EDIT: quoted wrong person

I see. I apologize for overreacting, but there's no need to denounce a whole genre just for a few bands. It's kind of funny since I like the music you listen to as well. Heh, I was most likely in a bad mood at that point.

But yeah, I see what you mean. My bad.

I admit to:
Funeral for a Friend
Rob Zombie
Dee-lite
Brand New
The Hives
Incubus
OKGo


SECOND'D!

But I don't think that neither The Hives or OK GO are guilty pleasures ;)

Also, in the dark depths of my soul, there's that little girl who likes Kelly Clarkson........I feel so dirty.

EDIT'D: I hate grammatical errors.

"Since U Been Gone" is a good song and I don't care what anyone says.

Anything else she's done, though, uh, well, can't say I approve.

Fall Out Boy, though I don't feel too guilty listening to them.

After all, they've toured their asses off, promoted Chicago artists like its their job, and are genuine dudes.


I was definitely about to say Fall Out Boy.

Dashboard Confessional,

And basically every song ever popular in the eighties.  Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds springs to mind.

Not really a guilty pleasure since I'm not ashamed of it, but my friends make fun of me all the time for liking Fantomas. Other than that, I also like Nickelback - How you remind me.

I was talking about the Lewinski joke. Hell, any Chili Peppers track is the worst Chili Peppers track, in my opinion. Which is why I hate the radio.

Yes, it's teh worst. But "Da Funk" makes up for whatever stumbles the band may make. Because it's the best song ever.

Has anyone acually ever worked out what any Rob Zombie song was about.


Also, he has pretty damn good music videos. At least, Dragula had a really cool video.

That's what all White Zombie songs were about, a lot of them even had the same titles and so forth, but Rob Zombies solo stuff tends to just be a collection of totally random cliches that sound cool but signify nothing.

I love how half of the things that people are listing as guilty pleasures, I listen to totally sincerely.
Anyways, mine. I don't know if you could really call these guilty pleasures, but had I any shame (come on, I'm a theatre kid), I would probably list these.

ABBA (on my audioscrobbler chart for last week? mamma mia was the number three song)
Britney Spears
*Nsync
Pat Benatar
Kylie Minogue (although, if you ask me, no one should ever be ashamed of loving Kylie. ever.)
Emma Bunton
The Spice Girls
Lots of assorted American/Canadian Idol performances (I know, I'm a tool.)
Toy Box
Aqua
The Spin Doctors (IT'S CATCHY.)

I'll... stop now. Before I lose all my street cred.

This thread's about confessing your guilty pleasures, not about confessing to drowning puppies in truckstop toilets.

My god, I hate to sound elitist (actually, no, I don't) but you should probably be locked up for listening to some of that stuff.

You know, for your own good and all that.

I have a soft spot for "Love is a Battlefield". And "Toxic". Tell anyone and I'll kill you.

Also, does Chic count as a guilty pleasure? Because I'm listening to "Le Freak" right now and I think I should be feeling ashamed, but...not so much.

I've got a few that i don't really consider 'guilty pleasures', more just bands that a lot of people hate. like Greenday, the Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, a good few punk bands, Beastie Boys, Placebo, a bit of Jimmy Eat world, Bright Eyes...
Plenty more too.

As for me, I like bits of everything so I'm usually not ashamed. The only thing I could really think of is the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack, but I'm really not ashamed to admit it, and don't really hide my love for it or anything like that.

Yeah, I figured that would be the reaction. I'm not going to trot out a list of actually good bands that I listen to, because I'm not here to impress people (and also because I'm lazy), but that really is a small percentage of what I listen to, and I realize it's bad. I'm not going around saying that Britney Spears is a paragon of musical genius, but damnit, Toxic is a good song. I love dancing, and that's what this shit is made for. I love fun music.
But seriously, I'm not ashamed of anything that I listen to. If I was, I probably would have said
<smallvoice>sometimes if a Britney Spears song comes on the radio, I don't change the station!</smallvoice>
but I didn't, because I think that's lame. It's ok to have fun when you're listening to music, kids.
