Guilty Pleasures: Throwaway Pop


Time to get off our "high horses" and to admit to cheap thrills in our collections...stuff that is instantly disposable...but never sounded so good...I vote the Sweet,the Babys,the Romantics,the Knack, and the Cars...hopefully I havent tarnished my impeccable music reputation(ha!)...add Cheap Trick....

This is an easy one! Growing up in the 70's and 80's it has to be DISCO!! Donna Summer! KC and the Sunshine Band! Parliament! I could go on but will stop. I could also add a few that are still around like Madonna and Janet Jackson. I guess the only problem is that I dont feel quilty and I make no appologies. :)

Happy Listening!!
Phasecorrect, aside from Cheap Trick, your impeccable reputation remains intact. Mitcheft, on the other hand, has some serious explaining to do. :)

Some of my fun oldies but goodies that also show some pretty good sonics (though not every track) include:

Alan Parson's Project: Turn of a Friendly Card.
Bob James: Touchdown.
Grover Washington: Anthology of.
Herb Alpert: Definitive Hits.
William Ackerman: Past Light
Isley Brothers: Ultimate
Chicago: Greatet Hits.
Al Stewart: Year of the Cat.
Phil Collins: ...Hits.
Jeffrey Osborne: Ultimate Collection
Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood

Some of these are pretty compressed recordings. The worst is the Isley Bros.. Nevertheless, after recent cabling and amp upgrades, most of these have become amazingly 3-demensional and involving.

I listened my old Grand Funk Railroad Greatest Hits recently. This recording is hopeless.

-IMO
I admit it, I have many lps from the 60s, 70s and 80s that I still like to listen to: Journey, REO, Styx, Human League, The Babys, etc.

So shoot me!
