I am a big Men Without Hats and Spoons fan and I've been defending myself for over 20 years. I haven't lost any friends over it but I'm not sure I've made any either.

Is Tasmin Archer's "Sleeping Satellite" a guilty pleasure?

Not New Wave. Not even from the 80's. Still a great song.

- "MMMBop" by Hanson (My wife loves to give me crap about this one -- but I can turn it around and make fun of her Phil Collins obsession -- now THAT is embarrassing)
- "Hanging by a Moment" by Lifehouse
- "Just when I needed you most" by Randy Van Warmer(?)
- "The Final Countdown" by Europe (?)
- Asia's first album (just found it in the garage last night when going through the old vinyl -- can't wait to listen to it, but I'm not telling anybody about it [:)])
- The occasional Huey Lewis tune
- I also found Styx and Journey in the garage last night. "Paradise Theater" didn't make it into the house(waaaay too embarrassed), but I think "Escape" did. I should be playing air guitar to "Mother, Father" by the end of the week.

I probably have an mp3 compilation cd with 75% of the songs listed here - and those were personal selections.

LPO states:

"But you know what else I like...One Dove 'White Love'."

Good tune, as well as "Breakdown". I still have my fingers crossed that some obscure record company will release compilations of early-90s tunes that only lasted about a week on the modern-rock charts i.e.~

Tasmin Archer
One Dove
Seven Red Seven
Cliffs Of Dooneen
The Millions
Drop Nineteens
The Waterlillies
Chimera
Eve's Plum
Lulabox
Tribe
Happyhead
The Nymphs
etc, etc, etc......
