What's your musical guilty pleasure?
 

Ok, so I have musical guilty pleasures that I keep private, and have never shared with anyone. What are yours? Here are a couple of mine...

Firstly, I *LOVE* Al Stewart's Year Of The Cat album! The whole thing is everything that is corny and wrong about the '70s, but I can't help it! I LOVE it! I bet the fact the album was produced by the incomparable Alan Parsons has a big deal to do with it... he can sew silk out of a sow's ear! The album is the closest thing to getting in a time machine and hitting 1976 that I'll ever get, probably another reason I like it so much. The whole mystical folk tale quality was the original selling point for me. I just hate knowing music like this is extinct, and almost nobody knows about it anymore.

Another one is Ambrosia... they're total 1970s porn music, but I love 'em as well! Also produced by the great Alan Parsons. I think David Pack has one of the prettiest male voices I've ever heard. He has such a fat, juicy tone. I've read where they also toured extensively with the Mac, interesting factoid I never knew! I've often fantasized about doing karaoke to "You're The Only Woman"... the irony of it alone would be freaking hilarious! :laugh:

Alright, now that I fessed up, it's y'all's turn! :o:woohoo:

AFROMAN!!!

I love Afroman!!

Nothing!! Because you shouldn't feel guilty about enjoying what makes you happy!!:)

Louie,

"Time pass-a-jez" Al Stewart always makes me laugh. :D

I like 70s-era Rod Stewart (Do You Think I'm Sexy, etc). I also don't mind listening to that first Wilson Philips album (the one Glen ballard wrote all the songs on). I don't know if it's because it was so popular during my 'growing up' years or not. I also, on occasion, like me some Notorious B.I.G. :rolleyes:

Chris deBurgh.
Don't tell anyone, though ;)

Early nineties rap-music. The likes of old-school Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Public Enemy etc.

You think I'm joking. :lol:

Fleetwood Mac

:laugh:

Yeah, the moment you mention it as one of your favorite bands you can almost anticipate the reaction.

Yes. I don't get the "guilty" concept. Do you mean something you are ashamed to admit you like? Any band that most critics damn? In that case I always loved the Bee Gees, a megaband that was so rejected during the post Saturday Night Fever years, but later it came back as a true legendary band.

Shameless glitzy r'n'b and Pitbull and Daddy Yankee. :D

Yes Fleetwood Mac, along with Lady Gagagag

:laugh: I've had that look many times.

I also like Spandau Ballet. I saw them live a few weeks back and they were absolutely brilliant!

Stevie Nicks.

Pause. :confused:

Who's he?

Not at all keen on Chris DeBurgh but different strokes and all that...

I have to agree that I don't really have musical guilt as such but I know what others would consider a guily pleasure...

Belinda Carlisle and Roxette! I love them!

I had a conversation like that with a friend a few weeks ago. It took awhile for said friend to actually understand that YES Stevie is "the girl" and YES Lindsey is "the bloke".
