Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?

A friend brought over The Carpenter's Greatest Hits on SACD so a buddy and I could hear it. I excused myself from the room when he put it on.

However, once I heard the first song, I came back into the room. Amazingly good music and recording.

I occasionally listen to these performers whose albums I purchased decades ago:

Jan and Dean
Duane Eddy
Grass Roots
Trini Lopez
Chad Mitchell Trio
Smothers Brothers
Gene Pitney
Johnny Rivers
Bobby Vinton
Johnny Horton

Oh well.

bill's favs are all incredible artists. johnny rivers was the catalyst for what eventually was termed country rock...yes, long before gram parsons, the byrds and rick nelson. though known as a singles band, the grass roots never recorded a dud song period.....add chris montez, the tremeloes,cliff richard, the sweet, hank marvin/the shadows, and the fortunes to the list, and its party time.....sandy shaw and leslie gore too. ps...if you can't get laid to a chris montez lp...you can't get laid.
