SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED TOGETHER IN A CAVE AND GROOVING WITH A PICT

I'm with you on that one brother - my wife & I regularly sing along to this one.

However, Bay Of Kings by Hackett - one of the sweetest acoustic guitar albums; perfect, for that, er, 'special' moment.

WHAT ABOUT IF THE RELATIONSHIP GOES WRONG

HOW ABOUT ZAPPAS BROKEN HEARTS ARE FOR A**HOLES?

BIKE BY PINK FLOYD IS A LOVE SONG OF SORTS(IN A STRANGE WAY)

I HAD A FREIND WHO WOULD PLAY RUBICON AND PHEADRA BY T.G WHEN HE WAS..ER......"GETTING IT ON"(THATS AS POLITE AS I CAN PUT IT)

BUT BEING THE SENSITIVE AND CARING MAN(NOT TO MENTION IN TUNE WITH A WOMANS NEEDS) THAT I AM I WOULD PROBABLY PUT ON SOMETHING LIKE SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED TOGETHER IN A CAVE AND GROOVING WITH A PICT

AS YOU CAN PROBABLY IMAGINE...I HAVE NOT HAD MANY DATES OF LATE!

If only David Surkamp wasn't he vocalist for Pavlov's Dog the band could have made it. When I am feeling romantic towards my wife I throw on Symptom Of the Universe by Black Sabbath or Space Ritual in it's entirety by Hawkwind with the stereo cranked to 11. She always appreciates it when I do this for her.

I agree about Anthony Phillips. 'God if I saw her now', 'Sistine', 'Boulevard of fallen leaves'... lots of great songs for this purpose.

I also think 'Soon' from The Gates of Delirium would be a wise choose. But being careful not playing anything from before or after this excerpt

Rick Wakeman's 'Romance of the Victorian Age' is one of his best piano albums, and I, in fact, use it for Romantic purposes...

Frank Zappa " Love Of My Life " and if that doesn´t do the trick follow it by Zappas " I Ain´t Got No Heart "

Well, prog would not normally be my music of choice for the task, but ELP's "Still, You Turn Me On" with Lake's fairer-sex-melting voice, should turn her on, and Yes' "And You And I" has a nice sentiment. Genesis' "Cinema Show" is also good.

Anthony Phillips - The Geese and the Ghost is a great choice as an overall album for your nefarious purposes, with the lovely Collins-sung ballad "God, If I Saw Her Now" a sure-fire, romantic mood-maker. Light the candles, and kindle her flame -- a VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG! Thumbs Up Big smile Approve Clap Heart

When it comes to loving Embarrassed though (as opposed to simply gazing into each other's eyes), you can't beat Tangerine Dream. Exit or Underwater Sunlight are good bets. Wink

Good thread!

"Again" (16:19m) from ARCHIVE is worth for a great party.

Imagine you are at your home with your girlfriend, or with your wife celebrating your mother-in-law took an airplane to another country, or any romantic situation... Lights are turned off and the girl decides to hear a love song, but your radio doesn't work, and you must put one of your prog cds (at least one song). Which could be?
