Guilty pleasures- music edition
For a little lighthearted coming clean... what are your guilty music pleasures? The ones you'd never admit to friends you listen to, but, when you're by yourself, you may have been known to belt along to.
For me... it's the Grass Roots. I don't think they were even a real band, so much as a revolving door of studio musicians, but I am a sucker for the overuse of a brass section. Okay, there's my midnight confession. Sooner or later, you all will fess up yours. Don't keep it to yourself; live for today. I can only hope I have given an earworm to a few of our members who were around when the Grass Roots were recording.

I voted for The Dave Clark Five as better than the Beatles

I know I'm playing on a different field than a lot of DT-ers, if the What Are You Listening To? thread is any indication. If "coming clean" is about listening to the Grass Roots? I've actually posted a youtube video or two of them in that thread. More than half of my collection (CDs and vinyl) would probably raise questions about my geezerdom in many eyes here. Still, there are a few songs by Glen Campbell and . . . (gasp) . . . Barry Manilow that I have to admit I really enjoy when it's just me and the dogs.
I love this video, complete with 60s babe. As if the lyrics needed to be illustrated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WpU4p3MaOs And who else could adapt Chopin to a pop song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDEynk7SwxE |

For a guilty pleasure for which I was around during their heyday... i also, erm, at some point may have purchased Asia's Greatest Hits. And I've watched the Chatroulette version of "Call Me Maybe" at least fifteen times. Because it's AWESOME.

"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a great pop song.

Rainy Days and Mondays was the very first song I ever sang on karaoke, out in some dive bar in the midwest.
I was terrible.

Surprised you didn't like 3 dog night. Paul Williams wrote Old Fashioned Love Song. Have no clue who wrote the others.

tough voice to follow as kAREN CARPENTER WAS ONE OF THE GREAT VOICES THE COUNTRY HAS EVER PRODUCED, someone shoulda smoked some good green with her and got her eating again. Tragic loss. Not my kind of music, but that voice was incredible |

Eating disorders are a terrible mental illness because sufferers are so resistant to treatment. And I don't know that they're ever really cured; just controlled. In a high stress career like music, and because we didn't know much about anorexia nervosa then... just such a shame.
