What's your musical guilty pleasure?

[louielouie2000]

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!

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

Louie,

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".
