Colin Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 You hate to admit and would never brag about it, but when you are alone, far from the outside crowd, you sometimes play this song or disc. What is it that is a guilty music or movie pleasure of yours? Must be related to use of Klipsch products. If you cant fess up to this dirty little secret of your own, you can tell on some one elses shockingly bad taste. This is the place to do it too. A public forum with hundreds of active participants. As in all things volunteerism, Ill go first: At the end of a harried week, before the Honey Does of the weekend ripen to formal requests, Ill sometimes come home and crank Billy Idols White Wedding. Sheer unadulterated, pounding, from the once King, now Grandfather, of Punk Rock. Horribly recorded, lousy playing, sloppy, sappy and terribly fun. And this too: My brother, I am shamed to confess, loves the silly song, My Ding-A-Ling! I do mean love, as in he walks around singing it with his 10-year old nephew, who is just discovering his own dingy thingy. They sing I want to play with my Ding-A-Ling with the same unabashed joy as if they both, 44-year old man, and pubescent child alike, discovered exactly what they wanted under the Christmas tree. A gift far greater than what they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 AC/DC's Back in Black or You Shook Me All Night Long. Loud enough to shake the house, so I have to wait till the family is gone. Mason Williams Classical Gas is another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

space_cowboy Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I also confess to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. On vinyl, the soundtrack albums to Mission:Impossible and Mannix by Lalo Schifrin. There, I feel better now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickey Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 The Knack - My Sharona. The opening drum sequence always reminds me of why I bought my Chorus II's in the first place. Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" is also an opening riff favorite. Did I just date myself???? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Oh... Geeze. Ok, in high school I would never have admitted this, but I loved Michael Jacksons Thriller album. Guess I still do. I even asked for the CD last Christmas and never got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Moon, Thriller is pretty good on SACD. My favorite MJ album is Off the Wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 i go into my church after hours when no1 is there and put in music from the muppets: my fave is boom shakalaka this song is intense coming through the klipsch cluster we got installed there...the loudest i've gotten it is well over 130db (wearing ear protection of course and measured with a peaking out SPL meter we got in the booth). other songs i bust out there: 2001 space odyssey intro thing, some celtic bagpipe techno, and the lion sleeps tonite (u thought klipsch home stuff rocks? u so gotta hear their professional installations...it's insane! so much so i risk my neck playing with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Dr Who, You sinner you... That is good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Aahhahaha.. I am not the only closet MJ fan. However, hey I only like thriller. Non of his other stuff appealed to me. Man, I'd got beaten up in high school if I had admitted to that. Stoners just didn't like MJ... Well, at least nobody admitted to it, I mean NOBODY. ... Ahhhh the good ol early 80's.... Oh and lets clarify one thing... m00n is no longer a stoner. Those days have looooooooong passed me by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I'm afraid to see what fini posts... Not sure if it's all that "guilty," 'cause they're fairly respectable, but Depech Mode Violator will rock the house when no one's around. However, the "guilty" pleasure would be Erasure. Guess their stuff is just fun! DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I watch, "The Crawling Eye" a classic sci fi film, with audio through the Quartets. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Getting a movie related to Klipsch is tough. I was watching Back To The Future and noticed that the time travel Delorian seems to have two multi sectoral horns on the back. Does anyone recognize a model and brand?

TheEAR Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Easylistener, "I also listen to michel jackson thriller. I havent told anybody about this in a long time." LOL Yes Thriller is a classic,sometimes I too listen at ear tearing SPL. Shame on me Whell I see you all try and be civil and dont really tell the dark secrets Let me come out of my closet... Me my secret is watching pOrn at high SPL HA HA HA HA Yes you read correct,its nasty and I like it loud. Grunts and moans at high SPL,now that is bad. Hey at least I tell the truth,like it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hmmmm. Every once in a while, when the mood strikes, i'll flip on some Latvian folk music and remember the holidays of my youth. Otherwise, No audio skeletons in this closet.. Gil, I believe those to be Stephens multi-cellular splays. (Favorite movie BTW) I'm glad it finally came out on DVD. Oh...as far as non-audio related, guilty pleasures are concerned.... I don't feel guilty for any of my pleasures. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdnfay Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I think most music lovers have a copy of "Thriller". Along with a copy of "Dark Side of the Moon"and "Frampton Comes Alive"...Oldie Goldies. I must admit,I like to break out the 70's era disco(when no ones around). Patrice Rushen, Donna Summers, Barry White and yes..."Saturday Night Fever" just to name a few. Big D Used to be a DJ in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Guilty pleasures? Let's see... Anything and everything by ABBA. True the early stuff is lightweight (but yummy). But from "Arrival" on, they really began to mature into a great pop band, anchored by Agnetha's and Frida's angelic vocals, and Benny and Bjorn's fantastic ability to write great tunes. (derivitive yes, but still great) Henry Mancini. -nuff said. (try it if you're over 40) Hoku. Yes, the teen-queen daughter of Don Ho. There, I said it. A forty-something guy sitting in the dark jammin to the pubescent pop of a moderately talented teenage girl. Does this make me a bad person? ...hey, she just has this fresh, innocent appeal, that is quite a relief from the in-your-face, sex-for-sale writhing of Ms Aguilera and Ms Spears. I think that is enough confessing for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn_male42 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 how about the carpenters greatest hits???? and yes i like hoku also....her song from legally blond soundtrack got me hooked.... russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
