Guilty Pleasures!

[viscount17]

I'd have to list the content of my MP4 - all 1684 tracks

real mixture including Kylie, Pink, Madonna, Lily Allen, Blondie, practically everything of Stevie Nicks that I can find, mixed in with Dire Straits, Steppenwolf, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Stones, Genesis, Queen - the list is, almost, endless

Not exactly guilty pleasures of today - I don't do peer pressure at my age.

But back in the days when I was a punk, I NEVER admitted to liking Eagle by ABBA.

Don't know if this counts either. I had an old 60s mix artists album ( a gift from an aunt when I was about 8 ) that was so old it predated TOTP albums. One track was Ned Miller's 'From a Jack to a King'. Hadn't listened to it for years.
Got dragged into a pub one Saturday lunchtime - it was a regular meet up pub for the local Chelsea contingent before they wandered up to Stamford Bridge. Happened to see Ned on the juke box, and couldn't resist putting him on for a giggle. Lot's of jeering and abuse later I forgot about it.
A couple of weeks later I popped in again on a Saturday lunchtime, and No.1 choice on the 'box was.... Ned.
See, even Chelsea fans have some decent tastes.

Ever since then it's gone down as a fave. Along with Paul and Paula's brill track, 'Hey Paula'. But that was used in the Wanderers, so I don't know if it counts.

Also Dan Hartman - Instant Replay, counts as a guilty pleasure, yet Lipps Inc - Funkytown, is a genuine classic. Don't ask me why the difference.

This is really sad but was brought up listening to Barry Manilow my mother played his albums constantly. Growing up Wham ,Howard Jones and Kajagoogoo and have been on YouTube and listen to them constantly.
Favourites- Wham Every Thing She Wants ( Fila tracksuit and Diadora trainers on smart as).
Kajagoogoo Too Shy
Howard Jones What is love ,Pearl in the Shell

Them were the days.
Forgot to add Hi Energy Disco tunes Hazel Dean , Hernandez lol

How many of you remember Quarterflash's Harden My Heart or Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days?

Sheer quality.

Echo Beach is a winner too

Mate, this song is one of my guilty pleasures, but whenever i hear it now - all I can think of is the episode of Family Guy when Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe sing their hearts out - enjoy !

Quality tune my 14 year old son watches Family Guy and found that tune on a mix cd he plays it the car on the way to school and sings to it as well, total niightmare he's tone deaf.
Would never admit to Wigfield - Saturday Night , you've took that to far

 

[Atticus_Finch]

At the moment, I'm listening to a lot of 80's electropop.
OMD, Depeche Mode, Erasure.
Basically anything with Vince Clarke in.

I've not listened to it in a long time though...

As I have already scrabed the barrel and ruind what little reputation I have I may as well add I also have the following albums:

Shampoo
Bananarama
Commodores

I'll write my resignation from the message board letter this afternoon

Good call....I was meant to see Depeche Mode at the O2 at the end of May but it's been rescheduled due to Dave Gahan's illness. They (and Vince Clark) are legends of electro-pop!

(Other electro-pop and 80's bands are available)

As a former new romantic I'd add in the works of Japan into the electro greats

I guess that Spandex Ballet - Gold counts then. It's my favourite Singstar song. Damn! That was supposed to be a guilty pleasure in itself!

 

[Adrena1in]

John Barrowman - What About Us?
Susan Boyle - I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, the YouTube video...fantastic.
James Blunt - Carry You Home, (makes me well up!)
Abba - Fernando and Chiquitita.
Katie Perry - I Kissed a Girl, (and I liked it)...once in my head I can't stop singing it, although I don't really like it!

Can't think of any more, though I'm sure there are plenty!
