Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

heh. got out my turntable the other day and put on Pablo Cruise and Chilliwack...

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Pablo Cruise I know...Chilliwack? Sounds like some Vermont form of self-pleasure:knowing:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

What about that band from the 70's from Australia called "Daddy Cool" and their song of the same name? ( i confess that I still like it)

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Chilliwack is a Canadian band from Chilliwack in British Columbia back in the 80's. They were promising at the begining but they seemed to have lost the inspiration pretty quickly.

Chilliwack indeed Rick!! Ouch!

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

A zvinki sighting! :yougo

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Always lurking and wurking.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I reckon it's time you took a Faff break.........:rulez:

Great to read you again my friend.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Thanks Keithie. Unfortunately I no longer work alone. About 18 months ago I hired a guy who works for me. I have to set the right example you know. Can't be chatting to strange people all day. Fortunately he enjoys all things prog so the music is good at work.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I resemble that remark!!!!!!!! :)

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

here you go, Rick!

Chilliwack

it's damn cold in Vermont today...

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Quite a discography....i get a feeling I've heard a song or two by them, but I can't seem to put it together...

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I wish you had more Grobschnitt than the 2 albums you have on the site.Your missing a lot of good stuff,anything from thier first album to say 1980 is really great.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I have to partially agree with you on that. But I don't know enoug BM to have anopinion about him, apart from perhaps "Copa ...copa cobana!"
But radar love is one of my fav tunes ((not an alltime fav but it's enjoyable enough for me).My other preferences are:
Slayer (from my teen era)
Jean Michel Jarre (from my preteen era)
I have recently discovered Can, not guilty but good prog/electro.

I like a lot of the old blues / blues rock pieces
Goldemn Earring, Led Zep, Deep Purple etc.

I despise modern talentless (apart from "showing your boobs") factory-pop.

Sorry my list isn't as guilty as some of your lists

"But I blush to admit liking the Psychedelic Furs."

..It's a heartbreak beat, playin' all night long,
down on my street...
And it feels like love, got the radio on,
and it's all that we need...
Well it's a heartbreak beat..(beat)..((beat))...

Me too.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

ABBA, baby! Erm, I mean, yeah...
I've seen Neil Diamond in concert...Got laid that night!
Herb Alpert, my dad loved him. Zorba The Greek kicks ass.
I'm done embarrassing myself for now.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Neat about the Neil show! Who was he? :dogpile:

Seriously...neat pic - now is there ANYWHERE that Tony levin's never been?


Zorba The Greek kicks ass...now that's a great line...will never hear that anywhere else!

Nice joke about the food, in the other thread....:thumbsup:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Ouch. I guess I deserved that one.

:notworthy

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I have to admit I am a huge Fleetwood Mac fan (from the 1975- onward era, not the blues one), indeed Rumours would probably end up in my top 10 albums list easily. :notsure:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Guilty Pleasures

Abba rocks my row boat.
Bonnie Rait - she's right there vulnerable.
I would say Neil Sedaka but no, not really.
Mastodon - somethin about em, don't know
Willie Nelson - croon, croon, croon

a few of many - pawpoet

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

OMG... Here are some of mine <blush>

The Carpenters
Grease soundtrack (and movie!)
Olivia-Newton John
Duran Duran
the Fixx
B52's
Billy Squire
Def Leppard
VH (with DLR)

various one hit wonders from the 80's:
"Take on Me" A-ha
"Saftey Dance" Men without Hats
"Walk like an Egyptian" Bangles
"99 Red Balloons" Nena
LOTS more 80's stuff I am sure!

:::::::::::::::::::blush:::::::::::::::::::::::

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Hi Cyndee,

I don't see a lot wrong with that list. Carpenters, Great. Grease, Excellent, Duran Duran, well if I'm not trance dancing to Hawkwind I'll probably be 'Struttin' my funky stuff' to The Reflex. What a great track that is. :yougo

Oh yes, with a list like that you get an invite to my next party. :)

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

the B52's were and still are one of my very favorites.....

I dated a girl who listened to nothing but Billy Squire...:bang!:

The first VH record came out when I was 14. Required listening!

Orphan Project covered the A-ha tune at their shows :)

I believe Ian Anderson played on a MWH song or two...

not so guilty, revealing maybe :)

As for the Carpenters, well we've only just begun..and as I've often said, if Karen Carpenter ate the same sandwich that Mama Cass ate, they'd both be alive today!

That's ok, I enjoy the Bread songs......:jawdrop:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

> if Karen Carpenter ate the same sandwich that Mama Cass ate, they'd both be alive today!

that is sooo bad!

hahahaha

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

WOW thanks! I guess it's not all that bad then! :imp: :imp:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I also LOVE Mama Cass! (love Mamas/Papas but also Cass' solo stuff!!!) :alien:

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

You know, when this was being overplayed on the airwaves of the San Francisco Bay Area, I found that this particular song had the same rhythm of a 1972 Continental(TM) Cab-Over truck pulling a 27' trailer at exactly 56 mph.

You don't want to know how I know this. Trust me.

Roger -Dot- Lee, no, Really.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Yeh, I've got to say, there's nothing wrong with ABBA. There's a difference between pop and telented pop. It's just quite rare to find talented pop :-P Eegads, and the example picked would be from 30 years ago!

Just re-registered with AuralMoon after too long in LaLa land. Great to see people finally talking proper nonsense here!!!

On the guilty pleasures front - got to be the Chicago (musical) soundtrack (turn the volume down on the bus) and my recent love of Mika. So happy he folds in on himself and implodes!

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I'd say there's nothing wrong with pop at all, unless you're talking Top40 pop. There's great modern pop (Beulah, The Apples in Stereo, Benoit Pioulard and Architecture in Helsinki comes to my mind) but you gotta put some effort to find it. :D

Oh, and ABBA rocks. A lot. I'm not even joking.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, welcome back to AM Turnba!

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm TMI??? 8-o

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

make it big by wham(hell any wham for that matter)

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Tony Christie!

I recently saw him at a Burnley Football Fund Raising gig in Burnley.

I'm not too sure which of the above two gives me the most guilt?

He was good...

The shame ...wildk

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

haha come on lets get real, some popy progressive...Asia would be nice, the master in guitars Steve Howe, I still ask myself how could he joined Asia after being in Yes

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

Been a while, but I think I'd have to add the only rap group I've ever liked. I recently found a "band" that blew me away with their one hit back in the early 90s, but I hated to admit I liked a rap song. Forgot all about it until VH1's top 100 one-hit wonders special.

Digable Planets

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

hey Chris-

I hate to admit it, but...Gorillaz....(sob..don't look at meeee!!!)

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

I'm not afraid to admit that there's one 'rap' song that I find tolerable. I wouldn't go out of my way to find or listen to them, but 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio is one that I won't reach to turn off as soon as I hear it. It's a decent song as those things go, but the thing that got to me was it's strong anti-gang theme.

Two points for Coolio for that one.

And yes, I did find it because of 'Amish Paradise' by Weird Al.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

For crossovers, I've always thought Faith No More's "Epic" was a fantastic song. And early Rage Against the Machine is moving stuff. As long as they keep it interesting....bands like System of A Down combine metal and rap elements ok..

Coolio didn't nail a three?:p

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

For me it's the Steve Miller Band. The lyrics are trite, the music is hopelessly infectious. Some days that's all I want to listen to.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

You reminded me Rooster.....The Joker and Fly like an Eagle.

I want to be a space cowboy and have time keep on slippin' into the future.

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
 

As a teen I played the cover off of his records. Maybe it was the breathing inbetween the notes :yougo


It's great stuff!
