Applause to Luis on To Pimp a Butterfly. Did NOT expect to see that record ever mentioned on SoT. But like Luis said, it was a 10 from first listen. Sonically superb, composed brilliantly, and if you can at all get into rap lyrically you can unpack the record for years. One of my favorite records of all time.

I'm a 70s-80s prog rock/hard rock guy( with forays into jazz-rock fusion), but I also like Al Stewart Dan Fogelberg (RIP) The Eurythmics/Annie Lennox Tears For Fears Linda Ronstadt Billy Joel Gerry Rafferty ( RIP) The Bangles Men At Work Huey Lewis and the News Thanks for mentioning Dan Fogelberg Pete!

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. That's my guilty pleasure :-)

I grew up in the seventies. Among my best memories are of my mom driving my sister and me to school, with the 8-track playing at any given moment Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, Seals & Crofts, Bread, Diana Ross and the Carpenters. Brings back to memory the scene from Tommy Boy, where the late great Chris Farley and David Spade are driving cross country and the radio starts playing the Carpenters' Superstar. Priceless.

Elvis, I also cried that day hearing about his death, living in Sweden, my tenth year. I still love listening to him!

Ketchup!!! HAHAHAHAHA! 1) Stevie Wonder - love that guy 2) Hall and Oates 3) Chicago - does that count? 4) Beastie Boys 5) America - especially "Ventura Highway"

A few guilty pleasures: 1. The Monkees 2. Early Bee Gees 3. Three Dog Night 4. The Association 5. David Gray

Great to hear Bjork get a mention. Such an amazing voice and one of the most original artists ever, and such a brilliant live performer.

Chistopher Cross debut is fantastic. Also love Gerry Rafferty's City To City. Perhaps the album i own that best fits the guilty pleasure theme is Kid Creole & The Coconuts' Tropical Gangsters. Genius pop music. Major respect to all, esp Chuck for mentioning Japan again.

5. The Turtles-- Turtle Soup (their last LP, '69) 4 Strawberry Alarm Clock-- Wake Up, It's Tomorrow (2nd LP) 3. Samantha Sang-- Emotion 2. Pirates of the Mississippi-- Feed Jake (song & official video) 1. Paula Abdul-- Forever Your Girl LP HM: Amy Grant-- Heart In Motion LP Thanks Pete and guests, fantastic show.

Winter reggae moment: I was once on tour, on the highway in a snowstorm, white knuckling, feeling really shitty about the hours of dark treacherous miles ahead, we throw on Toots and the Maytalls, and the mood got SO good, I believe it helped us survive! So yeah, reggae is winter music for me ever since

Most guilty pleasures for me would be ABBA and the soundtrack to GREASE. 👍😊

Fantastic show with great people.Thanks guys.😄👍👍

My 5: #5 - Amy Winehouse - Back To Black #4 - Jem - Finally Woken #3 - Daniel Licht - All 8 seasons soundtracks from Dexter #2 - Men Without Hats - The Silver Collection #1 - Ennio Moriconne - All his spaghetti western music.

Bob Scaggs, Harry Nilsson, Jackson Browne, Solomon Burke, Richard Thompson (props to Chuck)

Great show. My Picks : 1- Wagner : The Ring (Solti) 2- Mahler : Symphony n°2 (Bernstein) 3- Schonberg : Gurrelieder (Ozawa) 4- Stravinsky : Rite of Spring (Boulez) 5- Beethoven : Symphony n°9 (Fricsay)

Christopher Cross? Bjork??? Incubus?This is great! Michael Hedges!!Dan Folgerberg? AIC?????!!! These are amazing

Yeah for Siouxsie & The Banshees!

Someone mentioned Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention ? I had the privilege of seeing both bands live in the 70's and both very good.Especially Steeleye with the great Maddy Prior on vocals.At that time I was more into the hard rock and metal stuff so went along for the hell of it and was quite surprised how good they were as musicians and perfomers.In a way those concerts had an effect on me and developed an appreciation for this folk rock style of music.I think the more you listen the more you might just catch on to it.

Man i love so many genres away from the obvious to this channel--trip hop, hip hop, Industrial, classical, post hardcore, Indie, punk, etc etc but even for anyone who knows me a i do have some albums i love who would maybe shock friends so i'll go a top ten of those in no specific order 1. Duran Duran---Rio, 2. Duran Duran----Seven And The Ragged Tiger 3.. Seal---debut album. 4. Madonna-Erotica. 5. Madonna, --Bedtime Stories. 6. Level 42--True Believers 7. David Sylvian--Secrets Of The Beehive 8. For shame as it's a compilation album-10CC Greatest Hits. actually thats about it for what i'd really call guilty pleasures I expected more to spring to mind. I have to say as far as Banshees go, Kaleidoscope and Ju Ju are obvious stand out albums for me with John Mc Geoch on guitar, superb albums, Radiohead's A Moon Shaped pool is awesome.

Bee Gees, Mylène Farmer, FGTH, Amanda Lear, Maria McKee, Nik Kershaw, Duran Duran and so many more. There are so many great artists outside of our usual genres. Cheers!

Happy birthday Ken 🎂

Enjoyed this show immensely. Just like the HVS show of Guilty Pleasures and the earlier In The Prog Seat show of what you don't care for, this show gives us a little insight into just how wide and how deep the love of music runs with all the Prog Seat squares. Until the end, didn't think I would have anything George might mention but the Dirt by Alice in Chains came to my attention from some earlier SoT shows. And love Luis' attitude about WTF, no guilt about what he listens to and enjoys. But the personal winner for me is Steven and his love for TV themes and movie music as well. Have been peppered so often with questions like "Why do you have a CD of TV theme shows?" and "Why do you keep trying to learn and playing piano bits from movies and TV", Steven spoke well for my love of that as well. Spoke to some pleasures on the HVS similar show but my music love runs far and wide since I studied classical piano for years and grew up in a house where Dad liked Dixieland jazz and played classical violin, upright bass, banjo and piano and Mom liked the big band era and singers like Sinatra, Bennett, Doris Day, Judy Garland, etc. and played piano and organ. But for one who does love a lot of prog, have a strong tendency towards Power Pop [the Raspberries, The Wondermints, Cheap Trick, etc.], the blues [Muddy Waters, Lead Belly, Big Mama Thornton, etc.], classical [particularly Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky], 60s garage rock [mostly singles here but check out the boxed set Nuggets] and, more currently, a listening and following of Lady Gaga. There's a lot more - including much of what was mentioned in this show - but it's all good. Thanks for the fun, everyone, and as alway, thanks to Pete for the lists he posted.

I'm pretty sure Steven Reid would like Jim Croce if he is into Simon and Garfunkel. Croce is just wonderful music.

Hey,finally some love for Elvis. I totally agree and mention this all the time....Elvis' early stuff was totally hard rock of that period.Also,Steven's love of TV themes I also really relate too,love it,not to mention Luis and Devo...mongaloid he was a mongaloid! Great stuff everyone.

The Association- Cherish, Windy, Along Comes Mary.

Love Christopher Cross and the whole Yacht Rock thing. Some other great artists to check out in this genre: Marc Jordan, Bill Labounty, Robbie Dupree, Michael McDonald, Bobby Caldwell, Jay Graydon, Randy Goodrum, Al Jarreau, Boz Scaggs, Bill Champlin, Michael Franks, Eric Tagg, Michael Johnson, Carole Bayer Sager, Airplay, Peter Allen, Lou Rawls, Greg Guidry, Player, Alessi Brothers, Maxus, Pages, Randy Crawford, Maxus, Larsen-Feiten Band, The Wilson Brothers

The Mediaeval Baebes ‘The Rose’ Loreena McKennitt ‘The Book Of Secrets’ Enya ‘Watermark’ Madonna ‘Like A Prayer’ No Doubt ‘Rock Steady’ And one for Steven Reid - The Theme from the British children's TV programme 'Magpie'

Great, great show! I get it, it's all in good fun and it's basically just choices from genres that you wouldn't usually hear talked about on here but in absolutely no world could I describe Bjork, Prince, Radiohead, James Brown, Springsteen, Bob Marley, B-52s, Simon & Garfunkel AND STEVIE WONDER as "guilty pleasures"!! Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is an absolute modern masterpiece. To anyone who wouldn't give it the time of day based on it being hip-hop, I'd say just give it a chance. Headphones, the full works. There's a great vintage funk and jazz foundation on that album. The grooves! That bassline on 'King Kunta'! Ernie Isley, George Clinton guesting. Kendrick Kamar himself is an absolute master at what he does. Great mention of Richard Thompson from Chuck! Always appreciate a mention of Richard. Genuinely one of the best and most original guitarists around. A fantastic witty guy with a verrrry dry sense of humour makes his live shows a must, aside from the incredible musicianship. Also check out his live cover of Britney's Oops I Did It Again, complete with "medieval" guitar break! If we're just picking big popular artists, I'd go for.. Beyonce- s/t Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour Paramore - s/t Carly Rae Jepson - Emotion Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In

I love the theme song from MASH :-). Suicide is painless.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight by Richard & Linda Thompson could be the one that gets Pete into English folk rock. Perfect album. (As bleak as Joy Division.) And the guitar on the live version of 'The Calvary Cross' BURNS! Folkadelic, folks. Lots of great picks here. Totally on-board with Chuck & Luis.

The Bangles are super under rated as a band. I mean they sold millions of albums but everyone sees them as pop but they can jam. Doll Revolution is a good album. When they first got back together in the late 90’s they did an MTV concert that was real good. I also love their version of Hazy Shade of Winter.

Another fantastic show guys My guilty pleasure top 5 are Dido - life for rent Lobo - of a simple man Sly and the family stone - fresh Bread - greatest hits Till tuesday - voices carry

You can pick out the Scotsman by the clothing!! Cold up there.😬

CHUCK: Welcome Back😊 I loved you picks. I wouldn't call them guilty pleasures. There're more like sophisticated picks from a different genre. RICK: I loved your James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley pick in particular. All influential artists that deserve recognition. Thank you for giving it to them✌ LOUIS: I agree w/you about Kiss👍 They're like The Monkees w/makeup. I also liked your picks. Have you heard Devo's cover of Satisfaction? It's great! STEVE: I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent💖 I loved your picks, especially Terrence Trent D'Arby. Wishing Well, Dance Little Sister, Sign Your Name, all hits in the US and great songs. I also remember him having even greater success in the UK. ANTHONY: Even though you're not here, I loved your picks too😉 We have a couple of picks in common. I also have Violator and Music For The Masses. I also have Duran Duran's Greatest Hits. I'm also down w/A Flock Of Seagulls. I love the 80s. PETE: You continue to surprise me. We both hate GNR. I don't hate Motley Crue but, I think they're pretty useless in the grand scheme of music. We both like Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake and Winger. I'm slowly getting into Rainbow so, we'll see. I also have Purple Rain. I'm surprised you're a Prince fan?! I also would've never pegged you as a listener of Bob Marley, way cool😎 I'm a moderate Springsteen fan and, I have no problem w/his politics. And, I agree Ted Nugget is an asshole! MY GUILTY PLEASURES: JT, Justified & FutureSex/LoveSound (Sexy Back, OMG!); Michael Jackson, Dangerous, Thriller & Off The Wall; Tears For Fears, Songs From The Big Chair & The Bodyguard Soundtrack (I Will Always Love You, OMG!)

In the UK Jim Croce’s biggest success was Time In A Bottle, released as a single in 1973, not long after he died. It’s simply gorgeous, written as a tribute to his wife. Another taken far too young 😢.

This was so great! LaBonte's enthusiasm for music is so wonderful. I'm prog A.F., but DEVO will always be my first love. Thank you Louis for mentioning them. Other than prog and crazy jazz, I'm a big fan of bands like WIRE, Guided By Voices, Mission Of Burma, Black Flag and The Minutemen.

The Darkness first album is phenomenal.Great pick.

This may come a little late but if you listen to their Satisfaction, you'll get hooked. Yes, their version of the Stones' Satisfaction.

This is a re-edited post from my Facebook page. There are no bad answers to what we all listen to outside the norm. For this segment, I played it safe with music which would catered to many of the masses of the show's subjected premises. Growing up in the South Bronx, I was very fortunate to had been witness to the birth of Hip-Hop, yet I decided to leave that out yet always willing to discuss albums that should pique the interest of the open minded listener. Kudos to all of my SOT Mates with nothing but awesome picks. I know that many have questions of a "Guilty Pleasure" yet in theory it's more like, "what do you listen to and enjoy outside the SOT Prog realm...?" and as you see we've all scratched the surface of what makes up all individuals. Great job Gents, an awesome show.

I really loved this episode, fun hearing your “guilty” pleasures! I was a teen in the eighties and love any 80s pop, especially stuff that was popular on MTV, my main source for music. Some favorites: Duran Duran Howard Jones REO Speedwagon Tears for Fears

Love this show and these guys!

Nice with the Kendrick Lamar. As for Radiohead, I’d recommend The Bends to get started, and go chronologically from there. Context is pretty important when looking at their catalogue.

Fantastic stuff. Loved this! Such a variety in terms of what each one picked. I do really like some of the picks a lot. Huge fan of Rodrigo y Gabriella and have a really memorable anecdote. I remember wearing a Megadeth tshirt and was in the crowd. As their setlist progressed, I was holding my shirt. Gabriella saw and she all of a sudden whispered something into rodrigo's ear and next minute they played holy wars flamenco style. Really adore them for that. Gabriella is a finger player whereas Rodrigo uses the pick. My picks some of them atleast Boards of canada-the campfire headphase Juana Molina-halo Roy Harper-stormcock Fela kuti-zombie Daft punk-discovery

Great to learn that everyone on the show is human after all, not prog bots. :-)

Great show! May be my favorite ever on this channel

Wether you love em or hate em DEVO is a super important band. Those first 5 records are untouchable. Not to mention all the pre Warner Bros self released stuff. They put out a couple of so so records in the 90s but that last one they released called Something For Everybody was a fantastic return to form. Superb stuff! One of my all time favorite bands.

Tremendous show guys! Loved every minute of it. Here are my five: 1. Tears for Fears 2. Seal 3. Christopher Cross 4. Dan Fogelberg 5. Kenny Loggins

Pete Pardo everyone of your shows costs me a cd or two lol, but thanks!

Michael Hedges, James Brown and Lionel Ritchie great choices too. Love the Commodores too.

For me I have a secret love of "high dairy product" 70's bubble-gum pop, and specifically, from a UK perspective, The New Seekers! 😀

hi all ... good one ... sounds like there's room for a part 2 ... will have to do mine in a list ... cos I'm getting old ... 😁

Didn't see this one coming at all. And fantastic picks from every single person on this panel, including the MIA Anthony; A select few of these picks truly surprised me, if I'm honest. Curious if Chuck is a fan of IDM (ridiculous term, imo) artists like Aphex Twin? His mention of his love for Radiohead made me think of them (an album like Kid A seemed to dabble in that aesthetic.) Steven - I am with you fully on the TV themes; I was obsessed with them as a kid, just for pure musical enjoyment. Love them, too (and the Cheers theme is one of several.) Luis: "I don't really have guilty pleasures, 'cause I don't give a shit if people don't like what I like..." A man after my own heart! Fantastic episode, guys!!!

I love Kendrick Lamar, great pick Luis and I am in the same camp as Luis with KISS and thanks for adding me to Facebook.

George , thank you for the suggestion of Ideamen - Schemata. Also liking Cuba with the acoustic guys. Here in Australia I appreciate suggestions of quality music from outside the main lanes. Great channel , especially for prog and fusion fans.

BILLY SQUIER 1981/82 .. if you were in high school this was the summer album . The Stroke took over like GQ haircuts . Gone were the mullets and the Ramones . 'Emotions in motion , Learn how to live , In the Dark' . Solid riffs, players right through .

The Association. Cherish, Windy, Along Comes Mary.

Very interesting and revealing episode. Thank you, guys. Five totally different names I never mentioned before but are all worth discovering: Townes Van Zandt (American country, folk artist who's his lyrics make me cry and when I'm done crying I feel totally relieved) Angelo Branduardi (talented Italian guitarist and violin player, his wife wrote the lyrics and he has huge in Europe in the late seventies) Cocteau Twins (Scottish band with a complete unique post punk meets dream pop sound, fantastic guitar layers and an outstanding female vocalist) Dead Can Dance (Australian duo who sounded like Joy Division on their debut but departed totally from rock and dived into classical, medieval and worldmusic) Split Enz (always been a fan of the Finn brothers of New Zeeland, Neil going massive with Crowded House in the 80's an 90' and Tim composing some underrated solo material) ps. I'm a sucker for TV themes as well.

Another great show! I said a few weeks ago that I’d be buying a SoT shirt, I ended up getting two. So if any if you reading this see a slightly overweight, balding guy walking around Dublin, Ireland in a SoT or Prog Seat shirt say Hi to me! I’ll buy you a Guinness and we’ll talk about music.

A flock of seagulls!! Amazing album.

I should add one name to my previous list. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, a UK synthpop duo that is known in the States for their 1986 hit If You Leave from the Pretty In Pink movie. But Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys became huge in Europe in the early 80s. On their first four albums they were goundbreaking, experimental and influential. Although they had immediate hit succes, the deep cuts from those albums are worth discovering. Synthesizers never sound cold or robotic on OMD albums: they are moody, melancholic and have a certain degree of warmth. Their 1981 Architecture & Morality album is considered to be their classic album. And if you're still reading, I can tell you that the unique OMD sound was obtained by using mellotrons (the early prog instrument par exellence) next to synthesizers. Go check it out. You might be suprised that this was the same band that wrote If You Leave.

Great show guys. I have most of the albums mentioned. Like Luis said, no guilt when it comes to liking music but a few outside the box would be Burt Bacharach, The Four Freshman, Frankie Lyman, The Platters, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Grease soundtrack, George Jones, lots of synthwave, do wop, classical. Music is the soundtrack to our lives.

Foxx era Ultravox - well done Chuck! Great stuff!

Thanks guys another really enjoyable show, please do some more like this, "Out of The Prog Seat". Watching you guys is like hanging out with family, it's always fun and uplifting.

I love Springsteen,especially with the East Street Band, and I love his politics too. The guy is a great poet, and some early songs are almost prog :)

I am most definitely a progmetal fanatic, but I grew up listening to 70s and 80s radio. All of you had some outstanding picks, many of which I also like. Trying not to repeat any already noted, here are the five non-prog/metal artists that I would pick. 1 - The Monkees (these guys just don't get enough respect) 2 - ABBA (pure pop, anyone?) 3 - k.d. lang (more specifically Ingenue, which is just an amazing album) 4 - Chuck Mangione/Herb Alpert (yes, cheating by putting in two, but both have put out some phenomenal stuff) 5 - Pigeons Playing Ping Pong (funk band and if you've never heard of them, you really should give them a try) edit: Meant to add, you have a new subscriber; just found this channel; looking forward to watching more.

Steven hit the bull's eye with his TV signature tunes. The Rockford Files... need I say any more?

So it was 5am at Steven's house, it looks like he had just come back from his pimpin' job with his coat :-)

My guilty pleasures are 1. Barry Gray - soundtrack composer supreme for TV shows produced by Gerry Anderson. 2. Stevie Wonder - so ridiculously talented 3 The Carpenters - I was never a fan of them when they were around but I really like them now. 4 Janis Ian 5 Leo Sayer - I’ve been a fan since I heard Long Tall Glasses. Great voice.

I'm in my late-50s now so I really don't feel guilty about anything I listen to anymore (but I certainly did when I was younger), but as a lifelong lover of metal and hard rock, there are a few other things that I've always loved from the beginning. 1. '70s R&B and Soul. From Stevie Wonder to the Spinners to Lou Rawls to the Temptations and beyond.... 2. Glenn Campbell. Not a fan of country but I've always really enjoyed Mr. Campbell. 3. '70s soft rock....and I mean really soft. Whether it's Bread or England Dan & John Ford Coley or whatever. 4. Reggae. Don't know why but it just clicks with me. I've been to more than a few Reggae shows from local groups all the way to Peter Tosh. If I hear Reggae coming out of a beach bar (I live in S. Florida), that's probably where I'm going for brews. 5. Great vocal performances by women. Madonna or Dionne Warwick, Sarah Mclaughlin or Barbara Streisand and so forth....I don't necessarily love everything by them but there's plenty that I really enjoy.

I love me some No Doubt. Just fun, catchy music.

I'm with Pete on the self-titled Christopher Cross album. I've been listening to it all this week and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I already knew "Ride Like the Wind" before going into it.

Great show. Steven Reid cracks me up. My "outside the prog box" includes a lot of the names mentioned by you guys. But I also listen to Charley Patton, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly and other delta blues stuff. I have a soft spot for Cyndi Lauper. I saw her live back on the True Colours tour in the mid 80's and she was brilliant. Her band included Rick Derringer on guitar. She finished with a solo, unaccompanied/a capella version of True Colours and it was spine tingling. Heilung are a particular fave of mine, too. One of the best live experiences I've seen in a very long time.

Great pick with the Bangles, Stephen. I really like In a Different Light, but their debut album All Over the Place is even better. One of my fave bands of the 80s.

Sparks - Any era, Madness - Ska with fun & personality, 99 Luftballons, Rock Me Amadeus, Early B52s, William Tell & 1812 Overtures

Just found this one. I feel like I'm right there with you guys. I love hanging with you through these shows : )

Mike Post also served as Lieutenant Governor of California under Jerry Brown.

Erasure-The Innocents Abba-Arrival Bee Gees-Main Course Barbra Streisand- Stoney End Human League-Dare

For me it's Tori Amos - quirky and hugely emotive, A-Ha - synth pop with a bit of edge, Sarah McLachlan - lush, Radiohead - genius from the left field, and Duran Duran - why the fuck not!

Björk! Kendrick! Christopher Cross! Great picks

There is a legend that says that Christopher Cross filled in for Richie Blackmore in the early 70's in San Antonio when Deep Purple was touring and Richie was sick. Of course that may just be a legend. And of course Dan Fogelberg was a tremendous musician. I saw him live twice. Once at Beacon Theater in early 90's with his band. And then Nassau Coliseum in 1982 when he toured as a solo artist. Just guitar, piano and a microphone. He really was a great musician. The Innocent Age is probably one of my favorite records. Not just because of the hits from that record. But everything on it is great. In The Passage is tremendous.

Jack the Lad and The JSD Band are two folk-rock bands I like among, others. Madonna - True Blue, Donna Summer - Bad Girls, Glenn Miller & His Orchestra, The New Christy Minstrels, Steve Earle - Guitar Town...

I know it's done for fun, but I think shows like this are actually really important. Why? I think for music lovers, it's often a very short step from "music nerd" to "music snob." Shows like this demonstrate that it's possible to be one without the other.

Some of my favourites: Joy Division - Closer The Cure - Disintegration Depeche Mode - Black Celebration Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Wire - Pink Flag Tim Buckley - Happy Sad Nick Drake - Pink Moon Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Seven Days of Falling Scott Walker - Scott 3 Above & Beyond - Tri-State Alvvays - Antisocialites Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour Sade - Love Deluxe

Brilliant show, you all love music 🎶 that's all we need.

A Flock of Seagulls, taken from the lyrics of Toiler on The Sea from The Stranglers awesome Black and White album from 1978.

Great show and as entertaining as ever. Glad to see JAPAN, got some love on here, lucky to have seen them play live at, The Queens Hall, Leeds, (now demolished) they were absolutely brilliant. America saw them as a support act to, Family, at, St George’s Hall Bradford. Saw Depeche Mode at a then Pub in Leeds called, Amnesia, Free in too! Again very good.

I remember 2 back in the 80's. Level 42. World Machine Oingo Boingo. Dead Man's Party

Props to Chuck for picking Siuoxsie and the Banshees.. Managed to pump out many great albums, despite how they felt about the music business. An utterly unique group.

Prince is my.musical hero. A genius. Brilliant pic.

Loved watching this ❤
