I'm a sucker for big band, swing, etc. And Christina does a great job with this one. Not that big on Pop, but sometimes, it's good.

The actress playing Debbie Gibson might look somewhat familiar to a few of you...

So i was just looking at Facebook, and a friend of mine had just posted this as a joke, but i think it fits well with the ‘Guilty’ pleasure theme of this thread .

I loved when swing came back for a while.

That too

Overall, I think System of a Down is heavily underrated. A bit crazy, but musically so interesting. Eastern sounds, western Metal, weird lyrics, melodies all over the place, changing time signatures.

one thing for sure.. you can't fall asleep listing to their music.

NSFW language..lol.



Revenga, Violent Pornography... They're songs that should be so stupid, but really stick.

Face, I have a confession.

Hello, darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.
In the Sounds of Silence, in restless dreams I have walked alone,
Along the streets of cobblestone.

I have always viewed artists, musicians, bands, or even performers like Jethro Tull, Dylan, Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones and Simon and Garfunkel as being transcendent artists of their generation. But with some of them, their influence runs a lot deeper and wit, timelessness, originality and universal nature of their appeal, it's like you could picture Dylan, Simon or Garfunkel being successful or well-liked in any time period, whether it's as regional troubadour or wandering bards canvassing the English countryside singing in taverns, pubs during the Middle Ages. Folk music began there with its roots, lyrics, hymns, dirges centuries ago, in a very similar manner and culture that would create bluegrass, acoustic blues in post-Civil War Deep South, and later country. I could certainly envision songs like Sound of Silence, Scarborough Fair, or Bridge over Troubled Water being sung in 13-14th century, during late Middle Ages when European peasants, minor landed gentry, dissident clerics started raising questions about Vaticans control over liturgical rites, Bible not being allowed to be written or spoken in their own languages, as opposed to just Latin. Pamphlets criticizing or accusing the clergy of numerous abuses, ineffectiveness, too rigid, too controlling over ordinary people's lives.

I was fortunate to see Paul Simon last year in NOLA on his farewell tour.. I can safely say that it was a life highlight.. and even though i’m In my 40s, i was probably the youngest person there by 20 years.

Squirrel Nut Zippers were the best.

My musical tastes are very varied, which should come as no surprise to most of you. I have found over time that there are songs I can enjoy from nearly every genre. Therefore I don't think I could post anything which would surprise you as there has been nothing I have liked that surprised me.

I like what I like and I have been known to like just about any music.

The ones that help me laugh at myself are the ones with great beats but are almost female empowerment songs. I stop short of "All the Single Ladies" but there are some that are down that road that will get stuck in my head. I do enjoy laughing at myself.
