Guiltiest Pleasure

[hmxsean]

So what is it you are listening to when you don't want other people to know what you are listening to? Like you like to show yourself as the hardest mf'er on the planet but sometimes you just have to run a bath, pour yourself a glass of white wine and let the smooth sounds of Toto wash over you. You know what I am talking about.

[freakonate]

Yeah.
You had a hard night last night. :confused:

Actually for me it IS a glass of wine (red of course, cuz white wine is for sissies!) along with this really cool music channel on my cable - the subterranean music station. It's like music for robots!

[Rev0lver]

well, metal is my favorite genre, but occasionally i like to listen to some coldplay and death cab for cutie

[Desensitized]

The Pipettes.

Although I WOULD cop to listening to them, it's not something I would boast to listening to. Even though I love them.

[Blue88]

Bright Eyes

They're pretty much one of the most emo bands ever, and I should hate them, but they're actually really good.

[Shneybz]

i dont care what people think of my opinions in music, but people have said that Death Cab for Cutie is *** and i like them a lot.

[jmccabe1978]

My guilty pleasure is Vanilla Ice as sad as it is to say

[hmxsean]

My guilty pleasure is Vanilla Ice as sad as it is to say

I know what you mean. Sometimes I listen to that song "Informer" by Snow (Candian Reggae? How?) when no one is watching.

[Eman311]

Hey there delilah- Plain White T's
that and fall out boy, i know........ im crazy

[jewfrothunder]

Mine would have to be Coldplay :o

[SirAnonymous]

My two worst ones?

Beck and Gorillaz.

[FalseReality]

Fallout Boy
Avril Lavigne
and occasionally some country

[JudasHendrix]

My guiltiest musical pleasure?

House of Pain. If you tell anyone I'll kill your dog.

[Gear_RA_RA_RA]

Maroon 5 :O

[Teh_Jakester]

...Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

[Frankenlife]

My guilty pleasure is Vanilla Ice as sad as it is to say

GO NINJA, GO NINJA, GO GO, GO NINJA GO.

Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers that one.

[Bradega]

GO NINJA, GO NINJA, GO GO, GO NINJA GO.

Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers that one.

When I was a kid, I watched the Turtles movie it was in like 500 times. Sometimes several times in a row.

I listen to all sorts of music and never feel a need to hide it. However, I do have a guilty pleasure in music... the Katamari Damacy OST. If someone made a music video to those songs, it would be about pink fluffy rabbits doing cute things all day long. So, yeah... that's my guilty pleasure.

[StartSomething]

...Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

Never gonna run around and desert you!!!!!!!!!!

[travmeatwad]

Bright Eyes

They're pretty much one of the most emo bands ever, and I should hate them, but they're actually really good.

Dude, I love Bright Eyes.. I admit to liking them.. I saw them live, too.. Plus, they're not emo.. So yeah. Haha..

But, erm.. my Guiltiest Musical Pleasure.. hm.. Drake Bell (the guy from Drake and Josh)? He's not as bad as you would think for being one of those kid actors (even though he's like 20.) Haha.

[Desensitized]

Blondie.

Self-titled and 'Parallel Lines" ftw. :p

[DIEGOROBOT26]

I like Little red Corvette by Prince :(

[bucknut32]

My guiltiest pleasure? Well it'd have to be Roun' The Globe by Nappy Roots. But speaking in terms of rock, I'd say Green Day. And people laugh at me for liking Journey and Bon Jovi too!

[BobLoblaw]

I don't have any guilty pleasures, my taste is flawless. :)

[sa_nick]

My two worst ones?

Beck and Gorillaz.

I like both of them normally, lol.

But after a long night out party, drinking and rocking out it's good to come home at 5am, on the verge of passing out and chillin to some Dresden Dolls.

Also, BobLoblaw, ur name rocks. Have u posted any blogs yet?

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Toto wash over you. You know what I am talking about.

Dude! What in the hell is wrong with Toto! Africa FTW!:o

[whofan]

My guiltiest pleasure?

80's Pop

There, you made me say it! Are you happy now?!

*Runs off crying*

[Phrank-E]

Again.. I'm not ashamed of anything I listen too. My ipods full of everything from the absolute complete works of Slayer to The White Stripes.

But one thing I don't go around advertising on the net due to the flamefests that can ensue would be The Insane Clown Posse. Been bumpin' to the Wicked **** for over a decade and have loved every minute of it. So did my mom. Me and her been to several shows together as well.

[HardRockerBrazil]

Heh, I do love rock in a general sense (moreover hard rock and heavy metal), but sometimes I do listen to 70's and 80's pop - and yes, it includes Michael Jackson, back at a time he ruled.

[BeckRokk]

I MISS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA!!!

I'm normally pretty indie, but Toxic by Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani's solo work, Kylie Minogue, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor are all pretty embarassing. But boy do I love them.

User was banned for not being rock enough- HMX Admin 7-19-07 2:52 P.M.

[rcf1105]

I love the music from Disney movies. Yes, I'm weird.

"Somehow IIIIII'll make a maaaaan out of yoooooou!"

[trent0090]

Mine would also Be Death cab, though after living in Bellingham, Washington I really couldn't think of a different type of rock to come out of that sleepy college town.

[cmg4894]

The Pipettes.

Although I WOULD cop to listening to them, it's not something I would boast to listening to. Even though I love them.

The Pipettes kick ass. I listen to them and tell everyone I know to listen to them.

My guilty pleasure is the Spice Girls. Well, I don't even know if it is a guilty pleasure because no one should be afraid of what they listen to. If you like it great, screw everyone else.

[Phiromos]

i'd say i listen to some death cab for cutie when i need to really relax and take a break from upbeat songs and such, when im not listening to Bon Jovi RHCP or the beatles i put on some death cab for cutie

[Akaymay]

Eh, well, my dad is a huge country fan, and I always despised it. But he got an album by this guy named Jason Aldean, or something like that, and most of the music was pretty good...:eek:

[no_direction_home]

i like rock and hardcore but my guilty pleasure is listning to bright eyes and....coldplay

[MrGrieves]

I have a huge distaste for Emo but once in awhile I listen to My Chemical Romance

[Tazeyo]

Tom Jones and some pop.
I don't know if it's really a guilty pleasure, since I don't try to act as the hardest m'fer 'round.

It has to be Pavarotti in the end.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

i have no guilty pleasures, i'm proud of everything i listen to :D

[Tazeyo]

i have no guilty pleasures, i'm proud of everything i listen to :D

That is a lie and you know it. ;)

[aku_chi]

I feel kind of guilty when somebody walks in when I'm listening to No Doubt. It might have something to do with half of their songs being feministic and me being male.

[Prescott523]

Honestly, I looked through my iPod, and I only found 2 really embarassing ones, and one that I know some people think are fake. The two embarassing ones are Hawthorne Heights (my girlfriend got me into them, and the whole '3 guitarists thing' is pretty cool, not gunna lie) and My Chemical Romance, as backed in a previous thread. And the sometimes considered 'fake' one is Rise Against, but I find nothing wrong with them...

[battle_axe_of_doom]

That is a lie and you know it. ;)

nope tis tr00 :D

[Kang_Zircon]

I listen to a pretty wide range of stuff, so probably about half of what I listen to would be considered a guilty pleasure on a rock forum... But the most shameful? Probably either the J-pop stylings of SMAP and Judy & Mary, or Wham!. Also I really the song Scatman... and I sing it while driving.

[travmeatwad]

Hawthorne Heights (my girlfriend got me into them, and the whole '3 guitarists thing' is pretty cool, not gunna lie)
If having all of your songs sound EXACTLY the same is cool, then fine by me.

And, I don't know what you mean by Rise Against being "fake."

[Prescott523]

A. You need to hear all their stuff. One guy only plays power chords, so maybe that's where you get the idea from.

B I wasn't calling them fake, I have heard it before though. They're one of my favorite bands.

[DIM12345678910111213]

looking at porn and then getting a virus from it , and then lie to my parents about where i got the virus from ,

the pleasure is in the porn

the guilt is in the lieing

and another guilty pleasure is enjoying watching really cheesy romantic films and really getting caught up in it

[battle_axe_of_doom]

that happened with me recently, the cheesy romantic film part that is :shiftyeyes:

[ConsoleCoWBoY]

The Pipettes kick ass. I listen to them and tell everyone I know to listen to them.

My guilty pleasure is the Spice Girls. Well, I don't even know if it is a guilty pleasure because no one should be afraid of what they listen to. If you like it great, screw everyone else.

SPICE GIRLS??? :eek: HAHAHAHAH!!! :p

Erm... my guilty pleasure is, erm, aqua. :( go ahead, laugh at me too.

:p

[tucsonovernite]

Frankie Valli and the Four seasons This dude was the king of breaking up w/ chicks in his songs yet somehow rationalizing it as doing them a favor...good stuff

Neil Diamond --Lets hear it for Crunchy Granola Suite!@

Billy Freakin Joel! It's still rock n roll to billy

[cmg4894]

SPICE GIRLS??? :eek: HAHAHAHAH!!! :p

Erm... my guilty pleasure is, erm, aqua. :( go ahead, laugh at me too.

:p

No laughing, STAND PROUD BARBIE GIRL

[Prescott523]

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

Excellent choice. Once of my favorite oldies. (Very oldies)

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Frankie Valli and the Four seasons This dude was the king of breaking up w/ chicks in his songs yet somehow rationalizing it as doing them a favor...good stuff

Neil Diamond --Lets hear it for Crunchy Granola Suite!@

Billy Freakin Joel! It's still rock n roll to billy

why should anyone be guilty of billy joel?? thats like saying you listen to 70s elton john and feel ******y about it. billy joel and early elton john = musical geniuses

[tucsonovernite]

why should anyone be guilty of billy joel?? thats like saying you listen to 70s elton john and feel ******y about it. billy joel and early elton john = musical geniuses

Hey that's cool you can come over anytime and we'll listen to "She's got a way" off of Song in the Attic together! ;)

[Bobalicious93]

Paul Potts :O :O :O (Not Really)

my real guilty pleasure is Calvin Harris (Dance Music)

[newwaytodie]

I thought I posted in here... Guess not, here goes..

Ummm, Enya, Loreena McKennit, Blackmore's Night,

I don't really consider it a "guilty" pleasure. They're all great musicians. I'm not embarrassed by any of my musical tastes.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

So what is it you are listening to when you don't want other people to know what you are listening to? Like you like to show yourself as the hardest mf'er on the planet but sometimes you just have to run a bath, pour yourself a glass of white wine and let the smooth sounds of Toto wash over you. You know what I am talking about.

Coldplay and Keane. Keane not so much.

Another guilty pleasure is Dido....

:(

[army_of_me]

Third Eye Blind.

I catch a lot of **** from my friends about that. Deservedly, perhaps.

[jq71586]

I think I'm going to have to go with Guster.

[OliverTwisted]

Come home in the middle of the night
My father says watch you gonna do with you life
Oh daddy dear you know your still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun

Yeah......

[Prescott523]

Third Eye Blind.

I catch a lot of **** from my friends about that. Deservedly, perhaps.

I love 3EB. They're one of my favorite bands. Just so damn catchy... I find nothing wrong with them, and you shouldn't either ;).

[MotleyPriest111]

Yeah.... On my 360 playlist (Currently have exactly 74 tracks), number 25 is A Total Eclipse Of The Heart. It's not a bad song.

[cmg4894]

Yeah.... On my 360 playlist (Currently have exactly 74 tracks), number 25 is A Total Eclipse Of The Heart. It's not a bad song.

If you check i-Tunes, there is a Tori Amos live version that is even better.

[Tomahawk214]

I can honestly say I have no guilty music pleasure. I do not like Country, Rap, or Emo/Death Metal and I have no exceptions.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

lol why did you put emo/death metal as if they are one and the same?? genuinely curious cuz thats how i read that

[IbanezBassist_v2]

fall out boy, i know........ im crazy

Don't worry man, you're not the only one.

[MotleyPriest111]

Eww Fallout Boy.

[CrazyIvan]

Hi.
My name is CrazyIvan, and I...
I....

I like the Black Eyed Peas.

[Kang_Zircon]

Hi.
My name is CrazyIvan, and I...
I....

I like the Black Eyed Peas.

I really liked Alanis Morisette's version of My Humps...

[CrazyIvan]

^^^^
I frickin' love that! Especially the video. Makes me laugh my ass off every time I see it.

[Simonious]

The Andrews Sisters.

[the_polite_force]

if u r guilty of listening to whatever it is you listen to you don't deserve to listen to it.

[xenopherus]

I'm not ashamed to say I like Air Supply, Debbie Gibbson, and Queen's album Hot Space.

[monlienNH3]

I MISS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA!!!

I'm normally pretty indie, but Toxic by Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani's solo work, Kylie Minogue, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor are all pretty embarassing. But boy do I love them.

User was banned for not being rock enough- HMX Admin 7-19-07 2:52 P.M.

I guess you'll have to ban me for not being rock enough too. Just add Christina Aguilera to the list. I even covered Toxic on acoustic guitar at the local Border's bookstore. Regina Spektor is awesome. There is no shame in loving her.

Self banned for not living up to HMX's rock standards. :)

[howsh_]

hellogoodbye
no doubt
K-ci & jojo (i don't know if anyone remembers "crazy" but that used to be the ish)

i actually really enjoy alot of band that would probably be considered "emo" on these forums (armor for sleep, brand new, chiodos, the used)

[Tybodsm]

I'm a pretty big Classic Rock and Hard Rock fan, but I can't help but love that German "99 luftballons" song by Nena.

[Prescott523]

I'm a pretty big Classic Rock and Hard Rock fan, but I can't help but love that German "99 luftballons" song by Nena.

Listen to "99 Red Balloons" by Goldfinger. I think it's the best cover of that song, seeing as there are... what... 40?

[Blue88]

This isn't very rock at all, but the Killers are one of my favorite bands. That doesn't justify putting When You Were Young in GHIII, though.

[cmg4894]

Listen to "99 Red Balloons" by Goldfinger. I think it's the best cover of that song, seeing as there are... what... 40?

Amazingly that is a great cover. MOST covers aren't as good as the originals but that one does.

[WingsOfSteel]

Oasis and Asia come to mind most readily.

Jimmy Eat World and Relient K, too. They're the only bands I listen to a lot that can be classified as current pop music.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

if u r guilty of listening to whatever it is you listen to you don't deserve to listen to it.

yes yes, you hate humanity, we understand already.

[beerman]

Mazzy Star

[cmg4894]

Mazzy Star is NOT a guilty pleasure. 'Fade In To You' is a great song.

[sushi111]

Hmm...

Ocassionally some Coldplay does it for me, but not often. Nirvana too (I admit I do kind of like them now)

[the_polite_force]

Mazzy Star is NOT a guilty pleasure. 'Fade In To You' is a great song.

for christ's sake nothing should be a ****ing guilty pleasure. if its a pleasure why must one feel guilty for it?? its not like you take in pleasure in murdering someone. its just music, be proud of wut u listen to. the fact that this thread exists pains my music lover's heart

[tucsonovernite]

blame society, dammit, not the individual, that we must that we must keep our secret shame to ourselves....threads like these are our (anonymous) means to speak that which should not be spoken aloud **cough* Neil Diamond **cough**

[thorn_9]

Eminem and Everlast...oh...early No Doubt too

[thorn_9]

blame society, dammit, not the individual, that we must that we must keep our secret shame to ourselves....threads like these are our (anonymous) means to speak that which should not be spoken aloud **cough* Neil Diamond **cough**

!! I will light a lighter in honor of your blunt honesty....that one took courage!

[Nitz13]

Vanessa Carlton dunno why, a friend sent me the song "A Thousand Miles" was hooked ever since

[gh2masterwellalmost]

if u r guilty of listening to whatever it is you listen to you don't deserve to listen to it.

Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. I want to hate them, but I love this song damnit

[Prescott523]

Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. I want to hate them, but I love this song damnit

The funny thing about that is that everyone that likes them hates that song ;)

[MartyMcFly]

Duran Duran and other 80's new wave :eek:

Meanwhile I mainly listen to hardcore punk, metalcore, and thrash metal.

[tucsonovernite]

Sweet Glenngary Glennross sp? quote Mcfly... ....You gotta have brass balls(pulls out brass balls, swingin') to sell real estate....

[MartyMcFly]

Sweet Glenngary Glennross sp? quote Mcfly... ....You gotta have brass balls(pulls out brass balls, swingin') to sell real estate....

I don't understand your post

[progROCKER]

Asia- heat of the moment

[tucsonovernite]

sorry McFly I should get my quotes straight I was thinking that sig was from the great scene in Glengary Glenross----Alec Baldwin comin' in to shake up the office..my bad

[MartyMcFly]

Oh ok lol

No it was actually said by Sean Connery in The Rock :)

[TheDude_01]

If I had to choose one, it would probably be Sunny Day Real Estate; admittedly I have not listened to alot of their catalog, I mostly just like the album How It Feels To Be Something On. Probably a close second would The Get-Up Kids; again I have not heard most of their work, only Something To Write Home About.

As far as Toto goes, if you can not get drunk (if that's your thing) and scream the words to Africa with a group of your friends, there may be something wrong with you. The same also holds true for Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has fessed up to Huey Lewis and The News yet, it should only be a matter of time now.

[MartyMcFly]

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has fessed up to Huey Lewis and The News yet, it should only be a matter of time now.

Oh I definitely listen to them! But I find no shame whatsoever :)

[FrshChees]

I must say, this is only the second time i've admitted i like the song It's My Life by Bon Jovi

i can't stand Bon Jovi though

[JudasHendrix]

I must say, this is only the second time i've admitted i like the song It's My Life by Bon Jovi

i can't stand Bon Jovi though

His remotely newer (and infinitely overplayed) stuff is garbage, in my opinion. Bon Jovi, waaaay back when he was still rock, had some pretty good songs though.

Runaway, Bad Medicine, Shot Through The Heart are all pretty good.

As an extra note, you know that song that starts off "Shot through the heart!/And you're to blame!"? That song is actually called "You Give Love A Bad Name". He had an earlier one called "Shot Through The Heart" which is actually awesome.

[Proto_Weltall]

My Chemical Romance and Green Day I love listening too but at leats 3/4 of my friends criticize me for listening to them.

[JudasHendrix]

Which is sad. There was a time, long ago, when Green Day was actually pretty good.

MCR though, I can't say I'm with you there.

[Prescott523]

Most people that aren't with MCR haven't listened to Bullets, their debut. It was so filled with rage and intensity you just couldn't help but love it. And yeah they're one of my guilty pleasures too.

[Proto_Weltall]

My Guiltiest pleasure has gotta be the fact that I listen to Jrock and the japanese pop artist Utada Hikaru. Im not neccasrilly ashamed but the looks I get from people when I throw on Asian Kung Fu Generation, Dir En Grey, Despairs Ray, and Sambomaster are rediculous they look at me like Im insane. That and I love MCR but MOST of my friends make fun of me left and right.

[Eissian]

Guano Apes.

[FrshChees]

hahahahahahaha i love this thread, its makin me laugh, but i think im laughin mostly cuz alotta the stuff said....i kinda like too...DISNEY MOVIE MUSIC ROCKS!

[GrenadeJumper]

Panic! At the Disco and Hawthorne Heights.... Phew..

[Scott87]

Dragonforce...

[FrshChees]

Panic! At the Disco and Hawthorne Heights.... Phew..


wow...ur brave

[cooldude93]

my guiltiest pleasures are the song sea side rendezvous and dont stop me now by Queen

[smokeverbs]

Most people seem to hate them these days, and critics Always hated them, but I love JOURNEY, any freaking time. I don't know anyone who would listen to, say Life After Death by Notorious Big, and then turn around and throw on Infinity by Journey ...

Also, and I'm probably really setting myself up here, but there is ONE track on Kenny G's Live album called "Esther" - that is f*ckin GORGEOUS!

[WiredRacing]

Yes! Snow! I love Snow. Hometown boy. Much respect!

Umm..
- Ace of Base - Blooming 18
- Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter
- Mary J. Blige - My Love
- Crystal Waters - Storyteller (LP)
- Vanilla Ice - Extremely Live (LP)
- TLC - Anything they put out.
- Shirley Bassey (Hey.. **** off, she's got an amazing voice) :)
- Yeah I'll even listen to some Sade if the mood is right

I dunno, I don't mind owning up to most of this.. but.. that said..

the worst..

wait for it...

wait for it..

waaaait for it..

- Justin Timberlake - My Love

BUT in my defense, I only have the one JT song.. so please don't beat me up and take my lunch money.

[MrBlueShirt]

ummm...yeah..... "Land Down Under" -Men at Work. Don't know what it is but everytime i hear that I sing along, and its probably on my top 10 song list of all time.

[Alphadown99]

...Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

Hey, check it out, it's Teh Jakester. We meet again. Guilty Pleasure:

I would do anything for love

and Journey

[Mournblade77]

I would have to say Seal for me. I think he man has an amazing voice.

[Zthe27th]

Panic! at the Disco damn them and their catchyness

[FastFreddie]

:mad: ,

I feel funny being in here, I have never been so into a video game in my life!!! I feel like a jerk though, I bought guitar hero III last week, and have fallen in love with it! So much so my girl friend is threatening to leave me!!! How ever I feel stupid now knowing that this will be even better then GH!!! Man even the web site blows the other one away!!! I even went out and bought a second multi pack to get another guitar! I hope rock band will have the separate guitars available, I do not want to have to fork down four hundred bucks to have both guitars!!! Man the guitar even looks much better! Wondering, looks like separate set of keys on bottom of neck, does anyone know? Oh and main question, does anyone know what albums will be released on rock band first, and if we will ever see great bands like Rage Against the Machine put out! Have to imagine the bass in some of there song would rock so hard!!! Well if anyone knows please let me know! Oh and always looking for friends on here so please keep in touch!!! Thank You Fastfreddie:mad:

[MdubMedia]

Panic At The Disco.

[ManOwaR]

ummm...yeah..... "Land Down Under" -Men at Work. Don't know what it is but everytime i hear that I sing along, and its probably on my top 10 song list of all time.

rofl - don't you hate songs that do that?!?

[foolosophy]

Liking the Limp Bizkit cover of Behind Blue Eyes (people will hate me for this I bet).

[Kriterian]

I have a wide range of taste in music and I'm not ashamed to admit it. For example take the "D" section of iPod list.

D.R.I.
Danzig
DMX
Dolly Parton
Dream Theater

[seafisch]

Blondie.

Blondie is not a guilty pleasure! :eek:

But Kelly Clarkson is... (hey, she's got a good voice - it's just buried under all that bubblegum pop songwriting)

[Nilsen31]

Shania Twain, Dixie Chicks...a few other country songs.

Some 80s pop...mostly the hits that were just really catchy...And I Rannnn, I ran so far awayyyyy...



Oh, and some 90s pop rock too...I guess, not really ashamed to be listening to Breakfast At Tiffany's or The Spin Doctors...though some are so I guess I'll post it

[Nilsen31]

S, S-S-S-S-S-S

A, A-A-A-A-A-A

F, F-F-F-F-F

E, E-E-E-E

Y, Y-Y,Y,Y


lol

[KillerIsMe]

Underoath...
My Chemical Romance...

[idiotec]

Leon Russell :o

[battle_axe_of_doom]

seriously why do people have to feel guilty about liking something..............

[Razer72]

Well for me also I have a huge lsitening list from pop to death Metal but my alltime band I can't get enough of is Pink Floyd. Man I can listen to them all the time. David Gilmour's Solo release On an Island is en excellent album to sit and relax to after a hard days work. Thats why I wish so much for some Pink Floyd to be in Rock Band...

[foolosophy]

I have a new one. Wanting "Hands Down" - Dashboard Confessional (The harder version) in the game. Beat that!

[HolyDiver]

Mine would have to be Soundgarden or Motley Crue.

[Jixzer]

My guilty pleasure? It's not really a pleasure, more of a situation. I listen primarily to country, so most of these bands that are mentioned throughout this forum, I've never heard of.

[KillerIsMe]

Mine would have to be Soundgarden or Motley Crue.

:eek: Why would Soundgarden be a guilty pleasure? Soundgarden rules!

[HolyDiver]

J/K!I LOVE Soundgarden!

[DrippingMadness]

Well, if this forum is anything like the Guitar Hero forum I was in, I'll likely get a major backlash for posting this but...

...I listen to a lot of My Chemical Romance, Angels and Airwaves, and I'm happy to hear that there is Fall Out Boy in RB.

[SlivedCupWinner]

Morrissey :eek:

I win the thread ;)

[sicgil]

:cool:Hell Yea!!! mine would Africa by TOTO or anything by Prince

[NfoRcErX360]

I'm not really embarassed by the music I listen to because I listen to everything from Godsmack to Papa Roach to Brad Paisley to Teddy Pendegrass to Boyz II Men to Flyleaf to practically whatever...

The one band I get the most strange looks for listening to still is Limp Bizkit... I rarely play them, but when I do... I get some bizarre looks :D

[stanley825bloom]

i would love to say here "i want to have this song" but safety dance would rock...glad to see timmy made it....but i cant play anymore due to my freaking guitar not working and o yeah dont forget the pos drum set...come on 180 dollars......north eastern penna btw

[Stryfe666]

My guilty pleasure.....Spice Girls. Got a little excited when I heard about the reunion tour...even saw the special edition dvd at the store the other day....the etrnal struggle: how do I buy it and have no one see me purchase it ;) hehe

[Wangsandsuch]

I'd say Fergie.

[topperharley]

I'd say Fergie.

A singer who pees herself on stage? That definitely qualifies as a guilty pleasure... :p

[starkukraine]

Bright Eyes are amazing...

[Parodygm]

*takes a deep breath and exhales* Erasure.

"Give a little respect... to-ooo-ooo-oooo me!" :D

[polishdog90]

CSS.. their songs are so damn catchy.

[Manda]

I think you have to be able to listen to other types of music to appreciate just how great the rock genre is. Therefore I listen to everything from Fergie, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani to Shania Twain, Kelly Clarkson, and Rihanna. =) My like for any other genre can't compete with my love for rock in all its forms! It's the only genre that's outlasted all others when my preferences are at war!

[Scarlet_Fire]

i listen to the grateful dead alot, and i just have to change the song to another dead song if i want to calm down. thats why i like the dead, hard at points and soft at others.

[imeistermandude]

Slipknot and Rage Against the Machine, thanks to the status quo. As for other forms of entertainment, this should suffice. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KTGr7bEXXik)

i listen to the grateful dead alot, and i just have to change the song to another dead song if i want to calm down. thats why i like the dead, hard at points and soft at others.

The Grateful Dead are most defidently not a guilty pleasure, more like a way of life. I don't understand why Neil Diamond is on alot of these posts either, he's a brilliant songwriter!

My guilty pleasures, Jay Farrar/Son Volt (Post-Trace), Phish... I've never even admitted to liking more than 1 song before..., The Wallflowers, Captain and Tennille, Dancing Queen, and I also LOVE Stevie Nicks solo!

[voodoo idol]

I don't have any guilty pleasures, my taste is flawless. :)

I'm with this guy. ^

[Clive_Winston]

Eurobeat.

If you've seen the Japanese version of Initial D or played the arcade games, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Has to be, without a doubt, the corniest music on the planet, but it's so addicting to listen too!

I also rock out pretty hard to Avril Lavigne's "Losing Grip". Somehow.

:D

[Ganon228]

mines probably smash mouth

[Prisoner_KSC2303]

Anybody hear of the Jpop group Lemons and Oranges? Or Round Table feat. NINO? They do the OP and ED for Azumanga Daioh and Chobits, respectively. I have those on my mp3 player.

[TobyD81]

I have to give it to Prince. I'm a huge fan of his and I think most others just aren't willing to admit it. That egotistical little b****** is a genius.

[FultonPub]

miley cyrus - see you again

damn song causes me to stop and listen to the whole thing whenever i come across it on XM. im embarassed.

[codemonkey27]

Freaky Friday OST. :eek:

[KingofQUEEN92]

Green Day alot of people hate them and alot of people love them but i love them!

[lpunderground19]

I mostly like to listen to adult-alternative (that's what they call it, I think) when I'm not feeling my modern rock/alternative stuff. Bands like Matchbox Twenty (one of my faves), The Fray, OneRepublic, Jack Johnson, even some of the older John Mayer. Also, Jimmy Buffet's another guilty pleasure, but I confessed my "love" for him in the official DLC thread.

I also like a lot of 80's pop music, stuff like The Fixx, The Go-Go's, Flock of Seagulls, The Cure, and U2's older stuff.

[TheCrimsonSaint]

My guilty pleasure is Kanye West. The man has soul, and it's refreshing to hear some hip-hop that isn't focused solely on ho's and *****es and money and etc.

[NX013]

Im not embaressed of any of the music I listen to, my guilty pleasures are:

Toto
Journey
Styx
Prince
Genesis (later era)
B-52s
Girls and boys by Blur
Foreigner
Killers
Live
New pornographers (never understood all the hate)
Asia
Peter Gabriel
Sweet
Tesla
Dokken

and X-Japan

Probably being caught headbanging to Dragonforce.

Or being caught listening to this song

Damn I saw Ted and thought it was about to play Wang Dang but the Damn Yankees work.

[medalofhonor]

I looked through every page of the thread hoping somebody else would say it first...but besides Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"...i'd go with

Good Charlotte.

Mostly the old stuff but some of the new stuff too...ok what the hell. I love all of it

[RagorA]

I suppose my Guilty Pleasure has to be J-pop songs, stuff you get from Naruto Intro's and the likes.

Although all up on the outside it die hard fan Metallica/Sabaton/Iron Maiden.

[Fatal_T]

So what is it you are listening to when you don't want other people to know what you are listening to? Like you like to show yourself as the hardest mf'er on the planet but sometimes you just have to run a bath, pour yourself a glass of white wine and let the smooth sounds of Toto wash over you. You know what I am talking about.

The Carpenters :D

[MronoC]

Well, I have no problem admitting that I like some musical theatre or that I love Heat of the Moment by Asia, but I'm always slightly embarassed to admit that I liked the album American Idiot or the song All the Small Things, there was also this one incredibly cheesey, awful metalcore band called The Storm that I was obsessed with last year for like two weeks.

[frostywolf]

Most people seem to hate them these days, and critics Always hated them, but I love JOURNEY, any freaking time. I don't know anyone who would listen to, say Life After Death by Notorious Big, and then turn around and throw on Infinity by Journey ...

Also, and I'm probably really setting myself up here, but there is ONE track on Kenny G's Live album called "Esther" - that is f*ckin GORGEOUS!

I'm not a big fan of them or anything but I definately enjoy rocking out to "Don't Stop Believing" and "Anyway You Want It" (not too familiar with other Journey songs though) and Life After Death is one of my favorite albums.

As for me, I'm pretty unashamed of what I listen to so I guess I don't have "guilty pleasures" since I'll profess my love for songs I like regardless of what people think.

Here's the stuff I get a lot of **** from my friends for listening to:

Limp Bizkit (strangely enough, my friends used to like them before it became cool to hate on them...)
Mr. Bungle (because "nobody else listens to them":rolleyes:)
The Notorious B.I.G. (not so much these days, but I used to get a lot of crap from this one)
The Beach Boys (Not too much, but I did have a near 2 hour argument with a friend of mine about how The Beach Boys are amazing so I think that counts for something).


Bands I like that I surprisingly don't get a lot of **** for listening to:

Madonna
Michael Jackson
Paramore (though I only actually like 2 songs by them)

[danactionforce]

the numa numa song.........don't hate me

[MoPking]

Any Sludge/Doom/ and especially Drone Metal. People just think i'm weird.

[MoPking]

I can honestly say I have no guilty music pleasure. I do not like Country, Rap, or Emo/Death Metal and I have no exceptions.

Death Metal shouldn't beclassified with Emo music ever. Totally different.

[DarkSide247]

My guiltiest pleasure would be listening to Nu Metal. :<

[Chief Stubbs]

Weezer. Don't ask why.

[Gatorguy91]

Linkin Park, Paramore.

[Fatal_T]

Paramore and all the cheesy music my parents listened to when I was growing up in the '70s. Like the Carpenters. And worse :D

[darthjudicar]

i don't have any "guilty pleasure" music. why should i conform to whatever someone else's musical tastes are just because they won't stop flaming my own.

[medalofhonor]

Have to go with "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley...that songs fraking CATCHY. Also, my favorite song (well mainly music video) at the moment is "Handlebars" by Flobots. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE rap for my own reasons, but this song and music video...are the one exception.

People just think im weird for those though...only embarassing or guilty pleasure for me is Good Charlotte...pretty much all their stuff too except maybe a bit off the newest album.

ATTENTION!
I'm wearing a flame resistant suit as of this moment, so dont waste your time =]

[David2380]

Chicago....love it

[Stewie]

Lionel Richie's hello

[David2380]

Lionel Richie's hello

That dude on AI actually did a pretty good rock version of that song
