    I must confess to really liking 2 Little Boys by Rolf Harris. 
    I bet his CDs are REALLY cheap now...

  • for me it usually follow a break up or some intense situation. like part of an 'emotion lag'.

    days, weeks, months later, you think you are sorted out and over it and apparently back to your fabulous old arrogant and reckless old self, listening to all the cool and sussed things you usually listen to...

    then suddenly, when you least expect it (on the cab radio that takes you to the station, or background music in a shop, etc) something totally anodyne and usually far too-obvious for you to ever normally be interested in comes onto the radio and you just go.
    tears for england and you end up going to bed for a week.

    and it's so often one of these kinda songs and not the stuff i usually listen to that sets me off.
    it's a really weird phenomena. but that's where most of these originate for me.

    maybe other people know what i'm talking about. 'trigger songs'.

    Robert Miles - One & One (Original Version) ft. Maria Nayler

    Natalie Imbruglia - Torn (Official Video)


    U2 - With Or Without You

  • So here goes

    Bee Gee's
    who I hated in the 70's with a passion now I hear them for the beautifully crafted songs they are.

    Lana Del Rey
    any one who writes the lyric "you fit me better than my favourite sweater" and a host of lyrical indulgence gets my vote.

    Any Philly Soul from the 70's Gamble & huff
    well crafted pop at its best again hated it in the 70's

    Land finally the set C lol did at Daryl House it has a million hits of which at leat 1/4 are from me all the songs are great and the band is just on the money.

    My tastes are so record store geek that I have no problem admitting I like pop music like Destiny's Child, Kylie etc.

    I'm more embarrased to admit that I love U2's Joshua Tree and Pop albums because everyone thinks Bono is such a tosser.

    That's only because he is.

    Doesn't mean he can't make good music though ;)

    Now we’ve found out he’s a tax avoider perhaps everyone was right.

    The questionnaire for those at the top of our society, be they entertainers, moguls or elected officials obviously runs...

    Are you?

    A: A tax avoider?
    B: A sexual predator?
    C: Both?
    D: Neither?

    Answering D results in instant rejection of your application.

    I sort of get sort of don't get the guilty pleasures thing ( I share an office with people who are unembarrassed about watching X Factor but didn't know who Led Zeppelin were ) as almost any response just demonstrates how out of touch I am with modern popular music since about 1979.
    However, on the Chipmunks I do have a Canned Heat compilation somewhere which includes Christmas Boogie by the Heat and the small furry ones and it's pretty much my favourite track on there. I'm a sucker for novelty shite. 
    Had to find that one!

    Classic. Canned Heat did appear to have Ron Jeremy in their line up on those photos.

    The video to Demi Lovoto's "Sorry Not Sorry" makes me want to have a guilty pleasure...

    I don't have any 'guilty pleasure' music - I just like what I like, and if someone else thinks it's not cool then that's their problem. Which includes most of what's been mentioned so far :).

    The only one that I would have a problem admitting I liked is Rolf Harris, but thankfully I've never liked that song. I don't like Shania Twain either, but I wouldn't be embarrassed if I did.
