Top 10 Sexiest Albums of All Time

I fucked up.

Greetings From L.A. is a bit ugly.

Dual #1's. Let's Get it On and Al Green's Greatest Hits. Obviously. They should be in every bedroom that has a device that plays music. There is room on top for both.

3. Marvin Gaye, I Want You: The next most sexy Marvin album. By the instrumental "After the Dance" the clothes should start to come off if they aren't already.

4. Ann Peebles, Straight from the Heart: Simply beautiful.

5. John Coltrane w/Johnny Hartman, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman: Only if I could live in a Neutra, it would improve this perfect album. "Oh, you spilled your Belvedere, heart. Let me get you another one."

6. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin, S/T: Tasteful Baroque Smut.

7. Tim Buckley, Greetings from L.A.: Side one only. It oozes sultry, passionate, tttttt-tongue-speaking sex.

8. Portishead, Dummy: Do I even need to explain? Every Beth Gibbons fan who owns it has copulated to it.

9. My Bloody Valentine, Loveless: It's the old girlfriend/boyfriend you have sex with years later to learn new things.

10. Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline: Lay, Lady, Lay.

AEKDB

Moore

Well does it get better than this?

Although who was it that said he gets a stiffy from Sigur Ros? Cause I'm with him.

still baffled by the oasis nod upthread. there's a bold, honourable attempt at providing an explanation, but the reasoning just confuses me even more.

it's two strong, powerful, energetic men going at it fervently - what's not to understand?

haha well i do see a bizarre, convoluted metaphor, which likens the will, strength of mind and independence (??) of the gallagher brothers to a form of sexual expression. but jesus even if this metaphor holds up, who's gonna apply it to their own sex life.

'i want you' is the only record up there i would put on a list for this purpose

i dont know how anyone can have sex to 'lets get it on'. its like so far beyond cliche at this pt

10. Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline: Lay, Lady, Lay.

I cannot imagine any Bob Dylan album being described as "sexy."

Meshell Ndegeocello - Comfort Woman

She has one of the sexiest voices ever, and most of this album is pretty much in the tempo of sex (slow, but not too slow), plus those deeeep dubby basslines!

Also, there's a "cosmic consciousness" theme running throughout the lyrics - great for some dirty hippy sex!

CH - haha I was being facetious! but your breakdown is far more lucid than the original post up top

haha dude. if only the guy up top was being facetious as well!

Loveless is many, many things, but I've never considered it especially sexy.

The "Feed Me With Your Kiss" and "You Made Me Realize" EPs are sexier

Roxy Music, Avalon is good for all lead up and foreplay, leaving the main event to proper absence of music

Or anything by Lydia Lunch

Speaking as a female lover choosing the blatantly obvious is wrong. Suggestive sex songs are good for... well, suggesting sexual activity but playing them for actual sex ruins the mood completely (that is unless you perceive yourself as some sort of pornstar on parole).
A few weeks ago I was foreplaying with my lover when suddenly 'inertia creeps' started playing at random in the background and instead of enhancing the moment (like it should, since it's a really sexy song) we both started feeling oddly uncomfortable with the music.
Specially odd since the song before was 'be good to them always' by the books which is most definitely not a sexy song.

I'm female as well, and had a perfectly enjoyable time getting it on a car to "Bend Over I'll Drive" by the Cramps

Wait, we're not talking about albums to actually have sex to?

Because that would be like...

or

or even (I know this is a weird one, but it always worked for me)

SEXY albums, though, would be like...

(Koray's voice when he sings Cemalim just makes me wet every time)

or, like...

I don't think I've ever heard a "sexy" album in my life, to be honest

i prefer not to have music on when having sex (no music and the lights on, take it to tmi, i know!) but if i must I prefer something really blatantly sexual, generally some soul like Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass etc.

basically soul and r'n'b slow jamz.

Seriously, I could not have sex to "some soul like Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass etc."

I would just burst out laughing and be unable to take my partner seriously. WHich would be way too distracting.

not an activity i take particularly seriously i must admit.

Gaye pretty much stole most of the material for I Want You from Ware, who then produced this, which I think is even better.

This got a lot of play back in the day. http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3388&Itemid=26

On a similar note, the cliche album-to-fuck-to if you went to college in the 90s = Dummy

"...instead of enhancing the moment (like it should, since it's a really sexy song) we both started feeling oddly uncomfortable with the music."

I think it just means subconsciously you're uncomfortable with each other and probably shouldn't be having sex! If the chemistry is good enough and there are no reservations/hesitations, no music is gonna ruin the moment.

Case in point:

It's been done! But I prefer this:
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/ab/19/64d292c008a0330f1c945010.L.jpg

Well that album does speed up and slow down quite a lot!

no music is gonna ruin the moment.

Some Blowfly in the mix is good for comedy relief too.

I would add Massive Attack too just to be completist. Esp. British people, in my experience. Lots of having sex to Massive Attack.

personally, my favorite sex muzak record is Etant Donnes' "Bleu" or "Royaume" (amazing layered sound collages made by two hunky French brothers who whisper poetic things on top of field recordings of weather and church bells, a sort of Mystic Moods Orchestra goes gothic industrial dark ambient noise kinda thing). Works every time!

If you went to college in the 80's, it was Avalon by Roxy Music and or Diamond Life by Sade

Or a few Terence Trent D'Arby songs (e.g., Sign Your Name)

Christ, I worry about people that put on Let's Get It On to get it on. It's so obvious—it just seems like what a hypothetical German would lay on the turn-table before commencing efficient and punctual intercourse.

But what do I know? I can't fuck to Prince. Well, at least not any Prince where he's trying to be sexy. Bat Dance, maybe.

I have actually bursted out in laughter when something like this plays while were having sex. And while it doesn't work for me in bedtime I found out is just the kind of perfect music to play the morning after, while having breakfast specially on a lazy sunday.

Also for the note: Curtis Mayfield > Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass etc.

I don't think so, we have quite a good chemistry. we've been lovers for years now and we're pretty much good at it. In fact my only complaint is I wish we could live together already so we could have more sex. That said, this isn't the only time it has happened to me. In previous relationships we've had this problem as well. It's not the sex music which matters, by that moment you're too into it that you don't care what's happening, for me it's the music playing in the foreplay. Having something blatantly obvious feels somewhat harrasing.

I've had sex while listening to trash metal and it is in fact good sex music, but if you really think there isn't any kind of music that could ruin the moment you're just a theorist.

i disagree w/ the notion that ALL marvin gaye (or isaac or barry or teddy) is off limits, are u ppl monsters??

its just the cliche shit that is corny, not the singers ... 'i want you' is so perfectly there-but-not-there in a way 'lets get it on' could never be

& while i love the leon ware record & give dude credit for basically creating 'i want you,' gaye is 1000x the singer ware is
