Recently, Billboard has released its top 50 sexiest songs of all time. Me being the music buff that I am... Find this list absolutely deplorable. What they say on how its ranked...
"Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years."

NOW... ok, Some of the songs I can definately see on the List. Marvin Gaye. Absolutely. Even some of the more current stuff. But seriously? So much Donna Summers? And I'm sorry... but blatant sex doesnt make something sexy to me...
"I'm a dick thrower
Her neck and her back hurting
Cut throat I'll have you like a brand new virgin
It's like when she get used to it then you start serving
Hop up on top and start jiggy-jiggy-jiggy- jerking
Slow down for me you moving to fast
My fingers keep slipping I'm trying to grip that ass
Keep being hard headed and Ima make you get off me
Got human up the skies but my face is a doggy
If you loving my bark let me bury my bone
I got 4 or 5 bad merry bitches at home
One of my bitches feel in love with that outside dick
that outside dick keep them hoes sick"
These are lyrics taken from the Juvenile song "Slow Motion" Tell me how is that sexy??? I mean really? To me that is just blatant sex. no innuendos that makes a song sexy. Know what I mean?
And only 1 Prince song???? REALLY???? And where are the greats? Teddy Pendergrass, BARRY WHITE, Isacc Hayes???? The Isley Brothers??? Remember that song "Between the Sheets?" yes, it's rather to the point... But it's Vocal and the music behind it is amazing. One of the most sampled peices of music today.
To me there is more behind "Sexy Music" than just words. It's the music, it's the emotion. Innuendos. Hyperbole. or whatever you want to call it. And there is also music that is sexy, but have nothing to do with sex in general. Take for instance... Stevie Ray Vaughn and Tin Pan Alley. Listen to it. Close your eyes and let the music take you places. Maybe it's just that im such a music nerd. I don't know.
Like I said, I have issue with this list. Especially considering that Olivia Newton John was number 1. Yeah ok, Physical had a LOT of sexual undertones. However, most people think it's just a work out song. And each person is different. So what I may find as "Sexy" some people may not find sexy. To each thier own. But really... Some of those songs that are on the list are just rediculous. And I know that they only put it out based on billboard numbers etc... But they say that Billboard is the music bible. I find this incredibally hard to believe. It's like when Rolling stone Magazine released thier top 100 Guitarists of all time. Popularity, Money. Driving factors into what makes these lists. Really? Kurt Cobain placed higher than greats like Carlos Santana and Buddy Guy???? And Billy Gibbons from ZZTop. Not even on the list. Oddly enough, the Number 1 Guitarist on that list Jimi Hendrix, looked up to Billy as a Guitar God.
Maybe it's just me. I don't know. These lists honestly to me are bullshit created by people who are paid to put them together. And just like an opinion, everyone will have thier own thoughts on certain things. But Olivia Newton John? *shakes head*
Again just my opinions.
