Guilty pleasure music?

How about this for a thread -- name some of your guilty pleasures musically. What albums/CDs/tapes do you dig out of their hiding places and put on when nobody's looking? What do you like that you'd hate to admit to the Keepers of the Cool? I'll start with ... Stand Up by David Lee Roth. Okay, the guy's a jerk and has about a 4-note range. But this song, along with "Just Like Living in Paradise," really kicks. Steve Vai casually tosses off guitar leads that smoke, the drumming is punchy and the bass packs a nice whomp. Just the thing to blare through a pair of headphones as you get your workout in high gear. So, who's next? Anybody wanna fess up to liking Alice Cooper? Bad Company? Early Chicago?

The intro to Hells Bells.. Best when played with the following audiophile setup: - Ancient Aiwa tape deck (w/variable pitch!). - 100W Soldano Guitar head (aka an amplifier). - Pole mounted Marshall speakers. - Old downtown Detroit warehouse practice space w/30 foot ceilings. All of $150/month in downtown detroit circa 1990, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bullets). With this combination, I found that I was listening to the music rather than the equipment.....

Sting,Dire Straits,Neil Young ,Bonnie Raitt and Secret Garden are a good start.They all represent superior recordings and talent that will be appreciated with exceptional well matched gear.

Don't tell to many people but sometimes I drink wine and listen to old Jackson Browne albums. My wife calls him Jackson Drone. Old seeds sometimes roll out of the double covers.
