Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

What’s Going On is one of the greatest albums of all time, with searing social commentary about racism, corruption and the state of the planet, so it seems a little bit of a step back for the follow up to be a short album about (and let’s be blunt here) making sweet, sweet love.

I mean, it’s not subtle - the opening track gets straight to the point and immediately proposes getting it on. At least let me take my coat off first Marvin, and a bottle of wine and some flowers might be nice too. It seems that the object of Marvin’s lust might have felt the same as he has to beg them to stay on the next track.

However, the rest of the album quickly returns to the hot and steamy stuff with the erm, climax, being the tracks ‘You Sure Love to Ball’ and ‘Just to Keep You Satisfied’. Well, quite.

However, if you are looking for an album to inspire some sexytimes and the object of your affections is similarly broad minded and in the mood, then this might a good choice.
