Guilty pleasure corner

Amazing song, and thats coming from me, a guy who bores people to tears talking about Captain Beefheart

ICBM

Great song - like most of their entire output - shouldn't be a guilty pleasure!

Although it's not the album this is off, The Innocents is one of my all-time favourites.

It's a while since I've seen one of these too…

Erasure are great!  Sometimes is one the greatest songs ever written.  

Alnico

ABBA.
Right now in my truck, blasting out on an empty industrial estate beside the Thames Barrier.
Tomorrow morning at 4am as I'm leaving Woolwich behind and heading for the (now open) Dartford tunnel, it's going to be the EPIC, original......
War of the World's !

Aside from them, it's Sarah Mclaughlin, England Dan and John Ford Coley (Pick up the pieces ) (NOT the same song as the average white band), The Captain and Tenille, Randy Crawford, Kim Carnes, Judi Tzuke, Alan Parsons, The Vapours, Toy Dolls, Moody Blues, .................

I will be back when I've dug some more out.

For those who remember some of the above, enjoy your evening on You Tube.

At the moment...

I quite like some of Phill Collins' stuff. Great vocals on Mama.

Technically that's Genesis . And that's a very good album.

I agree though - at least about some of his earlier solo stuff.

For what it's worth none of this is 'guilty pleasure' material for me. I don't have guilt about anything I like .

Jordin Sparks, two years after she won American Idol, teaming up with a pre-assault Chris Brown on a song written by a team of four writers - that's one writer per chord.

No guilty pleasures for me. 

I like all sorts of cheesy pop music. I've done rock covers of ABBA in a couple of bands.

I don't feel at all guilty but it's a real pleasure. Can I get a pass? Muscle Shoals House Band playing.

I love this song so much:

Octahedron

Avril Lavigne - but only the 2nd album. Nickelback - but only albums prior to All the Right Reasons. Some of Taylor Swift's songs...

The 4th one (Goodbye Lullaby) is pretty good too.

'Style' is fantastic. Not so keen on most of the rest I've heard.

Not a guilty pleasure, I just wanted to post the clip (again)

Lana del Ray...sorry :-\"

Yup, love that.

T'Pau and Transvision Vamp for me...big school boy crushes might be the reasons there.

From this week's charity shop round…

Holly Valance (Footprints) and Selena Gomez (Kiss & Tell)

Selena Gomez is better - a bit like Avril Lavigne, typical very well produced girly power-pop. Holly Valance is so-so and might end up going back. Got Taylor's Swift's 'Red' for my daughter too but I'm not so keen on that, most of her songs I don't like seem to be on that one.

Even though it was bastardised for a Yellow Pages ad, I've always liked this.The song itself has an interesting history.
