Guilty Pleasures



garfish’s recent thread on c/w music brought to mind the “guilty pleasures” admissions recently submitted by TAS writers and reviewers. a “guilty pleasure,” roughly speaking, is a musical selection one adores but plays only in secret, fearing its publication as an audiophile’s favorite might elicit ridicule or, at least, laughter. so, fellow a-goners, are you willing to confess to a couple of your guilty pleasures? I’ll start with two and add others if this thread gets going: (1) “not for kids only,” j. garcia & d. grisman; (2) ‘the little mermaid,” OST.

I like Disney sountracks, too. How about Beauty and the Beast? My most guilty pleasure, though, is Michael Jackson's Thriller. I can't hear it too many times.

I have an original 45 RPM local Athens, Georgia recording of the B52s singing "Rock Lobster". It was made before they were famous and is 1000% better than the glossy over-produced version made later, that is on their first big album, that you all may be familiar with. I love to play it once in a while, and then usually three times in a row. I also have an old 45 RPM record of Ernie from Sesame Street singing "Rubber Duckie". Cute stuff !!!

I am big on Henry Mancicni though the only CD that I have now is "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I remember my mother dancing to the Cha Cha Cha number and my father and sister playing Moon River on the piano as a duet with my father heavily improvising. I also like the theme song to "Exodus" as well as many others. Everyone in my family played the piano, with the exception of my mother, and I grew up with a lot of soundtrack music of the 50's and 60's.
