Why Is 1997 The Year Of "Guilty Pleasures" In Music?

In this episode, Rich and Clint discuss the concept of "guilty pleasures" in music — songs that you love despite the fact that they're generally not held in high regard. The guys focus on 1997, a year that has been called the "year of guilty pleasures," a 12 month period that produced more than any other year. Is that true? If so, why? Special guests this week include Tony-winner Kelli O'Hara, singer/songwriters Stephen Kellogg, Will Evans, Josh Panda, Peter Day, Jeff Symonds, Brian Chartrand and Greg Naughton (of The Sweet Remains), producer Jack Gauthier and Emily Voorhees.The Age Old Question is part of Pantheon Podcasts.
