I can agree with 'Slow' here above, but I also imagine a hot sexy latin environment to have sex with a lot of interaction of the bodies and then I like 'She bangs' from Ricky Martin. Don't know why, but it has something sensual, touching, sweaty bodies...
I do not like music during sex. Maybe I'd put some industrial, ambient electronic music, or even some spacey sounding nineinchnails during SM/B&D, or I'd put on music that the submissive hates. <eg>
I went college in the early 80's and everyone seemed to think they needed to screw to Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". Probably a good indicator of our maturity level as college freshmen.
Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. It is a long song and it has the perfect beat. Anyone remember Jennifer Aniston dancing to it and kissing another girl in the movie Rockstar?
another thing I would like to add is I do not always like music playing during sex. It depends on when and where. In the hot tub, we play music, in the bedroom we do not.
I like anything that doesn't have a lot of lyrics and prefer an album to individual songs, so -
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me or Mulholland Drive by Angelo Badlamenti
Dummy and Portishead by Portishead
Mezzanine by Massive Attack
Simple Things by Zero 7
Wax Poetic by Wax Poetic
Greatest Hits by Tony! Toni! Tone!
Brown Sugar or Voodoo by D'Angelo
Greatest Hits by Sade
But I probably need to get with the program.
Only even heard of two of the artists on your list.
I do have one of the albums so I don't feel like a total outcast.
Same with most of the other music listed - my tastes are not in sync with what is popular I do know Marvin Gaye & Rev. Al Green
(Have heard of Stars & Stripes Hootie - not my style)
Tend toward slow jazz and Brazilian.
