As for the Go-Go's, I just LOVE "Our Lips Are Sealed". One of my favorite pop songs from that period.

 For single songs, Cheap Trick's "Surrender" does it.

Honestly, Dave, I kind of liked the idea of someone spraying their drink all over the screen upon seeing those Go-Go's/B-52's album covers on a PROG website lol!  
I remember many years ago, a local pool hall I used to spend most weekeds/Frdiay nights at, a bit rough, and they always had a jukebox booming out Guns N Roses, Bon Jovi, Metallica, just big blokely `guy' songs, and my friend and I would always put on the Go-Go's `Our Lips Are Sealed' (you know, with the video of them in the water fountain lol?!), and the collective look of `What the F**K?!' around the place was priceless lol!
Although the place is long gone, I stil remember the jukebox code for that particular song - 00, 13 - lol!

What can I tell you, it makes me happy, my other two options were:- Shub Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vite Leonard Cohen - Songs Of Love & Hate If that second one comes on in the car I sing along with a grin on my face.

Although I marginally prefer The Snow Goose to Moonmadness (and anything else for that matter), Moonmadness always makes me smile whereas The Snow Goose always makes me feel very, very sad.

 Irrelevant fact, anyone notice that that's not the real Brian May? He wasn't well at the time!

Michael, nothing wrong with those two! |
Jim, I was shocked when I discovered on reading up on them that the Go-Go's were anything BUT `America's Sweethearts' or `girls next door'! They were actually very naughty, debauchered and wicked things lol!
As for the B-52's, saw them a couple of years back when they played Melbourne....quite a disappointing experience. The girls were great and brought some serious energy and positivity, but dear old Fred made no effort whatsoever, appeared in a supremely bad mood and made it clear he didn't want to be there. Thanks for taking our money, though, Fred, happy to help out.... 
On the plus side, they played most of their killer debut album AND `Mesopotamia' - one of my favourites, and very underrated!

[QUOTE=Aussie-Byrd-Brother]Well, two huge guilty pleasures that I'm sure will NOT go down well with the Prog establishment lol! 
The Go-Go's - Beauty and the Beat
/QUOTE]
Funny, I thought of this as soon as I saw the thread title  I remember buying this album at a record store at college back in 1981 and the clerk told me I was the first person in Helena, Montana to own a Go-Gos album. Not sure if that's true but for sure none of my friends liked it. I still listen to a lot of Go-Gos on my iPod while running. Billie Joe Armstrong's "Unforgiven" from their 2011 album is one of the best tunes ever to finish a run with. For me this one always brings a smile and some great memories. My folks were stodgy hard-core Baptists but I found this buried in my Dad's closet when I was a kid and it was awesome. I still have it!

I saw SABB, TFTO, The Best of Bee Gees ... very nice.  
In my case it used to be Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain ... . Now ... I dunno. Silence? I don't think I have one such album. Maybe another one of Eno's? U2's October? Genesis' FGTR? An ambient album? Bee Gees' Cucumber Castle? Who knows. It would probably have to be an album I never get tired of, and I do not know one such album.
