Guilty pleasure music?

How about this for a thread -- name some of your guilty pleasures musically. What albums/CDs/tapes do you dig out of their hiding places and put on when nobody's looking? What do you like that you'd hate to admit to the Keepers of the Cool? I'll start with ... Stand Up by David Lee Roth. Okay, the guy's a jerk and has about a 4-note range. But this song, along with "Just Like Living in Paradise," really kicks. Steve Vai casually tosses off guitar leads that smoke, the drumming is punchy and the bass packs a nice whomp. Just the thing to blare through a pair of headphones as you get your workout in high gear. So, who's next? Anybody wanna fess up to liking Alice Cooper? Bad Company? Early Chicago?

Hell, if you listen to it, it's good to you! Don't ever feel guilty over things you listen to! I've been known to listen to old, live Black Flag and CJ recordings, yeh, they sonically/musically SUCK, but I still remember seeing these bands in high school and I hope to never feel bad about listening to them! Granted I'd never bother to buy them on CD, but you might find something horrible like this in a tape player in my house! Screw the guilt! Listen to anything you like!

Michael, I disagree, I find it mazingly interesting that people who are well informed and knowledgeable in the field of High end audio listen to all kinds of music! Sure I'd never bring old New York Dolls to a store to test speakers or CD players, but I WILL STILL LISTEN TO THEM!!!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who is hanging on the the music they grew up with! And Hendrix?? How could you EVER consider Hendrix music to be ashamed of? Hell, I even bought Rainbow Bridge on DVD! I'm even open about listening to Prince! It just doesn't matter, if you like it, it's good to you, that should be all that matters! By the way, I'm really surprised the Minutemen were listed! d boon Rules! In fact, Double Nickels on the Dime was in my Proceed PCD2 when I saw that!
