For those hot steamy sessions that lead to a romp in the sack you can't do much better than Al Green's Call Me.

Now that I have been woken out of my stupour by the potential of HappyNZ rolling around some sort of hessian bag gyrating to Al Green, here is a kinda Desert Island Discs take on a "top 5 albums" (as I'm thinking that compilations are OK so I can pick the top 5 and be listening to the singles, etc out of their original context -- yeah OK you got me I want to cheat and not miss out on some great tracks!):

Talking Heads - Sand In The Vaseline (bit like Once in A Lifetime, but with 2 CDs of their best rather than just one!!)

Elvis Costello - Girls, Girls, Girls (2 CD best of mainly with the Attrtactions)

This Are Two Tone - ye olde 2 Tone compliation with Stereotype, Too Experienced and other not so classical classics

Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1964-1971

Queen - Live Killers (was going to go for The Platinum Collection - all the Greatest Hits Albums - but the last CD would make me weep!)

I know its cheating but heh, never mind the quality feel the width!

RobClubley

We were there!

Best albums - here are a few of my faves:

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Evanescence - Fallen
Embrace - Out of nothing
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
U2 - Joshua Tree,/ All that you can't leave behind
AC/DC - Back in Black
Coldplay - Eyes Open
Queen - Live at wembley
David Gray - White ladder
Robbie Williams - Escapology
Metallica - the black album
Keane - Hopes and Fears

I can't pick favourites!

Yes all this is good music. (with the exception of beautiful south. If theres one band thats full of egotistical twats then thats it, makes me cringe every time I hear their crappy excuse for music)

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Pink Floyd or the good lord Bob Dylan. Possibly the most influential musical genius of all time! Not to mention Nirvana, Ozric tenticles, Hendrix, Led Zep... the list goes on. I'm off to head for the stereo.

Vim Fuego

ewanainsworth thinks it's good music, you call all sleep easy now people!

Anyway, today's Best Album Ever! is: Elastica - Elastica.

lizard

That is a great album. When you are stuck like glue - vaseline.

Vim Fuego

That was the first track I heard on the John Peel show.

The rumour is that Damon Allbran (sic) wrote most of it.

Nice Guy

Hmmmmmmmm...........a romp in the sack.................for me has to be Barry White................what a performer he was.

littleal

That's another image I don't want to think about. Will need to be a big stretch of hessian to fit the luurrve crooner

crap coffee
