Guilty Pleasures

We all have our musical guilty pleasures. Something a little further afield from usual listening habits. You have a few glasses of red wine, you fire up YouTube and before you know it you're watching old Fleetwood Mac and REO Speedwagon.

No? Just me?

Most recently I stumbled across Fleetwood Mac's 1997 reunion shows and The Dance album in particular. The song Silver Springs immediately caught my attention. My parents are big Fleetwood Mac fans yet I don't remember ever hearing it as a kid. The video from the show highlights just how raw and emotional music can be. The performance a masterpiece of how it should be done kids.

Rolling Stone has a good article on the song, turns out it has quite a story to tell.

    I'm not sure I'd consider REO Speedwagon and Fleetwood Mac guilty pleasures given what I know of your listening habits. If you said you had insatiable cravings for Christina Aguilera, maybe.
