I was sure this thread already existed, but can't find it.


Anyway, fess up to your guilty pleasures, be it songs, films, or whatever.


About a week ago, I heard THIS on the radio or somewhere, and it has been an ear worm. But I have also realised just what a lovely song I think it is!


I like the video too.


NOTE: The author of this post is NOT a Will Young fan, and this song is an exception!


I'm sure I'll be back with loads more, but I'm off to listen to some rock music and drink beer!

infact how about We Can't Dance by Genesis the whole album . in all it's glory especially Fading Lights , their glorious 8 minute swansong and a nod back to their prog glory days . :)


THANK YOU! You have just reminded me of a great "TLS" phase when I went out with a Kenyan Woman,and thus met her Sister,best friend,cousins,friends,friends of cousins etc...

She settled (and introduced me to) Earls Court and it was a verypleasant period and this Album was her favourite and soon became a great love of mine,particularly "Fading Lights"(turn the lights OUT to listen) .

The whole Album was excellent.

Shame she left me for a married German Banker and moved to Zurich in around Late 1990's:-$ but it was good while it lasted!:)-D


"No Son of Mine" ? 6:40 EXCELLENT

"Jesus He Knows Me" ? 4:16 EXCELLENT

"Driving the Last Spike" ? 10:08 Good

"I Can't Dance" ? 4:01 Good

"Never a Time" ? 3:50 Very Good

"Dreaming While You Sleep" ? 7:16 Good

"Tell Me Why" ? 4:58 EXCELLENT

"Living Forever" ? 5:41 Very Good

"Hold on My Heart" ? 4:38 EXCELLENT

"Way of the World" ? 5:37 EXCELLENT

"Since I Lost You" ? 4:09 Very Good

"Fading Lights FIRST CLASS!!


If you are ever in a great mood then play "Way Of The World" a few times and sing-a-long at the top of your voice,like I just have!...Thanks for reminding me about this great Album!

p.s As I'm in such a great mood its got to be "Good Old Dreams" by The Carpenters next>:D<

To me Genesis are just a bunch of poncey, ex public schoolboys (Charterhouse I think) and some failed ex child actor on the drums. I thought the gorilla was better looking on that crap ad. So not a proper guilty pleasure, more an acceptance of the domination of the ruling classes over us proles. The fact they are all far, far wealthier than I will ever be, better looking and musically more talented has no influence on my jealousy, er objective opinion I mean. Meanwhile the Carpentas can only be a guilty pleasure.

First saw Genesis in 1972 when they were supposed to be 2nd on the Bill to "Bell 'n Arc" but as they disbanded a few days earlier they made their "Top-Of-The-Bill" Debut at the 3,000 All-Standing Croydon Greyhound!

What A fabulous Venue that was and only 70 pence to see Roxy Music/Focus/Quo/MC Five/Stray/Argent/Rooster/Broughton/Uriah Heep/Colisseum/Golden Earring etc etc(tu)

I have so many guilty pleasures... but this was played at future sister-in-law's wedding at the weekend and I found sadly enough I could still sing along to it (msg to Keef - it might be on the ipod but not expecting a live performance of it come March..... although bet you guys could do it really well!!)


ches

I generally consider my taste to be impeccable and therefore feel no pangs of guilt about anything I like, that includes *shock horror*, drinking in The Castle, from time to time.


May I suggest that you all leave your hang-ups at the door and continue with listing your very many pleasures.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
