Sorry if there's already been a thread like this.

Speaking strictly about music, what are some of your guilty pleasures? Don't pretend you don't have some - everyone likes some sort of music they know they shouldn't.

I like Blondie.

I have far too many...

Robbie Williams, Kiss, Shinedown, Invertigo, Snoop Dogg and Nine Inch Nails are the most embarrassing ones. Then there's Queensryche, which I should be guilty about, but I'm not.

for Me I guess it would be.... 60's & 70's Motown Soul R&B.

Stevie Wonder,Earth wind and Fire and the Commodores are my Favorites of that Genre.

I'm not really "guilty" of anything...or at least thats what i'll tell the judge...haha :D

I listen to a wide variety of music.

Michael Jackson
Earth wind and fire
60's and 70's soul and funk music

I guess the only thing i might be guilty about (but am not guilty about) is metal. blues players frown upon it...I dont. I'm talking about 80's metal! The GOOD stuff, not this new crap.

Well, wait...the only band I'm ashamed of is:
Bob to the Rescue

Just kidding :D
I am Comfortably Numb... :D

Oh yeah...STICK IT TO THE MAN!

I dunno, like Blues_Man, I'm don't really consider myself with guilty pleasures, but I do have somethings that really stand out of my regular listening material. Such things include...

Dresden Dolls
Enya
Enigma
ICP
REM
Scatman John

Of course I don't listen to these people nearly as much as other things, but when they pop up on my playlist I find it hard to not enjoy myself.

I always say I don't like 80's music, but when it comes down to it I do like listening to it.

I'll listen to Avril, Kelly Clarkson, and I even have one song on my computer by Ashlee Simpson. Sometimes you gotta look at the song instead of the singer. Although I do actually give credit to Avril, I don't mind listening to her at all.

Ahh hahaha. I seriously tried to rep you for that but i gotta spread it around, which seems odd, cause i don't recall ever giving you any.

Ok...I don't like all their songs, actually only a few.

Another thing to add...emo stuff. My American Heart is really good, and plays great live.

The Ghetto Boys. "Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster" fits into the move Office Space so well when Peter is dismantling everything. Yeah, Id have to say I enjoy listening to the Ghetto Boys. Tupac also has some very catchy songs.

I'm guilty of liking Coheed and Cambria and Showbread, but other than that, I don't set much in store by emo. There are just too many disposable corporate bands out there murdering it.
