Favorite Band

On the drive in this morning I was listening to the radio, and heard Eddie Grant singing 'Electric Avenue.' I was taken back to the days when I actually *liked* this song and played it a top volume...

That got me thinking about the music that I liked as I was growing up and am now deeply ashamed to admit too. My top three;

1. 'Safety Dance' Men Without Hats
2. 'All out of love' Air Supply
3. 'Electric Avenue' Eddie Grant

And it hasn't changed...I still like the songs, but they have been suplanted with new songs that I like, but am ashamed to admit too.

'Slim Shady' Eminem
'Lucky' Britney Spears
'Pieces of Me' Ashley Simpson

So what songs do you like that you don't readily admit to listening too?

I forgot to add anything and everything by Ratt.

Guilty pleasures.

Men without hats, what an idiot. Thanks for the catch. Can't even blame it on being Monday.

I have that on vinyl. You know... those big black slow CD's.

I also have Flock of Seagulls "Listen" ep in picture disk (and Planet P Project "Pink World" on pink vinyl).
