I loved the Magic Roundabout too. Dylan was the guy I and most of my friends resembled too.

I have a fondness for the Clangers. I have every episode on DVD and a CD of all the music used on the Program.

I went to a restaurant the day I bought this CD and asked the staff "Can I play my new Clangers CD". The waiter thought it was a new punk band and agreed. When the music started it took about 10 minutes of odd looks from the staff and a couple of comments from other diners before it was removed from the player and returned to me. Bloody philistines!!!!!

I think there are a BUNCH of TDN songs that could be stylistically covered, and be popular again.... grreat writing... song structure.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

KeithieW,

I just bought - for my wife's birthday - Barry Manilow's "First and Farewell" - it has 2 DVD's - one from his first ever concert on his own (using band he played with for Bette M.) - it is black and white and bad/poor quality - but lots of fun. The 2nd DVD is from his last concert - on the road - in late nineties (early 2000's ?) Haven't watched it yet.

Knowing of your "affection" for BM - or at least his music - thought I'd share. It is a good DVD.

Regards,
Ted

Thanks Ted.......we have a good DVD library here. I'll see if they have it on their list and borrow it. If I like it I'll get it. I have to admit that my favorite BM era is the Mid 70s to mid 80s...the "Even Now" era. Some wonderful songs and even better arrangements. BM and Marty Panzer were a pretty formidable writing team.

KeithieW - you are so right. I hope they have the DVD! BM is also a great showman - getting the audience involved in show.

Thanks for sharing your "guilty pleasure" with us all!! And giving us a chance to do the same.

BTW - have you heard of RUNRIG? It is a Scottish Rock group. Any thoughts or comments about them?

Regards,
Ted

I have a scottish friend who ADORES Runrig. I don't mind them but have never given them enough "ear time". Next time I see Neil I'll do that. Thanks for the reminder.

My Pleasure - I too have a friend who adores them. He has been to Scotland once and on a separate trip, his son and sister made to a concert and goto to go backstage and visit with the band.

They are really good - especially the way they mix the "traditional" instruments into a rock format - something about pipes and guitars.... wow.

Well worth listening to!!

Ted

Red face Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

Hmmm. don't think I've EVER posted to this thread... Time to fess up!

Spacey New Age music - (Some say "new age" rhymes with sewage, but I enjoy it at the "right" time... Have even composed a bit of it)

Kayak - Sorta prog Pop, but Ton Scherpenzeel is a brilliant song-writer.

Innocence Mission - Early stuff is great, but they've gotten almost TOO "precious" lately...

Whew... that hurt, but my soul is cleansed... will anyone speak to me ever again?

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

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!

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

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.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

I took my girl to see BM @ The Academy of Music in Philly. Same reasons, same results...maybe, it was 31 yrs. ago! He sang "The Dr. Pepper Song"...eveybody sang with him.
I love Magma, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, 1st Kansas, ACDC, Rob Zombie, Philip Glass, and I still play Ambrosia alot but I can only play when I'm in the house by myself.
