What do you listen to when no one else can hear it

Everyone has something they like to listen to, but won't play it when their friends are around for fear of getting abused. What are your recordings that you don't play for friends, but will put on when no one else is around.

To break the ice, I'll go first.

The Carpenters - from their last LP that came out right after Karen died - "Make believe it's your first time."

Don't be a coward, fess up!

If you want a Mancini album that really cooks try "The Big Latin Band". The recording quality is exceptional for it's time, hell it's good for even now! Most of the songs are not Mancini's so they aren't on any other albums/CD's. I loved it as a kid and I like it now. I had borrowed the album in the 70's but the CD sounds just as good. It's a must have.

Thanx,
Russ

"Gates of Delirium" from Yes Relayer album.
But hey, I play "Soon" after from the same album (very nice Jon Anderson singing) to calm my wife and let her down the ceiling where she climbed!!
Blkadr agree on Crimson's Lark!!

The Latin Playboys. An experimental venture by Los Lobos members David Hidalgo and Louie Perez. Elements of Latin, Blues, Acid Rock, Jazz and Beat poetry. Not mainstream enough for most of my friends. There's a couple of cuts on the excellent 'Desperado' film soundtrack, perhaps another album that would fall into this category for me.

Reinhard Fendrich "Wart' bis hamlich wird und stü" from his "Wien bei Nacht" album.
Sung in Austrian German, most find it hard to understand the accent but is a very emotional song.
