There's a quite good film about Joe Meek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Meek), the bloke who 'made' the Tornados and the German pop star Heinz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Burt) who played bass on this,0 -
There are a couple of shows on at the moment that I've been enjoying. BBC doing an hour long Top of the Pops show on various individual years. Then Channel 5 are running through the biggest songs of the 80s year by year. Been some brilliant songs that I'd completely forgotten about and a couple of guilty pleasures from this;
Hands Up - Ottawan
Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners

I mentioned when the thread originally appeared that people were including things that were not "guilty pleasures" at all. Might not be to your normal taste (mine would be "Would I Lie to You" - Charles and Eddie.) but it's not "Agadoo"...Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

As has been pointed out earlier in this thread by Mr Thundercock music shouldn’t be defined as a guilty pleasure. Music connects on an emotional level and if you like a song then you like it. It doesn’t matter if some think it’s not ‘cool’ or it’s cheese. Music snobs piss me off and they should get off their high horses.3

YMCA is truly dreadful and therefore a real guilty pleasure. It doesn’t matter if it’s a guilty pleasure for half the world’s population, it’s still a guilty pleasure.AddickUpNorth said:Wham - Club Tropicana
The Village People - YMCA
Chesney Hawkes - The One and Only
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off.
Bona fide classics indeed.0 -
And that explains K-pop.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:0 -
That still looks like Taylor belongs on the sex offenders register.AddickUpNorth said:0 -

Guilty pleasure.
I don't know the current situation in regards to the with allegations.
I hope it's all not true. No idea.
As an artist, he's a genius.1 -

Wtf? Pop rock? You obviously have never listened to Generation Terrorists or The Holy Bible.kentaddick said:
agreed, a lot of their stuff just sounds like your average pop-rock songs made by a group of boring blokes. But it's a great song.favershamaddick said:Dont generally like Manic Street Preachers stuff as I dont particularly like his voice, that said 'If You Tolerate This' is the bollox.
As for 'boring' - try listening to the lyrics.0 -

But sometimes the guilt is related to the source. For example, being totally against the X Factor, everything it stands for and how it manufactures musicians/groups, but enjoying a song from an artist who was on it - that’s a guilty pleasure.AddickUpNorth said:As has been pointed out earlier in this thread by Mr Thundercock music shouldn’t be defined as a guilty pleasure.

I once worked with a born-again Christian and he had to pretend he didn’t like David Bowie any more. I couldn’t stand him so I didn’t pursue it. He was also always saying that people were making a point of coming only to him and making the sign of Satan.0

I hate modern pop music. The over-production, the auto tune, the mumbling - I find it offensive that it's allowed to be called 'music'. But, every now and then... Damn.

PS: Don't ever find yourself as a 47vyear old man belting this out while sat at a set of traffic lights, to find three teenage girls stood at a bus stop, looking at you with a mixture of what can only described as mirth, pity and disgust...0 -

So talking about the source I have to admit that in the early 90s I was a huge fan of R Kelly. His music, anything he produced for other artists, I thought he was a genius. Obviously my opinion changed about him after the revelations about his deviancies but I haven’t gone as far as getting rid of my collection of his CDs, 12” vinyl etc. I’d feel a bit dirty listening to his tunes but taken on their own his songs still stand the test of time.1
