Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

[mossy]

I can't believe I've fessed up to that.



Well, at least my taste in music is eclectic

[podakayne]

okay mossy , you did it ... i cannot beleive you actually have that down in writing where eeeeeeeevery one can read it and point fingers at you!

lawrence welk

i'll only say my mom use to have it on esp. when leslie uggams joined the program...dont like her and lawrence give me hives

we'll have to get you in for therapy on this one

lovingly sis
who'll admit to liking "alone again naturally"
the instrumental "Telstar" i felt like the universe was talking to me

and why would elton john be a guilty pleasure? ..."Madman" makes me sing and how come they dont play ballad of danny bailey(am/fm radio classic rock)...luv that – hate funeral for a friend and candle in the wind, but that's another thread.

no one's admitted to ...Bread yeah Bread the group!
America...the group
Sparks is cool but scary (my mom said so) thanks tee8 for bringing that one up.(i'd rather here that guy then Magma's female? any day)

but really folks in my house all classical rock let alone prog was a guilty pleasure, "you listen to that weird music" which also included opera & classical so i guess i was always guilty.

poda

p.s. this is a greatly entertaining thread...i'll post more to it as i purge myself

a few <snip>s in there. Alone Again Naturally I loved when I was in grade school, but I got over it. Good ole Gilbert O'Sullivan. How scary is that that I can remember his name?

Bread? Maybe I can top that - Cake's cover of "Guitar Man". I own two Cake albums and enjoy them quite a bit...

I discovered the electronic dance music, or club music, in the early 1990s, when I was a teenager. I've been at least somewhat interested in it ever since... on and off. Acid, house, "techno", trance, etc... that stuff.

I also often seem to like the old hippie/flower-power music whenever I hear it. I Have to buy some Melanie (Safka) someday. Gather Me is nice.

Agree about Melanie.....she's still playing the circuit here in the UK. I might be going to see her in a while with my old Hippy mate Steve.

Her music sounds quite simple, but it's pretty and somehow genuine. My father has got GM as an old LP, so that's where I listen to it sometimes, at my parents.

1st, I saw 1971, and pleasure and had to reflect on my 18th year, sorry, not in the spirit here, I guess Im anti-negitivity, I just dont understand why we would want our worst music as RQs or hear the one thing that we should be embarrassed about enjoying, .........so

Methem, in the 70's I went to a 10 day Woodstock like Concert. Powder Ridge was cancelled by a Judge and all the acts cancelled because the court ordered no one could use the stage. 50 thousand still came for a weeklong festival.
One night at our Campfire, a young lady came and began to play to us acoustic.

Melanie was such a beautifull soul as she entertained us and then went on to another fire. ....Ill never forget her and this is not a guilty pleasure, just a pleasure

oh...Good Times, the '70s Ghetto Sitcom Theme

I always wanted to bone the lead singer for the Bangles.

I actually mostly took this thread as an opportunity to say, "oh, and I also like this and this stuff, in addition to prog. rock." No big feelings of guilt here -- except over some of that dance stuff.

Thanks for the recollection, sharc. Sounds great. I saw this on Wikipedia: "In 1970 Melanie was the only artist to brave the court injunction banning the Powder Ridge Rock Festival and played for the crowd on a homemade stage powered by Mr. Softie trucks."

Hey, Rick, some day you need to do a show on Airplane and those other like-minded artists from that era...
