The "country" (assuming it's popular country played on the radio) part is understandable, but Jazz...?  ???


Well I was referring to jazz. I hate country music.

Listening to the local fund raiser on the public classical radio station.  Don't know why, but I enjoy these.


Also,

My wife and I enjoy turning on a Rick Steves' episode, going to do something else, but turning it up loud  enough just to hear him discuss traveling through Europe.

This is so schmaltzy that I find it irresistible. But schmaltz it is.

This one too, for the same reason. High quality orchestral arrangements that are so lush as to be irreligious!

this is an astonishing album - it's on spotify for anyone who has access to that. I mean really astonishing.

I listened to the Amazon excerpts. That's some clever pastiche! Btw, there's a Dave Brubeck album of jazz versions of classic Disney tunes.

Yes it's called Dave Digs Disney and it's actually a pretty damn good album! :) Nothing guilty about liking this one:

Florence Foster Jenkins is a guilty pleasure, not Mario Lanza.
Jenkins sure is guilty, but very far from pleasure    >:(

I can't really say I have any musical guilty pleasures - I mostly listen to classical and jazz, sometimes Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath (with Dio), Queen, Jimi Hendrix, etc - but those hardly qualify as guilty pleasures. Chopin's major key waltzes are more guilty than that.
