Gregory Abbott: ”Shake You Down” (The steely intensity of a Siberian Husky from a Jack London novel)

Color Me Badd: ”All 4 Love” (Waves of Nostalgia / Riptide of Regret)

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long" (Blade Runner). Oh, CMB, you took the radio by storm from 1991-1992, and those were some good times. We are here to celebrate our favourite of your big three - the ebullient chart topper "All 4 Love" (not to be confused with the Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting song). This episode not only celebrates this great song, but we also take a deep dive into the history of Color Me Badd. We look at their humble beginnings, their turbulent lows, and the highlight of their career: being featured on an episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210". Also, Chris Newkirk weighs in not once, but twice, proving Frank's adage true: "You can't have the waves of nostalgia without the riptide of regret." 
Thank you for listening to our show! We appreciate follows/subscribes, fanmail, reviews, and most importantly your friendship. Follow us on Instagram or Twitter @bandfguiltfree.

Bryan Adams: ”(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” (Kevin Costner Depreciation Day)

If Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures were a TV show, this would be our “sweeps week” episode.

Join us as we celebrate the heart song of the early 1990s.

Richard Marx: ”Endless Summer Nights” (A ‘Hallmark After Dark‘ Winter Song)

Bill loves everything about "Endless Summer Nights." He's a (Richard) Marxist. Frank, however, needs convincing. In today's episode you will find out who was the coolest kid in Frank's elementary school, the significance of this song's sax soloist, and why the accompanying video is awesome. Thank you for listening!

Boyz II Men: ”Motownphilly” (Back Again)

Bill and Frank tackle Boyz II Men's debut song. We discuss Coco, Philly cheesesteaks, bad song requests to acapella groups, a proposed Broadway musical, and more! 

Peter Cetera and Amy Grant: ”The Next Time I Fall” (The Grant-Cetera Paradox)

Bill and Frank discuss Peter Cetera's greatest duet (sorry, Cher!) and the song that introduced the secular world to Amy Grant. Also, Chris Newkirk (of The Julies) joins us for an extended "Would Chris Newkirk Like This Song?" segment with surprising results. You are in for a treat!
*We pronounce Michael Omartian’s name wrong. O-Mar-Tee-An, not O’Martian, like an alien from an Irish planet. 
**Frank recorded on the wrong mic, in case you are wondering why he’s recording in a fish tank.  

Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville: Duelling Duets (An Impossible Decision)

When it comes to immortals ruling the universe, The Highlander believes "there can only be one." Does this apply to Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville duets? Bill argues for "Don't Know Much," while Frank argues for "All My Life." Can these coexist or will there be only one Ronstadt/Neville duet to rule the universe? Find out in today's episode!
