Rickbass-
I'm so glad Keith revived this thread! For some reason, I didn't
receive an update, missed your post.

Thanks for the good words and support! I've recently relocated to
Fox Island, aprox. 12 miles from Gig Harbor...so we're only
100 miles or so distant.

Your friends will be glad to know there's an entire branch of
Christian prog, AKA "CProg"!
Steer them toward Glass Hammer, Salem Hill,
or do a Google search. There's many indie bands on the web doing
some very good material in this genre.
"Vertical Alignment" comes to mind. Tell them I sent you.

Back on thread-

Guilty pleasures...OK...I watched every show of American Idol
this past 3 years...shutup, Rick.

I also listen to Comcast's Music Choice/Soundscapes until around 11
every day. It's about all I can handle until I'm 100% awake...
or on the 3rd cuppa, whichever comes first.

Oh, and I like Metallica, have several of their cds.
I use "Enter Sandman" to showoff the Klipsch speakers.

KW, why don't you search for your thread of favorite gigs. I could not find it. I was/is awsum..

[mossy]

Ditto Kirk on the American Idol. Every episode for two years, and if I'm not there it gets recorded.

I'm so glad you mentioned this. I was getting lost in Welk.

There's a new one on now till the end of the summer with Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke doing the judging for their new band. Complete fodder but great fun.

Soundscapes - usually on a Saturday when I'm cleaning the house. It's one of the music channels on telly here.

Hey Moon Budz,
I like the new look for the site!!

My friend with all the CD’s is now getting them to me 50 at a time and my iTunes library is now up to 5250 songs. The Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin & Steve Stevens - Black Light Syndrome & epically Situation Dangerous are some of my new favs from the last batch. Poda luv the new avatar ( E.Q. fits you well), all is well on the home front ill be popping in from time to time. My best wishes to all

PS
Rick, Puleo has a new band named Haiku the CD’s are only available locally at the show. Drop me a line for more info.

Bon eh bien comme on dirait que ce site a l'air de s'épanouir encore plus, je vais tirer ma révérence après pas grand chose. Va falloir être beaucoup plus conciliant sans déconner si on veut me revoir par ici. allez que le grand cric vous croque.

Adieu.

Cédric.

[kirk]

Translation? Babelfish mangled it-

Good eh well as it would be said that this site seems to open out even more, I will draw my reverence after large step thing. Will be necessary to be much more reconciling without talking cock if one wants to re-examine me by here go that the large jack crunches you. Good-bye. Cédric

Wuzzle?

Hey now! Kirk, enter the metallica thread posted yesterday! Yea!

I'm not wasting space on American Idol lol.....

Quantum I'll drop you a line soon, sounds cool!

Resurrecting Manilow, I talked with Matthew Parmenter at the 2005 Nearfest for three hours about Barry. Anybody hear the big hubbub in Austrailia recently? They were using barry's music to frive out local ruffians, and it worked. Check it out sometime.

Ok, I've named a million before but here are my top guilty pleasures...

The Cult
Molly Hatchet's first record (a classic!)
anything from the 50's except for Pat Boone (I enjoy his metal period better!)
early 70's funk
Love Beach (THAT was a joke)
Ambrosia's "Biggest Part of Me"
"Baby Come Back" (band escapes me)

You almost had yerself a bucket full of trouble there, Keithie, until I realized that you had me and Rick mixed up. HE likes Dylan, and I like ...well, you know what I'm saying.

Of course, you DID get me and Rick mixed up, which in and of itself gets you into at least a medium sized bucket of trouble.

Roger -Dot- Lee, of course I'm kidding. But which part shall remain a mystery...

I can tell you i like Dylan as much as an Eskimo likes Brazil....poet mt ass

[pelothar]

- Pearl Jam (im from the grunge generation)
- The Doors
- Cat Stevens
- The Clash
- White Stripes
- and a lot of south american bands

[Hawksun]

-Cryptopsy
-Skinny Puppy
-Throbbing Gristle
-Devo
-Les Georges Leningrad
Among other ones...

But since I'm not a prog only fan, these are actually un-guilty pleasures.

[Lemur]

I used to listen to classic rock, so that sort of music really doesn't make me feel guilty. One thing I do feel guilty about is liking Maroon 5.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

Some of the things people call guilty pleasures are interesting. White Stripes? That's a great band, and I feel no guilt whatsoever. Dylan? Massively overrated, but still an icon and no guilt. Doors and even Pearl Jam? That's some pretty good quality straight ahead rock, no guilt. The Cult? They're pretty damn good. Molly Hatchett's first? I first heard their version of Allman Bros' "Dreams" live, and that's still one of my favorite live moments EVER. Believe it.

Onto the slams.
American fing Idol?! Are you kidding me? I have NEVER seen an episode. How can two people that I respect so much (Mossy I've met in person, and Kirk I've heard his music (and added it to the moon for crissake!!)) like that show? If it was anybody else I'd be MORE honest!!

Lawrence Welk? That's so bad it's almost cool. I can live with that.

My recent confession - I'm thinking about buying Johnny Cash's last album, America V. (Not for the moon, don't worry.)

[Yesspaz]

I still think my Roxette collection trumps you all. Oh, except for the Barry Manilow fans...

[Hawksun]

Is Daft Punk considered a guilty pleasure?

[mossy]

Barry Manilow was wunnerful on American Idol

Thank you for speaking for me regarding the Idol. I don't need to see an episode, I hear it all the time at work. Is that the same Rany Jackson on the panel that used to play bass and was on Ponty records?

I used to watch Lawrence Welk all the time. That and Gunsmoke and everything else my dad thought was worthwhile...I do miss Arthur Duncan's tap dancing though.

One show that I was forced to watch was Hee Haw. Except for Roy Clark, there's some absolute awful performances on there.

Yep, the same one who played on Journey's Raised on Radio album too.

[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

[sharcnorris]

This is view 1972 of this thread in Honor of the year 1971, and my guilty pleasure of:
graduating High School, Flying that Summer to England where My 6 week Adventure traveled from there to Norway, around Amsterdam and Stockholm, all by thumb , night Adventures and Hostels. I had a paperback copy of LORD OF THE RINGS that I read in my Napsack each night and Had one Awesome time as I Ended with a week back in London..... How Many times I was picked up and asked about ,CSN&Y and the airplane. I wanted to talk about ELP and Genesis
