Your guiltiest musical pleasure

I listen to them less than any other group, but I like the Eagles.

Also, even though I can't stand the songs beause of what they represent in the band's history, I kind of like the choruses in KISS' "My Way" and "Turn On The Night". It's like a car accident: you don't want to look, but you can't help but sneak a peak. Also, we know not to stare at the Sun. So, why do some people do it? Sometimes, even disasters (of any kind) are interesting. And, KISS RULES! So, I can't help myself.

How can any of you feel guilty about all that stuff? All those are legitimate artists with a solid fan base of music lovers, though not heavy metal fans.


This is what guilt's about:


Kriss Kross - Warm It Up Kriss
Vanilla Ice- Roll Em Up
EYC - Feelin Alright


These are not only guilty but they make me doubt my own sexuality.

Duran Duran, I love Duran Duran,
some of Rick Springfield singals
The Monkees and I think Pleasant Valley is a nice little protest song, I am with Rattpoison, I have no guilty pleasures, I also like Cyndi Lauper's singals.

[quote="Trial by Fire"]
Korn, System of a Down, Mudvayne, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Thrice, At the Drive In, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Fall of Troy, The Human Abstract, 3, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, Muse, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Protest the Hero... and I'm sure there's some
more as well.

I think alot of these bands are great modern metal bands, nothing to feel guilty about. Well maybe Thrice but the rest of the bands you listed are great.

The Cure

I LISTEN TO A LOT OF JAZZ.

Don't be embarresd about jazz. Most of the greatest musicians are jazz players.

As for me, it'd probably be Michael Jackson.

I love alot of Jazz, Miles Davis-Bitches Brew, Birth of Cool
John Coltrane-A Love Supreme, Jaco was very cool, Weather Report, not music to feel guilty about, alot of great artist, I could have named about 10-15 more I like, and that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

Dude Prince is an excellent musician, so not a guilty pleasure and Genesis is also a great band and of course Buddy Holly is a rock n roll pioneer, guilty pleasure I thought meant something almost border line cheesy like for example ABBA, which is another one of my guilty pleasures.

Janet Jackson

Duran Duran
Steely Dan, have every album & solo stuff
Roy Orbison
Oak Ridge Boys
I have about 30 classical cd's that get a lot of air time.

Aah, alas I misconstrued this post, I though it meant anything outside the realms of Metal.

Sinatra
Dean Martin
The Insyders

Loverboy (the first 2 albums)
Little river band (I love their 70's stuff)
Carpenters
Pat Benetar (yes I love the early 80's stuff but even the stuff like "Love is a battlefield" and "Le Belege" I dig alot, even sing it with my wife in the car....I'm so embarassed )
sappy love songs by Bryan Adams and Foriegner


so you get the idea, I like 70's and 80's sappy love songs

Im gonna go now and watch rugby or tune an engine or lift weights cuz my feminine side is rearing its ugly head!!

I have about 3000 jazz CDs...so it's definitely not a guilty pleasure for me!

I guess if I had to pick one actual band for a "guilty pleasure" it would be Seals & Crofts...yes, you heard right...Seals & Crofts. Diamond Girl is da bomb.

Steely Dan could very easily be THE MOST TALENTED BAND of the 70's. Everyone should have at least 1 Steely Dan album in their collection...I choose to have all of them.

I've only got Aja. That is a very good album.

ABBA was wonderful! I could listen to 'em all day.

My musical tastes are all over the board, so I'm not really sure anyone who knows me could say, "That is the preference of music that he predominantly listens to". So, if I had to pick anything, I would have to go in the pop direction that is that of Barry Manilow or Barbra Streisand. Say what you will about these two, but they ruled the 70's, and still can pack them in when they tour. Especially Barbra; she is like the freakin' Eagles when it comes to the amount of times she has retired from perfoming live. Everytime she comes back; she suckers people into believing this is the last tour. LOL.

Guilty pleasure is a weird thing, I don't particually feel embrased by anything I like. When I was younger I used to get a lot of crap for liking George Michael's " Listen Without Prejudice" but I think it is a great album, that shows growth in songwriting and singing, I hated Wham and " Faith" just too pop, but on " Listen" I heard an artist with a lot of depth and showed his r & b roots.

I don't feel guilty for liking that album, but it is funny when people go thru my collection and they get m's and they see Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Metallica, and others and they is George Michael, I guess I should tell them it belongs to my girl.

I found a guilty pleasure that I am actually ashamed that I like, I have to take a deep breathe.... I don't mind Rick Springfield, yes that is right pop act, soap opera acting, cheeseball Rick Springfield, I enjoy his cheesy 80's hits.

There I said it, they say confession is good for the soul. Now excuse me while I cue up " Jessie's Girl"

Rick Springfield had some really good songs in the 80's. Be proud of your cheesiness, manny!.

I know every single solitary lyric on the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW soundtrack album.
