Depends on the mood. If we feel like f\*\*\*ing, then it’s heavy metal.

If we’re making love, something classical. I personally like the theme from ‘Somewhere in Time’, but I can’t think of the name of it right now.

Well it _was_ Afternoon Delight, until Arrested Development ruined that.

I’ve always wanted to try Push It by Salt n Pepa, but I know I’d end up laughing too much to finish.

If there is music on, it’s usually low enough that I can’t really tell what it is, nor do I care one tiny bit.

I don’t listen to music specifically but the thread title reminded me of LL Cool J’s Doin’ It (and doin’ it and doin’ it well).

One thing you should NOT listen to is a comedy album. Believe me.

It’s a piece by Rachmaninov:

The _Days of Future Past_ album by The Moody Blues. It keeps me going all night long.

I recommend timing your climax(es) to coincide with that of “Nights in White Satin.” 😉

On occasion, “Sour Times”

Sometimes, either the cable company music channels or whichever Viacom station it is that still has videos.
