Guilty Pleasure Songs!

[Dimi71]

John Fred and his Playboy Band/Judy In Disguise

I'm sorry Volker, but this is a classic, and in no way a guilty pleasure!

Confucious said that to know a number was easy, but to know the name of the number was to discover the path to enlightenment. Well he didn't actually say it, and maybe he didn't actually mean it, but I think that message is clear.

If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room...-Confucius

This thread is like going to confession, so here it is (nearly):

We all have them - that song on the setlist that we can't wait to play. It's probably not the hardest bassline but it just feels good to play. It might even be a little embarrassing. For me - Unbelievable (EMF). How about you?

Are you Peter Frampton?

 

[Dimi71]

Sooo guilty.... this is a pleasure...

Darling dearrr

Always liked playing this one. Only got to play it out once though. Don't really know or care what the words mean - I'm pretty sure they're nonsense anyway. Bass feels like thick butter.

A bit of a busy bass line, but very satisfying to play imo:

 

[David Porter]

Modern English, "I Melt With You."

Simple, rocking, can play it on autopilot, and it takes me back to my first gig in high school.

That slide from C to F, then G to C still gets me!

Pointer Sisters - Fire

A great version, but I also like Bruce Springsteen’s as well

Not actually on a setlist but I wish it was...

I'm having troubles substantiating this at the moment but did you know that the same rhythm section that recorded with Nancy on "These Boots" were also the iconic incredible backing rhythm section on the Grammy award winning record, "Green Eggs And Ham" that you grew up with?
None of the links I've come across include the original LP recording with the hep jazz drums and bass backing behind the recitation which sounds like "These Boots".

Unbelievable (EMF) is on my list of all time favorites. Whenever it comes on the radio I crank it up wayyyyy too loud

Aaron Neville's House On The Hill. Our way. Doubling with the guitar player on that breakdown riff, dynamics shifting from sparse to full on boogie and right back down, getting a syncopated thing going with the drummer while the guitar solos that's different every time depending on what we feel like. Like this Red House version, but a lot more dynamic range. Nobody knows it in the places we play, but everybody's groovin' by the time we're done! SO TIGHT! Yet loose as a goose.

Sorry, got carried away just thinking about it.
