"Guilty Pleasure" Music?

Just heard this on Sirius XMU last night. My kind of Christmas song. NYC punk band The So So Glos with Spider Stacy from The Pogues.

That's some heavy metal bands you've got there. Glad you tackled the dark years in your life and willing to share it so I'm guessing you're all good now.

Yep, I always remember the Dolly Madison commercials.

All good! It's not quite Unicorns farting rainbows but there you go.

Besides, you get to the point you see memories in decades, the sharp edges start getting worn down.

Now, I'm just a boring old man and I'm definitely good with that!!!

I remember a bunch of us used to listen to this in the car coming back after surfing.

Another favorite track from the same album.

Merry Christmas!!!

When I was a kid my cousin (who has 10 years on me) let me look after his record collection while he was moving around for a few years. That box of records greatly influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life. I had never heard bands like Led Zeppelin, Traffic, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer (my dad would listen to The Who, Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears and stuff like that). I do remember this record was in that box along with the live Woodstock album.

This album later became one of my favorites.

The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You.   I have never been a big folk guy but this tune tune just hits me somehow.

 

OMG The Seekers. YES. Along with a few others, they were the soundtrack of my childhood and their music stirs wonderful memories. This week as news programs present memoriams to those who passed in 2022, Judith Durham has been featured. The clarity of her voice is like an angel, which this week has led me to sort of trash out on Seekers music I haven't listened to in decades.

I can remember this song one day on the beach in the middle of the summer in Wildwood NJ when I was a kid. I can still smell all the coconut suntan oil the girls had all over them mixing with the salt air.

There shouldn't be any guilt for liking Miles Davis....... 

[Calb56]

Godley and Creme, I've loved them since my early 20s...

 

[Calb56]

Just saying...

I've been going back to the early Traffic that I loved so much around the same time I discovered good music like Led Zeppelin and Cream and stuff like that. Recently, my sister was playing music while in the kitchen and she was digging on Spencer Davis Groups "I'm a Man" and she couldn't believe that that was a 16-year-old Steve Winwood on vocals. Look how young they all look.

Before Carrie Underwood, there was Kelly Clarkson, with this BADASS tune:
