Music and emotions have always been interlocked. You hear a song you love, you get excited, turn it up, and make a fool of yourself waiting for the traffic to clear. When carefully picked, it can be a tool to help you guide the night, be it a house party, a club, or in this case, a romantic evening (or not so romantic) with that special someone. It doesn’t matter if it’s your spouse of 40 years, or that person you have been stalking since high school, the right music can do the smooth talking for you, and keep the mood going “all night long”.

10.) Nine Inch Nails – Pretty Hate Machine

For anyone who has been in a long-term relationship, you know a huge knockdown, drag-out fight is inevitable. But so is what comes next (unless it’s a break up, then this doesn’t apply, and I’m sorry for bringing up a sore subject). Nothing says angry sex like Trent Reznor and this album, just make sure the people down stairs are gone for the night.

9.) AC/DC – Back in Black

Good ol’fashioned stripper rock never got things grinding faster. The only requirement here is a fireman’s pole and some singles. Just remember to tip well! Who knows, she could be paying her way through med-school.

8.) Ratatat – LP3

While a new record, this one comes packed with solid beats and a hint of jungle fever to help you go wild.

7.) Eagles of Death Metal – Death By Sexy

This one falls along the same raunchy, one night stand, lines of Back In Black, only this time you might want to get tested the next day.

6.) Beck – Midnight Vultures

Who remembers the video for “Sexx Laws”? Even home appliances can’t resist the urge. That was only the send off for some of the most fun you will have doing the horizontal tango with Beck pumping through the speakers. Even nerdy white guys need love, and if “Nicotine and Gravy” or “Mixed Business” don’t make this obvious, I don’t know what will. Remember, he’ll “feed you fruit that don’t exist”.

5.) Prince – 1999

If there is one name that is dripping with sensuality it’s Prince. Really it doesn’t matter which record of his you put on, as long as he hits those hi-notes nothing can go wrong.

4.) Parliament – Mothership Connection

The king of funk is back, and George Clinton is here to help you get down. This music was written for one thing, and one thing only, and if the porn industry approves, you know it’s going to be a good night…or afternoon…or morning. “There’s a whole lot of rhythm going ‘round”.

3.) Jamiroqui – A Funk Odyssey

Again, funk music is classic for setting the mood, and with his smooth voice, and heavy beats you’ll get the whole place jumping.

2.) Daft Punk – Discovery

“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, “One More Time”, and “Digital Love”. Need I say more?

1.) Al Green – Lets Stay Together

Mr. Green helps you keep it classy with this one. He gets your point across with a romantic touch that is irresistible to anyone listening. Light some candles, bust out the Stouffers dinner, and get ready to make love.
