Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?


You know...a recording that you would never play for anyone else because you are afraid they would think your nuts and snicker. I'll go ahead and admit mine - "The Carpenters Greatest Hits." Now stop that! I bet you have a guilty pleasure recording. What is it?

ABBA Live.  Two LP set.  They try to rock it out here and there and (occasionally) succeed.  Most notably, the album's version of "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (a man after midnight) works well.  It's a fun reminder of the close kinship between straight pop and rock n roll.
Jnovak,

Have you ever hear Tommy Emmanuel's solo guitar arrangement of Classical Gas?  If not, I say "head straight to YouTube".  Pretty incredible take on the tune and you may never think of that song in the same way again.

On another note......For some reason, your mention of Mason Williams brought Jimmy Webb to mind.  I don't  know how guilty that pleasure should be, but I'm gonna cue some up now.
