The Temptations, Cloud Nine; Rose Royce, Greatest Hits; and an early Rolling Stones compilation.

Do you download music, and if so, legally or illegally?
I can barely flip a record over, much less download stuff, and I really like pictures and the artwork.

Probably Johnny Cash, At San Quentin, or an Elvis greatest-hits (collection) we ordered off the TV.
What song would you like to have played at your funeral?
I can't pick just one, and seeing that it is my funeral: David Bowie's "Station to Station" played maybe 50 times; the Pretty Things, "Come See Me"; and "Rebel Rebel" (Bowie again).
Musically speaking, what do you love that your friends don't know about? What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
Not really a secret--'60s and some '70s girl groups: The Supremes, The Ronettes, The Shangri-Las. Girl singers with big butts just drive me crazy.

Johnny Thunders and Ike Turner, for the obvious reasons!

Iggy and the Stooges, Raw Power.
