heart - that wailing guitar just slides right down the spine to the gonads.

For romance, _Come Away With Me_ by Norah Jones, _Romeo and Juliet_ by Dire Straits, _I Don’t Know How To Love Him_ by Yvonne Elliman, and _Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again_ by the immortal Kristofferson. What can I say? I’m a child of the '70’s.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. Stevie was just too freakin’ ethereal for me. Christine sounded like a real woman, not a Celtic ghost.

…Soft As Snow But Warm Inside, Thorn and Only Shallow. 🙂

Other noted knicker-looseners back in the day included the first two Massive Attack albums _Blue Lines_ and _Protection_, The Cocteau Twins _Treasure_ and _Head Over Heels_, Cowboy Junkies _Trinity Sessions_, Tricky _Maxinquaye_, Portishead _Dummy_, The Fall _Perverted by Language_ and Mazzy Star _So Tonight That I might See_.

One of the above albums is utterly useless for seduction purposes and is included as a test.
