      Not really embarassed about this, but I wouldn't necessarily advertise it.

      The Carpenters
      Glen Campbell


      Most of my favorite music was written an recorded in the 70s and 60s, too. Love all of the singer/song writers...with the Beatles (and solo careers), James Taylor and Jackson Browne being some huge favorites. Also, love so many of those 70's bands. Many of them have been mentioned and may haven't.

        Neil Diamond. Sure, its cool to like him now, but try admitting that in college in the late 80's.

          That goes for a lot of music

          I remember back in the 70's being the only BOY in my class who loved Frampton Comes Alive.

          I also always liked Barry Manilow

                70s "Bubblegum Pop". I mean the cheesy-crap sold by RHINO Records and K-Tel. Stuff like Bay City Rollers, The Archies, Edison Lighthouse, Vicki Lawrence,....you get the picture. Lord help me, I love it.

                As an explanation, my Aunt, who bought every one of my Megos for me, was only 12 years older than me. When she and her friends were teenagers, they would frequently take little 3-5 year old me cruising around with them (this was the early 70s) and this was the music they listened to. The 70s were such a cool time and I have some great memories from when I was a kid.

                (By the way, I still have to hear the story about the time little 4-year-old me, filled with Southern Chivalry and Righteousness, yelled at some High School Boys I felt were being quite "un-gentlemen like" toward my Aunt and her friends. I told one of them, "You can go eat a rock, buddy!".)

                      Life's too short and I have too of high self-esteem for "guilty pleasure" termninology...

                      I love bands like NEIL DIAMOND, BEE GEES, CARPENTERS, ABBA, etc, etc.
                      and am proud of it

                            How about Deep Purple doing a Neil Diamond cover?

                            Gotta' admit, even my b*ll-busting buddies give me a break on that one.

                                Oh, yeah....I'll blast some Sam Cooke and if anyone gives me any crap, I'll play "A Change Is Gonna Come" and they shut up pronto.
