What is your musical "guilty pleasure"?

I think I still have her album in vinyl.

ALL of my first albums were Motown.  I don't think I ever heard any Motown soul that I didn't love.

Me too, Cranky.

When the rest of the country was listening to the Beatles, it was Motown all the way here.

Remember Mary Wells?

"Nothing you can say will tear me away from my guy, nothin you can do cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy, "

Okay, okay, nostalgia is overcoming me.

OMG! THAT was the very first record I ever bought.

My first 45 was Marie Osmond.... Paper Roses.

I had other music handed down to me from my MUCH older sister.

My first 45's were actually bought for me:  Rumplestiltskin and Gene Autry's *Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer*. 

Still have 'em, too!

(by guilty pleasure, I assume we're sharing songs we're kind of embarrassed to like--since they go against our usual tastes? Or other people might poke fun at them?).


I like Herbie Hancock's Future Shock LP, with "Rockit." The first all-electronica album ever produced (in the 70s). Lots of cheesy turntable scratching, but some really cool and innovative stuff on there, too. It would probably kill most teenagers.

The Monkees. Most especially the stuff that was NOT on TV (some artsy type of stuff).

I have several CDs of Rag music that other people think is totally cornball. I like it. LOL.

(and the most embarrasing of all--somewhere inside I like STYX).


Edited to add: I once caught part of a Britney Spears almost-electronica type song on the radio and thought, "hey--this is pretty good? Who's this?" D'oh!

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me

Oh Life could be a dream, (Shaboom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above, (Shaboom)
If you tell me I'm the only one that you love (Shaboom)
Life would be a dream sweetheart

Shaboom, shaboom, yada da da da da
