Wow - too many to mention. Here’s a short list: Prince - pretty much anything - but for slow love, How Come you Don’t Call me Anymore Massive Attack - Protection If you haven’t heard William Orbit’s Strange Cargo series of CDs, you’re really missing out - he produced Madonna’s Ray of Light CD and has amazing rhythms Morphine, You Look Like Rain, off their first album, Good. Sexiest damn song anywhere - great way to get into a woman’s mind and her body… Marvin Gaye is truly amazing - Let’s Get it On, even What’s Going On But the sexiest CD for me, ever, is Kind of Blue by Miles Davis… ---

I tried to throw out Depeche Mode’s **Violator** earlier, but I got a “Page Not Responding” Error. Nice to know others have thrown it out there for me! ---

Sophie B. Hawkins…pretty much everything, ranging from fun to intimate to monkey monkey/kinky NIN (Pretty Hate Machine), PJ Harvey (To Bring You My Love), soundtrack from “Escape to LA” romantic/intimate Indigo Girls, Sarah McClachlan (Fumbling) Definitely going to be looking into Gabriel’s Passion soon, though 🙂 ---

Anything by John Philip Sousa. Getting a Sousa hummer is one of my life’s goals. Anything by Spike Jones, Frank Zappa’s wackier songs, the Beatles’ and Jimi Hendrix’s most incomprehensible psychedelic numbers, and some Devo on the side. ---
