Guilty Pleasures

Whatever musical genre you favour, there's always the odd song that crops up that we like for inexplicable reasons; but do we need a reason ?, I guess a good song is a good song period.

Here's one of mine a one hit wonder from the blistering summer of 1976 (I think the memories of that summer may be a factor); The Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight.  8)

Valleyboy, My guilty pleasure would have to be The Pina Colada song by Rupert Holmes. Closely followed by Lucky Stars by Dean Friedman.

Nice one Rindaloo, love the Waterboys and this track in particular, poetry courtesy of Mr W.B. Yeats.- Love the Men Without Hats one also.

We bought some new cd's to take to Calis with us recently.  One of them was by Solomon Burke - what a gorgeous voice he has.

My obvious favourite is:-
