Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?

+1 Uriah Heep 
Also, Bobby Darin's "Mack the knife"

I was a top 40 radio DJ in the seventies, which meant I developed a tolerance for bubblegum and breeze pop music. Also classic 'tear in your beer' country. I learned to appreciate those songs as three minute soap operas.
I won't bore you with details of my Norman Luboff choir records...or Anita Kerr library, and certainly not 'the rain the park and other things'.
Happy listening, Everybody 

PS...don't forget Jo Stafford and Noel Coward

The 'Little Miss America' theme from Palisades Amusement Park

If you lived in the NY metro area during the '60's, it will bring back memories. Now if only I could find the Raceway Park, and Lincoln Savings Bank commercials....

Wham! and George Michael (solo).

ABBA is the best pop music ever produced, Agnetha & Frida has one of the best singing harmonies in pop history, if not the best. ABBA is tasteful, very melodic & fun music, and very professional in everything really. I honestly can´t imagine better (simple) and honest pop music. Their approach and attitude is the most positive in the business. They surpassed Beatles IMHO. Musically I mean. The happiest pop act, and a huge influence to so many. The best thing is they come from non-English speaking country but their English is perfect. They are perfect.

Karen Carpenter´s voice is incredibly strong and very beautiful, I really love dark female voices, Cher´s too.

I never was embarrassed about ABBA. And all loved them here, boys and girls, young and old. They were hugely popular, much more than Beatles ever were. In 1976 I loved both ABBA and BÖC. And early URIAH HEEP, of course. Still do.

I may mention another very positive and happy pop band lead by a lovely blonde girl... What that band might be ? Hint: they came from one English speaking country and from the 70´s...
