Okay, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. What's the best album to have playing in the car on a date? What's the best make-out music? What's your favorite love song? I've got some ideas, but I'll post them after I've heard a few replies.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Barry White!! I'm telling you, you CAN NOT go wrong with this guy! [Cool]

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

DJ Sammy's "Heaven", the slow version. It was the first song that Bernard and I danced to.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

That's so cute. I love that song. (can get an A on it in DDRMAX2)

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

I will only make love to Wish You Were Here.

Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

Weird. You'd think Frisco could get his left hand in the mood without music setting the scene.

Travelling Without Moving (Jamiroquai) contains some sexcellent material, as does Becoming X (Sneaker Pimps). [Smile]

Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :

then, of course, there's the NIN classic, "Closer"

Posted by Wussy Actor (Member # 5937) on :

It doesn't do much for me, but I had a girlfriend who always wanted Harry Connick Jr. playing in the background.

Maybe it was so she could picture him instead of me.

Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :

R Kelly's "Ignition", the original not the remix.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Yanni's "Love Songs" album. (There are no words, it is just instrumental) but it is SO romantic...

edit: Although I would also have to agree with Valentine on the Barry White -- his voice just melts a woman.

"Sexual Healing"

"Rock your body" by Justin Timberlake.

But these are only good if you want a nice, tranquilly romantic evening.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

I'm always a big fan of U2, but I think my favorite love song is "Yellow" by Coldplay.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Steely Dan, most definitely.

[Big Grin]

This is why TAK is one of my favourite jatraqueros.

(Here's my classical music buff point of view.)

It all depends on what he/she likes. [Smile]

If she's like Cher in Moonstruck, you need some Puccini in the background with one of the many beautiful Tenor/soprano love duets.

If she's old fashioned, the adagio movements to some symphonies are perfect. Violins are also killingly romantic!!

Meditation from Thais by Massenet is amazing and will melt any woman.

Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony is one of the sexiest movements ever written by ANYONE.

Debussy and Ravel also wrote some stuff that's sensual and perfect for a romantic evening in or out.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

Orgy. The first cd. Seriously.

Which reminds me...I have five weeks to make the perfect makeout mix...*plots*

Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :

I used to enjoy listening to The Ramones during a romantic encounter. Too much information, I think...

I do believe that Santana is shudderingly sexy.

And there is no equal to the late, great Barry White when it comes to meltingly gorgeous looooove music.

"Last First Kiss" by John McCutcheon

Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :

Amy Sky's album With This Kiss. Totally sweet, and if you really wanted to impress your date, there's a karaoke disc included. [Wink]

Also very nice is Karl Jenkins' Palladio, which you may want to be careful of as it is the famous DeBeers "diamond music."

There is also a wide range of non-vocal Celtic tunes that I for one find very romantic.

That song's only five minutes long. I don't know that I would go around admitting that.

Of course, I will only make love to "Pigs On the Wing (Part 1)", so I guess I have no room to talk. [Razz]

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

hmmm... if we're going for time then 2112, maybe? that clocks in at 20 mins plus...

Posted by Alexa (Member # 6285) on :

It doesn't matter how long the song is, that is what "replay" is for.

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

some of us aren't that young anymore, Alexa...
