Confessions

I'm like Kthomas, like too many genres to afford feeling guilty. I suppose I'm particularly fond of really obscure stuff from the late 60's, early 70's, listening to this stuff really brings to mind the zeitgeist of a unique moment in time.

Just last night, Dana Gillespie, what a find! In the past few weeks music by Mellow Candle, Principle Edwards Magic Theatre, Stud, Giles,Giles & Fripp, Man, Horslips, Sweet Smoke, Wendy/Walter Carlos.

Great thread on guilty pleasures. Barry Manilow! His early songs had incredible hooks, and his live album featured his VSM (Very Strange Medley), which was a string of all the commercial jingles he had written. I also enjoyed some of my kid's tween pop albums from a few years ago (Britney Spears, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys). Lastly, I have a Beth Nielson Chapman album I can't get rid of- it's stunning.

Nena...The Band and the Singer...German language CD's..and yep, i don't know German.

OK, some people are talking about guilty pleasures.

That is NOT really what this thread is about.

It's about listening to music in shared spaces with other people.

That may not share you enthusiasm for the music.

Most of the time its not worth playing certain Artists, if the people in the house respond negative.

Jobim's one artists I can't play around my wife because I know she doesn't like him.

What wont you spin in your house out of concern that you might cause an uproar,and/or unintended fleeing of persons in the house. I suppose this could include someones guilty pleasures, but I'm not saying there is any Guilt involved.

Maybe more a consideration of others than a real fear of there response,although my wife can be/get pretty scary..

This is just for fun.
