Embarressing LPs

Can't Stop the Music, the soundtrack to the Village People film of the same name.:o

Mind you, it was so bad, as is the film, that today it has a certain naff kudos.:D
 
I actually have lots of embarassing albums. ((That's no surprise I hear you say).

Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Journey - Escape

A couple of Wreclkless Eric albums and Lew Lewis.

But rather than call them embarassing I prefer to call them guilty pleasures, so come on Gayle 'fess up :D

Oh yeah forgot, the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Lew Lewis is embarrassing??!! Stan, how could you? Lew Lewis is a most righteously blueswailing harmonica man, who stayed true to his music, when all around him were going punk. I play his two CDs regularly and seriously considered going all the way down to Southend to see him when he staged a comeback gig a couple of years ago. Embarrassing??...never!!

It's why I call them guilty pleasures Wynonie.

At least I don't or didn't have a Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer album like a lot of my peer group :D
 
I have Boston, Chicago, Trooper, Foreigner and all that good stuff, plus CCR, BTO, and Nestor Pistor. Oh, and Humphrey and the Dumptrucks, and Doug and the Slugs.
 
Shoot ... I shouldn't have put CCR in there; they are one of the great rock bands of all time.
 
And I'm having second thoughts about Nestor Pistor too ... his song "Winestoned Plowboy" must put him up there with the all time rock 'n roll greats.:rolleyes:

I think it's time to quit, I'm really "willowing" on here:D:D:D

Still don't understand, Stan...if somebody's good, why should they be a "guilty" pleasure...and why should they be in the embarrassing LPs thread in the first place? :confused:

Because it's something I bought that was totally out of kilter with everything else I had at the time (Slaughter and The Dogs, Damned etc) and I thought it reminded of Dr Feelgood at the time. (I also preferred his stuff in Eddie and The Hot Rods).

I see it as a guilty pleasure as nobody else liked Blues/Pub Rock at the time and so therefore kept such albums under wraps.

Maybe I don't have any embarassing LPs then (Like I said earlier no Yes and no prog rock (I don't have the Slaughter and the Dogs album any more :D).
