    Underrated? well I doubt anyone knows it and it weren't a hit - Guilty pleasure? Well nobody cool would admit to liking Reparata, but here goes:-
    Shoes - Reparata

    Old News by Mitch James (Kiwi artist). Very far away from the kind of music I normally would listen to, but I love this one.

    Also Taylor Swift & ZAYN: I don't want to live forever

    And a few songs by SIA.

    Guilty pleasure - anything by Barry Manilow. Think my mum was into him in the 70-80's so heard his music growing up. Watched his concert in proms on BBC red button. Top performer at 76. Despite his obvious professionalism he doesn't come across as taking himself too seriously. Looks like he'd be a great dinner party guest......no there's a thread!

    Girl's Aloud - Biology is a really clever and original pop song, Xenomania at their peak.

    knocking on Heaven‘s Door by Guns and Roses
    Angels by Robbie Williams

    Let it go - Disney song from frozen. Got it on my phone from when the girls were obsessed by it, still give it a sneaky listen

    The colour by numbers album is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    I’ll add Heartache Avenue by The Maisonettes and Sign of the Times by The Belle Stars to the debate.

    Dont generally like Manic Street Preachers stuff as I dont particularly like his voice, that said 'If You Tolerate This' is the bollox.

    I love this song bought it on one of those 20 songs by original artists back in 1975 and until fairly recently didn't realise she was the Reparata who did Captain of Your Ship another favourite from a bit earlier in my childhood. Great to see someone else loves it all together now' Johnny and Louise both on their knees'

    agreed, a lot of their stuff just sounds like your average pop-rock songs made by a group of boring blokes. But it's a great song.

    Great song, as is Big Area which used to be played down The Albany in Deptford at the end of the night sometimes following a pill frenzied house session.

    Nothing guilty about that mate. That is a classic.

    Are you trying to start trouble before the big game?

    Don Estelle was in Bexleyheath Broadway about 25 years ago, dressed as Lofty, selling/promoting his latest album and chatting to people.

    There was hardly anyone at his stall and I’ve always regretted not stopping to talk to him.
