Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

[DEzerov]

You're not alone with the Manhattan Transfer, Poda....too cool...too hot!
Steely Dan...Becker and Fagan...just brilliant
XTC....you are right Rickster....
Tears for Fears
Sparks...the Mael Brothers are very, very clever...Lil Beethoven is unreal as are the core three albums from the early and mid 70's
Bill Nelson (solo and Be-Bop Deluxe)....retro-futurism at it's best
Roxy Music/ Brian Ferry

....these are a few of my favorite things....

frem, innocence mission! I went through a major aural journey with them, but once done sort of forgot all about them. Birds of My Neighborhood...what a brilliant album.

Absolutely agree! Birdless is a real moment on that album. The "precious" comment is probably in response to a profile of them on NPR for the album of lullabyes. Maybe if I had kids??

I note their website promises a new album in March!

One of my most loved 'guilty pleasures' has always been Uriah Heep. I was really into them up until Conquest or thereabouts, but I've lost track of them since.

They released some duffers (Innocent Victim, Fallen Victim etc) but these were more than made up for by an earlier run of great albums - The Magician's Birthday, Look At Yourself, Demons and Wizards, Salisbury etc.

I haven't heard much UH for years - there's one track on the Moon, but I'd love to hear some more.
