I think I figured why this post elicited a reaction Spaz. I thought about it awhile, becuase I've posted a "WOW" thought (American Idol) and some support (Cult et. al.), but no one took offense at my posts. I hope it's not because I'm the "program director" - if I say something stupid or inappropriate, I want people to call me on it! I think the difference is that you've made no secret in the past of your love of those bands, especially Journey and Petty, but the others as well. So even if you didn't mean it as such, your post READS as if you're saying "If I like it it's not a guilty pleasure, but if I don't it is." I'm not complaining about your post, but putting a thought out there as to why it wasn't taken so well. For the record, I have 4 Aimee Mann albums, and I like them better than anything Journey did with Steve Perry. So there!

It's just that there's so much to choose from Jim, to call you on it would be time consuming!

That's how I read it too. Methem had it right in his post. And I really think Guilty Pleasure is a misnomer...

I'm still peeved about the Aimee Mann thing. Not comparable to the Bangles or Huey, sorry.
