Comment:
ok, this is the first out of 2 more uptempo guilty pleasures, some of you may find them unbelivable bad or even not a GP at all just a good song, but in my world it's really hard to admit to like songs from Toto, Inxs, Van Halen or anything by Sting. Rubettes, Ricky Wilde, Paper Lace,Les Humphrie singers are all childhood memories, maybe they sound better when I don't hear them. any suggestions for next volume ?Feedback:
Les Humphries? Toto? INXS? Holy sheoot, dude, you must be really miserable . . . ;) Hope everything works out fine.
haha. I *LOVE* that inxs track.
I have a problem with the term "guilty pleasure" though I think I understand what you are saying. Its a peer pressure thing. In the early 70's when prog and metal became the vogue I could not talk about 60's pop without being laughed at. BTW I love the Police and Peter and Gordon tunes. And the Van Halen song. And being the hell raiser that I am, in the future I might post a U2 song that I like! How about calling this series "Songs I like to sing out loud"?
OK, well I somehow liked that Eddy Grant and Klaatu. P&G too.
or songs I'm to ashame to admit I like
maybe you should have quite while you were ahead. some of these songs make me homicidal, especially when heard as muzak in a department store...
Wow. I know what Papa means by "homicidal" when I think about, say, that Billy Joel song (or any Billy Joel song, really) and several others here. However, I LOVE the Klaatu song and I, too, like the Peter & Gordon, Police and (to a lesser extent) Van Halen tracks, along with "The Night Chicago Died." And I cringe when I write this, but that Right Said Fred song isn't the *worst* thing ever...
hope you're feeling a wee bit better! btw, if i wanted to purchase those songs from the past to hear at least once, well, i'd be guilty also. besides, that's why we grow up, isn't it???
that's the funny thing about superlatives like "worst" Rob...it may not be the worst thing ever but let's get one thing perfectly clear, Right Said Fred is pretty goddamned bad. That said, p has some massive cajones to admit to this abomination.
But most of you got to admit when you hear songs like this, you singalong or at least hum along
I can't say I even hear these songs anymore...except for the Van Halen song. That's bloody annoying.
Papa: I think the thing that saves that Right Said Fred song from my hatred (oh, the wrath!!!) is the fact that it obviously is not *trying* to be good or anything other than what it is... a dumb, insanely catchy dance song that is... well, danceable. :-)
Ectually, Right Said Fred were not that bad at all. Their "Deeply Dippy" would stack up nicely against almost any pop "classic". Bananarama would deffo be one of my GPs too.
Peter, I was with you on the first one...I can honestly say that I dislike everything here except the Police song.
Lord 'The Alleys You've run through!'I just can't get past the image of the Rubettes in white suits & white flat caps Peter lol. & with that I'll say no more!!!
Wow. I reject the notion of the Guilty Pleasure but some of these are pushing my limits.
oh 'africa'. not ashamed to admit i dig this mix.
Everyone knows I love Cher...Julie Covington was a good singer & her debut album is fantastic..love that Rubettes track, too...Deeply Dippy I agree with Santa Cruz...the rest I don't know or can't stand...hope yr ok P!
Hey that Right Said Fred album was actually pretty good. I mean it wasn't a masterpiece, but I got what I paid for.
I hated that Police song when it first came out, and I still hate it. However, the rest of this mix is really nice stuff which has me humming along while I read the track list. Hey p, I think you and I have chewed some of the same dirt together!
Yup, there's a lot to dislike here. 18 is nausea inducing, in fact. These are two embarrassing mixes, although, like I said on #1, I admire your bravery. (#6 has done me well, I should add, so even 'bad' music can be used for good!) When I graduated high school, my tastes took a sharp turn and never looked back. However, I'm sure we all have music we crank in the car (with the windows closed, of course) that rockets us back to our youths. Little of it, sadly, would we now class as 'good,' but it did the trick when we knew not what other aural landscapes there were to admire beyond our own mangy backyards.
Forget Right Said Fred- Color Me Badd? Jesus. You've gone too far this time P. Too far.
nice stuff.
brother, what a night it really was
brother, what a fight it really was...AAuuuggghhhh!!!!! it's going to stay with me for the rest of the day now. Thanks P!

I rather like that Bananarama opener-catchy that one, as well as the Klaatu, (with no guilt at all), and Paper Lace...
Les Humphries Singers, were they big in Sweden, too? They certainly were big in Germany and Switzerland. More than any other song on this mix, "Mexico" brings back lots of childhood memories for me.
Guilty as charged!
Great concept. But, I must admit, there a number of tracks which would be absolute torture to listen to.
Personally guilty for liking the Toto and Police tracks.

I'm not ashamed to say I like almost all of them but I love DARK LADY.
It's hard for me to comment because I don't recognize a single song on here. I need to get out more.
Billy Joel isn't guilty dude!!! nice mix
nothing to be guilty about! well, ok, maybe a few things. but definitely not "only women bleed."
Dark Lady is a wonderful song. I'm also partial to 9, 16 & 20.
