Ok, here's mine. It's part of my 3 disc collection with the final CD entitled "The Copulation" (for OBVIOUS reasons cool). I left off any Prince cuts, since I have a 3-CD set dedicated to him. This was my Neo Soul contribution to the Slow Jams genre, and all 3 CDs in the collection are male singers - JUST to make sure I get my point across as to what's gonna take place between me and her razz .

1. Lady - D'Angelo
2. Whenever, Wherever, Whatever (Live) - Maxwell
3. Down Here In Hell - Van Hunt
4. Float - Anthony Hamilton
5. Let's Lay Down - Geno Young
6. Lay Your Head On My Pillow - Tony Toni Tone'
7. Seconds of Pleasure - Van Hunt
8. Slow Wine - Tony Toni Tone'
9. Fortunate - Maxwell
10. Lust - Martin Luther
11. Untitled (How Does It Feel) - D'Angelo
12. Sumthin-Sumthin (mellosmooth) - Love Jones soundtrack) - Maxwell
13. Til The Cops Come Knockin' - Maxwell

If you ain't fuckin' by track 8, you was NEVER gonna get the drawers to begin with, troop! lol.

Coil's version of Tainted love is pretty good.

It's the same thing as soft cell's version, but slowed down at half the speed!
