David Bowie is not a guilty pleasure.

If you said Tin Machine, you might have a point.

Like the tempations/four tops/ motown stuff from the 50s/60s?

I bear the burden of a parent who adores motown. *fallonground* *twitchviolently*

...If I had to say a guilty pleasure, I guess I'd have to say Train. I like them. I hated them when they were constantly on the radio, but they're okay now.

After seeing Metallica's One video, I can hardly call them a guilty pleasure.

God, it sounds like we're talking about porn for our ears...

Loads of people hate Dave Matthews Band to the point where it goes beyond taste issues, but I've never really understood why.  Most of the reasons I get are really shallow.

...And yes, I do like them quite a bit.


For me it has to do with the fact that I really can't stand them.  They're not pleasing to my ears (you're talking a a big phish fan here too), they think they can jam but they really can't (well, Tim can, the rest...meh).  They're trite and I find that a large portion of their fans are pretentious pseudo hippies who leave the show in the brand new Porsche daddy bought them.

Also, I saw them live and it was the most boring concert experience I've had.

Yeah, everyone always assumes the Dave Matthews Band is a hippie band with followers who run around in their tye-dye... As there are no such people... *whacks them all with rolled-up newspapers*

in reference to synthpop 'guilty pleasures', i'm in the same boat with those who said nonsense like 'it's crap, big steaming piles of it' and suddenly find that i've amassed quite a lot of it.  I'm really digging Assemblage 23....but then, i always have.

VNV Nation is something i'll definitely put on from time to time, totally forget about for months and then have a strange urge for.  the new album previews i've head are quite nice.

selected Apoptygma Berserk songs too.  Icon of Coil, XP8, Angels and Agony, Lights of Euphoria....

hmm, what else?  Furnaceface. Fleshpaint....and, um....Natalie Imbruglia*sigh*.

Don't be hating on the young MC! The fact that every single one of his songs sounds like a not quite good enough version of 'know how' is no reason to be ashamed.

It's okay if you do it properly. Like them because they wrote some good songs, not because they're "funny" when they sing about drugs and sex. So Long and Thanks... is pretty good, as are White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean, and Punk In Drublic.

justin timberlake.  i didn't realize he was a guilty pleasure for me until my sister was playing it in the living room the other day, and i was having a fantastic time dancing all by myself in the kitchen doing dishes...
ace songs to dance to, if nothing else.

in fact, most good dance songs i claim to hate, but then slowly realize i'm obsessed with them.  see: fatboy slim, britney spears, etc.

Damn you!

As someone who at least pretends to be pretty metal, I am simply not allowed to express a liking for anything Metallica did post the Black Album. However, I must admit, that some of it is pretty cool hard rock (Fuel, their cover of Stone Cold Crazy, etc.), though none of it's Master of Puppets.

Whilst I'm at it, and safely ensconced on a non-metal form, let me also say here and now that I prefer Cradle of Filth's cover of Iron Maiden's 'Hallowed be thy Name' to the original. Same goes for Dimmu Borgirs cover of Twisted Sisters 'Burn in Hell'. Oh and Dimmu are still actually pretty good, bitches! Oh yeah, and In Flames are a cool band, and Clayman is a better In Flames album than Whoracle. Hell, you know the Trigger EP that everyone hates? I QUITE LIKED THAT EP!! Hah! Also, Opeth are way more metal than you elist cack-heads will ever be, they play better guitar than almost anyone and Mikeal Akerfeldt's voice is amazing. Arch Enemy? Better with Angela Gossow. Nightwish? Once is a great album! King Diamond's mid 90's albums are better than Them and Abigail.

Hmmm.

Oh yeah. All those Immortal albums were Abbath was on drums that it's super fashionable to hate nowadays were awesome. And Post-Black Metal is awesome. All of it. Yeah, even the 'awful techno shit' like ...And Oceans. And Dead shooting himself in the face was the best thing that ever happened to Mayhem. Euronymus owned him.

Wow, that felt good to say. If I'd posted this on Metal Archives, Ultraboris would probably just Durst* me on the spot.

 It's like banning, but worse. I don't think I need to explain the etymology...

This needs to be a cuss word now. I think society can agree that "Durst" would make a good swear.

"Durst off!"

or

"Piece of durst!"

"Son of a durst!"

Lord, so true. And "Rock Your Body" has that great bassline and breakdown near the end. That shit gets my head bobbing, I tells ya.

As does Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl". I fucking love that song and I don't care who knows it!

I went through a pop-punk phase several years ago when I was actually happy, and Dookie was my bible. Now I'm cynical, bitter, and jaded; Castaways And Cutouts is my bible.


Your Bible sucks. As do the people who conjured it.

Anywho...

I don't really have any guilty pleasures, since I listen to a whole slew of genres, but I guess liking Tiny Dancer by Elton John is a guilty pleasure, seeing as how I don't like anything else from that part of his carreer.

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

It's less guilty pleasures than stuff I don't mention when some of my school friends are around. So I like Iron and Wine, so I like Michael Franti, so I like Beck, so I like Bright Eyes. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT!? It's not fault I don't like your rock crap boring and shallow.

Actually, one guilty pleasure; I'm partial to the odd bit of the 'Chilli Peppers

I like all of those artists AND I like "rock crap boring and shallow", which means that I am better than you. :P

But seriously, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, or how to write. "rock crap boring and shallow" is both untrue and incorrectly written. There's just as much depth in rock as there is in other genres; mabe even moreso. Please refrain from making baseless claims.

The fact that you like the Chilli Peppers is preventing me from getting angry. ;D

I think I had it as just 'rock crap' and then went back and added in adjectives (I was probably aiming for 'boring and shallow rock crap' but wasn't paying attention.). I never said that all rock was crap, boring and shallow. Just the stuff they try to make me like.

bunch of my 'friends' like good charlote, insisted on playing it. so there. Eventually i did a "your music sucks" override and played my music.(yeah we spent most of the day (week?) sitting on leather sofas playing cards and plugging our mp3 players into convenientley placed speakers.)

I like chilli peppers but they are repatative and sometimes crap.  I never really thought of it until i saw it on tv, the gold paint video, and i thaught, this song sucks, sucks like monica lewinski.

I don't think i have any guilty pleasures, no guilt, just, yea i like this, screw you. I sometimes avoid playing shivaree because stupid heads don't apreciate real music. Screw it, come monday i'll make them listen to it.

My latest CD purchase was god's kitchen classics :-p (club/dance/trance) but it's got those CLASSIC anthems. But i like it, so what, not ashamed.

Music elitism isn't cool, kids. It's fair enough to defend your favourite genre but "you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, or how to write"? No need for that, okay?

For some reason I feel guilty for liking the Fiery Furnaces despite the fact that they're one of the awesomest bands EVER.
