Subject: Guilty Pleasure

Written By: Snoopygirl on 12/16/06 at 9:56 pm

I decided to post in this section because it can be from any decade and you can list more than one.
Who is your secret musical guilty pleasure? You know the artists that you love to listen to that you don't want anyone to know about? Or maybe people already know your favorite.

Mine is KC & the Sunshine Band. I have loved them since the mid 70's. Maybe that's why Get Down Tonight is one of my all time favorite songs.
I also love 70's music from the cheesy one hit wonders to the hard rock of that decade.

People don't know about my love for KC but they do know about the 70's music tho. My niece thinks that music is " icky".
Oh well, she's 17. She doesn't know good music. ;D

Sorry if this has been posted before.

Ok, ok, I admit it. I like The Partridge Family.


Several years ago, I was with one of my best friends in a grocery store. We were trying to "one up" each other:

Me: Well, I have the Partridge Family.

My friend: Well, I have the Bay City Rollers.

Me:  Well, I have Neil Sedaka.

My friend: Well, I have Shawn Cassidy.


This went on for awhile trying to come up with the most cheesiest music we had in our collections, making it sound like we were so proud to have them. Meanwhile, all around us, people were laughing (we laughed when we got to the car).

The British pop group Steps.  They existed from the late 90s til around 2001.  They went unknown here in North America, but being a follower of the UK chart, I discovered them.  It was cheesy teen pop music, but it was simple pop songs that are (as Philip Eno would say) "pleasant to the ear"

Back in 1999, I was such a geek, that I made a website about them  :-[
The website still exists, which is quite surprising since I lost the password, and haven't been there in over 6 years (the picture links still work, but the multimedia ones are broken)  ;D

ok, my guilty pleasures:

Cheesy,sappy love songs by just about anyone..

Artists that I consider a guilty pleasure are
Barry Manilow
John Denver
Olivia Newton-John (her sappy love songs are the best circa 1970s)
Neil Diamond

And cheesy chick flicks...when I'm feeling down.. My estrogen kicks in and I break out Steel Magnolias, Terms of Endearment, Stepmom, anything that will make me laugh and cry at the same time...

About Last Night , Last American Virgin.. oh and GREASE!!!


Oh and tv...

I own every season of Dawson's Creek on DVD.. and I particularly like to have Dawson/Paceythons when I'm sick with a cold or something and camped out on the couch with my Vicks and Orange Juice.


Food Guilty pleasures...
well this is sick.. but I crave chocolate around 'that time of the month' .. So I'll buy a tub of Milk Chocolate ready to spread frosting.. and when PMS kicks in... I treat myself to a spoonful of frosting. It usually does the trick.. and it works.. you can't eat too much of it cuz it's so rich so usually a spoonful is just enough.   ;D

Roxette
Paula Abdul
Belinda Carlisle
Wilson Philips
Heart

And I guess maybe Wham! is another guilty pleasure.

But probably my biggest guilty pleasure of all is that I used to like that Jason Donovan song "Too Many Broken Hearts" from 1989! That's just so embarassing!  ;D

You've actually answered your own question. A guilty pleasure for one is not for another. What makes it a
guilty pleasure? when it's outside the normal likes of an individual. I am heavily into progressive rock of the
70's, heavy metal and some goth rock.I have a deep disdain for 80's music, so for me, Tears For Fears is a
guilty pleasure.

I wouldn't say that you should feel guilty about liking Meatloaf, Dire Straits or Duran Duran. I LOVE Meatloaf myself (and know all the words to the Bat Out of Hell album). Saw him in concert once. He puts on one hell of show.

It's also seriously inaccurate.

Metal fans tend, on the whole... to be far more clued in than a lot of others. I'm not trying to blow my own horn here.. I'm so braindead it's not funny. But generally most people that seek out genres that aren't the most popular are usually the more intellectually gifted. A sign of boredom with society.

My husband is one of the most intelligent people I've ever known...and he loves metal, especially all of the weird, obscure bands.  That obviously proves your point.  You're pretty gifted yourself, even if you do eat rocks.

I heard her "Snowbird" song on the radio last week. It's been a long time since I heard that one. I was scanning through radio stations while driving -- a habit with me -- and caught some country station playing the top crossover hits (country to top-40 I guess) of all time.

Another guilty pleasure I just remembered is I always liked Waylon Flowers and Madame. That puppet always cracked me up when I was a kid and they were on The Hollywood Squares. My mom always said that puppet was the ugliest thing she ever saw.

I heard he was buried with Madame. Is this true? Then I heard she was put in a museum somewhere.

I recently downloaded a bunch of songs written by Burt Bacharach. Say A Little Prayer, The Look Of Love, Alfie, Always Something There To Remind Me and a few others. I love the sound of his songs. Not sung by him of course, but by Dionne Warwick, Jackie Deshannon, Dusty Springfield etc. So, I guess those are my guilty pleasure songs for the moment.

Singing along to any of the Brady Bunch singing albums...I remember when their albums were released on CD in the late 90's, I was manager of a CD/record store and put each one on at full blast, to the dismay of my staff and boy band customers  ;D (yes, I know I'm going to hell for that).

Really bad '70 films involving car chases, rollerskating or rollerdisco.

Segreams 7 mixed with Lemonade...
