What's the Sexiest Music You Can Name?

[NashVegas]

My copy of Ella Fitzgerald's Cole Porter Songbook arrived yesterday and oh, my. I don't see how anyone could sit down with this and a lust object and not get laid. It amazes me how the soundtrack of the sexual revolution replaced combustion and mystery for rose-colored glasses and longing ("I Wanna Hold Your Hand"??? No, I think not).

What else have I been missing out on?

[salvorhardin]

1. I'll probably be lambasted for this but

I find much of The Doors stuff to be incredibly sexy, albeit in a dark sort of way. There's just something about the confluence of Ray Manzarek's organ and Jim Morrison's drugged out singing.

[NashVegas]

4. Not Too Badly

In between the existentialism there were healthy pauses for the likes of "Crystal Ship."

[salvorhardin]

9. Good call!

Perfect example of what I was thinking about. Thanks!

[livetohike]

I'm right there with you on this one!

I have to add Jimi Hendrix to this mix. :sigh:

[dbt]

24. The Doors? Erotic? Oh, HELL yes!

"I'm a spy in the House of Love.
I know the dreams that you're dreaming of.
I know the words that you long to hear,
I know your deepest secret fears."

"Moonlight Drive"
"People Are Strange"
"Love Street"
"Summer's Almost Gone"

:loveya:

28. Jim's voice is extremely sexy. n/t

[The Traveler]

2. Check out "Dead Can Dance" (n/t)

[Bertha Venation]

3. Check out Diana Krall. Oh, mmmyyyyy....

I can't listen to some of her songs without needing a change of undies. And she doesn't just have a lust-inducing voice; she is an extremely talented musician.

[BlueJazz]

5. Yep..you know your shit..sister.

Diana sings with honest conviction, honesty and with no bullshit...just talent. She also has the good sense to surround herself with dynamite players.

[bif]

8. Or Holly Cole

One of the most underrated and talented singers out there. What she can do to a ballad is incredible. Chops to burn!

[BlueJazz]

13. Damn!... There ARE people on this board that know..

..what the hell is going on...
Holly Cole IS (sadly) a under-rated singer.
Geez..I wish more folks were exposed to her.

[bif]

17. I'll take her over Diana Krall anyday

The subtle things she does to a song just blow me away. Nice to see another fan here! And how about my other favorite: Jonatha Brooke? Way underrated.

[The Spirit of JFK]

6. Being influenced in the 80's...

Roxy Music's Avalon worked wonder for me...still has recently, too. I owe one of my college girlfriends quite a bit for telling me that Avalon did it for a lot of women.

On a more classic note....Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz....both individually and together. Must be that soft sax...

[DenverDem]

7. Prince!!!!

"Soft and Wet", "Do Me, Baby". Nothing else COMES close.

I know this to be true from extensive personal research in the 80's.

[miss_kitty]

15. Erotic City....n/t

[jus_the_facts]

16. Lovesexy....Head....Get Off....Endorphine Machine....the list is endless..

[mondo joe]

10. It's gotta be this:

Ethel Merman's Disco Album.

[BlueJazz]

14. OMG!.. is that for real??

PLease tell me it's a photoshop. Not that Ethel couldn't carry a tune...I just didn't want to be in the place she set it down!

Gaaaaaaud....bless Amerrrrric-caaaaaa....:)

[mondo joe]

36. No. It's real. Ethel Merman's fabulous disco album.

[Samurai_Writer]

11. The City of Angels soundtrack...

has some seriously sexy music on it from Paula Cole, Alanis Morrisette, B.B. King, and more.

[redqueen]

22. I have that and I agree it's very sexy

dunno about sexiEST, but sexy indeed!

Especially Feeling Love.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Apparently...

...it is something meandering, atonal, and repetitive.

:evilgrin:

[Bridget Burke]

18. Astor Piazzolla's "Tango Zero Hour"

Probably the best representation of his tango nuevo.

And Tim Buckley's "Greetings from L.A."--in which the sweet-voiced folkie used a band & backup singers to create some seriously erotic music.

[NashVegas]

41. I Think

That sounds like something I'm going to have to check out.

[noonwitch]

19. Barry White or Isaac Hayes

All that bass.

[catmandu57]

20. Warren Hill

Naked, very sexy. The song, not Warren Hill, though some may find him so. Also Davis Sanborn on sax, a great mood setter.

[TrogL]

21. The Tango

Yes, it's actually a dance, but the music to go with it brings out the something or other in you.

[tigereye]

23. music from India

all that wailing... go figure.

[lapislzi]

30. The tango sequence from Moulin Rouge

makes me unbelievably hot. I don't know why; it's a song about betrayal...but damn!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

"Paradise" by Sade (nt)

[redqueen]

26. My favorite of hers is No Ordinary Love

But I think just about anything she sings is sexy... that voice!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

35. Nah. Kinda boring. "Hang On To Your Love" and "Smooth Operator" rock. YMMV

[redqueen]

38. You can't go wrong with Sade

Well, mostly you can't... some does grate but, when you're otherwise occupied ;), who cares about the small stuff?

I can't help but dig on that groove in NOO, though... gets my motor revved every time. :)

[Tyler Durden]

25. Julie London singing "My Funny Valentine."

Breathless contralto, unbelievable.

[Tyler Durden]

27. The way you look tonight

Someday when I'm awf'ly low,
And the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you loo tonight

Oh, but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows,
tearing my fear apart,
And that laugh that wrink-les your nose
touches my foolish heart.

Oh, but you're lovely, never, never change,
Keep that breathless charm,
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you,
Just the way you look tonight.

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
touches my foolish heart.

Lovely, never, never change,
Keep that breathless charm,
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you,
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.

42. I LOVE That Song

no matter who's singing it. But Frank does nicely.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

29. 'The Look of Love' as sung by Dusty Springfield.

Destroys all other songs.

[NashVegas]

43. Something About Bacharach

I never quite dug. Maybe just dressed up in too nice a package or something.

[lapislzi]

31. BIG Led Zeppelin fan here...

Black Dog really does it to me. It's raw and dirty and unbelievably erotic.

[kariatari]

32. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?

[Viking12]

33. Marvin Gaye

He takes a blatantly crass line like "Let's get it on" and makes it oh so sweet.

[SarahB]

34. I second that.

He's incredible... timeless.

[bif]

37. Toni Tenille's standards album

I think she did it with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Fantastic recording. What a sexy voice.

[OldEurope]

39. Jane Birkin: Je t´aime...moi non plus

:blush:

[GingerSnaps]

40. "That Old Black Magic"

[phillybri]

44. "Surfacing" by Sarah MacLachlan

I got a lot of ass to that CD in college...Good times!:-)

[VelmaD]

45. Tool or NIN

Great music to fuck to. :evilgrin:

[Reciprocity]

46. Anything by Van Morrison.
