Guilty Pleasures is a 2007 album by the band Lazlo Bane, consisting entirely of cover versions of various hits from the 1970s. Unlike the band's previous album, Back Sides, which was released only digitally through online music stores, Guilty Pleasures was released both on CD and digital download formats. It is also the first and only Lazlo Bane album where every member of the band sings lead vocals on at least one song.
All the songs from Guilty Pleasures were originally released in the '70s, except "I Love You" by Climax Blues Band, which was released on their album Flying the Flag and also as a single in 1980.
The titles of several songs were changed from their original ones. The first song, listed as "Get Right Back", is actually titled "Right Back Where We Started From". The fifth song, listed as "Lime in the Coconut", is in fact simply titled "Coconut". The sixth song, listed as "Alone Again", is actually titled "Alone Again (Naturally)". The eleventh song "The Things We Do for Love" is listed as "Things We Do for Love".
The album features a number of guest musicians, including frequent Chad Fischer's collaborator Larry Goldings and the band Cleto and the Cletones among others.
The front cover of the album features four characters of the Funny Face Drink Mix, a popular late '60s and '70s powdered drink mix. The characters from left to right are: Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry, Goofy Grape, Jolly Olly Orange and Choo Choo Cherry.
