Guilty Pleasures

[Nwoye]

everyone has bands/songs that they love yet get made fun of for loving. subsequently they usually keep it on the down low that they have aqua's entire discography in vinyl, or that they've seen nickelback live, or whatever. This thread is for those really cheesy or poppy songs that you absolutely love yet are slightly afraid to admit to loving.

first off, MICHAEL JACKSON IS AWESOME

Bowie
Oi! that's not a guilty pleasure, Bowie's a god!

I like old bubblegum pop, like 70s/60s stuff like the Bay City Rollers, not the softy ballads they did but songs like Keep On Dancing, Shang-A-Lang and Saturday Night.

Other bubblegum bands like Tommy James & The Shondells, 1910 Fruitgum Company and Ohio Express are great too.

Another guilty (although not that guilty) pleasure is Phil Spector pop.
I love The Crystals, The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las.

I'm not a Donna Summer fan but I Feel Love and other Gorgio Moroder produced music by her is just so hypnotic.

I used to be ashamed that I like Sara Bareilles/ and other "girly" artist, but fuck the manly man bullshit.

This song is solid soul, no shame there.

Sometimes I'm embarrassed I listen to so much PJ Harvey.

I have no guilty pleasures, my taste in music is just horrible. If I had to be embarassed about everything I liked that was generally regarded as trash, unartistic or just plain shite I would have to go through life justifying myself to everyone. The absolute best example of something most would list as a guilty pleasure but to me is just a pleasure I give you:

J-pop. It's quite possibly the most embarrasing taste in music you can admit to having.

First off, the OP to Di Gi Charat:

The OP to K-ON!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ0CiGsrPxs

Less embarrassing, J-Rock! Song from the Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSNDRgs4KCc

And now, for some REALLY cutsey Jpop, the Card Captor Sakura theme! (to which I know the words!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFhtqtN7lp0

And, finally, something not from Japan, some really cute Russian girls singing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6QQNavxuUg

I know. I'm a softie.

EDIT: Oh God, how could I forget? NIGHTCORE!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBzdJJRgRMg

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, and I'm not ashamed, even though people be hatin on both my music taste and enjoyment of anime. I'm hugs, damnit, and I'm gonna listen to what I like :P

Come on, The Beach Boys are great! There should be no guilt.

I must say I have no guilt about the music I listen to, I just mention the music I did because it's uncharacteristic of me to listen to it.

I have to add to my list that I like some novelty music.
Tiny Tim, Napoleon XIV and Boris Pickett.

I'll defend my love for Tiny Tim with my life, he's fantastic.

It's common knowledge that Bowie went through a 'nazi phase'. To me that makes him a guilty pleasure.

During the 'ashes to ashes' era i believe it was.

He said some weird comments in his thin white duke peroid.
Ironically the peroid in which is he was doing soul music.

[Sam_b]

My guilty pleasure is songs from Eurovision. Yes really.

And here are some anime theme songs that are a little less soft, from a pretty Epic anime. Do listen; you may just enjoy it :)

Mainstream? :confused:Maybe where you live, but not here in the States. If the Scissor Sisters is main stream where you live, then I envy you. Mainstream music here is crap.

This is why I get so fed up wioth people who have hang ups about how "mainstream" bands and artists are. It's all so relative. People who have a big elitist stick upo their arse about "mainstream" music are just pretentious idiots.

Anyone here like Rolf Harris?

[Stranger Than Paradise]

Is it just me or does your Rocker avatar bear somewhat of a resemblance to the great man. And for my guilty pleasure, do you know Huey Lewis and the News?

[fatpanda]

I thought Gwar were super cool and funny when I was in high school.

Now that I'm a few years older...I realize how wrong I was.

This song continues to be a staple on my playlists for some reason. Force of habit, I guess.
