What's your dirty little secret?

Just had a funny thing happen to me at my flat, so thought I'd see if anyone cares to join in:

A friend is staying with me returned back from doing some food shopping (I'm holed up sick) and entered the apartment to find me rocking out to The Association's "Windy" coming from my crappy computer speakers. After almost succumbing to a laughter-induced heart attack, he managed to get out the following sentence: "Dude, what the sh*t are you listening to?"

So what's your guilty pleasure? What do you listen to that would suprise your friends? (I mean, I'm not embarrased about anything I listen to, but we've all got 'em, those records we only pull out when we're alone because it's just easier not explaining!)

I like Stan Getz, Joni Mitchell, Miles, Bob Marley, Yo La Tengo and others but when I'm home alone with a private listening session ahead of me I sometimes have to pull out the HAWKWIND and up the volume to 11. SPACE IS DEEP! SONIC ATTACK! How did Howard Dean say it... EEeehhaawww!!!
Sure hope I don't get any phone calls!

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Oh, wait, that wasn't me.

My wife and I are 95% classical listeners so these are mine (generally when She's not home):

Rock:

Van Halen - 1984.
Elton John - just turned down the lights and totally blasted Funeral For a Friend the other night! (wife included for that one).
Neil Diamond - Greatest Hits

My Classical dirty laundry:
The Canadian Brass - Four Seasons

Other:
Brass Ring - Disadvantages of You

BTW - The whole Windy album is great - IMO, Windy isn't even one of the best tracks on the lp.
