The grandmother I mentioned.

Seriously, you never liked any current record that granny might have done too?

Well, I didn't know my grandparents out of childhood. But if you're saying records going back to say the 30's...then conceivably some early blues or jazz might fit that criteria

I remember my nan loving the eighties reincarnation of Tina Turner. My nan thought it made her hip and cool because she [TT] was a middle-aged woman who had survived domestic abuse. Even as a kid I remember thinking I wish she hadn't.

No, I really do mean current at the time music.
How about Layla. Granny would turn off the first half but if she tuned in during the second half she may approve.

Billy Joel's The Stranger LP...Just the way you are would appeal to her, but not some of the rest.
Neil Young - Granny probably won't like keep on rockin' in the free world but might even sing along to Old Man.

Passing acquaintance with adultery if that's any help...
Our local home brew was so strong there was no option.

That's an interesting expression. Almost an affair was how I thought of it when the first woman of my dreams (from way before she was married to him) was drifting away from her husband. Again.

Presumably you asked the requisite questions at each successive stage of the intimacy process.
