Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
You know, when this was being overplayed on the airwaves of the San Francisco Bay Area, I found that this particular song had the same rhythm of a 1972 Continental(TM) Cab-Over truck pulling a 27' trailer at exactly 56 mph.
You don't want to know how I know this. Trust me. Roger -Dot- Lee, no, Really.

Are we all mad??????
Ye gods guys!
I guess there's nothing as odd as musical taste. This has been proven by the on going debate on the pros and cons of Classical Music and esp. the merits (or not) of Philip Glass. Ivan: Sorry mate but the Bee Gees don't really qualify as embarrasing. Their Album Odessa (released long before their disco masterpieces....did I say that?????) is superb. JRV: I DO own MJ's Thriller, and Bad and the Jackson's albums and ............ Rick: Nice to see another mention of DaDa. Their album Puzzle contains a number of excellent tracks and "I know a girl, who believes a girl, who believes she used to be a dog"...Woof, Woof! As for all this being the onset of Alzheimers. I'd forgotten about that. 'Even Now' there was 'A time in new England' when I was with 'Mandy' and I thought 'Could it be Magic?' Then 'Somewhere in the night' at the 'Cocacabana' I got the 'New York City Rythmn' and thought 'Where do I go from Here?' Nurse..................the screens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Dada's next record, "American Highway Flower", is real good too. I was to see them, and they had an "illness", and cancelled. Since then I've lost track of them.
In the vein of MJ, Prince has some decent stuff, although I don't own any. Speaking of Toto, I grew up listening to 70's radio - there are numerous songs to mention - "Jackie Blue", "How Long", "So Into You", anything by Sweet - I can still enjoy them, especially since the listening is so infrequent. Remeber "Magic" by Pilot? The lead in that tune sounds like Brian May. Watch the inclusion of Journey, Yesspaz may get you on that. Fogelberg has a song called "Power of Gold" that I really like. On a folk vein, John Gorka is very cool. I don't own any Til Tuesday, but I do have two Aimee Mann solo records, and they're GOOD. I still put on the first Foreigner CD. And yes, Styx is still a favorite. But I digress - that's down the path of old rock & roll. I'm sure everyone has a favorite Kiss tune. I'm waiting for mention of Leo Sayer. |

I thought I was embarrassed enough for liking Hawkwind.
Nothing wrong with liking the Ramones, Richard Hell, and so forth. But I blush to admit liking the Psychedelic Furs. Hidden classic from the new wave catalog: Tom Verlaine's Warm and Cool. All instrumental, very simple, wonderful music. My wife likes a lot of mid-70s radio rock so I find myself listening to "Radar Love," "Come Sail Away," and so forth. It's not so bad...better than Madonna or Eminem, anyway. Or Barry Manilow. (My dad calls him Barely Manenough.) |

But radar love is one of my fav tunes ((not an alltime fav but it's enjoyable enough for me).My other preferences are: Slayer (from my teen era) Jean Michel Jarre (from my preteen era) I have recently discovered Can, not guilty but good prog/electro. I like a lot of the old blues / blues rock pieces Goldemn Earring, Led Zep, Deep Purple etc. I despise modern talentless (apart from "showing your boobs") factory-pop. Sorry my list isn't as guilty as some of your lists

If Barry makes it on the playlist, I'm taking my CDs and going home. But, this has got to be the most entertaining thread in a loooong time. Thanks to everyone's shameless revelations. I've got one more - I've always loved the soundtrack to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", particularly the main theme. I know that California Guitar Trio covered it, but I'm talking about the original version... |
