Since the movie is coming out on Feb. 14, 2015 I thought I’d re-post a blog I did several years ago. For those of you not in the know or don’t even care to know, I’ll tell you anyway… the books are full of really good music. Pop, rock, classical, mostly sexual and full of desire. Well, what would you expect? 
I complied this list from E.L. James’ web site.
