So, do you have any songs that you love but only when no-one else is around...?

If I feel like a good old cry I sometimes dig out the Phil Collins or other stuff I used to listen to as an angst-ridden teenager.....was singing my heart out to Against All Odds in the car yesterday...:nuts:

70s soft rock like Supertramp, The Doobie Brothers and The Alan Parson's Project. :dork:

I like all kinds of stuff that is generally frowned upon by the trendies as I'm mostly into very mainstream pop and dance.

There are a couple of Busted (3am) and McFly (Ultraviolet and Friday Night) tracks that put me in a good mood especially if I'm going out for a few beers.

Supertramp were great and I've no guilt about liking them at all!

I thought I had a guilty pleasure in that I liked Hayzi Fantayzi's album...but it was recently re-released and when I actually heard it I realised it's a total bag of ****.
Loved it when I was younger!

I've got one 'euro pop' CD, Paola 'Stockcity Girl', that I'm quite partial too. Very different to my usual listening.

Got a few friends into it too. Discovered her after hearing her song 'Above the Candystore' from the movie SPUN; the video an extra on the DVD.

She also does a killer cover of Dio's 'Rainbow in the Dark' (which I much prefer to the original). Unfortunately I can't find a CD or MP3 of this anywhere, but it's on her myspace (http://www.myspace.com/paolaunsigned) if anyone's curious.

Being into heavy metal & associated sub-genres, I do admit to having Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos in my favourites.:eek:

Tis a fantastic song imho & completely out of character with the rest of my collection!!:nuts:

Oh I love that track. But then I love her early stuff.

I listened to Lily Allen, Einsturzende Neubauten, The Flaming Lips and Althea and Donna on my iphone in the car this morning and felt guilty about none of them...

..but I did make sure the windows were wound up when The Editors came on.

I like prog generally, not at all 'guilty' for liking Suprtramp, Alan Parsons though I admit the Dixie Dregs and Camel aren't the first things I put on if I'm trying to look cool.

I'm more guilty I suppose about never quite losing my primary school love for camp, OTT classic rock-Van Halen, Extreme, Bon Jovi etc, all still get the occasional airing (when I'm home alone)

I have no guilty pleasures. I like what I like, and to hell with what anyone else thinks.

I like all them too!!:eek: Nice choices especially Music!! That is so Epic!
\I really like the bit in the middle that reminds me of Blakes 7!:dork:

My guilty pleasure is the Xanadu OST.:suspect::help:

A few Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana songs. And a bit of Avril Lavigne and Girls Aloud...

But never on the pub jukebox....

P.S My favourite album is Metallica's "Master of Puppets".
Buck Rogers

On my lastfm below the Pixies (number 1) and just above Radiohead and QOTSA are Girls Aloud, I've even got their B Sides.

I do love my pop music though, especially anything that Xenomania touch.

A few guiltier pleasures- Justify my Love by Madonna, a couple of early Whitney/Mariah ballads and Simply Red.

Takes a little bit to get going, but I like a bit of cheese.
