Sorry to practice thread necromancy, but I thought it'd be better than to create a duplicate of an existing thread.

I'm ashamed to admit that I rather like a fair chunk of Mandy Kane's stuff.

He made a brief grab for fame at the end of 2003, but ended up fading into obscurity.

i've recently broken out the old new found glory and northstar cds from my younger teen years. i'd have to say they are my two biggest guilty pleasures. "nothing gold can stay" (new found glory) is one of the best albums, and northstar is always good. oh man.

I'm always slightly ashamed of my liking for Shania Twain, and that my first CD was Sandi Thom. Not that either of those women are bad singers, but Shania Twain sings songs that are not of my moral slant (heh I sound so pompous) and Sandi Thom blends so well she should be a shade of paint.

Right now I'm listening to "Islands in the Stream". I win.

I was jamming that song on my headset at work one day. These were open-air headphones so pretty much everybody could hear.

My friend, who sat across, flagged me down and told me, "Not sure if you got the memo but hmm, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton is NOT METAL!".

I responded by cranking it even higher.

I'm new. Love indie/alternative, but I also really dig:

Pink
Some of Shakira's stuff from, like, 2002
Lily Allen
The new Maroon 5 single, forget what it's called, sounds kinda disco-ey
That song that goes "Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I've got"
KT Tunstall (although I don't know if she should really count as a guilty pleasure)
Rhianna's "Pon de Replay"
KC and the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight" (I think that's what it's called, anyway)

I've heard that the Gorillaz are a guilty pleasure, but I totally disagree. I have absolutely no guilt for loving the Gorillaz. I'll shout it from the rooftops if I have to. I. Love. The. Gorillaz.

I love how so many people think this band is essential just because Cobain liked them. I'm not saying you're one of them, but it's really hilarious. Everything I've heard of the Melvins is dire.

I hate Kurt Cobain, and I love the Melvins. The Melvins may be one of my favourite bands, actually; every release they've done (including earlier albums and Ipecac stuff) is highly rated in my books. I'm not posting this to say you should like the Melvins, I just disagreed with the Cobain link being the only reason to like them. Nirvana even stole a few of the Melvins' riffs!

And I like the Mars Volta too. Bollocks to the lot o' ya!

"I keep Sheryl Crow on my iPod under 'Cat Power" - Michael Showalter in the highlight of his commentary of popular music...second maybe to this.

Okay maybe you had to be there, but I am going to be pretentious and post out of context jokes because I SAW THE MICHAELS of STELLA live and MET THEM!...Yayyyyy.

Okay. My not so guilty pleasures are Bonnie Tyler, Journey, Shakira (I love her, actually) and...actually I might be gulity of this one.. I LIKE FALL OUT BOY. Sorry, they're catchy.

Oh, that and the Card Captor Sakura beginning ("Catch You Catch Me") and ending ("Groovy") themes.

I love Catch You Catch Me. In fact, I have a soft spot for most JPop

Oh, I forgot about Jpop. I kinda have an old nostalgia for it (an old friend of mine was nuts for it) and I'm slightly ashamed of it.

Yeah, I know the post is really fucking old, but as I obsess over a number of J-Pop songs I had to quote this one.

Click link in sig. And I'm also working on transcribing (with MIDI magic) a couple really awesome songs from the Bleach soundtrack (Disc 2 track 9: phenomena) in the style of Yuzo Koshiro, as it happened to develop.
Another guilty pleasure: Do As Infinity's Fukai Mori, for the same reason as the link in the sig. Japanese pop love song.
I'm big on the old school VG music scene, as dropping such a name suggests. The Streets of Rage soundtracks ARE FUCKING AWESOME.

Rie Fu is NOT A GUILTY PLEASURE BECAUSE RIE FU IS ALSO AWESOME, but in a completely different way from Koshiro.

(BTW, Koshiro and Michiru Yamane apparently both contributed to one Castlevania DS title soundtrack. I must hear it because it MUST BE ABSOLUTE SEX!)

But for real guilty pleasures:
Vitamin C's "Vacation"
Tom Jones's "Ring of Fire" cover
Hairspray soundtrack (though I dislike the way that musicals' soundtracks are mixed usually)
The Protoypes' "Kaleidoscope"

I love Fatman Scoop. All he wants is for people to put their hands up and to party! He is really looking out for everyones best interests. And that Madison Avenue song "Who the hell are you" came on at work the other day and I totally shook my butt to it while I worked. I am ok with this. I've really had to learn to enjoy cheesy dance music.

Wu Tang Clan and Dr.Dre, but more for the comedy value than actually enjoying the music. I also enjoy some stuff by The Shins on occasion.

Okay, I totally visualized that, and giggled way too loudly in the computer lab.

Shame might not be the right word...someone yelling out their windows doesn't have much shame. Well, perhaps in retrospect.

I used to like Barenaked Ladies until my roomate last year kept fucking listening to him. Now when I hear their songs all I can remember is his SMELL! He stunk like 4 bags of pure, unfiltered ass that had been covered in compost and poo. He could stink up the room in 30 seconds. So yeah, I can't listen to Barenaked Ladies anymore due to the horrible case of PTSD it brings up, but they used to be on my 'Guilty Pleasures' list.

As for now, any and all Power Metal stands on top of that list.

DragonForce
Blind Guardian
Turisas
Rhapsody of Fire
and etc.

Natalie Imbruglia would have to be mine. I'm not just talking about Torn either for which I have no guilt for liking, (best pop song of the 90's) but basically everything she does.

His work in "Mars Attacks!" changed my life! The man can summon wildlife as if he were a Disney princess.

I just found some of my old mix CDs from high school, and I have to say, I completely forgot how much fun it can be driving around blaring "Mr. Brightside" while doing one's best imitation of Brandon Flowers.

Plus, their drummer has a huge, flame-red beard and uses a cowbell on the live versions of some songs. How can you not love that?

'Kay, I'm just gonna come out and say it:

I like Jason Mraz.

I think it's cool how he can cram 47 words into each line of his songs.

Also, I think The Hollies' "The Air that I Breathe" is cool. And "Bus Stop" is my most favorite song of all time.

Yellowcard. I have "Ocean Avenue" on my iPod just in case I get the urge.

I worked at Tower Records when it still existed, and when I claimed the promotional copy of that album I got crap for days and days.

Al Stewart, people. Overwrought 70's folk-rock with Sorta-Deep Lyrics Often About Historical Events, with less street cred than Cat Stevens or James Taylor.

I can't help it... it's a strange compulsion...

I had a pretty serious Jason Mraz phase for the same reason.... Then I noticed that 10 out of those 46 words was the word "wordplay" or one of its synonyms. I wanted to hit him over the head with a copy of "Love's Labour Lost" or something. Still, his voice is so... Sujan. I love it.

Anyway, I guess my guilty pleasure would be Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone." But is it a guilty pleasure if you enjoy it on an ironic level?

Yes. It wouldn't be if you just liked it though, it's a good song. As it is, you should feel guilt.

I mainly listen to rock so the rihanna and kelly clarkson floating around my computer would qualify as my guilty pleasures. my friends would say Jethro Tull is a guilty pleasure but they are way too awesome to be guilty for anyone.

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #344 on:** 16 Oct 2007, 08:28 »

Kelly Clarkson's latest album had Mike Watt playing bass on it. Mike Watt is one of the most rocking men ever. Therefore, Kelly Clarkson rocks as well as most music on your (or anyone's) computer. Rihanna's patchy but when she's on form it's hard to find too much to fault with her.

People really need to stop having so much guilt over perfectly good music. The only thing to feel shame over is liking things ironically (because that's just annoying).
