"Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too"...I'm a huge, huge Peter Gabriel fan, but he doesn't really have songs you want to have sex to. "Shaking the Tree" and "Games without Frontiers" have good beat but...no, thank you.

But just to reiterate what you had said not exactly the get it on vibe. Also one other note I love when bands cross reference/pollinate lyrics…makes it more fun. Ottoman and this one, Harmony Hall and Finger Back etc.
