Here it is, the final five, the favorites to f@^$ to...
It was a difficult decision to settle on the #1 choice, but we're sure you'll agree it's worthy... if you don't believe us, you can always try it out and report back...
5. Purple Rain – Prince and the Revolution
We'd get beaten up for leaving this out, although we've found it tends to distract women of a certain age group (hint: they were 13 in 1984) while we're in the middle of making out to belt out the title cut. For some reason, this is a total turn-on.
4. Roseland NYC Live – Portishead
It wouldn't be a Nerve piece about sex and music without a Portishead mention, as Remote Island Bryan previously noted. Although some will find the between-song applause distracting-- others, well... they might feel the audience is rooting for them.
3. Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair
A groundbreaking ode to female empowerment, basically a song-by-song response to Exile on Main Street, the Rolling Stones' ode to male bonding and endless whiskey, Guyville starts off with Liz proclaiming she's over a guy and "still standing 6-foot-one/instead of five feet two/I love my life/and I hated you." Rarr, everything here just sounds so hot.
It doesn't stop there. Featuring songs about divorce, Catholicism, ice cream, and Chicago, plus Playboy's sexiest song of 1993, "Flower," chosen for its lines "I want to be your blow job queen" and "I'll take you home and make you like it," lines which taken out of context from a mock-love song like "Flower" can definitely end up getting misconstrued. Despite the anti-sexy sex songs, there is plenty here to turn everybody on, especially all the raw girl power, which you might recall was, at one time, cool and fresh. (This was before Lilith Fair made it commercial and bland and Phair was forced to come out with the recent "Why Can't I?"-- an awful song and major hit single-- to stay relevant.) You can see why this album is both brilliant and sexy on Phair's ongoing tour, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of Guyville. Just watch out for the perverts enjoying the music a little too much...
6'1"
2. Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye
Yeah, yeah... you have the overplayed
song, thanks to Napster or your brother's iTunes. I bet he doesn't have
any of the other tracks, though, cookers like “Distant Lover,” “You
Sure Love To Ball,” and “Just To Keep You Satisfied.” If you leave it
on top of your stereo, everyone will think you've been getting laid. Or
a douchebag. Get it regardless.
The #1 album may come as a surprise, since it's not even close to the artist's most famous release. In fact, we had it at #3 for the past week while putting up the previous posts. At various times, Guyville, Purple Rain, and even To Bring You My Love (#6) all sat at the atop of this chart. But it seemed the consensus choice was one album, any one album, by the Right Reverend from Memphis, the sexiest voice alive, that could truly be called The Sexiest Album You Must Own...
1. I'm Still In Love With You – Al Green
It doesn't matter-- Call Me? Let's Stay Together? The Definitive Greatest
Hits? Buy one, buy 'em
all, gentlemen and ladies, just so long as you realize who your partner will really be
fantasizing about...
