We've all got them; those hideous musical festishes that are hidden away in our cupboard at home. The guilty pleasures from yesteryear that we're ashamed to admit we still like. So this is the start of a new weekly feature on the blog, where readers share their Daggy Music Confession.
First up is Catherine. Take it away mate...
"It’s sad to admit that I have a soft-spot for Australian rock/pop boy-bands. Southern Sons, Thirsty Merc and, best of all, 1927.
"1927 were one-album wonders in the late 1980s Australian music scene. Their album, …ish, was probably my first non-plastic pop purchase, and back in the days when you bought things on cassette! Last year, they released a digitally remastered version on CD – and I haven’t looked back. I’m surprised by how well I remember the lyrics from all the big hits, like 'Compulsory Hero', 'That’s When I Think of You' and the very best, 'If I Could'. Find out why it’s such a classic pop/rock anthem here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iJORI55kPE
"If I was hit by a bus listening to …ish on my iPod, I’d be a bit embarrassed when the ambos found out… but I can only hope that the ambo is a woman who was also aged between 11 and 18 in 1989. Then we can gossip about how much we loved the lead singer, Eric."
Well done Catherine. Glad we've helped you get that off your chest. Your secret is safe with Shout About Music... and the rest of the worldwide interweb...
