Guilty Pleasure recording?

I will date myself by this, and hate to admit to it, but one of the reasons that I love getting into vinyl now, is that there is some music that is not available digitally. I wish I could say I was talking about some legendary, sublime classic recording of a great orchestral performace, but instead in this instance I am talking about bad 80's rock.

Right now I am listening to my guilty pleasure record: The Producers "You Make the Heat". No one ever likes it as much as I do when I play it for them. Some have heard "She Shiela", but usually they have not heard the album before, and don't care to again. But I love it.

Anyone have bad, guilty pleasure records, that are not available digitally, probably because there is no demand?

I've got three--any one of which would get me thrown under the Serious Music Bus. In fact, the last one might cause the bus to back over me to make sure the job is truly and well done.

Ambrosia: One Eighty (1980)
Art Garfunkel: Breakaway (1975)
Lenny LeBlanc: Hound Dog Man (1977)

Oh yeah, my first casette was the "Partridge Family Album" when I was nine years old. Played the hell out of that tape on the family Ampex cassette player w/built in mono speaker. Swore I'd have a funky painted school bus when I grew up.

Hey Mapman!

Glad to know I wasn't the only one w/the PFA! I never did get the school bus. . . but I did own three VW buses over the years. My vehicle choice tracked the evolution of both my musical and "recreational" tastes, growing up in the 70s in Florida.

"Life is a Rock,". . .a staple at the roller skating rink where we'd hang out after school in the 8th grade. But now that tune and those lyrics are stuck in my head. "CBS and Warner Brother, RCA and all the others. . . "

Here's another for the ages:

Smoke of a Distant Fire by the Sanford Townsend Band. . . I don't own it but it sure fits the standard.

Guilty your honor. . . no possibility of parole.
