Wise you are, Doc...yessssss!!! I love topics like this...something we ALL can feel good about.
I can't pick just one, cuz sometimes sexy is playful, sometimes intense, and sometimes heartfelt. So, here's my top five songs per category...
Female
------
Portishead - "Glory Box" (Beth Gibbons wrote this when she was 17, and she is just basically singing "I want to be fucked")
Meredith Brooks - "What Would Happen" (Fucking amazing song from a hit or miss artist, but this was seriously sexy...you felt her right there)
Dido - "Here With Me" (Haven't we all felt this way at one time or another? Too stunned to get out of bed)
Sinead Lohan - "What Can Never Be" (So slight and gentle that it is like a lover on her last night before she moves away whispering in your ear)
Suzanne Vega - "Calypso" (A song of longing, of having your heart belong to another, and of the discoveries you can make in this place)
Male
----
The Cure - "Fascination Street" (Robert Smith sings of meaningless sex and cheap thrills with a gusto that is intoxicating)
Depeche Mode - "The Love Thieves" (David Gahan's voice never sounded more longing on this ode to unrequited love)
Prince - "The Beautiful Ones/Computer Blue" (Took his early sexy sexy personality and gave it a heart, then lost it in the following song. "Shall we begin? Yes, Lisa." Mmmmm)
A Perfect Circle - "Magdalena" (Maynard James Keenen's intensity with an awesome, orgasmic guitar solo, all set to an ode to a stripper)
Chris Isaak - "Blue Spanish Sky" (Silvertone himself crying out from a broken heart. Nobody's heart broke like his. Again, great trumpet solo)
Instrumental
------------
Miles Davis Sextet - "Flamenco Sketches" (Trane's solo itself is worth the price of the CD, but it slowly builds like lovemaking itself)
Al DiMeola - "Traces of a Tear" (Gentle, sensual, heartfelt, beautiful, and haunting...a lover's touch in afterglow)
Steve Roach - "In The Presence of Something" (Slowly brings you out of the darkness into a shaman's ceremony...you can feel the heat)
Mychael Danna - "Snake Dance" (A song from the soundtrack to "Exotica"...just a great Indian drone that is full of mystery and tension)
George Winston - "Moon" (Hearts aching and reaching out to each other...like looking into your lovers eyes in the candlelight and not wanting to let go of them)
