What's your guilty pleasure music?

[Guest]

Not the music you like listening to all the time, I mean the stuff you have buried in folders on your computer, tucked under stacks of other vinyl, kept at the bottom of the cd stack, you get the picture. The stuff you don't let most people even know you are aware of. Stuff that you know ain't good but you listen to it anyway because you like it. Kinda.

Mine are Bon Jovi, Everlast, Peter Gabriel, and.. Creed.  

[Schuey2002]

Mine are Enya, Enigma, Sophie B. Hawkins, Loreena Mckennitt, Roxette, and Richard Marx, to name just a few..

I own *two* Ace of Base albums.

I am so ashamed.

[The Rabbi]

KC And The Sunshine Band, Barry Manilow, Captain And Tenile.

Nah, I'm kidding.

I suspect you're looking for someone who has a Vanilla Ice or Menudo CD that they still get down to in private.  I fail to satisfy such requirements.  I like pretty much all my stuff and I'm not ashamed to let people see my complete music collection.  I like everything from Atomic Bitchwax to Willie Nelson.  I've got lots of classical stuff, jazz, bluegrass, and yes, . . even Enya.

What was the worst CD I ever bought that I still have?  XTC-Skylarking.  This came out with some great reviews and Todd Rundgren produced it, so I figured I'd check it out.  It has one or two interesting songs, but for the most part I thought it was crap.  I kept it all this time so I can listen to it every couple of years and see if it still sounds like crap.  When it quits sounding like crap to me, I'll go see the doctor.

That Sluggy thing is pretty funny.  Right now, my MP3 player has on it the following:  AC/DC, Michael Bloomfield, Tool, Sheavy, Christopher Parkening, Kyuss, John Fahey, Van Halen (Fair Warning), Alabama Thunderpussy, Brain Police, Norman Blake, Raging Slab, and Bongzilla.

I'm generally criticized by friends for listening to stuff like Steely Dan, being 15. I like it though, so that's not really under this category.


As for guilty pleasure, I kinda like that one Journey song... that's really popular, but I don't think it's good quality music.

Ok, so maybe I've listened to Earth Wind and Fire... only a couple of times, I swear!. Uhm, forget I said that.

[Felonious Monk/Fignozzle]

At least one off of every list so far, plus the main ones that come to mind:
P.O.D. and the 77's.

P.O.D.'s 'Satellite' CD is great weightlifting music.
The 77's do a cover of LedZep's "Nobody's Fault" that puts the original to dirty shame.  Wouldn't believe it myself, and it feels like blasphemy to say so, but it's true.

I'm one of those people who can find something to like in practically every genre of music. I have some old Dr. Dre, Will Smith, some Euro Techno pop, blues, rock, etc. I've found songs in SKA, Celtic, jazz, classical, classic country, and some of the newer pop country.

Most of what I like was considered tops in its genre at one time or another, but some of the most notable I have hung onto were Sonny & Cher, Partridge Family, Spice Girls, and Manilow.

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen.

Redneck Blues, gotta love it.

Get better friends.

Seriously, listen to what you like. Most of what your friends or MTV say you should be liking will be in the discount bin at Wal-Mart by the end of the year.

My son turns 15 this week. When we get into the car he doesn't ask me to change the channel (usually on classic rock station), he asks me who that is singing. He likes some of my music, and he keeps me up on what the new stuff is.

[Chris]

Guilty pleasure? Nope, nothing to see here, move along, these are not the droids you want.

Music that I like and nobody else likes? Yeah I have a lot of that; Laurie Anderson, Tones On Tails, Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle, heavy industrial, anything like that. And not that kiddie punk softy stuff like NIN. I mean the real deal.

[S. Williamson]

*sigh* Let's see...

Since I'm pretty open about what I listen to, I'm not sure what would be classified as "guilty"...

Oh, wait.  I have the remake to "War" as done by Bone Thugs-in-Harmony, Henry Rollings, Flea, and others... :/

Hm... wow.  A lot of more obscure 80's stuff, like Del Rio's Song (BOC), a lot of Joe Satriani, Dream Theater (altho that's mainly 90s), Human League, Joy Division, etc.

If Azrael256 sees this thread, I'm sure he'll throw in a few more for me...

It is official - " I are old"

I have no idea who, what , whatever some of these people, groups, bands, or genres of music are.

Sigh...

I need some Allman Bros about now.  " Tied to the whipping post"  sounds appropriate .

[StopTheGrays]

I like various one hits from Ol' Dirty Bastard, Nullset and Meridith Brookes. And latino hiphop/dance. :/ Sad. I know.

[grislyatoms]

Depends on the mood I am in.

Violin concertos or 80's hair band rock, usually.

Last night, I listened to Strauss and Saxon.

"Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day"

Saxon, "Princess of the Night"
