Guilty pleasures

First topic message reminder :

Is there an album you love even though you know it's naff as hell? Let's put 'cool' to one side and be honest about things!

My guilty pleasure is Year of the Cat by Al Stewart. Good tunes, great musicianship, an excellent album all round, even though it's so middle of the road you can hear the white lines on it.

Hero, they come out with good pop music, simple as that. Most of the Sugababes' stuff is really good, too.

Except that awful Here Come The Girls song

Let Loose - Crazy for You!! I loved that song! Not sure if I actually have it anywhere but I am seriously tempted to download it onto my ipod.

Weren't they the sisters of one of Boyzone ?

Smart E's: Sesames Treet
Shamen: Ebeneezer Goode
S Express: Theme from S Express
Urban Hype: Trip to Trumpton
Temple of Dreams - Messiah
Utah Saints-Something Good

I like all of them!

Iv'e just found Vic Reeves - Dizzy

On that note...Wonderstuff's : Size of a Cow

Vic Reeves and Dizzy is just great. If that doesn't get people up and doing the most random dancing and shouting Dizzy I don't know what will. Size of a cow is a great shout Hero.

Some other strange pleasures:

Push The Feeling On - Nightcrawlers
Saturday Night - Whigfield
Saint Etienne - He's On The Phone

MTV Classic to their credit played a stonker earlier.....Deacon Blue - Real Kid Gone

Isnt it Real Gone Kid?

It is

Jebus! I remember seeing them perform that track "live" at the Radio One Roadshow in Tenby in about 1992. I got sick on the bus and it was boiling hot

Some other classics there. The Wonderstuff were fantastic. I've got their album "Never Loved Elvis". Ned's Atomic Dustbin were superb as well....oh I'm going to have to play them now

Sesame Street- I don't want to live on the moon.

Found 2 more that you just cant get out your head once they are there

Westworld - Sonic Boom Boy

and

Red Box - Lean on Me

Kenny - I've got the Red Box album that track is on. It's pure pop! I remember Westworld (what happened to them?) but preferred their song "Silver Mac" I think it was called...

I have 'Love of the Loved' by Cilla Black on my iTunes. I don't care what anyone thinks, it's a cracking tune!

Dragostin Din Tei by O'Zone.

I googled Red Box and the reformed last year and released an album called Plenty , I didn't remember Westworlds Silvermac so just watched it on youtube , prefer sonic boom boy .

Another guilty pleasure of mine is The Muppet Show album - just for Manah Manah and Halfway Down The Stairs.

And Joe Le Taxi by Vanessa Paradis...

The Top Gun Soundtrack .........Dangerzone , Playing with the boys , whatever happened to Kenny Loggins? ( dont get me started on Footloose) .

Anyway can't stop got to find my Rayban Aviators got a volleyball game before my next flight .

I've got some cracking '80s cheesy soundtracks - Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club, St Elmo's Fire, Less Than Zero, Say Anything...

Nothing wrong with The D! Okay they're a comedy band, but the fact they're so OTT actually makes them cool (I think).

What skeletons have I got lurking in my CD collection?

Big Country - Through A Big Country
Enya - Watermark & Paint the Sky with Stars
Duran Duran - Greatest
The Corrs - Forgiven not Forgotten
Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow
Rush - 2112

Nothing wrong with Big Country and Duran Duran!!

I draw the line at The Corrs though. Only because I used to work in record shop when Talk On Corners came out and I had to listen to it 1000 times a day.

Anyone who puts Rush - 2112 in their "guilty pleasures" category has some serious problems with their definitions. It's probably the best CD in your collection - you just don't know it yet

I have all of Blondies early albums. Debbie Harry oh yeah

Oh come on! Blondie are not a gulity pleasure! They're fantastic!! We're supposed to be putting coolness aside...

I am one of those people that rarely leaves his genre of music. I have no guilty pleasures, don't want either.

Yeah Blondie aren't a guilty pleasure, they're just a pleasure full stop.

Some of my last few years guilty pleasures though...

Tinie Tempah - Pass Out
Usher - OMG
Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers
Katy Perry - California Gurls
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
Keisha - Tick Tock

I've unashamedly got The Corrs in my record collection.

Tinie Tempah and Dizzee Rascal are not guilty pleasures. They're great artists.

Lady Gaga is my massive guilty pleasure right now.

Swagger Jagger......

Seriously, it has an awesome beat. The chorus kinda sucks but if Cheryl Cole recorded it, the press would be fapping away uncontrollably.

I find myself singing it

You and me are so in sync.

Sorry I just can't agree. It is TERRIBLE.

That could be because I'm forced to listen to a naff radio station at work that plays it about 30 times per day.

G-g-g-g-get on the floor......

I must be the only person who hasn't heard this song. It seems I've had a lucky escape perhaps...

Another one for me is Toxic by Britney Spears. Just a great pop song.

Anything by The KLF - especially Justified and Ancient (mine's a 99)

Davie - The KLF were actually quite cool. The White Room's not a bad album, but my fave track of theirs was "It's Grim Up North".

Cari, I haven't heard it either - and I'm in no rush whatsoever to change that!

The KLF were great.

I heard swagger jagger on the radio yesterday and thought it was awful but i dont like Cher Lloyd annoying little ............ .

KLF were great though .

I will try

I've got the vinyl single for that.

Also, while I'm a big fan of Rush, don't you think (looking at it objectively) that the sci-fi influences in a lot of their work is a tad geeky? Being a sci-fi geek myself I have no problem with this, but playing it to other people might get you some funny looks.


Oh, just thought of another GP.

Anyone else out there with the vinyl single for Arnee & the Terminaters - I'll Be Back?





Just me then, is it?
