Guilty Pleasure recording?

I will date myself by this, and hate to admit to it, but one of the reasons that I love getting into vinyl now, is that there is some music that is not available digitally. I wish I could say I was talking about some legendary, sublime classic recording of a great orchestral performace, but instead in this instance I am talking about bad 80's rock.

Right now I am listening to my guilty pleasure record: The Producers "You Make the Heat". No one ever likes it as much as I do when I play it for them. Some have heard "She Shiela", but usually they have not heard the album before, and don't care to again. But I love it.

Anyone have bad, guilty pleasure records, that are not available digitally, probably because there is no demand?

Macdadtexas-

Your response has got me thinking that one man's guilty is another man's pleasure :-) It's funny how some guilty pleasure songs are really good, and others like "Funkytown" aren't.

Slothman-
My 82 year old mother finally got me to cart away a bunch of records I had been storing in a box somewhere in her crowded basement. Turns out I have that record and bought it when it was first released.

While they didn't write a lot of their own tunes (I think) they had an ear for good songs written by other people. Mama told Me Not To Come is a Randy Newman song and I think Joy To The World was written by Hoyt Axton.
