haha the land of make believe was the first record ever bought for me, at my request of course 

The Jam, Beat Surrender, was the first record i ever bought for myself. I was very wee at the time but my mates big brother who i fancied played it when baby sitting for us

I don't really get this toppic. As I don't get the fact people could have something like a "guilty feeling" by loving a more commercial song    I mean if a song moves you in the good way, then it's a good song. No matter how rare, dark or super commercial it is. 
Think people should lesser care what others may think or say about there musical taste, because that's really not what music is about..

But ok, I guess that's just another result of living in our society, with that "box mentality" and a need to be different then the herd..

Anyway, i think there are plenty of great songs/tracks in this toppic. Some nice discoveries also. 

it reminds me that we are one people

btw i have an 8min "razormaid" version, but is this for real?? there's no such listing for it on discogs..

I have a feeling that the song is crappy and trashy, but I have a feeling of love towards those things that come out of her bathing suit

Mm, I think this could be indeed a good definition of a "musical Guilty pleasure", if that exists. Guess it all depends on how important this word is or could be for every individual.. 

I think that the "commercial" fact isn't really so "indirect" here. Especially on a forum where rare & pretty unknown music is the main theme... If we are really honnest, there is just only one toppic on this board where songs of Roxette, Chesney Hawkes, Meat Loaf, Olivia Newton john, Lady gaga, Mark Morisson, etc.. will appear. Those songs are technically and musically not that crappy or trash. I personnally think that people here "may" have the feeling that those songs are a "guilty pleasaure" because they are made for the big public, they are commercial, you here them everyday on the radio, they have not that magic, dark, rare or unknown thing.. On a board like this, it may be not that "cool" to like or collect that commercial stuff That's why I think it's more likely seen as a "guilty pleasure".

People aren't really here to discuss Meat Loaf and Roxette as a main thing, but some still love that songs, and so I don't think that they should have a "guilty feeling" about it. It sounds in a way like "a shame" to love those songs..

Don't get me wrong, I also lauched or had fun with some songs here, or dicovered other songs that I think are quite nice. It is just "weird" for me that so many people have "guilty musical pleasures".  I just don't really get that personally..
