Guilty pleasures

Should I open this can of worms?

Should I open this can of worms?

Almost exactly 3 years later, I think you should

Provided that nobody stoops as low as anything by Black Lace, The Smurfs, anything by football teams or 'Disco Duck', then what's the harm?

 

[DCarmi]

Are you both too scaredy-cat to start the conversation with examples?

My personal random stuff playlist has a few. When I was very young, I used to love the Monkees TV show. I have been know to stick them on using closed-back headphones only.

 

[Revolutions]

The Carpenters.

 

[jjbomber]

Aerosmith - Nine Lives. Supposedly their worst album but I love it.
Led Zeppelin - Presence. Listen with headphones to all the guitar overdubs. Sounds way better.
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden - Gettysburg Trilogy. OK, it's a 30 minute song, in 3 joined up parts. The Ripper Owens era isn't looked at fondly, but this is the one for me.

Korean and Japanese series on Netflix. Just finished watching Gyeongseong Creature part 1

The Carpenters.

No need for any guilt with them.
(Liked by many of us, with good reason).

Yep, without doubt I class Karen as possibly the best white female vocalist ever. With Richard's arrangements they are an amazing duo and get regular play in my house.

I could give you so many examples you'd wish you hadn't asked

I've got loads described as Guilty Pleasures, but not by me, they're just favourites that I've always liked.

I'll start you off with 'When You Are A King'
Done by White Plains in 1971 but, for extra GP value, here's a better looking version (who couldn't fancy the lead vocalist here?)
....you'll soon be singing along with the four and twenty blackbirds

We already know our tastes are very similar Gray, unfortunately The Nolan's are just a step too far for me, hence why I can't give you a Like for that post

This was a fave of mine before I even knew Abba wrote it:

"I'm In The Mood For Dancing"

One more for now.
One for the rockers (and those who remember LWT)

BOWIE... idolised him in my teens and throughout my life.

If I have to pick a song, so many so many... The man is a legend.
Ok. Here's my pick.

I'd probably have to go with Sound And Vision.
Again, no real guilty pleasure with most of his stuff (excluding The Laughing Gnome ).
