Cyndi Lauper?
Culture Club?
Boy George?
The Sound of Music?
Shaft Soundtrack?

Let's hear what albums/CDs you guys have that you don't want people to know about...

To be honest, none of the ones you mentioned. But i really like Duran Durans Rio.
Does that count?

I was giving those as examples to stir up the old noggin' juices.. haha..

Ha! That's the one that I was thinking of! I was picturing the Purple album with the black and white face, but I couldn't remember what the name of the album was?

And yes, it counts, anything with Duran Duran counts.

Good call!

Ok, I fall into the Duran Duran camp then. :sigh:

Some folks really rag on Huey Lewis and the News but I will not be made to feel guilty for that or Journey or any trance music. So there. :D

I probably have schlocky, guilty pleasure covered pretty well anyway ... since I have the first ~ 30 or 40 CDs of the time life 80's collection ... and like most of it...

Does this mean.....I should hide.....my old Dan Fogelberg LP?


Steve

i bought the first 2 monkees lps when first released and i still play'em once in a while.

'auntie grezelda', anyone?:music:

even schlockier- ray coniff and the singers, 'bridge over troubled water', a bunch of covers.
actually, i'm starting to like it a little bit.

i'd say that at least half of my ~ 1500 lp's are of the guilty pleasure variety. any kind of space age pop, exotica, obscure, outre, forgotten, over looked, too-corny-to-consider, psych (a big one for me), early electronica, stuff that's so bad its good....martin denny, les baxter, arthur lyman, chaino; lothar and the hand people, clear light, southwest f.o.b., electric prunes, frijid pink, the collectors...i could go on and on....stuff that makes you go 'wow, that's OLD, that's corny, no wait, that's GOOD, that's strange...but good'

i don't call it guilty pleasure listening, i call it ironic listening, as in, you can come up with a long list of what makes it bad, outmoded, corny, strange, whatever, but it still pulls you in ....

None...if I own it I don't care who knows. I often hear folks talk about only liking a few of songs on most their records/cd's. I like all of every piece I own.

I think it's fair that I add my Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet album to this list. What would a good list be without a big hair rock band?

Mine all seem to be around 1978 - I get ridiculed unmercifully for playing Bostons first LP. Others include Jackson Browne "Running on Empty";Skynyrds "First and Last";Fleetwood Mac "Rumors";Eagles "Hotel California". But who could argue about Cyndi Lauper? She milked the shit out of that album,I think every song on it went top ten over the course of a year's steady Radio Play,not to mention the videos - back when MTV played music videos...

This thread is full of 'em

I'm not saying I have the mupet movie soundtrack....


nope, i don't have that, not at all

Maybe I'm not truly the guilty party (my wife brought these LP's into the marriage), but I still have about 6 Barbra Streisand albums in the stack. Highly embarrassing.:para:

My wife has a couple of Barry Manilow albums, though they are not with the albums that actually get played.


None. unless you count the long version of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby". Though I don't count it, nor do I hide it. That particular version has its uses. :smoke:

This is a blast from the past that takes me back to my childhood: :banana:

I have that Bubblegum Hits record... on vinyl. It has a cartoon-like cover. Okay, I confessed!

I also have some records that are fine to play; I'm not embarrassed to have someone overhear them playing, but I'd rather my wife didn't see the jackets, or at least didn't see me LOOKING at the jackets ...which feature naked women on them! :yikes: :D

The Monkees

Maybe I'm not truly the guilty party (my wife brought these LP's into the marriage), but I still have about 6 Barbra Streisand albums in the stack. Highly embarrassing.:para:

Haha! If my Cyndi Lauper is No. 1.. Then your Babs is definitely a close second..

I'm wondering about those covers.. are they all post nose job??

Question: If it's a guilty pleasure how were you all when you bought it? Were you all embarassed? Just asking..I like all my records regardless of what anyone else thinks and am not ashamed to admiting they are mine...LOL... I admit though to feeling embarassed buying a Manilow album for my brother's birthday...

How about those rock/bluegrass albums? I have Pickin' on Clapton and Pickin' on Boston...Certainly something different.
