NEVER BE ASHAMED OF THE MUSIC YOU LIKE. IF IT DOES IT FOR YOU ITS MAGIC.
this should be pinned lmao
Absolutely!!!
Be ashamed of typing in all caps.
@@b.g.5869 EXACTLY
Ok
ABBA was great, love their music 👍
"Fooled Around and Fell In Love". Great tune. Hard to believe it was Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship/Starship fame on vocals. He built that city...
He built that city but then tore it down with Starship POP bottles hehe
That is a great song👍
but you got to remember about Mickey he was one of the original voices of the Elvin Bishop band before he would go on and to Jefferson Starship on freedom at point zero in 79
Winery Dogs version of Fooled Around and Fell In Love… check it out, and more importantly, check them out.
I love the Monkees and I'm not ashamed. They are stocked full of brilliant melodies and amazing musicianship. Great pop tunes.
Many thanks to the Wrecking Crew there..
Ditto. But early on Carl King, Neil Diamond, et al were writing all their hits. And I loved their inane TV show as a 7 yr old kid. Even built a Monkeymobile model!
Plesent Valley Sunday! The Porpoise Song....the Monkees were great.
@@Pwrcritter Well that theory has been squashed, half Wrecking Crew half actual Band and half outside writers. Im a huge fan, my favorite album is the one where they actually play on it. Headquarters! No I'm discounting the fabulous Hal Blaine, Eddie Ho or other Members of the Crew.
"I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone" although they didn't write it, they performed it the best! My FAV!
You are Spot on about the song Brandy. I don't know anyone over 40 years old who doesn't LOVE that song.
Brandy was one of my ex step mother's favorite songs too.
What is "Brandy"?
I owned the album by Looking. Glass and the 45. The B side of the 45 was called Jenny Lynn If my fading memory is still serving.
Definitely a great all time classic.
AND some of the band went on to Starz...
Player "Baby Come Back" The guitar solo in that song is actually pretty good.
Session players all over that album.
All-time favorite
Yes i agree with.you.i like this song.i like the guitar melody My memory song
Villaboy So called “yacht rock” Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Player, and Ace, these tunes and acts get a lot of hate but you are right, the records are littered with session players, insane production level and musicianship
Yes i agree with you
Year of the 🐱 - Al Stewart
Eye in the Sky - Alan Parsons Project
Sailing - Christopher Cross
IGY - Donald Fagen
Babe - Styx
Head over Heels - Tears for Fears
More Than Words - Extreme
Kiss on My List - Hall& Oates
Why are these guilty pleasures?
In what world is eye in the sky a guilty pleasure. Everyone likes that song
Here is a list of mine
Bread - Guitar man
Abba - does your mother know
Promises - baby its you
Incredible bongo band - bongo rock
Albert Hammond - its never rains in California
Rupert hine - misplaced love
Linda Ronstadt - your no good
Hot chocolate - emma
Nena - 99 luftballons
The guess who - clap for the wolfman
Reo speedwagon - cant fight this feeling
Runaways - cherry bomb
And too many more to mention
There is something in the silly songs that makes us more human. Your memories help to enjoy the presentation. For me the voice of Karen Carpenter is like the smell of bread.
Manuel Valcárcel Great way to describe Karen’s voice. Warm sound.
I don’t care WHO you are and what TYPE of music you like...if you don’t like the voice of Karen Carpenter you are dead...you have no soul. You are a motionless rock!
Michael Klausen amen no guilt here at all. I flat out love her and don’t care what anyone says.
I still have a crush on her...and still cry when I hear her sing the line "...and when my life is over" on A Song For You.
Pop songs have an important spot in music... so many times they are bookmarks for our lives. I hear "Monday, Monday" by they Mamas & Papas and I'm sent back to Jr Hi School and pining after Janet (who crushed me with, "you're just like a brother to me). Great show, thanks!!!
"joy to the world" 3 dog night,'"play that funky music",Wild Cherry and of course "hot child in the city",Nick Gilder
"Take a Chance on Me" is a masterpiece.
For me ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’ is the best record Kiss ever made. Catchy as hell, great hooks and a fantastic production (those whip cracks!)

Time after time , amazing otherwise it would not have been covered by Miles Davis .
While playing in a Heavy Metal band in the 70's I'd always pop the Carpenters and Bread into the 8 track driving between gigs.
Toni Iomi did the same thing back in the day
Bread was the shit.
My dad was mostly into big band stuff, but had a bunch of folk rock albums and those are the albums I would listen to and The Carpenters was one of my favs, so was Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Croce.
Carpenters had some great guilty pleasure songs. Superstar, Top Of The World.
Actually, Sonic Youth has a great remake of Superstar, and an all girl Japanese punk rock band called Shonen Knife has a great remake of Top Of The World.
@@Grandizer8989 So did Tony Iommi.
“Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne.
See, why would you feel guilty about that?
The singer passed aeay due to corona right?
The lyrics are a bit iffy but it is catchy as fuck.
My top ten(+) guilty pleasures
10. The Hollies "The air that I breathe"
09. Simple Minds "Sanctify yourself"
08. The Buggles "Video killed the radio star"
07. Abba "Dancing queen"
06. The Raspberries "Go all the way"
05. Benny Mardones "Into the night"
04. Linda Rondstadt "You're no good"
03. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons "Who loves you"
02. B-52s "Roam"
**TIE***
01. Al Stewart "The year of the cat"
01. 10cc "I'm not in love"
Great choices, I share most of them.
The Air That I Breathe is a FANTASTIC song! Good choices on the others, as well.
Video killed the radio star is a perfect song. Happy every time I hear it.
There's nothing "guilty" about liking ABBA even if you are a metalhead. They are the most non-metal metal band. and a big inspiration for a lot of European metal bands, a lot of them have also covered their songs.
Ellie Goulding’s ‘Lights Calling’ and Demi Lovato’s ‘Cool for the Summer’
Glen Campbell - "Southern Nights", Starbuck - " Moonlight (Feels Right)", Jay Ferguson - "Thunder Island"
Skinzz
All good songs.
Thunder island is a great song
Never be ashamed of Glen Campbell.
Jay Ferguson is doing a lot of work on tv shows now. As for ‘Thunder Island’, everyone recognizes that slide guitar sound, right? The one and only Joe Walsh.
@@sgtBelson Yessireee!! The one and only Joe Walsh!! Everytime I hear a song with slide guitar I always say its Joe Walsh LOL!!!
Probably my favourite guilty pleasure song is "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies.
Yes! Also love the cover by Mary Lou Lord & Semisonic.
Classic
Archies is MASSIVELY underrated band/project. They had some really good albums.
I love the cover by Wilson Pickett.
That song is particularly cheesy and kind of childish, in terms of lyrical content. Not my fav, but, it´s fun to listen to it, from time to time. Hence, it´s a good example of what a guilty pleasure is.
How about “Ah Leah” by Donnie Iris and “No time to lose” by Tarney Spencer band?
Those are great songs why would they be guilty pleasure?
Have you heard any other Tarney Spencer band songs? They have a few other good ones. Donnie Iris also has love is like a rock another great tune!
Yes and yes.
Scott No time to lose is a great song and I’m not guilty at all lol
Brings me back to freshman
The Partridge Family was my first "rock" band I watched when I was a kid. I had all the albums and the David Cassidy solo stuff too. Still some great pop songs since they were all written and recorded by studio session people of the utmost caliber.
The Partridge Family sounds like The Archies, part 2. I can´t call them a rock band. It´s more pop than rock, actually.
I love The Partridge Family, especially the songs Summer Days, I Woke Up In Love This Morning, and I Would Have Loved You Anyway. Really great quality pop songs.
"Goodbye to Love" by the Carpenters. Kick-ass guitar solo, inventing the power ballad, one of the most subtle key changes in any song .... what's not to like?
Not guilty pleasure at all, that is a game changing record. Now Please Mister Postman...yeah that is one of my g. Pleasures..lol..
Superstar....
Fantastic!!
" Crazy Horses!" The Osmond Bros is my guilty pleasure. It's good and you know it!! LOL
Another GP of mine! Think I'll look it up and play it!
Crazy heavy tune from lightweight Osmonds! Dig it!
Heavier than some metal bands!!
I remember that tune!😄👍
@@creech54 Me too!
Come on Eilene, Dexie's Midnight Runners
Got that one and the Safe Ferries cover.
That's actually one of the best pop songs ever I'd imagine. Love the song
Not a guilty pleasure song at all. Everyone loves that song.
Love the band...but that one is irritating!!
Friggin' awesome song. Everyone likes it whether they admit it or not.
what an incredible list, Pete! i love and cherish almost all these songs. and - i am someone who shirks the "guilty pleasure" monicker. i feel zero guilt about loving great pop tunes. hahahaha
How Much I feel, Baby Come Back, and Miracles are the Holy Trinity of 1970's pop love songs. I can never get enough of those three songs.
What a fantastic bunch of songs!!! I have to say that I was shocked that 75 % or better are still songs that always bring me right back to great times in my life... Thank you for one of the best lists ever... Little Willie, such a guilty pleasure!!
"Easy Lover" by Philip Bailey
It has also Phil Collins on vocals and drums.
@@IvanHernandez-wm4jj and his goofy dancing in the vid.
Man that has some tasty drumming on it.
@@antoniokofoed7139 and a brilliant guitar solo.
I'm a prog-rock ,art-rock and vintage metal guy and i LOVE ALL THESE SONGS! (Our tastes seem almost eerily identical.)
Bang on.
Day after day by Badfinger and Miracles are my two guilty pleasures from the 70’s
Pretty much every tune you named I love to....great minds think alike 😄
Sister Golden Hair by America is one of my guilty pleasure songs.
Steal away - Robbie Dupree
Magic - Pilot
Into the night - Benny Mardones
Right down the line - Gerry Rafferty
Kiss on my list - Hall and Oates
How can I be sure - The Rascals
Gustavo Bravo Rosales 3 out of 6 isn't bad.
Redbone was on the Midnight Special. My guilty pleasures,The Carpenters and Gordon Lightfoot
Redbone and Lightfoot - yep. That OTHER band - hell no!
They are not songs
Gordon Lightfoot isn’t a guilty pleasure, he’s the real deal. And how could anybody serious music fan not adore Karen Carpenter’s voice.
Gordon Lightfoot is not a guilty pleasure. He's one of the best songwriters of all time.
I agree that Gordon Lightfoot is one of the best songwriters of all time and that Karen Carpenter had the most gorgeous voice but they are both guilty pleasures if you are a metal head.
I have a soft spot for 1 hit wonders of the 80's. Great memories also Albert Hammond "It never rains in Southern California"
I'm 46, a thrash metal/Death Metal freak...and I love the whole Europe Final Countdown album, all of it.
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Turning Japanese - The Vapors
Don't You Want Me - Human League
Don't Tell Me You Love Me - Night Ranger
Dancing Queen - ABBA
Downtown - Petula Clark
To Sir With Love - Lulu
no guilt in "don't tell me you love me" that's a bad ass jam!!!!
Dancing Queen Rocks
🤘😜🤘
Great list! Although I'm not into ABBA, love the rest.
love night Ranger lot of underrated great stuff..
I still think the vapors are great in a playlist of just generalized 80 stuff or NuWave..
what's interesting was after the vapors broke up believe Singer went on to be a lawyer fighting for singers and songwriters rights
Night Ranger's legit rock, wtf...
Never heard a Sweet song I didn’t like! Damn these songs are guilty pleasures? 85% on my play list.
I listened most of those songs walking my dog
Way way underrated. ..
Br Greg Love is like Oxygen 👍
Not even Ballroom Blitz???
My favorite song was little Willy back in like 72-73. I was 6-7 and loved Sweet ever since!
Couldn't Get it Right and So Into You, two great songs from around 1976-1977.
Raspberries was go all the way. It was good too!
That brings up Bread. Mother Freedom
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue.........the best !!!
This was a lot of fun. Most of these are quality pop songs and actually very good. I have a huge soft spot for 70s pop songs because they remind me of the carefree days of childhood.
Here are a few of my guilty pleasures:
"Saturday Night" - The Bay City Rollers
"Snoopy vs The Red Baron" - The Royal Guardsmen
"Stayin' Alive" - The Bee Gees
"I'm a Believer"/"Daydream Believer" - The Monkees
"Whip It" - Devo
Jason Roussel Devo rules
Devo was GREAT
Sink the Bismark by Johnny Horton.
When it was in the charts, Snoopy vs the Red Baron was absolutely my favourite song. I knew all the words, me and my younger brother used to sing it at the tops of our voices when we were singing ourselves to sleep. I was 10...
I still have my Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits on vinyl and cd
this was great...and i could have watched an hour or more...even though i'm kinda like you (59...born in queens and grew up on hard rock, then metal), i am so glad you included 10cc 'i'm not in love', one of my all time favorite songs....and there ain't nuthin' wrong with cher, tom jones, or 'my sharona'...i was waiting to hear perhaps ace 'how long' or sailcat 'motorcycle mama' thrown into your list...maybe they'll be in part two.... peace my friend...
My Sharona is a really kick-ass song. Love it!
I got you all beat! Culture Club song Time A Clock Of The Heart!
Spirit In The Sky, Stuck In The Middle With You, Dancin' In The Moonlight, Hooked on a Feeling, In the Summertime, Are We Not Men We are DEVO, and a bunch of Depeche Mode I like...
Great list! I do have to wonder which version of Hooked On A Feeling you meant; assume it's Blue Swede's. I've always preferred BJ Thomas' original.
1- Chanson d"'amour (Manhattan transfer) 2-Their coming to take me away 3- back when my hair was short 4- Rod Stewart & Amy Bell I dont want to talk about it 5- Shannon (Henry Gross)
This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert
Ron Merrill Burt Bacharach
..this to me is a great love song, sung in a believable feeling way, great arrangement, sound etc...
"Spanish Flea" and "Tijuana Taxi" by Herb Alpert.
"Don't Give Up On Us"
"Undercover Angel"
"We've Only Just Begun"
she said all righttttt wooowowoooweeee bask in the afterglow of a midnight fantasy
Undercover Angel is in my top 5.
90% of your list included some of the great pop songs I grew up with and adored as well Pete. Fantastic list!!!! I am guessing you would love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies :) I do!
Thoroughly enjoyable! Here’s a few of mine from 50 odd years of listening to music:
Yesterday Man, Chris Andrews
123, Len Barry
Green Green Grass of Home, Tom Jones
Spirit in the Sky, Norman Greenbaum
Sugar Sugar, Archies
Release Me, Engelbert Humperdinck
Walk Like an Egyptian, Bangles
Montego Bay, Bobby Bloom
Really Free, John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett
Ah, the memories of a lifetime listening to dubious music!
I almost forgot. How about Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks. Now that one is a guilty pleasure.
Even better, "Where evil grows".
Dave Walsh
But “Where Evil Grows” isn’t a guilty pleasure, it’s just awesome. “Seasons in the Sun”, now that’s a guilty pleasure.
@@bradleyconrad678 True
You should feel Very guilty Scott!
...no, that's just guilty, lol...
Partridge family had a few good tunes. Madonna's Borderline. Cyndi Lauper Time After Time.
The Partidge Family had some really good music. Believe it or not, I still have my old PF LPs.
Another song by Cindy lauper I thought was great was money changes everything
This was great! It takes balls to say you like some of these! Everybody who loves music has these. Really fun post!
This channel is awesome, addictive, orgasmic... Can't get enough of it, God bless U Dave !! 🏆
NOTE: Upload more, more, as many videos as U can...
Fooled around and fell in love is one my favs, as is Brandy, Mandy, and Waterloo by Abba
Some of mine:
*ABBA - Any song but love Eagle*
*Rick Dees - Disco Duck*
*Johnnie Taylor - Disco Lady*
*The Tramps - Disco Inferno* (Saturday Night Fever soundtrack version - 10 minute version)
*Joe Tex - Ain't Going to Bump with a no Big Fat Woman*

*Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire* (from Nilsson Schmilsson) & *You're Breaking My Heart* (from Son of Schmilsson)
*The Gap Band - Early in the Morning / You Dropped a Bomb on Me*
Also like these *full albums* from *Mac Davis* (Will Write Songs for Food - 1994), *Lobo* (Calumet - 1973) & *Tom Jones* (Darlin' - 1981). Very good albums.
Waterloo!
Love Nilsson- and his other song- the F you song!
Another great program.lots of fun listening.can not wait for your next jazz rock fusion program.my favorite topic go stanley jeff beck and my favorite band mahavishnu orchestra.
Cliff Richard - Carrie/ Devil Woman/ Green Light/ We Don’t Talk Anymore
Bee Gees - Spirits Having Flown
The Babys - Isn’t It Time
Abba - Chiquitita/ My Love My Life
The Carpenters- Please Mr Postman
Ray Stevens- Misty
Kiki Dee- Star
Jessie"s Girl Rick Springfield. Yes it was bubblegum but it was bubble gum that rocked.
Over played in my world
Dude, R.S. is an 80's Icon I play his hits from time to time full volume!
"Devil Woman" by Cliff Richard is one of my favourite guilty pleasure songs, too. Also Poker Face by Lady Gaga. Any song by ABBA.
ABBA! Excellent musicianship, and they could write really tight songs. Nothing to ashamed of there my friend.
The Hollies had a lot of great pop songs. Long Cool Woman gets me going everytime I hear it.
McCartney and Wings, 'Silly Love Songs'. Cheesy as Hell but had me hooked. Go fihure.
Listen To What The Man Said --- goofy, but I was in L.A. when it was overplayed on the radio and associate it with good times in L.A.
Ed Bertoli Love Wings Medicine Jar. 😊
Well it's McCartney after all
Midnight at the Oasis by Maria Muldaur...I just love that early 70's sound. Also Lonesome Loser by The Little River Band. The song came out at a time when the lyrics meant something to me. I don't know the lead singer's name but the guy has some serious singing chops.
Good fun. Mandy was originally called Brandy by Scott English. When Barry Manilow covered it, there were concerns that people would think it was the Looking Glass song, so they changed it to Mandy!
BRILLIANT! !!!!!!PERFECT SHOW,,,,I LOVE EVERY SONG YOU MENTION, MANDY,,, WAY TO GO PETE... SAME AGE,,,,SAME TYPE MEMORY. ....SO FUN
Exile "Kiss You All Over"...
exile great band before they went country in the 80s
Good pick
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music. (sounds like he's singing fuckin' not funky)
Always loved that song but the video sucked
Great list. My guilty pleasure is any 1 hit wonder from the 70’s
Great work again Pete. Love what you do. Love from Glasgow 🏴 Scotland.
I really love almost every single song on your list!
I enjoyed watching your face when you described "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship! That is one of the most beautiful, deep, heart-wrenching love songs ever written. I truly believe it's one of the best lyrics EVER. Brings me to tears every time. Who would not want to be loved like that, and to that degree???
Tom Jones has been one of my faves from day one! Good Lord, he does it for me! "She's A Lady" is also a great lyric!
I don't have the energy to respond to each one you mentioned, but I really enjoyed this "rant"!
SO much fun!
Oh, and I DO watch your vids in their entirety! I'm just that way!
Guilty pleasure song: "How Do You Do" by Mouth and McNeal.
a great tune!!!
fuck yeah
Ugh 😩
love Mouth and McNeal! how about Hello A?
@@roberthardin2133 Hadn't heard that one, before. Don't like it as well as HDYD.
From ABBA to the Zombies and everything in between, I never feel guilty about taking pleasure in music. I'm no longer a "closet" fan of anything. I crank up my Jimmy Buffett and Meat Loaf as loud and proud as anything in my collection. And I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.
Havin guilty pleasures = Being a slave of the circlejerk. Just like what you like!!
Same here, I'm all over the place, everything from Scott Joplin to French Electronic music. Sinatra, Carpenters, Genesis, Madness, France Gall, and on and on. I know what I like and I like what I know.
Time of the Season is a classic
So cool you mentioned Andy Gibb as I have begun to appreciate how good the musicianship was behind his music and he did have a great voice.
UB-40´s rendition to Neil Diamond´s "Red Red Wine". I know it´s overplayed to death, but I still like it very much. I don´t play UB-40 very often, but when I do, it´s fun to listen to.
You speak straight into my heart with those guilty pleasures mate.
From my encounters with girls, I should like to add
Sweet - Love Is Like Oxygen
Slade - Cuz I luv u (Cause I love you)
Outside my failed pursuits of the other gender, comes the driving song....
Sniff n The Tears - Drivers Seat. One hit wonder stayed with me.
Frank Zappa - Bobby Brown. Even though Im not American I used to dress sharp and be an arrogant son of a....Still do at my age
I saw you added Sweet on your list. I guess you love "Fox On The Run", too.
Here's a few of my GPS!!
'Think I'm in trouble' Lindsey Buckingham
'Reminiscing' Little River Band
'Hey Nineteen' 'Deacon Blues' Steely Dan
'Logical Song' 'Its raining again' Supertramp
'I just wanna stop' 'living inside myself' Gino Vanelli
'Heart of the night' Poco
'Into the night' Benny Mardones
Mine seem to linger around the late 70s/ early 80s... like anything else musical, it seems to be a generational thing.
Alen-there are no guilty pleasure songs by the awesomely talented and wholly respected "musicians band" that is Steely Dan! The superb playing on nearly every tune puts Donald and Walter's genius in a very bright light! Steely Dan=crank it! ALL OF IT!
Gino Vanelli. I thought I was the only one who still listened to him, LOL.
With the exception of "Reminiscing" I agree with every single song on there, especially the two Gino Vannelli tracks. How about "Black Cars" by him, too? (From 1984, I believe)
Deacon Blues, Logical Song & Into The Night it's a wonderfull songs mate!!
actually it could be guilty pleasures for Alen because maybe he listens now to nothing but metal and people are surprised on his list and real life it's like wow you like Steely Dan??
so many people that do not make it known. that's the idea that guilty pleasure it's what you're known to listen to if you're known as a music lover of all kinds and you can come over at probably look at your music collection and see from the 40s big bands all the way through today there's not much of a guilty pleasure for you..
but if you've always been known as the metalhead the headbanger listening to nothing but thrash and then all the sudden somebody comes over and it's like tell me that's not the Carpenters playing.. then you're guilty pleasure has been exposed
I had Cliff Richard - Dreaming on '45
Pete,Wiz here...I always love watching your Y.T. Channel.We are about the same age,I'm 57 and agree with most of your choices...Like myself,We both realize how OUR LOVE of music TRANSPORTS US THRU TIME...You mentioned your Father in relation to a couple of songs...THAT'S THE MAGIC OF RECORDED MUSIC!
A couple Groups you mentioned,I had alternate song choices...A.R.S-Imaginary Lover instead(if you play vinyl LP at 45rpm,it sounds like Stevie Nicks: )I've been into music since 7.I to can't sing but have a large musical memory because of working at an EMPIRE RECORD-TYPE store in '77-'79 and again was hired back because they moved to Larger building and needed my VAST KNOWLEDGE of useless information to be a buyer for VHS,BETA & Laserdiscs on both film and music back to 1930!Not everything...but way to much DATA MEMORY used in my BRAIN!At 8,Dizzy by Tommy Roe Crimson & Clover/B-side was Mony,Mony-T.James/Shondells.Im now a retired,disabled Audio/Visual and Acoustics Engineer.I love your shelves for your CDS & DVDS...All my shelving is full and overflowing...both dvd and CDS in boxes...Oh,I still have aproximately 2,500 MINT L.P.'s...A lot of Promos courtesy of The Record labels...Columbia/Epic,W.E.A.& R.C.A.
But back to "Guilty Pleasures"....1)Sweet-Love Is Like Oxigen 2)U.K.-Dead Of Night 3)A.R.S-Imaginary Lover 4)Faces-Glad and Sorry from Ooh-La-La 5)McCartney from Band On The Run-1985 6)Tommy Bolin-Dreamer 7)E.L.O.-Telephone Line 8)Gilbert O'Sullivan-Alone Again,Naturally 9)Outfield-For Your Love and finally 10)B.Streisand- "Prisoner"from soundtrack, "The Eyes Of Laura Mars" All of that I just thought of while watching your Favorite LIVE ALBUM RANT Vol.1...I appreciate you sharing your musical knowledge with a fellow ALL MUSIC FANATIC (excludes most everything RAP & New Country(modern day rockn'roll with same music structure but with Twang! from 1995 forward)Have you heard BLACKBIRD by Alter Bridge which Jimi Page said was the best Guitar Solo He ever heard!We'll talk again,my Y.T. Music Buddy. Peace,Doug
Blackbird rules Wiz! Love AlterBridge!
Did you already know about Alter Bridge?I think a majority of the band members were with Creed. the lead singer went his own way and they found this other guy that's got a hell of a voice and my son-in-law in Wyoming turned me on to them back in September of 2016 and played me Blackbird,the song. I just listen to it once and then sense have played it several times... thanks to Spotify... Spotify definitely is a great tool for finding albums that I don't have. You have HEAVY METAL eclectic taste!In what you collect man.I can't believe how heavy metal you are!I mean UFO and Sabbath is about as heavy metal as I ever got!none of the hair bands of the 80s... no thank you... well Whitesnake with the video with what was her name Tani Kattan on the hood of the car that ballad Is This Love now that's about as far as I went in the '80's
Now KISS... you and I are big time KISS... I was listening to KISS in 1974 on 8-track! Kiss Alive of course. it might have been 75 we would Cruise out in his Mopar Super Bee and cruise the darker side of town because that was the school we were going to this was in '75 when they had forced integration and I went to an 80% black school for 2 years played on their football team too! I've always been a pretty big guy I can bench press 800 lbs with my legs unfortunately all the electronic work I've done over the years has caught up with me and I am not the "man I used to be"like the Boston song : ) my friend Randy and I would go buy a quart of Miller High Life and cruise around the neighborhood and listening to KISS!my favorite tune was of course black diamond and cold gin...Oh Strutter also.
In finishing about blackbird album and title song of the same title blackbird C.D.is is the one that has the hellacious guitar solo towards the end which I read Jimmy Page saw them live in performance and claimed it was the greatest guitar solo of all time! now that's Jimmy Page saying that! I don't know if you live in the United States or Canada?I'm here in Oklahoma City 405-306-0092 for direct contact. I'd love to have a conversation on a phone and not be typing all this shit or using voice talk on my GS5 concert camera! LOL Talk again soon....Wiz,Doug hey Pete, did you look at my TH-cam channel with the three Tom Petty videos? Wiz Reality 5 is what I titled my channel...We will talk again soon. Peace
Yes, I've been listening to them for a while
A lot of these were on the "K-Tel" compilation records I used to have: Chevy Van by Sammy Johns, Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando, Sky High by Jigsaw, Convoy by CW McCall, Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka, Closer by Seals & Crofts, This Masquerade by George Benson, Keep on Truckin' by Eddie Kendricks, You Made Me Believe in Magic by Bay City Rollers, Freakers Ball (very un-PC album track by Dr Hook)
Here in Minneapolis there is a K-Tel Road still today. Big distribution center was here.
Gotta add some Christopher cross:
Sailing
Ride like the Wind
Have to throw Dream Weaver in there as well separately, seemed like these songs were always on radio when I was a kid in the 70's
Ride like the Wind is great.
Ride Like a Wind and Sailing are pretty good songs by Christopher Cross. Love them both!
Ride like the wind, yes! 👍
He’s a really good guitarist also.
"Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" is a great pop song! BTW, Looking Glass, which formed at Rutgers in NJ, eventually morphed into hard rock band Starz.
I had no idea that Vickie Laurence sang that tune! I love her even more now, cause that song is really cool. Such a funny lady, and so talented.
Those ABBA dudes were very talented song writers. Great tunes
I like good music. And I dont feel guilty about liking it.
Pete Pardoooo! Baring his soul! REO Speedwagooooon! Keep on Loving You AND Take It On the Run!!!!!!!!
Pete should sample Keep The Fire Burnin´ from time to time.
@@IvanHernandez-wm4jj That right there is my fave album, bro! That is an egregiously under-appreciated album. Do rockers like I Will Follow and Good Trouble not make your blood boil??! And Gary's swan song (for me) Stillness Of The Night. Man it kills me that not more people worship at REO's altar. GARYYYYY!!!
Beach Baby - First Class
SOS - ABBA
Magic - Pilot
Boogie Fever - Sylvers
The Rain ,The Park and Other Things - Cowsills
Also go along with a lot of the songs Pete mentioned. We have many..
"Don't Give Up on Us" - David Soul. Also some Helen Reddy. Basically agree with you on the hair metal bands although some of the lead guitarists in those bands were killer.
Ronettes Be my Baby , those drums and that orchestra.
Perfection!! ❤️
your best show!!!! SO FUN
Douglas Dorman Likewise....I love The Carpenters.
Really like your list Pete.
“Laughter in the rain” Neal Sedaka

Hehe.... great to hear your talk about your guilty pleasures. I really liked it. Thx man! 😀
AWB's "Pick Up The Pieces" Tight song with the horns blazing!!!
Naahh, take no guilt in that = a classic funk/fusion deal

I agree with most of those and I'm a hard rock/classic rock/metal guy.!
A few of mine,if you don't mind...
"Please Don't Go" -KC And The Sunshine Band,
"Which Way You Going Billy" -The Poppy Family,
"Seasons In The Sun" -Terry Jacks,
"Into The Night" -Benny Mardonnes,
"Gotta Get A Message To You" -Bee Gees
"At This Moment" -Billy Vera,
"The Way I Feel Tonight" -Bay City Rollers
"I Love You" -Climax Blues Band
"It Never Rains In Southern California" -Albert Hammond
ya I'm a sucker for those ballads.
(PS that first Knack album is a classic,great power pop) and dude you have to get into Cinderella.
Great review, Pete, lol. Brings back memories. Here's a few of my own: 1. "Bang A Gong" (T.Rex), 2. "Lay Lady Lay" (Dylan), 3. "In My Room" (Beach Boys), 4. "The Air That I Breathe" (Hollies), 5. "Growin' Up (Springsteen), 6. "Jungle Boogie" (Kool & The Gang), 7. "Reflections Of My Life" (Marmalade), 8. "Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye" (Steam), 9. "May It Be" (Enya), 10. "ABC" (Jackson 5)
My guilty pleasure is ABBA's Fernando, very catchy. I will add that Silly Love Songs actually had a message. It was Paul Mccartney's response to John Lennon saying Paul wrote silly love songs and sentimental slush.
I thought it was his response to legendary rock critic Lester Bangs? Doesn't really matter though...
