I find that the music you listen to while getting it on has a lot to do with the way that things go. I think it makes me more calm if I'm listening to music at the same time. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I'm less worried the roommates will hear?
Anyhow... here are some of my favorites...
Air - Virgin Suicides
Sigur Rs - gtis byrjun
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Old Time Relijun - Lost Light
Squarepusher - Ultravisitor
Lightning Bolt - Ride the Skies
Suicide - [ANY album would work]
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
Beck - Sea Change (perhaps a strange choice because this album is kind of sad... but its sweet)
Blonde Redhead - Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons
Gossip - Thats Not What I Heard
Portishead - s/t
Sun Kil Moon - Tiny Cities
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
Individual songs...
Nine Inch Nails - "Closer"
Violent Femmes - "Add it up"
Violent Femmes - "Gimmie the Car"
Of Montreal - "Gallery Piece"
Of Montreal - "She's a Rejector"
Holger Czukay - "Cool in the Pool"
The Blow - "How Naked Are We Gonna Get"
Sebadoh - "Brand New Love"
The Cramps - "I Can't Hardly Stand It"
Blonde Redhead - "(I Am Taking Out My Eurotrash) I Still Get Rocks Off"
Gossip - "Are you that Somebody?" (Aaliyah cover)
Beat Happening - "You Turn Me On"
