guilty pleasures

bring me your sins and i will absolve you.

i don't want any of your post-modern ironic or reappraised shit it's ok to like. i want your dirty little secrets. the stuff you NEVER admit to, except when you're alone at home at 3am nursing a half-empty bottle of grand marnier.

i’ll open with early billy joel. yeah, you heard me. there’s more, if anyone else is playing...

Yeah, but come on: you've already got a qualifier there with "early".....bit lame, no???

I honestly think Betty Boo is/was the greatest thing to happen to pop music in the 1990s. I also genuinely believe that if you combine the best bits of the aformentioned Sugababes & Girls Aloud singles collections you have pretty much the greatest cultural contribution to the emergent 21st Century thsu far.

I also had a wank over Sinitta when she was on Top of the Pops circa 1988.

Going to a Girls Aloud gig in August as part of a stag weekend .Should be quality

Sugababes- About You Now.Superb track

Totally in love with Gwen Stefani's song 'Cool'

She is rubbish and my ears piss blood at her other stuff but this song is nectar..

Likewise,Macca's Band on the Run-Class.

I wanked furiously over Madonna's Hanky Panky video circa 92,dirty bitch.

Edit: Wet Wet Wet-Sweet little Mystery.

Was at a Neil Diamond concert last Saturday the shame

actually, it wasn't the worst way to spend 2 hours . . . . far from the best either

But, I saw him 'in the round' in the RDS about 18 years ago & he WAS excellent then (honestly)

Did Neil sing Skybird?

but i don't LIKE his later stuff. do you want me to pretend i do? where will it end?

now, 'an innocent man' - that's another story. and i could hedge and bluff with an "i was only 8 when uptown girl came out", but the truth is i was bopping along to 'tell her about it' and snivelling along with 'leave a tender moment alone' only the other night.

do you still wank over sinitta?

pure pop perfection. no shame there.

Divine Inspiration - The Way pure pop perfection

I like Frente!'s BLT cover....alot

Late 80's Stock, Aitken & Waterman i.e. Kylie Astley etc..

I've got a recording of Duran Duran singing Come Up and See Me Make Me Smile and I really love it, despite knowing that it's utter shit.

The Blondie Album 'Live in New York' inhabits the same place in my heart, apart from Under the Gun which lives in the ventricle I call "pop perfection".

'I think we're alone now' by Tiffany.

'Billy don't be a hero' by Paper lace

Both records used to get played on a regular basis up until a few years ago.

Might even give them a spin later. Anyone want to come over for a shandy vinyl mayhem?:o

I have in my time,drunkenly murdered that song by karaoke...

good god, yes

can i bring some fleetwood mac (the LATER stuff, the dross)?

Boney M.

People might say Peter Gabriel is a guilty pleasure but He's fucking great.

I did pay a reasonable amount of money to watch Genesis last year, and that was an excellent show.

I'm going to watch The Police tonight. Does that count?

One of the best pop drum lines ever.

Don't feel guilty about that

keisha white - don't mistake me katie melua's version of just like heaven and while we're at it, i'm not averse to that other one she did.

i can't help it. oh the depths of my depravity.

bless me, father.

I find "Last Christmas" very moving.

I went to see George Michael live not so long ago and really enjoyed it.

I once went to the public toilet outside the Beverley Hills Hotel where George tried to wank off a copper, stood in the specific cubicle and found it all unspeakably exciting.

It's the 21st Century - should I feel guilty about any of this?

Skybird: I'm fairly sure he didn't sing that (I tuned my head out for some of the concert )

Wank: not that I saw, but there were a lot of wankers there, so . .

Does it have to be a music based guilty pleasure?

if not mine's watching Doctors on bbc on a weekday afternoon.

Thank god we're moving away from music!!!

Mine is peeping through the windows of the old folks home next door and watching them get changed for bed.......Feel better for getting that one off my chest!

I like Casualty the only soap I've ever watched and ever will.

what do you want - moral impunity?

not on my watch, soldier.

without guilt we're no better than protestants.

yea i did go see sugababes because of some top songs. i love top loader's version of dancing in the moonlight and i often play it when i am pissed and dance around the living room to it. ive sometimes watched countdown just to see what carol voderman is wearing.

Bit Nawwtee but,Dwarves are extremely funny when they run,I think.Proper funny. Their heads look massive aswell. I know this one near me who I see out running,and he does'nt have a forehead,he has a fivehead.Wow!

Well,he keeps me amused when I'm not rimming the cat.

ooh, Take That (but then you knew that already...)

and of course, that old favourite, Gregory Abbott's 'Shake you Down'

Nora, is that you?

hmmm, no it's not. but i have a sneaking suspicion as to who it might be...

one of the lesbians.

just a hunch.

who the fuck is gregory abbott, you big lemon?

and why is there no mention of bill tarmey?

Genesis: GUILTY

The Police: Not guilty

Sting: GUILTY

*ahem*

Clay Aiken.

Why, only New York's finest soul-musician (keys and drums), singer, composer and producer (according to Wiki)

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a word invented to describe t' type of pleasure associated with listening to Bill Tarmey. I therefore thought it inappropriate to bring him up here on this particular thread. mmm...although...is there a word that's worse than shame?...

Oooh, how about Aqua?!

I remember when this used to be a nice family site.

I watch episodes of Maury, Judge Judy, and Jerry Springer sometimes on YouTube.

i must have been mistaken. now i come to think of it, i don't know any lesbians at all.

I know,it's wonderful.Let's dance and sing along to it,you and I...Marvelous!

Except it's no longer available,according to my screen! Curses.

what we do is, we don't use the official vid ;)

i've been skipping around my classroom to this ever since you mentioned it. it makes me go all tingly.

This is so romantic.You must be THE ONE! Let's blow this gaff,make haste and ride off into the sunset...

Hang on,hang on..I just listened to that,and it is at least as tinny as Tinny,out of Tinny and Susanna.. It sounds nasty and shite,which is almost always an unpalatable combination.Not a fair reflection of a lovely little ditty at all.Bang out,infact.

does that mean the elopement's off?

try it now, dearest.

That's what I'm talkin bout babe! Gretna?? Football team there is right up the stick,but I don't give a fuck if you don't!

Have you been flouncing around your class room singing this? I'm going to do it at our works,fairs fair.

i really, really have. only when it's empty, of course. i'm on the top floor so no-one bothers coming to check up on me. you should definitely give it a whirl - it's intoxicating.

gretna's perfect. i'll pack a bag.
