Guilty Listening Pleasure

Well then you don't have any guilty listening pleasures ^^, cause you're not embarresed about any of them.

Wow Ivan, you like El Tri, i never thought to find somedy here who listens to them, i actually dont like them.

 

Well, I’m not a fan of El Tri, as a fact what I like most of them is El Tri Sinfónico with La Sinfónica FM, the orchestral arrangements are simply outstanding.

 

It’s true that Alex Lora can’t sing at all (He just shouts with throat) but the guy who plays the acoustic guitar in a Flamenco style is wonderful, the drumming is solid, the backing vocals when done in studio are very good also.

 

Their music is extremely simple and could even sound amateurish, but that’s precisely the charm of the band, they don’t pretend anything, they just give their best and surely they are able to rock.

 

As I said I only have El Tri Sinfónico DVD and a couple of samples specially Triste Canción de Amor in Bolero style (MTV Unplugged) and honestly I enjoy both recordings.

Hell yeah, very entertaining joy & melancholy, rhythm & rhyme, singing & production altogether. I'm only not sure about the latin girl-power self-image from the videos, but otherwise
I've only recently started developing what might be called a collection so I have nothing that doesn't fit; I'll mention my first ever favourite band that I like to recall from time to time: Roxette. I still enjoy them, especially their late works.

Fiona Apple
Van Halen
The Mermen

I don't have it in my collection (at least not yet), but I honestly think it's a great album.

(Unless you speak of Donna Summer or Snoop Dog  There's no guilt in liking different genres of music. I will list some:   Meatloaf Bob Geldoff and the Boomtown Rats Cranberries Silvio Rodriguez (Despite I hate his pro Fidel lyrics) Ruben Blades Mountain The Animals Bachman Turner Overdrive Fleetwood Mac (Both incarnations even when the Buckingham-Nicks much more) Grand Funk Railroad Cream David Bowie The Ginger Baker Africa 70 AC/DC America Cat Stevens Herman Hermits El Tri Dire Strait Early Elton John Los Kjarkas Boston OMD Bob Dylan Erick Clapton I could follow for hours....Prog is my first love and 90% of my musical listening but this doesn't mean I feel any guilt for listening something different.
