The Monkees ~ "Shades of Gray" 
Michael Nesmith & the First National Band ~ 
The Stone Poneys ~ "Different Drum"



obviously I love the Sone Poneys song.. but the other two.?
 

I never was a Monkeys/Nesmith fan.. other than a few uptempish rocking songs which I really did like.. and knew neither of these Clap

Shades of Grey? I do like the Piano melody and nice harmonies.. not really my style.. but definitely pretty good song.

Joanne - oh hell yeah...  now that is Micky style..  go with that one
  Took out the videos for space purposes.....Thanks...The Nesmith sans Monkees is really kind of country, but I believe it was on the pop charts, which used to be more wideranging.  I had a feeling you'd like it, if you'd not heard it before.

that I did Clap

shame I didn't think of this one earlier...  bumping the Wiggles.. too much love.. and going with something on John's truly 'guilty' pleasure winner.. though this one could not. nor should not win hahah and god help your reputation if you like this.. mine is so tattered and stained that I have no forum self respect left to worry about keeping so f**k it haha. 

honestly.. one of the best concerts I ever went to.  Did I like the group.. HELL NO. Only reason I went was my girlfriend's younger sister loved the group and wanted to see them at RFK (during that time.. was a very rough part of DC.. and you grow up in DC learning to stay off the Green Line after sunset) so I was tempted by an offer (by the girlfriend) of the best sex I had ever had if I would take her and be a shaperone.  Of course that was an offer I couldn't refuse.. especially since she had cut me off for some time when we went to see George Michael and i fell asleep during the concert.

Needless to say it was one hell of a concert..  the closest I think a non old foggie might have come to experiencing Beatlemania.. no pot smoke to obsucre the band.. but you could barely hear them over the sounds of 50 odd thoussand young girls screaming their lungs out for several hours.

needles to say..  i didn't fall asleep. and Corinne delivered on her promise.  Years later.. I can hear this song without thinking of some real good memories. A true guility pleasure haha

Not sure how 'bad' a song needs to be to be a 'guilty pleasure' cause these aren't 'bad' , but they are guilty pleasures ...for me.  Wink

"Our Lips are Sealed", yes that's an old favorite for me too. I especially like the version where Belinda duets with Terry Hall and Fun Boy Three. I still have the long play single of that version. In the early 80s I used to play it on a late night hardcore punk radio show, sometimes over and over and no one ever complained. Mind you most people listening in were there to hear Black Flag, Dead Kennedys and Motorhead, which says a lot for the appeal of that song.

Since my Journey selection broke the rules, my new 3rd choice is this dramatic number by Conway Twitty. This clip is from Dave Sanborn's Night Music show which often featured diverse acts that had nothing in common with each other.

On this episode, Twitty follows avant-garde modernists like The Residents and Kronos String Quartet, yet he belts out this classic without a trace of irony or embarrassment.The music starts at 3:30. The backing band is Dave Sanborn's jazz fusion band and they seem to be really enjoying this, once again, without any smug sarcasm or hipster irony. The song has an interesting structure, instead of verse-chorus, its just a verse repeated three times.

pretty good.. but if you want my vote.. .find that German cover of Mendocino you mentioned in the other thread.

In fact..  that might be worth 2 votes LOL
 



Well, this has to be out of competition because I actually hate it... but here it is:

I post here other two suggestions. if five in total are too many, I apologize, and we don't consider these two-

AMANDA LEAR: TOMORROW




CCCP AND AMANDA LEAR: TOMORROW (ELECTRONIC PUNK VERSION)



Attention: the singer is the same of the song I posted in my first Interactive Poll (CSI: L'ora delle tentazioni). In fact, CCCP is the name of his first group, which was later changed in CSI. CCCP is the name of the USSR.
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 Gufi! Hadn't heard them for decades. When I was a teenager in high school, a friend of mine had a couple of albums by them. They were hilarious, and very good too (though probably much of an acquired taste).

Wow! More than 100 posts over night, I don't think that ever happened in my time here.

From recent listens Nik Kershaw was the first that came to mind, although the song was "I Won't Let The Sun...", but it's already suggested.

I'm going with an 80's song from my corner of the World. I don't know how many times that chorus was stuck in my head for hours.



I think this poll will be catchier than the catchy poll Big smile

This is the earworm of the 20th century! I was thinking about nominating that one, too, but didn't feel guilty enough about it. 
Kershaw has lots of cool stuff by the way. I even saw him live once and he was pretty good.

There's another one from an artist I have never been overly fond of, but this song - over the top as it is (complete with a rather politically incorrect sequence at the beginningWink) - has always been a favourite of mine:



BTW, Mike, I really dug that System of a Down song! That's a band I'd like to know more about.

I don't get what's happening in this poll. Am I supposed to come up with three songs? I don't know why I'm taking this thread so seriously, I am the only one. Because every time I think of a song that would fit in, I'm thinking "wait a minute, why should I feel shame for enjoying this?". 

If I'm not coming up with a song today, I may sit this one out as I am travelling in a couple of days and gotta get ready for that.

We're still tossing ideas around before we nominate one song as our official choice. You can suggest as many as you like, because voting won't start until July 3.

if voting starts July 3rd, it means songs need to be posted until then. So far people just post songs that are funny or poppy.

Not quite. Look at my second entry on p.3. (Although I also asked myself whether that was inappropriate... but then I decided that it's one reason more to feel guilty and therefore fits very well.)
The first posting's definition of a "guilty pleasure" actually doesn't have anything in it that says you need to feel guilty. I think he means what you think others think you should be guilty for.
