I listen to some modern stuff as well... sometimes... am i guilty, sirs?
Must say that one of my guiltiest pleasures was (ssssh!) dancing to Cupid's Inspiration's "Yesterday has gone". Luckily, nobody saw it.

That's Wonderful Wonderful to hear.
(My parents had this album, and it was often the "Sunday Evening Dinner Music" album of choice during the early-to-mid 70's).

I talked about this version of The Blacksmith earlier in this thread Peter and just happened to stumble across a Planxty version on You Tube. Imagine, Planxty on You Tube...Enjoy. Great clip for those of you who play mandolin and/or bouzouki (or uilleann pipes for that matter)

"Sunday Evening Dinner Music"
So was Lawrence Welk, well maybe late 60's dinner music.

My dear maternal grandparents still believed that Mr. Welk was performing live on TV well into the 80's. We didn't feel they had to know any differently.
"Roy, the play is on", my grandmother would bellow out as the show began.

Herman's Hermits I had the 45 with "No Milk Today" on one side and "There's a Kind of Hush" on the other IIRC...
Herb Alpert and TB was a pleasure to listen to back in the day, I was a trumpet player in Jr High band so he was an influence...
Not really a guilty pleasure, but does anyone remember Mrs Miller, the lady with the creaky voice that used to butcher songs? My parents owned a record by her, and before I had any Beatles albums I would listen to her version of "Hard Day's Night" just to rock out to the backing band. I think "Novelty Artist" might apply to her work... Also, the Monkees, I loved Steppin' Stone...

I have that Mrs. Miller album. It's a collector's item now. Found a mint condition one at Good Will for $1.
You can hear "A Hard Day's Night"
here.

I vaguely remember her, really really bad, hahaha!
I have Herman's Hermits greatest hits, it's a great CD.
I was also a trumpet player and like Herb Alpert and the TB.

That's just wrong.
The middle eight is the best bit, though.

Sorry to raise the dead once again, but I just heard "She" by the Monkees for the first time in decades...and I liked it.
Guilty!
