Ha! You'll love this. My guilty pleasure is 70s bubblegum pop music! The Partridge Family, Bobby Sherman, the schlockier the better! Mostly, this is because I'm a HUGE fan of The Wrecking Crew; the tribe of top studio musicians in LA that were on pretty much EVERYTHING from the mid 60s to the mid 80s. Later Beach Boys, Cher, Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, The Partridge Family, post-Detroit Jackson 5, Carpenters, The Monkees, the 'Crew was the band you heard on all of those recordings and many more!
I admire the Crew's versatility. I became a fan because growing up, when I listened to a lot of this music, my sister liked it because she had a crush on David Cassidy; but *I* liked it because I realized quickly that a lot of this music sounded the same, like it was done by the same people behind the curtain. There was a "signature sound" for it. Turns out I was right. Between the Crew and the Ron Hicklin Singers; they WERE on everything I was listening to.. I felt like some sort of detective that I figured it out, and then Denny Tedesco put out the documentary movie, and it just tied it all together for me.
What's your guilty pleasure? Tell me in the comments!!
