no surprise to most.. I love this band.. few here do LOL

then again.. what do they know about 'fun' man..

2nd.. few know of my love of her... but one of the best and most treasured of PA's friendships that became a real life friendship started over our mutual admiration of her..

and perhaps my guiltiest of pleasures.. southern gospel music.. I don't believe in that Christian mumbo jumbo myself... but what it is for me is very spiritual.. and put together Gram, Emmylou and ... ohhh.. LINDA.. and it is pleasurably pure musical guilt

Gram Parsons without any doubt!

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

I don't really believe in the whole "guilty pleasure" thing. However, this particular song (which I have always loved) might sound rather out of character to some people:

This song is one of my fave synth-pop song! No Guilt!

I have one more alternative.

Post-make up Kiss, repetitive lyrics, cheesy band surrounded by fire video. I know.

Your video reminded me of this other one: who are more horny?

I don't quite get how from all the things somebody has posted it is decided what eventually is in the poll.

The decision is up to each person who his/her choice is. The idea was for each person to put out one initial selection and optionally some alternatives, and then whatever discussion comes in can influence each person's final decision. What I didn't foresee is the number of posts happening. I originally stated that each person can edit his or her original post to clarify the final decision. Lacking any clarification, I'll put what's in the original post.

So, each person can still clarify in their original post, but if needed, also post a follow up with name of artist and song title.

For now, I've saved the youtube videos posted in this thread that I could (a few were not playable in U.S., so no Mendocino, Nik Kershaw, and Goran Bregovich, and kid songs cannot be saved to playlists, so no Wiggles, Baby Sharks, Blippi, etc.) to a playlist (from Plasmatics to Lana del Rey). This includes videos not meant for nomination.

If I've left off out a video, let me know. I'll periodically update the playlist. Later, I'll make a playlist of just the nominated songs.

My sixth suggestion: Goran Bregovich: O Bella Ciao (Italian traditional song about the Partisans)

Edited to add, I'd forgotten the lady in the cage was yours, also. I think, in the time, it was meant to be more serious, still comes across very funny to me these days. Disco not my thing at all, but I liked that she had a deeper voice than many.

Amanda Lear is a French singer and actress who was successful in Italy especially in the seventies and eighties on television, creating a self-image close to that of a transgender, in fact the rumor had spread that she was a man who had become a woman - it is false, but in fact she had a deeper voice. She has always been a very intelligent and witty woman who played with her image, making ironic songs and programs.

The lovely Amanda Lear (a true legend) does have a connection to prog, or at least to art rock: she is the model on the cover of Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure, which is arguably their most progressive album (and a great one at that). She was also a close friend of Salvador Dali.

Potband - Søde løgne
