Subject: RE: Guilty Pleasures From: Amos Date: 09 Mar 00 - 05:26 PM Take the first 25 cuts (if there are that man unrepeated!) from an Oldies staion and tack them on to the list..."When a Man Loves a Woman" although stunning in its simplicity, should be on the overworn list; "Respect", "Midnight Hour", "Ferry Cross the Mersey", "Silly Love Songs", bletchhhhh, "Teenager in Love", etc., the list goes on and on... |
Subject: RE: Guilty Pleasures From: Mbo Date: 09 Mar 00 - 04:55 PM As Mudcat's resident Electric Light Orchestra authority, I can inform you that "Love is Like Oxygen" is definately NOT and ELO song, it is, though by Sweet..hee hee! BTW "Body Language" is by Queen. Here's my list: The Fields of Athenry My Sweet Lord--George Harrison Stairway to Heaven--Led Zeppelin Closing Time--Semisonic Let Her Cry--Hootie & The Blowfish All Star--Smash Mouth Anything by America (I LOVE them!) --Mbo |
Subject: RE: Guilty Pleasures From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 09 Mar 00 - 02:17 PM The "played out thing" might be valid for the record, but most of them don't get done too often in folk sessions, and so long as you aren't trying to make like the record, any good song is welcome by me.
And half the ones mentioned I've never consciously heard anyway. |
Subject: RE: Guilty Pleasures From: Peg Date: 09 Mar 00 - 12:54 PM ooh, yes, "Love is Like Oxygen" is a great song! But it is not by ELO, it is by Sweet (I think???? am I wrong here?)

Subject: Guilty Pleasures From: Peg Date: 09 Mar 00 - 11:34 AM well I just read through the "saccharine" thread and laughed my ass off!!! Then I thought, okay, what about those songs we actually *love* that a great many people think are goofy or dated or what have you? And I am talking here about *good* songs which are inherently *not* treacly or sentimental, but which, with overplaying or time or forgotten context, perhaps, have somewhat lost their relevance or zip? Ahem!! I will get the ball rolling with: In the Year 2525 by Zagar and Evans Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues San Francisco Girls by Fever Tree American Pie by Don McLean White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Lady by Styx The Spirit or Radio (or anything) by Rush Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult Dust in the Wind by Kansas Piano Man by Billy Joel Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas anyone????
