Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?

William Shatner ''Has Been''CD. Captain Kirk himself. This is no joke.

Men Without Hats ''Safety Dance'' early techno that is acutally quite fun to hear.

I also agree with Karen Carpenter - effortless vocal beauty.

Tvad: Karen had one of the greatest voices ever...., add to that, her brother was a musical genious and, after all of their fame, she still considered herself a drummer first before a singer.

Styx "Mr. Roboto"
Men Without Hats "Hey Men"
Sniff "n" the Tears "Driver's Seat"
Walter Egan "Magnet and Steel" (..a great song that is forgotten)

Regarding "Oops...I Did it Again",  I think artists such as Richard Thompson, who covered it, saw through the fluff.

I personally, don't know why there is such a love/hate relationship with Adelle? What a great talent! Many more.

Amongst my peers (Americana/No Depression/roots types), it is not politically correct to like Shania Twain. Steve Earle called her "The highest paid lap dancer in Nashville"! I don't care, I like her records. Yeah, it's not really country---it's Pop. I love Pop!

Captain Beefheart / Trout Mask Replica

Man, there's a lot of my favorite tracks or albums listed--I had no idea I should be red-faced for listening to them! Who knew?

I consider the early Beach Boys tracks a guilty pleasure because the lyrics--whether about surfing, cars, or young love--are so very simplistic and "old school."  More Ozzie and Harriet than Simpsons, alas.  I'll never give them up.
