I use the term guilty pleasure for lack of a better phrase. If you feel guilty for liking any music than you're an idiot. That being said, one time I was hanging out after band practice and plugged my mp3 player in our PA system. Among the standard things we all listen to like Kalmah Porcupine tree etc... all of a sudden Ashley Simpon's Boyfriend came on naturally I got the compulsory "you're a fag" and "12 year old girl" insults but that was that. After the song was over, because god hates me the next song that popped up was a Justin Timberlake song. Anyway, what is some music that just doesn't belong in your usual repertoire. Do you listen to indie but put on some Kanye when nobody is listening? Do you like Punk but every so often you get your Lady GaGa on? Come on fess up!

I can't stand them normally, but when I'm trying to meet a project deadline I listen to Breaking Benjamen, don't even like them, but they help me focus I guess?

also: Eminem - Marshall Mathers
it's so absurdly violent I find it a fun listen every once in a while

oh well

I have some older Sevendust, and also pretty much all the pre-nimrod Green Day. And Collective Soul's first three albums. Also some older 311 and Alanis Morisette.

I have many guilty pleasures

You shouldn't be guilty about any of those bands (except maybe Brokeback Mountain). Machinehead are one of the most solid live bands I've ever seen - metal or othergenrewise, and minus the Burning Red/Supercharger era of subpar music, all of their other albums are excellent. Lots of people I've known who like them also believe their two most recent are their best. The Black Dahlia Murder are also not a guilt-inducing band. Their vocalist is an amazing lyricist (see: Unhallowed), their guitars are fast, melodic, and catchy (though a tad repetitive), and the drummers they've had on their albums all sounded like they had 8 arms and legs. And Pig Destroyer? Are you kidding me? Scott Hull pretty much single-handedly pioneered the grindcore genre with his 7 string barage of downtuned riffs. Be proud. Blast it Loud. (wow i just made that up)

As for me, I have a tendency to listen to 80's rock/metal. Accept, Skid Row, Def Leopard, Whitesnake, Van Halen...

I really love Nickelback, even if I shouldn't, but I can't stand their new album. It's a whole new pinnacle of selling out for them.

single ladies runs through my head often, though i do not own and have not downloaded it, so i guess there's no guilt involved, as no particular actions have been taken towards listening to it; it's just catchy as fuck.

two of my biggest pleasures, which i almost universally hide from people unless it becomes clear that they are kindred souls are
A) the sound of music
B) disney songs

now disney songs i love because of childhood, immaculate popsongcraft, and a few i genuinely just like (not in nottingham, bare necessities, etc)

but the sound of music i fucking love. with pretty much every fiber of my soul. and i have absolutely no shame or guilt about this whatsoever, though i have realized over the years that it really doesn't gain the respect of many peers.
but fuck them, man. rodgers and hammerstein are amazing; i don't care how out of fashion un-ironic musicals are, christopher plummer singing edelweiss is devastating.

outside of that:

I never understood the "Sell-Out" arguement when it came to Nickelback. Granted most of the stuff we hear from the radio from them is Rock watered down to be Pop-ish Mainstream. That being said, anytime ive had a chance to listen to one of their albums the best songs are the ones that will never be released as a single. Side of a Bullet stands out in that category. I'm also not ashamed to say their songs "Never Again" and "Animals" are on my playlists.

When it comes to Manson, he's almost his own genre now to me. His musical styles have changed drastically over the years, but hes still undeniably MANSON. I'm glad to admit that if there is a Manson Genre, I'm a fan.

I'm not really religious at all, but I agree that this is a pretty good soundtrack. But it makes sense, all the instruments and main singing parts were played by pretty big 1970's musicians.

I don't really feel too guilty about anything I like. I get some raised eyebrows when people see Jacko on my iPod, though, and liking My Chemical Romance got me a little ridicule. Back in 8th grade I'd hide my Jewel and Avril CDs so nobody would see them. And I sometimes listen to Linkin Park. The only song I don't play in my car unless I'm alone is Maneater. I LOVE THAT SONG.

sean · « **Reply #35 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 19:31 »

a guilty pleasure seems like a ridiculous concept to me. if you think a band is good why the hell should you feel guilty about it? for example, i think welcome home by coheed & whatever is a pretty reasonable song. and i have no problems with this. if you feel guilty about liking something then it sounds like in a way you really dont like it and you are listening to it for some strange reason.

I don't think so myself. Paired with Olivia Newton-John and a little Cliff Richard (not to mention a swing/rock mashup with Fee Waybill), though, it may seem odd to most people.

Don't get me wrong, I listen to a lot of Nickelback. But listening to their new album...ugh. I listened through it, and it sounded like, basically, "Song about sex, about drinking, about sex, radio song, radio song, sex song, drug song, sex song, sex song." Some of my favourites are the ones that'll never get airplay (Animals, Because of You, Deep), but listening to their albums you can tell as time goes on that they're writing more and more for the radio.

As for Manson...the difference in his styles really does shock me. The difference between Antichrist Superstar and Golden Age of Grotesque are noticeable. The band actually tried new things instead of rehashing the same old sound.

Also...whoever says Rush is a guilty pleasure - I will be visiting you shortly with a baseball bat. Same goes for ELO.
