Guilty Pleasures

[JamesEagle]

 

Dire Straits as guilty pleasure? C'mon, their first three albums are rock classics. Great stuff indeed.

 

In which case Dire Straits are a 'guilty hate' for me!

"Into The Groove makes my top 5 beyond a doubt. OK... I better stop now.

 

That's definitely a guilty one, Madonna at her cheesiest!

 

Reckon I can trump you though, how about:

 

Kriss Kross - Jump

Okay, the Madonna stuff and anything else here I can handle (who doesn't mind a bit of Madonna if it's all the radio can muster up?! ) but mate, do you seriously like that Kriss Kross song? That, I dare say, is getting a bit too guilty.

Off with his head or at least his ears.

I'm suddenly feeling like I have nothing to feel guilty about with Madonna. Thanks James... you really brightened my day.

[JamesEagle]

C'mon peeps, how bout some damn video clips???

 

MTV first went on the air when I was 11 years old, so I grew up watching it about sixteen hours a day. Therefore in addition to its planting the Metal Seed in my pre-teen brain thanks to regular rotation of early Priest, Saxon and Maiden vids, I also developed a fondness for the cheesy '80s synth pop of the day.

 

So therefore I don't feel "guilty" about liking any of these at all, but since none are "metal" in the slightest they have caused me to be subjected to some ribbing from my tr00er-than-thou friends over the years.

 

Mind you I don't own any CDs by these artists, but I don't rush to change the station when their songs come on the radio either.

and of course, my 25+ year crush on Samantha Fox is well documented so we don't need to go there.

 

I could go on and on but you get the idea....

Rio-Duran Duran

Toy Soldiers-Martika

Planet Earth-Duran Duran

 

All three of these are great songs! If they count as guilty pleasures, my list would run for about 10 pages! Plus you mentioned Thompson Twins - 'Doctor Doctor' is an absolute favourite of mine. I think you guys are holding back; come on fellas, share the shame!

The first 3 Duran Duran discs are excellent - nothing guilty about those whatsoever.

Some nice stuff there mate. I have always liked Huey's stuff and the 'Sports' album especially is great.

 

The Buggles 'Plastic Age' album is really a very good Pop/Electronic album and one of my faves from back in the day. Still play it ocassionally and have it on my Zen aswell. Great pop.

 

That Frida track is a killer, especially the much longer Album version. It was written by Russ Ballard, featuring Phl Collins on drums and a great solo from Daryl Steurmer (Genesis etc). Once again, The whole album is well worth getting.
