Ipod guilty pleasures

Yeah I like Robbie William's solo stuff too. Things like:

- Strong
- Hot Fudge
- The Road to Mandalay
- Feel
- Let love be your energy

Lots of great songs and I don't really care if he's a dick or not. He's got a good voice and is pretty entertaining. I loved that bit years ago where he jumped up and down exactly like Daffy Duck shouting "I'm rich, beyond my wildest dreams"! after signing an £80m record deal. If I was a rock/pop star that's exactly how I'd feel, and I'd go on a massive bender taking every excess going for the next 20 years and love every ****ing minute of it.

Excellent choices Sir, I also like Advertising Space and Me and My Monkey as well. Wasn't to keen on the Rudebox album (though the rest of it was much more listenable than the title song, though I'm sure it's not true it's very easy to believe the stories he deliberately did the worst song he could just to see if it would still sell) and didn't bother with his last one but generally I do really enjoy his first six. Loved the swing stuff as well.

Is anyone else kind of wishing Take That would just go away again now? It was nice for a while but they really went for the overkill at the end of last year being on everything everywhere.

Bloody Hell!!! I have their 'UP' album and it's a blinkin fantastic pop record. Unfortunately, by releasing 'I'm too sexy' they got tarred with the novelty act brush and slowly faded away. 'Do Ya Feel' on that record is superb:

There were also superior pop thrills to be found on forgotten second album 'Sex And Travel', and then a couple of mediocre singles in 1995 and it was all over for the Freds. Shame.

And yes, inflatable dalek, i don't understand why the second coming of Take That has been made out like the return of our lord jesus christ. they're not that good (Girls Aloud are better!).

On an unrelated note, I did a little cheer when Jesus Jones got name checked in some sappy rom com 'Going The Distance' i was watching with my girlfriend last night.

Been on a hip hop/rap kick recently, with every Eminem and a fair few Kanye West and Lil' Wayne albums, with a bit of The Streets thrown in for good measure.

I used to scoff at such artists and the genre in general, but I'm really enjoying the wordplay as I get older and the beats are funky to work out too, prefer to the *BEEP BEEP* dance music my gum plays anyway.

Oh and in a bid of total nostalgia I've recently fallen back in love with Ride again, Going Blank Again is one of the albums of the last century, shame Andy bell went on to be an Oasis session musician.
