Now there was a band I LOATHED with a passion!
Ah, Boney M - the Milli Vanilli of the 70's!

I know I'm going to get beaten up over this but what the hell!
I not ashamed: "Little Wing" The Corrs. Andrea Corr------oh just such a gorgeous voice and the gorgeous looks too.
Lots of people say they murdered Hendrix's song but I think they made it better.
I especially like the acoustic guitar treatment it has plus the great slide and picked solo the guy in the backing band does on that shiny National guitar.

Ok.. I will need a zillion of 'i'm ashamed' icons because this is difficult:
One of my all time favorites is: 'I Love the Night Life' by Alicia Briges, 'Born to Be Alive' by Patrick Hernandez, and then......'YMCA' yes, exactly, that one of The Village People.
Last but not least....I liked the Spice Girls...really!!..I preferred their fresh songs to this strangling Shakira ,Beyonce or Aguilera that causes me infection to the ears.
Ok...end of the therapy..how much is the fee, dear Psychiatrist?
I admit liking 'Hips don't lie' by Shakira. We can visit the psychologist together. :shock:
I love ABBA. Listen to Dancing Queen everytime the mp3 players starts up...
This reminds me that some time ago I read in a rock'n'roll magazine : (Q maybe?) a poll between selected artists on which they were asked about their favorite ABBA song...I remember Tina Turner was there, and my surprise was to find my idol Peter Hammill (from Van Der Graaf Generator) and he chose 'Knowing Me , Knowing You' as his favorite ABBA song....sadly I don're remember the other songs or artists...I will search in the internet.
By the way ABBA is a classic !

I had forgotten to Patrick Hernandez! :lol:
I think this song was the theme of that year in the "Vuelta" (cycling).
And YMCA's video is a must to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-CQbArqwhs

That sounds great! Hope you can find the link.
I never got ABBA, but I know it's my loss. I don't think I've ever talked to a 'real' musician who didn't have something nice to say about them. There's obviously a lot of solid craft in their songs that other players can recognise.

If a psychiatrist/psychologist took a look through my record collection, it'd be a case of "Scrap my diary for the next 12 months, Miss Jones, I've got a big job on here......
Probably not too many places where you'd find "Roll Along Wagon Train" (Robert Horton) "Venus in Blue Jeans" (Mark Wynter) Have A Drink On Me (Lonnie Donegan) "Always Something There To Remind Me" (Sandie Shaw) White Cliffs Of Dover (The Blue Jays) and Sincerely (The Moonglows) snuggling up to the likes of Motorhead, Blue Oyster Cult, Status Quo, Led Zep and Deep Purple.....
:D :D :D

(For the young people: The video shows a 45 RPM record. Usually we bought the songs in that media. We can say it is the first version of iTunes Music Store.)
And also her hit "Puppet on a string". I remember a version of this song in Spanish; I'm not sure but I think it was recorded by herself. The video is from Eurovision 1967 (include the votes, very nice, 40 years ago...).

I think I'm going to win on the embarrassment stakes with this revelation I actually went out and paid money for this song

That McCartney song ain't sounding too bad now, is it.
;)
"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
Slej,
Stop the insanity..you and Paul are killin me!
Ok since I busted you on the MCartney song I'll give up a couple more of my closet indulgances although I haven't heard them in years...two MJ songs..Beat It and Billie Jean..there I said it.
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Rodders : Although nothing compared to Milli Vanili and Boney M, yet you have been awarded distinction on the embarrasment stage.
