...Dixie Chicks

dunno, just think they're pretty good

B0000032WL.09.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

but it's just such a great pop album

I don't listen to the Chicks, but I figure anyone who has taken the shit they have can't be all bad. Meanwhile it used to be that Todd had more hip cachet than you could shake a stick at. Only time has worn some of it away.

 

Damn I need to think of something here.....let me get back to you. Oh yea..Spanky and Our Gang?? I have always liked them and recently bought one of their LPs. Now to find the other two.

I think AC/DC is generally associated with pimply-faced teen-age boy cock-rock. I'm not saying that doesn't have a place, but it's more a guilty pleasure digging on them as mature adult. Maybe? I don't know....

Yeah, except that they're great on the iPod at the gym. :blush

I listen to the 60's-70's oldies station when I'm working in the kitchen, complete with choreography, and I don't feel the least bit guilty. I do turn it off when Seasons in the Sun comes on however. I think everyone has a softspot for the music of their childhood.

 

Psychedelic Shack! that's where it's at.

why is it guilty pleasure though

 

stop trying to sound smart and witty

It's a guilty pleasure for the same reason I feel a tinge of "guilt" watching American Idol because it's lame and hideous, yet I get an odd "pleasure" from watching it.

 

Anyway:

 

Waaaaahhhh- Waaaaahhhhhh.....

any AC/DC kicks ass.

 

Not a quilty pleasure.

 

Honestly, I never understood "quilty pleasures." Why should you feel quilt over something that gives you pleasure? That being said, I'll contribute -- in fact I made a whole mix of these -- I've been quite smitten with seventies, lite-FM rock lately. Like Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Eagles, Elton John, even Jimmy Buffet.

I think you and I are two of the seven people on this board who have even heard of Missing Persons or the Dream Academy.

By the way, I don't think of any of those as guilty pleasures, but then, I'm too old now to be "cool." :lol
