Guilty Pleasures

PaulBrewer

I'm sure this is a perennial but ....

I'm in my local caff and two tunes popped up that are way too uncool to like came on .... but I love them!

Sailing by Christopher Cross and Breakout by Swing Out Sister -

What are your guilty pleasures I wonder?

fitz

I have to say, I liked pretty much everything Take That have put out since they came back.
It's just good, catchy pop.

I am mister Guilty Pleasure. I adore pop music and constantly listen to stuff that all my muso mates refer to as utter ****e. Yesterday I drove to Wexford on the empty roads of an Irish bank holiday morning with the soundtrack of Streets Of Fire blaring while I sung along well out of my range. God bless Jim Steinman

Beautiful South aren't a too guilty a pleasure but at the same time the are extremely untrendy and all the hip kids say their name with the same level of love they hold for the Chrones disease and The Bay City Rollers. But to me they are a huge influence. Paul D. Heaton is a hero.

Holding Out for a Hero- Bonnie Tyler

Any Way You Want It- Journey

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Starship

And then Eurovisiony stuff, like We've Got the World-Mickey Harte.

the ketchup song - brilliant

so I'm a middle aged guy who lives/breathes/records/performs ambient electronic/space music and my guilty pleasure is Death Metal. Maybe it's having grown up on Deep Purple but I'm still a sucker for an in-your-face guitar solo. Beyond that, I recently shocked friends by admitting that I like the band '30 seconds to Mars' and have their last album on my phone as my preferred listening while on the Luas during trips to Dubtown.

That sort of makes me a middle aged emo kid :eek:

dav nagle

Topgun theme song, Joe Duffy, Gerry Ryan, Pat Kenny.

Jabel

Still love Duran Duran
Heaven help me....
John Taylor made me the bass player I am today

Aridstarling

Anything Motown. Doesn't matter how cheesey it is, that sound and I'm bopping away, air-bassing.

I loved their first album ... it was Andy Taylor who impressed me more though.

A bit of Go West (we close our eyes) and you can't beat a bit of Spandau Ballet,
True?

How about "Kayleigh" by Marillion.

jtsuited

anything by phil collins

as was mentioned by Fitz, Take That's recent stuff is atrociously good. I feel dirty saying that.

Bon Jovi - first gig I ever went to. I was 11.

Rage Against the Machine.

A lot of 70's radio rock/pop which is so much more complex and clever than any of today's equivalents - Steely Dan, Todd Rundgren.

Queen and Abba -just to hear the detail in the musical arrangements and composition.

And the number 1 uncool thing......

I think eminem is an actual genius. I love his phrasing, his sense of humour, everything. Actually there's a good bit of hiphop I think is bloody great but is ruined by the fact it's marketed as bitches and bling.

Oh and the Streets.

Neurojazz

Nick Kershaw - 'Wouldn't it be good' (if i could hit the low notes - i usually accompany this track very badly... even singing the guitar/synth solo bit

Calling all the heroes by it bites

Was Not Was - Walk The Dinosaur....

slavedave

Anything by Shalamar!
Ain't lost the urge to do some locking and popping at 42!!

PaulBrewer

I'll have to 3rd that............. now I must go shower


If you were to look through my ipod though, the only really guilty pleasure in there is the "all eyes on me album" by tupac. It's weird, I was never really a rap fan there is just something about it, probably just nostalgia....

oh yeah, forgot to mention, supertramp. Cant get enough of that Rhodes goodness.

and cheap trick!.... i better stop now........

once I don't tell them about that certain gig we went to when we were 16, and wore those certain bandanas, I think you're alright.

Oh and make sure you don't mention us getting there early to get up the front.

o dear, back when that came out I was in hospital for a back operation that went a little wrong. There were a number of occasions when this came on the hospital radio and from the depths of a morphine drip stupor coupled with the occasional out the window spliff sounded almost as good as the Pink Military session on John Peel that I also kind of remember from that hospital stay.

The spoken word bit just gets me every time.

"Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......"

A tough one to top.

:eek: Yoda looks around the room nervously... "Hmm...taken over the asylum, the lunatics have". Yoda removes safety catch from light sabre. :cool: Yoda slowly backs out of the music production forum. He grabs his guitar, drum sticks & "Pro Tools for Dummies" as he exits stage left :pac::D:P

How about this one?... "Don't answer me" by The Alan Parsons Project. It was one of those videos that Vincent Hanley used to play on MT USA back in the 80s... just as MTV was in it's infancy.

"Tough break Nick"
He he he

It was nice of Abba not to sue him for The Winner Takes it All wasn't it?
