    I grew up on the diet of Heep, Purple, Yes, ELP - all the Prog/Rock/Metal bands of the 1970's and had very little time for anything else.
    I got married in 1981 and in 1985 the whole thing fell apart. I spent a lot of time trying to make sense of it. Then I heard one song that suddenly gave me the kick up the backside I needed. That song was so far out of my comfort zone but it spoke to me. I no longer pretended that we would get back together, I moved to a new town on a job transfer, made a whole bunch of new friends and since then I have never let music genre limit me.
    That song was/is "Carpenters - Hurting Each Other".
    It changed my life and also opened a world of music I had denied before. A lot of those you guys mention - Earth Wind And Fire, Kate Bush, ABBA, the brilliant Alison Moyet, Frank Sinatra.
    But to pick one - Roy Orbison, especially the In Dreams album.

    • @AbbeyRoadkill1
      @AbbeyRoadkill1 Před 3 lety +3

      Great post Terry. I guess it's about emotional maturity and it takes most of us a long while to really find our identity. It's a lifetime journey. The Carpenters and Roy Orbison recorded some of the greatest music of all time. It's a revelation when we 'discover' these artists for ourselves. Glad it all worked out for you.

    I like most genres of music, so I don't really have any guilty pleasure albums, although I do have guilty pleasure songs. I do have a couple of albums that I own, that aren't exactly something I tell people about. Here they are:
    Taio Cruz - Rokstarr
    Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
    Nine Inch Nails - Broken EP (I generally hate this band, but I love this EP because it's heavy.)
    Wham! - Make It Big
    Miranda Cosgrove - Sparks Fly
    Kelly Clarkson - Greatest Hits, Chapter 1
    Jennifer Lopez - On the 6
    My taste is all over the place and weird anyway. I'm a metalhead, first and foremost, but I also love Pop, Jazz, Blues, Classical, R&B/Soul, Funk, Folk, New Age, Alternative, Avant Garde, Pop-Rock, I even like early 1900's Ragtime music! So, my collection is bizarre. One minute it's Britney Spears, than not too long after it's Cannibal Corpse! I'm just a music junkie. I'm not super picky.

    As a life long hard rock / metal head I've liked all of Prince's stuff up through purple Rain. (4-5 albums).In high school (early 80s) my black light posters were Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, ACDC. Then non black light posters were Iron Maiden, Van Halen and Prince. I've recently saw a video called "Fallen brother" by Kreator and they paid homage to many heavy musicians who passed up through 2017 and Prince was one. I knew then I wasn't alone.

      Under Wraps is awesome! Sure, it's the furthest removed from the organic Tull we love, but the musicianship and arrangements are tight, and the songs are super-catchy. But, this is coming from someone who loves Kraftwerk, Thomas Dolby, and early-'80s Zappa (including the later Synclavier experiments), so it didn't strike me too funny when I first heard it. Can't say if Ian Anderson was listening to any of these artists, but there are some similarities here and there.
      At different points, I heard that both Martin Barre and Ian Anderson thought highly of the album. Don't know what they think as of current.

    I wouldn't really call them "guilty pleasures" as I hardly ever feel any guilt about liking something, but these are albums I like from genres that I rarely listen to:
    1: Ramones-"Rocket to Russia". I hate punk rock, except for this album. They have a bunch of songs throughout there other albums I like, but this whole album is great top-to-bottom
    2. B-52s-"Wild Planet". Don't like much New Wave, but I'm surprised by how much I love this album, espcially songs like "Private Idaho", "Give Me Back My Man", and "53 Miles West of Venus"
    3. Concrete Blonde-"Bloodletting". Saw "Joey" on VH1 Classic once and thought it was really good. Decided to hear the album and this was first "Goth Rock" album I have liked. "Caroline", "Days and Days", "Bloodletting", and "The Beast" are all also great.
    4. Debut Quarterflash album. Like almost every song on the album. "Harden My Heart" is fantastic and I love Rindy Ross's voice.

      Wild Planet is a great album indeed. Also the first one.

      Rocket To Russia is more pop punk than punk.
      Joey loved early '60s pop, therefore him wanting Phil Spector to produce one of their albums.

    ABBA : The Visitors and Greatest Hits
    Bryan Adams : Into the Fire ( Native Son and Remembrance Day are especially great songs )
    Carole King : Tapestry ( my sister played this all the time and I mocked it constantly . Let's just say it grew on me ... )
    Frank Sinatra : Best of the Best and Main Event ( thanks Dad ! )

    First Aid Kit is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Their original stuff is stellar, and their covers are top notch, like their version of Emmylou's 'Red Dirt Girl'. Also, their live cover of War Pigs is the best version, ever.
    Love Laura Brannigan
