Guilty Pleasures

 

Feel-good summertime music, assembled into four different packages covering each of the past four decades of popular music.


There are those songs that you just can’t get out of your head, the ones that no matter where you are and who you’re with, once you hear the opening few bars, you have a nearly uncontrollable urge to sing along. Sure, you’re a little (or a lot) embarrassed to know most of the words, but you simply can’t help but be immediately transported back to a summer in your past when life was simple, driving with your friends to the mall or the beach with not a concern in the world, other than whether another of your favorite pop songs was going to come on the radio next.


By producing four different collections assembled by decade, each of Pottery Barn’s customers will be able to choose something that, based on their age group, provides them with the guilty pleasure of hearing the infectiously entertaining songs from their youth.
