Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

[black max]

I thought I was embarrassed enough for liking Hawkwind.

Nothing wrong with liking the Ramones, Richard Hell, and so forth. But I blush to admit liking the Psychedelic Furs.

Hidden classic from the new wave catalog: Tom Verlaine's Warm and Cool. All instrumental, very simple, wonderful music.

My wife likes a lot of mid-70s radio rock so I find myself listening to "Radar Love," "Come Sail Away," and so forth. It's not so bad...better than Madonna or Eminem, anyway. Or Barry Manilow. (My dad calls him Barely Manenough.)

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
