OT: Guilty Pleasures-Another Music Thread

Thought I had a winner but after further review, Little Willy also was theirs.

@Kembacity Tom Cochrane struck it big with Red Rider. Remember "Lunatic Fringe?

I have no idea what you're talking about in all honesty, but I've never gotten into Tom Cochrane deep cuts, this song always makes me laugh at it no matter what so I cant believe it took me that long to think to post it

Ballroom Blitz and Fox on the Run were theirs as well. That was one of my first concerts, they opened for Bob Segar at Hartford Jai Alai.

And Fox on the Run

I'm surprised nobody has "Walking in Memphis" yet. But I'll go with this one. Closing Time, Semisonic. Loved this song.

Little Joe Cook & the Thrillers "Peanuts"

This guy turned this song and a couple others notably "Little Lady at the Beauty Shop, You make my heart go Bippety Bop" into a 25+ year residence as house band at the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge. It was a Boston staple & tradition to go see him at this diverse & fun dive bar.

I like "change" by Blind Melon more than "No Rain"

Tommy Tutone....Jenny (867 5309).
Starland Vocal Band...... Afternoon Delight (the most innocent sounding song ever about getting laid in the daytime)

Man I'm dating myself here.

Oh man is this the first Kajagoogoo mention? Damn I can't believe I missed that one.

Watched the VHI pop up video session on Afternoon Delight...hilarious. "That song is filthy!" It was so much fun to watch a bunch of people close to my age saying how they had no idea what it was about, talking about it later.

The remake was good also

I wanted to throw this one out there...because when this rocker came out in 1983, it sure seemed like New Haven's Michael (Bolotin) Bolton was going to be a one hit guy. Then 4 years later he came back as a crooner and took over the charts for 5 or 6 years.

Men With One Hit! (yes I know they had a minor follow-up)

 

[Huskybass]

The other music threads were fun and since its still before the night created for the casual fans, let's do one more:

Name up to 3 guilty pleasure songs that you like. I will take the brave first step:

Year of the Cat by Al Stewart;
Sara Smile by Hall & Oates;
Locked out of Heaven by Bruno Mars;

Those are all great songs. By guilty pleasures aren't they supposed to be cr@p songs we are embarrassed to admit liking?

That's exactly what I am saying. I didn't exactly list Kashmir, Comfortably Numb and Gimme Shelter. The 3 I named are grounds for being embarrassed.

 

[Walker11]

I feel like I am taking it to the next level of embarrassment. I legitimately like You Gotta Be by Desree. I blame it on my mom for listening to webe108 constantly while I was young. And Taylor Swift's new album was great but I'm not embarrassed to like it.

Year of the Cat belongs in that company. Rainy Days and Mondays however ...

 

[RabidHusky]

Good bye to you---Scandal
Patty Smyth ---major turn on

 

[Kembacity]

I know I'll likely be chewed out here because everyone seems to be either into classic rock or Digital Underground, but a ton of that early 90's dance music is a huge guilty pleasure for me.

Cece Peniston's "Finally", C+C Music Factory, Robin S "Show Me Love", La Bouche, Ace of Base, Jon Secada?

Yeah, not embarrassed, and I like that recently some dance musicians have adopted that style of a more simplistic beat, like Kiesza or that newer song "This Girl" by Kungs vs Cookin' on 3 burners (yes that's truly the listed artist of a popular song)
