Guilty Pleasures

Songs you wouldn't normally admit to liking.

Do you have any favourite songs or artists which are for some reason confined to your own personal listening? Those tracks or singers which are low in credibility or are cringeworthy in the extreme with their lyrics but to you are for some reason, enjoyable?

Post them here.

I'll start with this one. I know nothing else about Rupert Holmes, it's not him which is the issue here but the song. Who cannot agree that this record is simply a great little story?

Herman and his Hermits.

no milk today.

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

Very sad but catchy tune.

On a par with that other juvenile nursery rhyme, Yellow Submarine I think.

Re: Guilty Pleasures

I don't have guilty pleasures. My guiding principle is if it is any good I'll listen and might even buy.

I love that song Floydy. I think it has a good message too.
