Props And Missives No. 18 - 20 Guilty Pleasures
Posted by: Fusion 45 in Props and MissivesRock Revival, via Layla’s classic Rock Faves, seeks out 20 Guilty Pleasures. Herein lies my confession:
- Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun
- Barry Manilow - Tryin’ To Get The Feelin’
- Charlene - Never Been To Me
- The Association - Windy
- Bobby Darin - Splish Splash
- 98 Degrees - Because Of You
- ABBA - Waterloo
- Helen Reddy - Angie Baby
- Yvonne Elliman - I Don’t Know How To Love Him
- Fifth Dimension - Wedding Bell Blues
- Missing Persons - Destination Unknown
- The Commodores - Still
- FYC - She Drives Me Crazy
- Fame - I Sing The Body Electric
- A Chorus Line - What I Did For Love
- Mocedades - Eres Tu
- Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider
- The Bells - Stay Awhile
- The Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
- The Osmonds - Down By The Lazy River
The key to this list: don’t listen to them all at once, lest you slip into a diabetic coma, and, always have a 20-song antidote list in your pocket (kind of like a snake bite kit)
The Antidote List
- Joan Armatrading - Merchant of Love
- John Hiatt - Is Anybody There
- Lyle Lovett - Step Inside This House
- Billy Pilgrim - Halfway Home
- Barenaked Ladies - Lovers In A Dangerous Time
- The Band - The Weight (the version with the Staples Singers)
- Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Darcy Farrow
- Buffalo Springfield - For What It’s Worth
- Nils Lofgren - Wonderland
- Tower of Power - Don’t Change Horses
- Earth, Wind and Fire - In The Stone
- Rory Block - The Last Leviathan
- Warren Zevon - Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
- Al Stewart - Year of The Cat (there’s some debate which list gets this one)
- Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell
- Little Richard - Tutti Frutti
- Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up
- U2 - One Tree Hill
- Stephen Stills - Singin’ Call
- Steve Earle -Copperhead Road
Phew…I feel better now…
