We all have them, things we listen to, god forbid someone else listens to our play lists...

So let’s have em, admit to your darkest music secrets......

Mary hold the candle steady while I shave the chickens neck - Mr B Grace

I get awful slagging for listening to a bit of dark ambient. Aphex twins select ambient works volume 2 or the stalker album by Robert rich and lustmord tends to raise heads, asking how on earth I listen to such stuff.

Johnny Sausage

I'll make love to you - Boyz II Men

Woke Hogan

Only Yesterday - The Carpenters

the beer revolu

Crazy in love.
El Paso.

One of the most fun pop songs of all time (I reckon anyway), always ends up on a playlist.

when I have a serious job on, and need to get work done, I like to listen to 90s/00s poppy dance its so bad. It genuinely stops me from getting distracted with OOO I wanna listen to this band and oo remember that od mix you heard on that other album wonder if that's around, before you've known it. You've spent 3 hours listening to the most obscure remix's and mix's when you should be doing work. So my terrible play list is for concentrating. :pac:

Earthhorse

Trouble - Taylor Swift

Rufeo

Hailee Steinfeld

But I love her.

Pac1Man

Pure Shores - All Saints

Porklife

I've recently been partial to a bit of James Blunt..*hangs head in shame*

Bobblehats

Long time since I listened but I recall amidst all the darkness and obscurity did reside one Russ Abbott -

I wasn’t alone in this I imagine. That brief moment of irony was cutting

Hmmm. That’s a great song though even if it’s from a not so great band.

Sorry bout that, I did tell you the new album was surprisingly good on another thread a few weeks back

For me, at the moment it's probably Pearl Jam, last kiss getting a lot of rotation

I'm approaching the 26th anniversary of my 1st date with my late wife in a few days so I'm fairly maudlin at the moment but that's what the headphones are for.

But that's "officially" great music. What are the people slagging you off listening to, Ed Sheeran??

I don't really believe in "guilty pleasures" as such, but I have a few John Mayer albums on my iTunes which I would never divulge!

I also love early Dire Straits (first three albums are golden) but they are yet to get their "cool" revival (though if Fleetwood Mac can do it, it's only a matter of time).

And I do like a bit of Take That.

Early Straits are an absolute gold standard, Knopfler is a blooming Genius anyway IMO but those 1st 3 albums are absolute tour de force.

I agree, Tunnel of Love is an incredible, emotional song. Sure there's guitar solos but it's just guitar / bass / drums / piano, not a saxophone or cheesy synth in sight.

I saw Knopfler in the 3 Arena last year and he was really good. I think he has a certain kudos as a solo artist now, but Dire Straits have never had their revival, even though at one point they were arguably the biggest band in the world.

James Blunt is way better than the slagging he gets. Bit of a victim of his own success.

Wisemen is a great song, as many others.

Guilty for me- bit of aul Joe Dolan - Goodbye Venice Goodbye...family sing song parties in our house in the 70's...good times, that's what it's about.

Friends have often laughed at my playlist in the car, there will be The Cure, The Smith's, cool retro stuff, then up pops a bit of Joe.

Church on Tuesday

Limp Bizkit.

Ash.J.Williams

Kids in America - lawnmower deth

Fiery mutant

Grace, by Jim McGann. Every time it comes on I’m in full voice, be it around the house or in the car.

Hodors Appletart

Neil Diamond, apart from Sweet Caroline, but songs like Forever in Blue Jeans, Cracklin' Rosie and I Am I Said are masterpieces.

aziz

Early Chris De Burgh stuff. Yeah i know,I know

upupup

Mantis Toboggan

The Mary wholopers

Another vote for Pure Shores by All Saints.

You'll find some Enya also on mine.

Devil goes down to Georgia - the Muppet Version.

Joe Dolan was amazing, cracked the UK long before the rats

Tar and Cement is a fantastic song

I’ve a couple of tunes that I would blame on my seven year old, should anyone ever scroll through my playlist. I don’t think she’s even heard of ‘baby (one more time)’ though

Redneck Reject71

Wasted Rock Ranger - Great White

Ah now; they were a fantastic pop group while they lasted.

Better Than Christ

I listen to this way more than anyone should.

Jimbob1977

Boy Meets Girl - Waiting for a Star to Fall.

They'll probably spontaneously combust if they ever discover that Judas Priest recorded three songs with SAW.

If I ever met you in person, I'd give you a hug for reminding me about that!

I'm a dyed in the wool metal head. But on my phone I have Scala & Kolacny Brothers. some of their interpretations of songs are just haunting.

I think ‘Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon’ is a great song.
