I'v e got this fancy music system in my shop that is loaded with tracks, but one seems to play more than any other........

Girlfriend in a Coma.

Very, well strange song. But I quite like it.

I thought this was music you're are embarrassed to listen to? Why is anyone ashamed of The Smiths, JAMC, Edwyn Collins etc?

I'm not young, ironic, cool or stuff, and never was, even when I was young.

I just don't think singles collections have much credibility.

this:

isn't a guilty pleasure, but this surely is:


as my gf said the first time I played it "let the Warhammer battle begin..."

I've got Broadsword & The Beast.  Didn't wanna blow it all at once. 

From the Crest of a Knave LP. 

Steel Monkey

As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.   

Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
I'm going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. I'll give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.   

Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey.
   
Now some men hustle and some just think.
And some go running before you blink.
Some look up and some look down
from three hundred feet above the ground.

Can you guess my name? And can you guess my trade?
Well, I won't rest before the world is made.
Arm in arm the angels fly.
Keep me from falling out the sky.

Steel monkey.

I work in the thunder and I work in the rain.
I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain.
I work on women, if they want me to.
You can have me climb all over you.

Now, have you guessed my name?
And have you guessed my trade?
I'm cheap at the money I get paid.
In the sulphur city, where men are men,
we bolt those beams then climb again.

Steel monkey.

So crass it's class.




(I think Edwyns' cheese drivvel but I love that song)

The Smiths? Prob shouldn't be here, they are great despite or inspite of Morrissey, shirley?

The Smiths are good. Its Morrissey that pisses me off, moaning git. Never listened to them as much until I started with this new sterio in the shop. I think this may be the reason for my Morrissey hatred building up.

To redeem myself for dragging the Smiths into this, a quick search on my laptop has discovered 2 contnders.



The lovely Kelly Carkson



And Girls Aloud.....

Um, no explanation for these.

Mr Blue Sky by ELO just came on the radio, and it put a big smile on my face. The sun was streaming in through the window and I just felt really happy.

Pure cheese, but who cares! :dance1:

Kelly Clarskon and Girls Aloud along are two of my main guilty pleasures as well. Also fond of a bit of Britney at times.

Sweet Talkin' Woman by ELO is also absolute class!

 :agree:

Yeah I'm not having that. The Smiths as a guilty pleasure? Please.

And it's not like I'm a big fan. It's just that as "credible" music goes you don't really get much more so.

Kylie is my guilty pleasure. Dragged the Mrs to see her in Manchester just before she got ill (Kylie that is, the Mrs just got drunk). She was class (applies to both).

OK I confess. Was listening to Space's Greatest Hits on the way to work this morning. It's crap, but great.

I have to admit this........That Miley Cyrus tune (See You Again) is a great pop record and I love it.

I feel purged.

I don't know if mine count cause I'm not really embarrased  :-\  I have plenty I should be ashamed of though, Belinda Carlisle, Enrique Iglesias, Garth Brooks, there are more I'm sure.

I also get shouted at for owning albums by Newton Faulkner, Keane and James Blunt, it's probably deserved though.  :spank:
