Best Classic Rock Songs For Sex

Classic rock songs are songs that are older than twenty-five years.  Older rock songs contain innuendo and cover the topic of making love. Of course there are some songs that are very clear what they are for. The songs are for making love so set it on and let it play all night long.

25.“Bang A Gong” by T. Rex (1971)
The song takes riff from “Little Queenie” by Chuck Berry and supposedly ended the friendship between Marc Bolan and John Peel.  The reference to sex is pretty evident.  This feel good song will always hit the mark. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)

24.”Slow Ride” by Foghat (1975)
This song came out on their fifth album in 1975 and there is a fantastic version on their live album, Foghat Live, that was released in 1977. This was Foghat’s best charting single and is much played on classic rock radio. There are various versions that span from 7-10 minutes and the song slowly builds in tempo and intensity until the final push to the final, climactic end.

23.”I Want to Know What Love” Is by Foreigner (1984)
A song about love and being shown what it is. This song can still be played at any high school reunion and fond memories come rushing back to the days when you had your first slow dance to this song.

16.”More Than Words” by Extreme (1990)
It has been over twenty-five years since Pornograffiti was released. “More Than Words” is the song that convinced girls to lose their virginity. I think the panties started dropping just looking at Nuno Bettencourt’s luscious lips. Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon recreated the famous video.

11. “With or Without You” by U2 (1987)
Although the lyrics to this song cover the distance of being away from a loved one. The power of this song are not lost on anyone. I imagine it if you were going away from someone, you would want to spend time together with this song. With or Without You is from the album The Joshua Tree which is without a doubt, U2’s best album.

6.”Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones (1981)
Released August 14, 1981, “Start Me Up” is the epitome of songs about sex. Mick Jagger asks the lady to start him up and he’ll never stop. The woman in the song is so hot that she would make a dead man cum.

5. “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin (1969)
Led Zeppelin II, released in 1969, contains the only Led Zeppelin song to reach the top ten, peaking at #4 in the US as a single. Most radio stations edited out the controversial middle section that contained Robert Plant’s moaning and vocals. The full version remains one of the band’s classics and the music and Willie Dixon inspired lyrics are primal and sexy.

4. “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel(1986)

3. “Need You Tonight” by INXS (1987)
When you think of a sexy song, I do not know of one that is possibly sexier than “Need You Tonight”. The rhythm of the song and the super hot singer, Michael Hutchence, sent this song to the top of the charts and is synonymous with INXS. INXS is an Australian rock band formed in 1977. The song is on their album Kick.

Released in 1980 on their album, Back In Black, this song has become a staple of classic rock playlists and also makes regular appearances at wedding receptions I have attended in the last 30 years. The rhythm and lyrics are straight- forward and if this song does not get things started then you may want to make sure your partner is still breathing and alive.

 

  1.  “Night Moves” by Bob Seger (1976)
    Released in 1976 by Bob Seger, this song is the most classic rock song for sex. The lyrics are so poignant about a summertime teenage affair. The song is timeless. In 1994, a music video was released and starred Matt LeBlanc, prior to “Friends” television show and Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Park”.
