Guilty Pleasure recording?

I will date myself by this, and hate to admit to it, but one of the reasons that I love getting into vinyl now, is that there is some music that is not available digitally. I wish I could say I was talking about some legendary, sublime classic recording of a great orchestral performace, but instead in this instance I am talking about bad 80's rock.

Right now I am listening to my guilty pleasure record: The Producers "You Make the Heat". No one ever likes it as much as I do when I play it for them. Some have heard "She Shiela", but usually they have not heard the album before, and don't care to again. But I love it.

Anyone have bad, guilty pleasure records, that are not available digitally, probably because there is no demand?

I'm sure these will "date" me. Here goes-

"Magic Carpet Ride"-Steppenwolf
"Hush"- Deep Purple
"Gotta Get a Message to You"-Bee Gees
"Dancing Queen"-ABBA
"Midnight Confessions"-Grassroots
"Amy"-Pure Prairie League
"Nights in White Satin"-Moody Blues

Go easy on me mates :-)

"Around the World with Three Dog Night" a double live album from 1973. One of the coolest album jackets in my collection - if anyone has it you know what I mean. Specific cuts: 'Joy to the World', 'Never Been to Spain', 'Liar', 'Mama Told Me Not to Come' and 'Eli's Coming'. Without question the best versions of these songs that I have ever heard by them.

The old "Stereophonic Records".

The sound of that train going from my left ear to my right turns me on!

Now, that's Stereo! Goddamn!

I wish my guilty pleasures included Hush and Magic Carpet Ride, those are just good songs!! Also, the 3 Dog Nt sounds awesome. Never Been to Spain, what a great song. Got another record to hunt for now!!

I occasionally listen to Yes. Terrible lyrics, god awful, but you have to love those bass lines.
