Guilty pleasures: The Charlie Daniels Band – Saddle Tramp (1976)

While working as a session player in the 1960s with legendary songwriters such as Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, an up-and-coming Charlie Daniels witnessed first-hand greatness at both the pen and the microphone.

Guilty pleasures: Barry Manilow – 2:00 A.M. Paradise Cafe (1984)

A friend of mine, who I just recently turned on to the pleasures of the LP (he’s hooked for sure now), picked up a copy of 2:00 A.M. Paradise Cafe at the Goodwill store. He might have paid a buck for it.

Guilty pleasures: Copping to Culture Club, Madonna — and, OK, much worse

by Mark Saleski I have a confession to make. The other morning, while munching on a bowl of hemp granola and slurping my first cuppa, I watched a Justin Timberlake video … and I really liked the song

Guilty pleasures: Dan Friel – Sunburn (2004)

by Tom Johnson I have a bass. It’s sitting right over there in the corner and it’s gotten tucked further and further away from me as time has gone on. Other things move in front of it, or find themselves stored on top of the amp, and eventually it’s just another thing taking up space in a room

Guilty pleasures: White Lion, “Radar Love” (1989)

by Fred Phillips I don’t like White Lion. Not even a little bit. During my teen years I got so sick of “When the Children Cry” that I felt like puking every time I heard it.

Guilty pleasures: Seal – Best: 1991-2004 (2004)

by Mark Saleski MTV Unplugged. It was an interesting show (heck, it was an interesting network, back when the ‘M’ actually stood for “music”). Can an artist/band deal with going ‘naked,’ the protective cover of studio sheen stripped away?

Guilty pleasures: Josh Groban – Closer (2003)

by Mark Saleski I pride myself on knowing a fair amount about music. Of course, what this really means is that I’ve spent way too many hours sitting around listening to records — while no doubt thumbing through some rock publication … Rolling Stone, Creem, etc.) What you might not know is that I’m also quite the opera buff.

Guilty pleasures: Dwight Yoakam – Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. (1986)

Dwight Yoakam, even if you typically don’t like this kind of music, is country-mile cool. Here’s why

Guilty pleasures: Skinny Puppy – The Greater Wrong Of The Right (2004)

by Tom Johnson It’s not so difficult to imagine Skinny Puppy continuing to exist through the mid-90s – most of the solo output of the members over that period actually sounded more like Skinny Puppy than the band’s own “final” album

Guilty pleasures: Poison – Open Up and Say … Aah! (1988)

by Fred Phillips In the circle of music fans that I normally find myself in, mentioning Poison is usually not a good idea. Bands with poof hair and makeup — unless, of course, it’s corpse paint — will usually get you laughed out of the conversation.
