Guilty Pleasures - Music - Guitars101

We all have guilty pleasures when it comes to music. Here are a few of mine:

Duran Duran - call me gay but they have some pretty good tunes with great hooks. John Taylor actually plays a pretty good bass.

Neil Diamond - His voice can be like a cheese-grater on my spinal cord but I really like a lot of his songs. "Love on the Rocks", "I am, I said", and "Cherry, Cherry" are classics.

Feel free to kick my ass now.

Okay man, you will feel Much less gay after hearing mine, I am a huge fan of 70's and early 80's cheese music.

ehem...
More than I can say (Leo Sayer)
Southern Nights (Glen Campbell)
Have You Never Been Mellow (Olivia Newton John - Don't care if she is 90 I still wanna spank her)
Afternoon Delight (Starlight Vocal Band)

These are just a few and I have a ton of mp3's, all of this sort of gay music. Now, I would perfer not to get my ass kicked as wip so graciously voluteered for. I will be keeping an eye out for you guys when I leave work so don't even think about it [img]images/smilies/icon_mad.gif[/img]

Heck, no need to be embarrassed! Having an appreciation for different styles/types of music is cool in my book. As for me....

I love big band music such as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, etc..

BLUEGRASS [img]images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif[/img] I love it!

Anything from Chet Atkins

I'm adding another guilty pleasure....

Bee Gees - the harmonies, the songwriting - sheer genius. They incorrectly got pidgeon-holed as a disco band and nothing could be further from the truth. They had a bevy of hits in the sixties and were relevant as late as 1997 with "Alone". Barry Gibb should be considered one of the best songwriters of the past 50 years regardless of music jenre.

Amen wip, I left them out of my first post but I am a huge fan of theirs. I recently got their two disc best of and it has most of their best stuff on it, even songs from way back before they were known for disco.

I agree that they got fucked over the disco thing, they were riding high at the time and didn't deserve that. They are truly a talented group and when Maurice died I felt it was a terrible loss, not only for his family but the fans too.

I also really enjoy Andy also "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" was a great song, the whole family was very talented.

Thanks Eric. To this day, "Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away)" is one of my favorite songs. Penned by Barry and sung by Andy, it's a pop masterpiece. [img]images/smilies/icon_dance.gif[/img]

Absolutely man, great song. I would have to say Nights On Broadway is probably at the top of a long list of favorites for me.

What is it, just you and me on this thread? C'mon people, I know someone out there loves the Backside Boys - ADMIT IT! [img]images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

**CanyonCarver** · 06-18-2003, 01:58 PM

I always loved big bands too!
Glen Miller rocked!

Chewi · 06-23-2003, 10:26 AM

Oh hell, I like all of the Smiths records as well as solo Morrisey. What does that sticker on my back say?

This might be the mother of all guilty pleasures:
