Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Guilty pleasures. . .

Aren't you the one who likes ABBA?

My guiltiest pleasure is probably Cat Stevens or a couple Dixie Chicks songs I've somehow allowed myself to enjoy.

Actually, nothing wrong with either one of those. I have been going over and over my stuff and I can't come up with anything I'm really em bare assed about. I guess the closest thing I could come up with was Dave Clark 5. I relistened to their double greatest hits that was released a few years ago and I feel redeemed. They were really very good for their time. The Beatles were huge back then but I liked the DC5 and the Stones. I only apppreciate the Beatles when Rubber Soul came out. I have since gone back and love the Beatles early stuff. I'm more of a John Lennon fan than anything. But it is hard to listen to the Beatles and not appreciate how amazing they were.

The Dave Clark 5 had some really good stuff. Most people could probably recognize the songs but not the band.

It's been a little over a year -- I guess we're due to rehash this topic again.

Cyndi Lauper's first album still stands for me. You want a breathtaking performance? Spend the money and pick up Cyndi's "Live - At Last" DVD.

Thanks for the heads up on the Cyndi Lauper 'Live' DVD, I remember reading a while back that this was indeed a very good concert.

Would having owned a Leif Garrett album back in the day be considered an embarrassing moment? *Not* that I've ever actually owned one or anything. Just curious.

I know, I know. Mark already called me out on that one. Geez, I wasn't even a member then. . .just one of those innocent lurkers.

Well, my most embarrassing album used to be "Extreme II : Pornograffiti" (wow... Nono Butterball and Gary Cherone - that's pure rock!!) until I gave it away.

Now? Chantal Kreviazuk? Golden Earring? Meat Loaf (BOOH, Dead Ringer, BOOH2BIH)? Alanis Morrisette?

Probably one of those.

Okay, I'll play(sort of, with no guilt), although it'll have to be in a different genre. Some classical snobs view with disdain things like Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Bolero, Gliere's Ilya Murometz, Shostakovich's 7th Symphony and others, all of which I have multiple copies and enjoy greatly. It seems that some have the view that if it's popular with the general classical audience that it must be trash.

Ok, I'll admit it then.

I have a copy of "The three Tenors"

...yeah, and even Disneys' "Fantasia"
