Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On

Two years after decisively capturing the zeitgeist of civil unrest with What’s Going On?, five years before he would release the incredibly divorced masterpiece Here, My Dear, and eleven years before he would be shot to death by his own father, Marvin Gaye redefined American sexuality with his 1973 coitus album Let’s Get It On. The wah-wah guitar in the intro to the title track has become memefied so heavily that it no longer bears resemblance to an aphrodisiac, but the rest of the record still hits hard as an iconic neat slab of quiet storm funk-inflected baby-making music. Aggregate site Acclaimed Music has listed Let’s Get It On as the 215th most critically acclaimed record in the history of music. Let’s Get It On is also the 422nd Greatest Album Of All Time according to Rolling Stone Magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which means that Christopher and Liam have listened to it and now they’re going to caress the topic with care and attention. Featuring digressions and hot takes on everything from the Yang Yang Twins, White Zombie, The Matrix Reloaded, Ed Sheeran and Aphex Twin, as well as Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week and the Bette Midler Factor. Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
