Guilty Pleasure of the year (god this is so emabarrassing!)

Okay, time to admit what you wouldn't normally even speak of to friends or family, but because this is the Internet our identities are well protected by a screen door thru which anyone can view our personnal info: What was your guilty pleasure music-wise this year? For me, it has to be Elton John's "I Want Love"-who knew the old bag had it in him to record something worth hearing after so long? Never would admit this anywhere esle, but that's just so catchy...:o :o :o :o

When that video first appeared, Tabsy, I commented here about how much I liked the video, and I got some abuse for that.

...Rachel Stevens (S Club 7)... :D

I kinda liked the "Lady Marmalade"(s/p?) video with all the chick singers. One exception: Christina looks even more like a crack-whore than normal.

I never feel guilty about music, it's always a pleasure. That's why I like the shameful Velvets/Ramones ripoff that is the Strokes. Fookin brilliant, best thing to come out of New York since I did the other year.

I can't help singing that 'Can't get you out of my head' by Kylie M.

I liked Lady Marmalade too! I thought Mya looked the best inn the video. Christina looked even more tarty than usual and Li'l Kim's blonde wig did nothing for her at all!

Originally posted by Jeff, just Jeff, no last name Hey Michael...isn't it odd that Christina could be the trashiest looking thing in a video that also featured Little Kim????

HAHAHAHAHA, so sad but so true :p

Maybe it is not guilty but I love Travis' song Sing :)

Alliyah "Try Again". Fucking great song.

Oh please Taboo.....why did you have to say that???

Travis, I thought they were fine until I saw the VH1 story tellers with them. They're like the British equivalent of the backstreet boys, not that I don't mind teenage girls but I don't want to be seen with them at a concert. And I was really disappointed by the new album.

And chopping off the heads of three small children as they walked to school this fall. SSSHHHH, Don't tell anyone, it's a secret!

Big Brother......i know its crap but still couldn't stop watching it

You said it, Shug.

Hey! Only three more to go now. Shug - are ready and willing then, or do you have a similarly perverse streak ready to unleash on us???

OK, Shug, I'm leaving. I'm not waiting around for your number 1,000. I'll congratulate you tomorrow.

Damn right about the Strokes. Maybe not the most original thing to come down the pike, but hell, when it comes on the radio, it sure as heck beats listening to Staind, or Nickelbag, or any of those other dime-a-dozen NuMetal bands that pass for 'alternative' these days. I make sure to turn it up so that the neighbors will hear as well.

My guilty pleasure of the year? Jessica Simpson's 'Irresistable'. Caught myself humming along with it before I knew who it was. Oh my shame knows no bounds now. :o

Now if Jessica Simpson was to come round my flat right now, I might have to log off !!

Here's another vote for The Strokes; such a pleasant change from Fred Durst and his legions from Hell.

Heard the Strokes album for the first time last night. Pleasantly suprised. Gilty pleaseures...listening to lots of CCafe Del Mar comps and getting abuse for it. Or taking a Pete Tong mix CD from 98 with 'Music Sounds better with you' among others and playing it loud when on Holiday.

Oh...liking that Superman Lovers song 'Starlight'..gone off them since the 60mph remix of course

No excuse for liking Elton John at all. Should have kept that one as secret Tabsy.

Since when was listening to Cafe del mar compilations a crime? I love my summer, chill out vibes, looking out the window though, I don't think I can quite summon the mood.

they don't really work when its f'ing freezing like at the mo do they? Its not so much of a crime listening to them - but I'd always given 'Chill out' mouthfuls of abuse previously, until this summer that is, when i played em endlessly.

That fantastic record that went "Just 'cos she dance the go-go/That don't make her a 'ho, NO!". Was it wise old man Wyclef Jean?

Otherwise, my dreams have been haunted by Niaomi Watts ever since I saw David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive". Film of the year, no bloody question!

Perfect Gentleman by Wyclef. A horrible and embarassing record indeed. Mind you it deserves credit for the line 'I'll tell my mama I'm in love with da stripper, Yo!' What a charmer...

Why were you previously slagging them off? I first visited the Cafe del Mar in 1992, it took me about 4 days to find it, only about 1 in 100 of the people in San Antonio were clubbers in those days, there were only about 3 or 4 bars there with D.J.'s apart from the cheesy ones. Nowadays Savanah and Mambo's music play's over the D.J. at Cafe del Mar,it's criminal.I know us old farts are prone to whinging about how things aren't as good as they used to be,and i'm sure it's still possible to have a great holiday in Ibiza but my first visit to KU now Privilege was awe inspiring, a club with a swimming pool, birds stripping off and swimming in it, I mentioned ages ago I was there when it went on fire, the fire actually salvaged the night, prior to it, it was like playing sardines with cluelss scandanavian dorks, no offence to any scandanavians but they weren't there for the music, just as tourists. the swimming pool was covered over with metal sheeting, so as to cram even more people in. Only when the fire scared some of them off was there any room to dance or anything worth remembering the night for.If you do make it there I'd give it a wide birth.SPACE, and Pacha are much better, DC10 looks good, didn't make it there. I'd advise against staying in Ibiza town,unless you take about £2000.00 spends. It's alright for journos with free access everywhere but there's only the bars overlooking the harbour(£3.00 or £4.00 a drink, you might just spot an obscure D.J.) unless you like very gay bars. Much better to get somewhere nice in San An, close to the 'May' department store near the harbour or towards Cafe del Mar,Beware if you go further into the centre, like I did once some bizarre squady, brought out a huge stereo and started playing some weird loyalist marching band music, and no-one else thought it was strange. San An has enough bars to have a good night out, open till about 4am. if You've enough stamina for a club everynight Ibiza town might be better or Playa den Bossa where SPACE is, no decent bars but it also has 'Bora Bora' beach, I stayed there last time and and as I walked along the beach from the far end where our hotel was, I couldn't keep the smile of my face as I got closer and felt the Bass pumping out.
