Guilty Pleasures: Throwaway Pop

the fact that any non audiophile aproved recording should be considered guilty listening is one of the problems with this hobby. I have a moderatly high end system and own very few probably less than 10 albums/cd that wouldnt fall into your guilty category. My system is about making music i like sound good and tht is the real goal of high-fidelity audio equipment after all.

Shakira's 120 BPM+ groove thang is the 8th wonder of the world. Come to think of it, her music ain't half bad either.

Hey Y'all,

Duran Duran "Rio". Since I've gotten my system to where it is now, I'm rediscovery this recording. It's not half bad.......John

Never feel guilty! Don't throw anything away! Great pop, although a relative rarity these days, is one of life's *genuine* pleasures! Savor it!

Just wanted to add a few artists from another genre, New Age and Electronic: Enya, Kitaro, Tangerine Dream I'm sure many of you have heard, but what about Mark Dwane, Michael Stearns, Patrick O'hearn, Constance Denby, etc.

Two things I've noticed about some of the above is excellent base and the overall sound is usually beyond reproach.
