Guilty Pleasures!

[haplesshacker]

We've had various music lists on here. But not this one. And after last nights antics I fancy something a little light hearted tonight!

So don't be embarrased. Let's have it out in the open. What are your guilty music pleasures? You know, the tracks and / or artists that you know you really shouldn't be listening to, and would rather your friends not know about!

I know that we're all cool with our choice of admitted listenening material around here. Now let's have the guilty stuff!

Just to prove that I'll stick by my own thread here. I'll start you off.

Dollar - Videotheque
Echo Beach - Martha & The Muffins (that could be considered cool)
Something Kinda Ohhh - Girls Aloud
Cruel Summer - Bananarama

That'll do for starters.

Don't be shy!!

Echo Beach is very cool

This has got me trawling through my I-tunes library and i have come up with these :-

Wind beneath my wings - Bette Midler
Passengers - Elton John
Graceland - Paul Simon
Kids in America - Kim Wilde

Not the usual Guitar bands that i tend to listen to

We're being very 'safe' with some great classics in there.

Telegraph Road is a great track. As is Kids In America.

You don't know what you're missing.

Admitedly, some of this stuff I couldn't stand as a kid. It just wasn't cool or I couldn't stand it! You also have to remember that we had to listen to it on medium wave radio (poor sound quality with no bass!). Listening to some of it now in all it's digital glory is quite refreshing.

And yes I am probably old enough to be your dad you cheeky scamp!!

Not sure why any of these are guilty pleasures. There are far worse around. Half of those mentioned I am quite happy to admit in public.

If any one mentions the Barbie song however, they need to hang their head in shame.
