It's much longer than a 45, and a little bigger than an EP. I hope this clears things up.

Lew Lewis is embarrassing??!! Stan, how could you? Lew Lewis is a most righteously blueswailing harmonica man, who stayed true to his music, when all around him were going punk. I play his two CDs regularly and seriously considered going all the way down to Southend to see him when he staged a comeback gig a couple of years ago. Embarrassing??...never!!

It's why I call them guilty pleasures Wynonie.

At least I don't or didn't have a Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer album like a lot of my peer group

Eric · 05-12-2007, 19:18

I have Boston, Chicago, Trooper, Foreigner and all that good stuff, plus CCR, BTO, and Nestor Pistor. Oh, and Humphrey and the Dumptrucks, and Doug and the Slugs.

Eric · 05-12-2007, 21:38

Shoot ... I shouldn't have put CCR in there; they are one of the great rock bands of all time.

Eric · 05-12-2007, 21:45

And I'm having second thoughts about Nestor Pistor too ... his song "Winestoned Plowboy" must put him up there with the all time rock 'n roll greats.

I think it's time to quit, I'm really "willowing" on here

Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Journey - Escape

A couple of Wreclkless Eric albums and Lew Lewis.

But rather than call them embarassing I prefer to call them guilty pleasures, so come on Gayle 'fess up

Oh yeah forgot, the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Wreckless Eric guilty pleasure!!
Genius I think...

Still don't understand, Stan...if somebody's good, why should they be a "guilty" pleasure...and why should they be in the embarrassing LPs thread in the first place?

Because it's something I bought that was totally out of kilter with everything else I had at the time (Slaughter and The Dogs, Damned etc) and I thought it reminded of Dr Feelgood at the time. (I also preferred his stuff in Eddie and The Hot Rods).

I see it as a guilty pleasure as nobody else liked Blues/Pub Rock at the time and so therefore kept such albums under wraps.

Maybe I don't have any embarassing LPs then (Like I said earlier no Yes and no prog rock (I don't have the Slaughter and the Dogs album any more

).
