    I'm also a fan of 'Wichita Linesman'. I used to sing that to my girlfriend, she was always less than impressed.

    His best songs are those that were written by Jimmy Webb. If you have not heard it I would suggest you check out Webb's own recordings https://www.allmusic.com/album/ten-e...s-mw0000080839

    Wichita Linesman is a good song.

    I think we should get the thread back on track with real guilty pleasures. I reckon everybody has them as music plays with us in strange ways.

    When you are getting into "we built this city on rock n roll" for just a moment, its an incredible guilt trip....."corporation games" ....During the song I hate myself for getting into it and on reflection the song is shite....Thats a guilty moment

    Music has that way...you know you should be hating it but something strange happens.

    OK I put my hands up - Roy Orbison - my mum use to spin his stuff on an ancient mono valve gramophone. Lush.
