We all have our own take on music - most of us, infact, pretty much all of us have different tastes. Each person as eclectic as the next to be honest, I say this with confidence because after a recent discussion with someone known for their bizarre taste in music, I learnt that they had a back catalogue of Corrs albums....a guilty little pleasure.
Musical guilty pleasures are much like normal guilty pleasures, you know its not the done thing, you know it could be fattening, gross, obscene or just plain illegal, but we all have them
I'm going to have to say mine is Phil Collins - (pictured above in his hobo years) - Can anyone tell me why he's so unpopular and why I have to hide my "best of" album constantly? when I know in a few years I'm going to have to buy a new one because the disc is practically rice paper thin from over playing?
I won't go too deep into my love for the music of this bald cocker-ney crooner - because if i "out" myself too much I'll lose all credibility - but please join me in my quest for honesty - what's YOUR guilty pleasure with music?
PS: I'm off on holidays for a week. - slán!

ooOOoo hols ! enjoy dude.
In the meantime - I think you could have a worse skeleton than Phil Collins hidden in your musical closet. I heard "I can feel it comin in the air tonight" the other day and, yeah it's a bit naff now, but back then it was uber original. Also, that song has a deadly drum bit in it where the song goes a bit more shouty.
I've no real guilty pleasures - I'm a total music whore - I have all sorts in my collection, but I spose I'm not so proud that I own a Boyzone best of LOL Feck it, they're all covers and they're good to sing along to.
I like "the Collins" and Genesis and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm allowed like him though, because I can use the "I listen to the drums" excuse. I haven't listened to it for quite some time now, though. I'm not sure if I have a guilty pleasure in the sense that I listen to a particularly cheesy artist on a regular basis, but, like Del I'm a musical geebag and I'll listen to almost anything. I downloaded "Infected" by The The today and I seriously considered a Human League album - that must qualify.
Shakin Stevens - first album I ever got (off Santa) and I still listen to it every Christmas morning. Oh and on the way into work I had on Madonna's "The Immaculate Collection". I like the early stuff.
Mangotron!
You are SO right Mango - that IS an excellent album. I am often tempted to buy it, but never have.
Tip for the top lads - the Lilly Allen album is an out and out winner - every song is a topper.
I've never even heard of Lilly Allen. Is she any relation to Dave Allen (RIP)?
