Guilty Pleasures In Your Music CollectionFollow

#1 Jun 17 2004 at 11:52 AM Rating: Decent
Everyone has one: that CD you hide when people come over to visit, that subcatagory on your MP3 playlist you try to pass off as default music in your player, or just a hideous song that pops on to the radio that you find yourself humming along to. The Question is: are you brave enough (or sado-masocistic enough) to admit that here?
I've got nothing to lose, these are ones off the top of my head:
-David Lee Roth- Skyscraper
-Zebra- Self Titled
-New Wave Party Hits (complete w/ flourescent pink and green polka dot case....goodbye cruel world)
-Oh yeah, and everything by Yes.

Thank You

Well damn you guys are fine in my book. I've never heard any of those songs and sure as hell don't know half the artists.

You're ashamed to have Louie Armstrong music in your collection?

Guilty pleasures, eh? You mean like the Carpenter's Greatest Hits or the Star Trek music collection?

I don't hide them though. They just hang out with the other, hipper records and cds.

I'm not ashamed of it, but some people just don't understand why I have Harry Connick Jr. CDs and MP3s.

Air Supply
Every time I hear the line "I can make all the stadiums rock", I laugh and say to the speakers "Yeah. Sure you can."

Which is my way of admitting I have a couple AS mp3's. Back in the day, Air Supply's Greatest Hits was one of about five albums my parents owned so I spent a lot of time listening to it. It takes me back to simpler days.

I have an embarassing collection of lengthy 70's tunes such Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" and Mary Hopkin's "Those Were the Days, My Friend" (which may have been late 60's) and ballads such as "City of New Orleans" and "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". But then no one looks at my mp3's but me, anyway.

You can take the darkness from the pit of the night, and turn it to a beacon shining endlessly bright...

Oddly enough, "City of New Orleans" is in my MP3 playlist as well. Along with "Hello It's Me" Tod Rundgren, "Cherish" The Association, "Mas Que Nada" Sergio Medes and "The Lonely Bull" Herb Alpert. I don't know many people who identify with my musical taste.

I goto all the Rock clubs and act like one as best as i can, However I get home and straight on with Classical music, or even better the Spanish guitar. Rock is good but Classical is dedication and the real musician.

You hide these? Why?


I've decorated my room with old albums. Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Boston, Bon Jovi, etc.


I listen to them too.


My CD collection is beside my desk too, and anyone is free to look through it. Guess I just don't feel like I have anything to hide.

I've got a couple here.

Europe - Final Countdown. So it's a song about space travel? I can't get that cheezy synth line out of my head that is a staple at any opening basketball game.

Billy Ocean - Carribean Queen. "She's Simply Awesome"

Rush - 2112. I honestly don't think I should be ashamed of this, but none of my 19/20 year old friends seem to dig it to much.

Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True, Blame it on the Rain, Can I Have Your Number, Girl I'm Gonna Miss you

Jamariquai - Virtual Insanity - song makes me thing of virtual ****, which in turn makes me think of computers, then EQ, then I play

INXS - I Need You Tonight

Enya

Duran Duran

2gether

Asia - Heat of the Moment

Not really ashamed of any of the music in my collection, though I do get strange looks from people who flip through my stuff.

Sabbath, Floyd, Zepp, Ramones, Clash, The Murphys, Bad Religion, Petty, The Doors, The Dead, Cash, Nelson, Jennings, Armstrong, GNR, RHCP, Bon Jovi, White/Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Blind Guardian, etc. The list goes on, just to damn lazy to look at what is in there right now.

Not ashamed of any of it though.
