Guilty Pleasures?
mAlice aforeThought:
a) it bloody well ought to be.
b) i am a former TOPY whore.
Vertical Stripes:
Oh fuck me gently with a chainsaw, I forgot about Maroon 5.
I can hear my brain breaking, but "This Love" is so freaking catchy.
Burninated Peasant:

Wow V.S., how many people remember Heathers? That used to be a favoured quote amongst me and my friends in high school.
Hmm, guilty pleasures... I absolutely DREAD 80's mainstream (as most people with any musical taste do), but there is one song in particular that is guaranteed to get me on the dance floor: "Groove is in the Heart" by Dee-Lite. I could be in the deepest funk and that tune will pull me right out of it.
Another guilty pleasure: "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys. Love it. LOVE IT.
Most people I know think Frank Zappa should be a guilty pleasure, but I tend to disagree, mainly because he was the most brilliant man ever.;) Those who know of him only casually have no fuckin' idea what a huge impact he had on the world (not just in music, either).
Empty Friend:
I didn'ty namedrop radiohead. You can not deny the similarities. I like radiohead mind you, but it's not like that's uncommon or elite at all.
Hector Gilbert:
--- Quote from: Sweet Nuthin ---I like Dave Matthews. It gets to the point, though, when I hear Crash into me one too many times at school dances that that song in particular drives me completly bonkers.

I have to admit that out of those that actually dislike Dave Matthews, the most common complaint I hear is "they're so overplayed". I guess that I grew up and started listening to music just when DMB went out of the spotlight, and living in Ireland might have helped as well, but by the time I did get my DMB fix people were already as divided over them as they are today.
I've introduced myself to The Flaming Lips through "the back entrance" as it were, via their early albums, and I must say that The Flaming Lips EP is great. They don't show much musical skill here, but the songwriting is immense with creepy and articulate lyrics, and clever twists and turns. It's probably my favourite from them, having heard everything up until the rather good In A Priest Driven Ambulance. I must admit that I haven't heard any of their major label albums yet, but I plan to start in a few weeks.
