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?

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.

"Life is a Rock" and Queen "The Game" I am on my way to the Cactus records to look through the $1 bin. Good calls. I don't think those have been re-issued on 180g vinyl.

"Magic Carpet Ride"-Steppenwolf
"Hush"- Deep Purple
"Gotta Get a Message to You"-Bee Gees
"Dancing Queen"-ABBA
"Midnight Confessions"-Grassroots
"Amy"-Pure Prairie League
"Nights in White Satin"-Moody Blues

Go easy on me mates :-)

"Around the World with Three Dog Night" a double live album from 1973. One of the coolest album jackets in my collection - if anyone has it you know what I mean. Specific cuts: 'Joy to the World', 'Never Been to Spain', 'Liar', 'Mama Told Me Not to Come' and 'Eli's Coming'. Without question the best versions of these songs that I have ever heard by them.

The old "Stereophonic Records".

The sound of that train going from my left ear to my right turns me on!

Now, that's Stereo! Goddamn!
