On your first date you went out for coffee, second date you had drinks.  Now it’s the third date and you’re having dinner at your place.  Everything’s ready – the meal, the décor, you even know what you’re going to wear.  Only one detail remains – figuring out what music to listen to during dinner and if things go well, once you’ve moved on over to the couch .

I’ve compiled a list here of my suggestions for best home dinner date music.  Since everyone has different taste and style, I’ve categorized the collection of albums into music genres I think work best for some cool and sophisticated sexy sounds.  Enjoy!
