Comment:

Lame mix of the week or Songs you hate to love. The british journalist Sean Rowley, famous from the cover of (What's the story) Morning glory, have made 2 cds full of stuff you shouldn't suppose to like and they are wonderful, check them out, I bought mine at Amazon UK, this is my version of it, this is the ballad edition, next one are more uptempo, which song would you include if you did a mix like this ?

You're pushing it p!!! I do admit to liking Ahas second & third album which have a doomy Nordic feel to them..& 12 & 13 I can listen to..& I'm a Dolly fan...I can't think of any guilty pleasures off hand but I'm sure my mixes are full of them...I love Bon Jovi's Dead Or Alive...I like REM..I LIKE Nirvana & Pearl Jam & I still like much of The Doors....in truth if I like something I don't care what other people think...anyway, P, I hope things turn round for you..maybe the spring will bring forth new opportunities..take care.

In one of those countless "Read these things, they are funny" e-mails we get, one immediately comes to mind while looking over this mix: I don't care what other people think. They don't do it enough for me to worry about. Guilty Pleasures (also the title of an Anita Blake novel!) should be a separate catagory, and I may have to put one together myself!

Tough question. Maybe something by Savage Garden?

Numbers 12 and 13 are HUGE guilty pleasures for me.
I hope everything turns out OK for you, Peter. Like the others said: Spring is a time of renewal, for nature and people.

The only song here I really like is Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" (which I deeply despised at the time). And as for GPs: "Seasons in the Sun", maybe . . . or "Silly Love Songs" . . . or some really atrocious Rod Stewart ballad like "Tonight's the Night" . . . Jeez, there's a truckload.

Peter - suddenly I am not feeling so guilty about my Guilty Pleasures mix. But I still have that Climax song permanently burned to it, like one final kick in the ass to closw with. I do like the Foreigner song.

Lame is right. Most of these songs are so lightweight that I'm surprised they even stuck to the CD! I can't think of any guilty pleasure ballads -- except for maybe Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here."

You're a brave man with a soft creamy filling, P. Can't wait to see the uptempo edition.

good idea with this mix - I have to say, however, that I really hate some of these! I'm not sure that I am brave enough to open up to this scrutiny! Fair play to you!

I make it a point that I never leave a negative comment on any mix but...I hope to god I never have to hear that Foreigner track ever again!

I think I hate every one of these songs with a passion, although I'd probably grant the Supertramp and Wham songs a slightly smaller reprieve. I hope that everything goes better for you soon.

"...which song would you include if you did a mix like this ?"
I guess the electronic/ambient equivalent would be stuff like Hot Butter's Popcorn or Gary Numan's Cars...or something by, ugh...Yanni; & the Jazz version would be a Single Artist mix of Kenny G tunes.

Peter, sorry things are so rough for you. Don't forget to breathe deeply. And in the meantime, whatever gets you through the nigh!

Excellent. I don't see where the guilt comes in? (Except for "Tears in Heaven". If you like that song, you are not only guilty, you are worthy of the death penalty ;)

The only one I can agree with here is the Supertramp track - but they have songs I like way better...
