Subject: "Guilty Pleasure" Music

Written By: MMarkM63 on 10/06/02 at 06:44 a.m.

Everyone's got music, songs, artists that they are somehwat embarrassed to admit that they really enjoy.

What are yours?

I must admit, hard as it is to, that I really enjoy Pablo Cruise.

Good topic!

I don't mind admitting this on here, so here goes!

I have a thing for Whams Greatest Hits and also the old SAW Kylie Monogue stuff :s.

Oh well, I can't listen to The Smiths, The Clash and the Jam all of the time :)

Not over here, Bus Fudge-it, you'd have had no worries... what with the cover versions and whatnot...

Outside of this board, the fact that I like Bon Jovi is a shameful secret.

I could tell after I saw you answer most of the lyrics in that ABBA quiz a little while back, Fuss! ;D ;)  I love their music myself!



BTW, MMarkM63...I think Pablo Cruise were an incredibly talented band!  Their hit song "Love Will Find A Way" is on my favorites list!! 8)

Now for the ones that I will admit to liking...

I know I'm gonna hear flack for this one, but I like "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots!  It was just one of those fleeting songs that came and went without barely a whisper.

I also like KC & The Sunshine Band's music and even a few songs by  :-XThe Village People:-X !

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Could be right except the line when played in Brisbane stated "Don't worry he's only from Ipswich" got the city of Ipswich howling and the line cut from the show. I'm from Ipswich and I was deeply embarrassed to read about that.....
I think they replaced Ipswich with Logan

Okay, you can laugh at me, but I always liked Neil Diamond (and one day I'm going to buy a cd of his).  His songs have very good lyrics.

OMG where to start......

First off, I can relate to the Bon Jovi thing...I just decided to say F*** it...you like who YOU like and I'll like Bon Jovi okay? ;)

I also love Neil Diamond......went and saw him on Friday night for the 3rd time and do an impersonation of him in my show...

I also am a fan of ABBA....

But the one I get the most flak for...and I'll probably take a LOT of heat here for it.....and I beg you don't tell my Jovi buddies (bonjovifan I'll pay you to keep it quiet!!! LOL).....

I like Barry Manilow! Okay? I've said it! Yes, Barry Manilow!

OMG shock horror! And I thought liking Wham was bad ;D. j/k - I know quite a few people who have a soft spot for him, even though I personally don't like his music. Found one of my mums old LP's of his the other day too!

I like ABBA alot too - I can't recall all their hits rite now but I know I liked the hits at least.  I definitely love "Dancing Queen", sorry - it always reminds me of my sister, too!   :)

I'm pretty sure I liked KC alot - again, having trouble recalling which is which.  I always confused them w/Kool&the Gang (by name, if not by songs).   :-[

And I *LOVE* the Village People!   ;D  The other nite I was singing the YMCA along w/the radio, and last year my sister had a boatload of us - adults and kids - in her car and on came "In the Navy" - we adults were all singing loudly and gesticulating - and embarrassing those poor teeny-boppers!  (I think the little kids were having some fun w/it too.)

I like Neil Diamond too!  I like his old stuff and his slightly-newer stuff.

And I like Barry Manilow!  I can't think of 1 of his many hits I didn't like!  However, the other year he was trying a comeback album - and it just wasn't the same.  When I heard 1 of the songs trying to launch on the radio, I knew it wouldn't hold water in public.  Sure enough, haven't heard anything from his last album on radio again.

Not quite so loud, but I couldn't do any better right now than to sing along... Whoops, I've said too much. Smithers, use the amnesia ray!

I'm a typical 70s rock musician; you know, cut my teeth in the biker bars playing Skynyrd, Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, etc. covers, and I would have been beheaded if my buds ever found out that I was a closet KC & The Sunshine Band fan.
P.S. Great thread!

I'm so glad to see the many closet Abba fans!  A couple of months ago I saw the production "Mamma Mia" which included 22 Abba songs.  It was fan smegging tastic and I've had Abba Gold playing eversince.!!
