When it comes to music what is your guilty pleasure? Mine is that I love the Red Hot chilli peppers, I know that most everybody likes them. But the deal is that I for so long hated their image. So I finally fessed up I like every song they put out.
Heh Heh the Monkees huh? It's Grand Funk Railroad for me Mattbro, if you want a sampling of vintage bubblegum music, try this list that I downloaded for a traveling CD I'm telling you now - Freddie and the dreamers Can't you hear my Heartbeat - Herman's Hermits Yummy Yummy - Ohio Express Bus Stop - Hollies Hair - The Cowsills Secret Agent and Seventh Son - Johnny Rivers Venus - Shocking Blue Sidewalk Surfing - Jan and Dean Incense and Peppermint - Strawberry alarm clock Wooly Bully - Sam the sham and the Pharoahs plus some Monkees Some of it isn't really bubblegum, but they all had long runs on AM radio in the 60's and they're good little ditties Interesting bit of trivia - Steve Stills (of Crosby Stills and Nash) is a good friend of Peter Tork, they went together to the Monkees tryout. Luckily, Stills wasn't what they were looking for.
Re: Heh Heh the Monkees huh? Hey, that looks like a good CD! I know most of the names but only a couple of the songs. Thanks, I'll check 'em out.
A few years ago when all you heard on the radio was Backstreet Boys' "That Way", my friends and I got the entire bar singing along to it on the juke box. Scary thing was, everyone knew the words.
Mine must be the worst on the thread: I actually like 'get free' by the vines, and i generally hate overly hyped bands...
Hey, ain't no shame in it, I like a lot of BsB songs. My band does a killer cock rock version of Larger Than Life.
i possess a soundtrack to a movie other than singles... granted, it was a present, but i've found i enjoy a couple of songs on it the wedding singer (vol 2, i think... it's got the "kill me please" song)
My guilty pleasure is singer/songwriters from the 70's like Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, etc. They always bring back memories of long car rides down to the Jersey Shore in the back of a station wagon. Murf
You too?? Wow - does that ever take me back. August would come, and the whole family would pile into the Buick Estate Wagon for the long haul on down to Wildwood. The sun would be shining, the traffic crawling, and Mom, Dad, Bucky, Maryann and me would all be belting out 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' for all NJ to hear. Good times, man...good times.
I know. I know. I understand what you are saying but it has nothing to do with the artistic quality of the work. Those type of songs just bring back a glut of detailed memories from my childhood that are fun to remember. I guess that is what makes them guilty pleasures. Murf
I bought 2 cds on Saturday...India Arie(R&B) and Martina McBride(Country). I guess my mind was a wanderin' Funny thing is that I have listened to the cds and I actually enjoyed them. How silly is that?
