Guilty Pleasures

[darkandrew]

I know I shouldn't have done it but I have just dug out my old Toyah "The Changeling" CD, played it and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I also now feel the need to confess to more than just a passing appreciation for ABBA. So having got that off my chest, has anyone else got any guilty pleasures (of the musical variety!) that they feel the need to confess?

Very timely thread!

I was rehearsing this afternoon as part of a trio (piano, bass, drums) for a charity event scheduled for the start of August. The event will be very much for the over-sixties, and very middle-of-the-road.
Current setlist includes;
Moon River,
This old House,
I'm on the top of the world,
Georgy girl,
Somewhere (from West Side Story)
Born Free
Fernando
Georgia on my mind.

Guilty pleasure - I'm really enjoying it!

+1 for[i] Somewhere[/i] from [i]West Side Story[/i]. Always gets me blubbing like a big girl's blouse.

I can wholly understand that one, a lot of metal fans are into the whole symphonic side of things as well, as it somehow fits so well with metal.

My only guilty pleasure is a very vague one of cheesy pop songs, most people who like 'real' music absolutely hate them, but some are just satisfying to play.

Me too.

I also freely admit to loving The Darkness' Permission To Land album and The Stylistics.

Are we still friends?

[Roland Rock]

Rosanna, by Toto
Bossa Nova (the entire genre, not the Pixies album)

[Hobbayne]

Theres a programme on the BBC Iplayer about the late Roy Orbison that had had me singing along earlier!

[Cameronj279]

I do enjoy a bit of Enya...

[Big_Stu]

Had a singalong to Roger Whitaker's "Durham Town" today - which I also have on CD, (did I say that out loud? )
Great song, though for a Geordie type bloke his geography's off a bit.

[rogerstodge]

I'd play any of the afore mentioned songs, but if you EVER see me playing mustang Sally you have my permission to shoot me.

I love ABBA, but predominantly work in rock/prog styles. I've also got the first S-Club 7 album, it's actually pretty good, not as good as Erasure though...

[Dad3353]

Grateful Dead (scuttles back behind the skirting board...).

Anything by Mike Batt that involves small furry recyclers...

I'm not ashamed about any of the music I like.

[SpaceChick]

whenever I feel really down I put the Wombles greatest hits album on, makes me smile every time.

You can ask me to leave if you like

I've been playing quite a bit of pop recently, Katy Perry's Hot and Cold being one example and it's so much fun. Brown Eyed Girl is in the same set though, which is not fun anymore.

Sky 2 - takes me back to pre-teen days before we shifted to NZ.

[martin8708]

Torn - by Natalie Imbruglia
Great live version on youtube to jam along with . ( hope the rest of the band dont find out )

Wham rap came on the radio on my drive home from work this morning, great tune!! I'd forgotten just how good a bass player Dion Estus is, think I might be putting some Wham on the iPod today!
