          I think I have everybody beat........
 
               How about string-laden country cover songs by a TV actor???
 
               Michael Parks, star of the 1969-1970 motorcycle odyssey show
             
               "Then Came Bronson"....   I have multiple copies of his LP's and an
 
               expensive Australian (possible bootleg, since it's taken from vinyl)
 
               "best of" CD.  He's made a comeback in the movies in recent years,
 
               thanks to Quentin Tarantino.......
 
               BTW, I don't have these because they're cheesy, I love them in
 
               spite of their cheesiness.  He was a good, unique singer.

It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

What's not to like? (Thank you Homer Simpson)



I'm not embarrassed about anything in my collection. It all has relevance on some level. Although, some people might scoff at my copy of Triumph's "Just a Game," or my wide selection of The Monkees.

  I've never been embarrassed with the music I own. I like bands such as A-ha, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Simple Minds. Also some hair metal although I don't listen to it that much these days. I like Toto, Boston, Foreigner and Journey. Some power metal bands if they have something interesting to show. Same for 80s metal artists. That's all for now...

I think that one has to like the camp elements of it, in order to have patience to find the some good jazzy stuf on their albums, in addition of their pop rock hits.
 
PS. Guilty pleasures are always the best ones!
 
 
Wow that takes some guts to admit liking these guys. I personally could not.
 
 
 
 
Well they're not that bad.
 
 
Somehow, I have problems understanding how one can have guilty pleasure in arts. One can admit to porn-watching , sexual deviation, a strong penchant for the bottle, or feesting on cream puffs as being  guilty pleasures, but in music?
 
I can even see it as far as TV shows are concerned. Or cartoons. But not music?
 
 Then again, since I have perfect tastes I cannot go wrong, therefore everything I listen to is acceptable for everyone and if they don't like it, they've a problem and no taste.TongueEvil SmileClownCool
 
I do not have one single album I am embarrased to show to friends.
 
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.
