Since my fiancee and I have combined CD collections, there are too many to count!! Club Nouveau, Soundtrack from "My Best Friend's Wedding" soundtrack from "Mirror has Two Faces" I could go on. But my truly guilty pleasure is Supertramp "Breakfast in America" and the soundtrack from "Cats".

Yawn

It's totally cool to like some of this stuff like Supertramp, Meatloaf, and Duran Duran. (Although maybe not the Partridge Family and the Captain & Tenille.) Why do you think "classic rock" radio stations and VH1 are thriving?

Hey when you're 11-13 years old Bobby Sherman, Davie Jones and that crew were dream boats....posters plastering walls etc.

My 18 year old discovered Rocky Horror and didn't realize that Mom actually went to see it in college (more than 1X)....And that Stairway to Heaven actually was not a "new album" and the Pink Floyd is really old...
and Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson is who his little brother was named after. Funny to see what the new generation goes for and thinks is new....and cool...
I took him to see Page and Plant when they came through 6 years ago and they were not good....sounded all the same.
The kinkos I get copies of the market schedule 5:30am sat. has Disco piped in...thought it was dead and buried deep....hoped at least.

Grease!! I can quote the entire movie to you! Have the photonovel, original movie poster, you name it! Wore out my first 3 copies of the tape--hopefully the cd lasts longer!

The Village People is always a good icebreaker; first thing to get everybody up and moving although nobody can believe you actually own it!

If you've got teenagers almost anything you listen to is geeky.....They make fun of Dave Matthews Band.

Isn't Captain and Tenille a guilty pleasure? I didn't know Kathie Lee and William Shatner had albums. I will have to check 'em out. No but seriously, about Andy Williams, we used to have his Christmas album when I was a kid. When our babysitter came over, we would make him play that album even if it was April! I wonder if my parents still have that album!!

If you haven't heard William Shatner "sing" (and I use the term VERY loosely), save your ears some genuine pain. His rendition of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" could make a long dead dog howl. MB , if you really want something to punish your kids with, forget Kansas and Styx; go with Shatner. I believe Leonard Nimoy has an album out, too!

I think William Shatner also recorded "MacArthur's Park," who ever it was, it was truly frightening. Being the scion of good taste that I am (yeah, right), the most incriminating thing I can come up with is Vonda Shepard. I'm a sucker for her covers of some of the 70's and 80's stuff. I do have to hide my husband's Dave Clark 5 CD before company arrives, though . . .

No Smile

Only if I get to leave the house first! Life is to short to have to listen to William Shatner sing. I heard somewhere that some of the other original Star Trek cast members recorded some stuff as well. Scarey.

Talking

If truth must be known, then I am a huge Elvis Presley fan and have his greatest hits double CD. My wife is a professional singer and she cringes when I am playin my Elvis.

Remember, we are all sworn to secrecy.

Wasn't William Shatner singing on some commercial for a dot com? I think I heard he got some stock to do this commercial.
I think I saw a Leonard Nimoy album once. If I remember correctly, it was him reading his poems.
I wish we had a smiley face that shuddered cause I would use that one right now!!!

Yeah, it's the priceline commercial. That's not singing. He's trying to be like Lou Reed or something.
