I'm looking for some suggestions for a '70s-style sort of ironic mix of guilty pleasures. You know - cheese, but the good cheese. Lately, when I've been DJing, I've been slipping in some stuff that fits the bill once a night, stuff like ELO - Evil Woman, Wings - Jet, Fleetwood Mac - Second Hand News. It's been fun and people like it.

Any other ideas? 10CC? J. Geils? I don't fucking know. Andrew Gold? I'll up it when it's done.

Not really 70's but...Michael McDonald.

Although his Doobie Brothers contributions might've been late-70's.

If you want to get REAL kitschy, throw in the Star Wars theme.
Or "A Fifth Of Beethoven" (from the Saturday Night Fever sdrk.)

It's hard to describe. I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead playing "The Gambler" but Hall & Oates "Rich Girl" is great.

How about:
Elvis Costello - "Allison"
Ramones - "Blitzkreig Bop"
Talking Heads - "Psycho Killer"

(assuming that you're sticking to the hits.)

This is pretty much 2/3rds of the format at the station I work for.

That and 80's kitsch like Christopher Cross.
