What’s the hidden lurker in your playlist?

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

Crazy in love.
El Paso.

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:

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

Pure Shores - All Saints

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.

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.

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.

Limp Bizkit.

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

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