19. If you don't already have it, get Bill Cosby 'Revenge'. It's awesome.
And it is one of the earlier appearances of "Fat Albert".

13. That's nothing to be embarassed about!
I love Cindy. Great voice and she's one of the few singers who can sing such a wide range of different types of music and allways sound great. And she's got a wickedly weird sense of humour.

Khash.

5. Totally guilty pleasures I should be ASHAMED of....
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 06:49 PM by mcscajun
...so I play them only when No One Else Is Around.

Two (and two ONLY) songs by Michael Bolton: "Love is a Wonderful Thing" and "Time, Love and Tenderness"

Three (and three ONLY) songs by Rick Astley: "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Together Forever", and "It Would Take a Strong, Strong Man"

In my own defense, it's NOT My Fault! I was stuck in an months-long special assignment in the early 90's where the radio was constantly tuned to the sounds of "South Florida's COAST" 97.3 -- and I have always been a sucker for a musical "hook". I just can't help it. Through day after day exposure, those tunes got under my skin, into my brain (as earworms will) and I identify them with the months I spent in steamy, revolting, South Florida, bereft of my own stuff, my own music, and a good part of my sanity.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I throw myself on the mercy of the court...

16. I love "Flight of Icarus"
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly...


The video is completely hilarious - especially when they're in the studio and they turn up the "Eddie" lever. :rofl:

9. I love that CD!
Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and to some extent Madonna I would say are my musical guilty pleasures.

10. If I thought they were bad, I wouldn't be listening to them..
but these give a bit of guilt:

some Britney Spears songs ("Baby One More Time," "Lucky," "Toxic," "Brave New Girl," "Everytime.") I actually like most of In The Zone, but especially those mentioned from it.

Celine Dion's "Falling Into You" and "A New Day Has Come"

Skye Sweetnam (Immature lyrics, but even some critics are recognizing her hooks)

Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping"

Brie Larson (Very pop, but I like her)

Some of the Phil Collins I like is cheesy

Stella Soleil (really pretty clever - but can't sing very well)

Rachel Farris (very young sounding voice, even though she's just a bit younger than me)

newer Hanson (males often like to put them down)

Most of the artists I listen to give me no guilt at all.

Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 07:04 PM by SlavesandBulldozers
home video out there of Danzig getting his ass kicked. It's classic. What's great was that he was provoking the dude that kicked his ass. Danzig pushes the guy (makes the first fight move), then the dude just lays him out.

It really destroyed the myth of the big bad vampiresatanist kungfu master ya know.

anyway though yeah danzig does rock.

ok i got the video for it. don't say i never did anything for you.

29. Got a couple...
"Let Rover Take Over" by Lords of Acid. It's about anal sex.

"Cameltoe" by Fanny Pack. It's just stupid.

"Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang. Oldie, but goodie.
