Who doesnât? Though I suppose for non-Americans the part with the baseball running the bases might be confusing.
Hereâs one of mine, my music snob brother would be APPALLED.

I have a good idea why we wanted it dead in the USA. Disco became so popular that someone, record companies? TV companies? I donât know who, but we got inundated with disco-ized versions of everything, if a TV show had a theme song, they made a disco version and then over played them on every radio station. It was a nightmare. Really, how many times did I have to hear a disco version of the âI Love Lucyâ theme song. I canât even stand half the episodes of that old black and white show.
But I like ABBA, (which would also distress my brother, lol, but heâll ever know.) Unless one of you tells.

The Monkees are just legendary! 
Like a lot of their tunes and also used to play them - should get back to this.
Baseball itself is confusing, but I like watching and Major League will always be one of my favourite movies. Another (non-muscial) guilty pleasure though.

Fun fact that major league movie was filmed in a baseball stadium I spent most of my childhood watching games in and the main broadcaster Bob Ueker AKA harry doyle is a character in real life. I met him once and got his autograph when I was about 12. He still broadcasts now and does tv commercials. He has to be in his eighties by now.

Guilty pleasure ? Ehmmmm ? As much like @DarrellW I like a little Floor and Nightwish, for me its Amy Lee and Evanescence. Southern Rock and 60s/70s rock is my go to but I can never get enough of Amyâs goosebumping vocals, its like ice running through my veins. Simples.

First LP I bought
Very fond memories of the TV programme and some of the music that came from it as very young teenager.
Got some LPâs somewhere, wonder if it is one them.
Probable not

The few times I sort of saw Cricket, which has only been in movies, I just sat there wondering, what the heck is that all about?
Now soccer/football I understand. I can see why that is a worldwide sport.
I do like baseball though as I grew up with it, but itâs much more fun at the stadium. Can get rather boring on TV.

Great album, I do have that. Turntables and LPs are still in boxes though. We moved into this still not quite finished house 18 months ago and unfortunately the TV room is the last room to be finished. But I still have the internet.

Been following this thread, havinâ a bit of a laugh, wondering if I too will reveal my âsecretâ.
As a rugged, sport-lovin, girl-chasin teenager growing up on the east coast of Australia in the late 70s, early 80âs, I was into music like ACDC, Dire Straits, Midnight Oil, INXS, The Angels, KISS, Talking Heads etc.
But I had another band - and it was Boy George and his band, Culture Club. Some of my mates used to give me shit about it, but I didnt care.
They did make some great songs, and George was a terrific vocalist. I think his persona, and the fact he couldnt stop pumping heroin into his arm, had a big effect on his overall success back then. Still he has kicked on over the years, and had a pretty successful life across several areas.
I even remember buying a Culture Club T- shirt. Wore it to a local nightclub once ( was not quite 15 at the time, but that was how it was back then), and this grown man wanted to punch me out.
Anyway, looking back, they were fun times, and my ears will still prick up today when I hear George crooning away on one of their big hits. And still today, I think he had one of the richest, soulful voices of his generation.
There ends my âconfessionâ. 
Cheers, Shane
