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? http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001">  http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb039"> |

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

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! When it comes to loving Good thread! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
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.
though (as opposed to simply gazing into each other's eyes), you can't beat Tangerine Dream. Exit or Underwater Sunlight are good bets.

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... |

| 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'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. -------------

Instrumental stuff works best. That way your not singing along while doing the shag. Camel: Snow Goose for romance, Black Light Syndrome for serious http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001">

I agree with most of mentioned songs, specially Anthony Phillips' "God, If I Saw Her Now"... beautiful song! And what about Queen's "Love Of My Live"? Not from a really prog band, but it works OK |

Wow! I can't believe that I'm the first to mention chick-melter "Cest la Vie," by ELP! My wife goes all googly-eyed to that one!

In the "old days", when it was LP records, it was all about finding something that was long enough to avoid spoiling the mood by having to get up to turn the record over. A favorite of mine was "Autumn Grass" by Continuum. The title track took up one side of the LP, and lasted almost half an hour (for the CD generation, most LPs were about 20 minutes a side). Whats more, the music was entirely suitable, being a sort of ambient fusion with a great flute section. Other fallbacks were "The Ikon" by Utopia, and "A treatise on cosmic fire" by Todd Rundgren, both also around the half hour. |

That's a german 70s Hard rock band first lead by Shenker...but yes this is a great love song. I like the way Phil sung and the fantastic guitar solo played at the end of the tune By Shenker...All their double album is cool. -------------
