Guilty pleasure music?


How about this for a thread -- name some of your guilty pleasures musically. What albums/CDs/tapes do you dig out of their hiding places and put on when nobody's looking? What do you like that you'd hate to admit to the Keepers of the Cool? I'll start with ... Stand Up by David Lee Roth. Okay, the guy's a jerk and has about a 4-note range. But this song, along with "Just Like Living in Paradise," really kicks. Steve Vai casually tosses off guitar leads that smoke, the drumming is punchy and the bass packs a nice whomp. Just the thing to blare through a pair of headphones as you get your workout in high gear. So, who's next? Anybody wanna fess up to liking Alice Cooper? Bad Company? Early Chicago?

Don't tell to many people but sometimes I drink wine and listen to old Jackson Browne albums. My wife calls him Jackson Drone. Old seeds sometimes roll out of the double covers.

Isn't this a personal thing? To me guilty pleasure music is anything you you wouldn't want to be caught listening to by your friends. I am a Hendrix, Miles Davis guy. Don't want too many people to see me with that sensitive stuff.
Carl, Hendrix and Miles are what I listen to in the open! Jackson Browne is the "sensitive" stuff I hide from my friends. Did I read that you listen to Def Leppard? That's not guilty pleasure. That's guilty torture.
