Now we've all done it, found ourselves listening to and enjoying this which we really shouldn't.

This is a thread to promote the first stage of healing, when we can admit we have a problem and then we can address it.

Hi, my name is Chris, i found myself liking Britney Spears's Toxic and the other one she brought out a while ago..

<sobs>

[BOZG]

I&#39;m a sucker for cheesy pop songs in general. I work near a radio all day so they get embedded in my mind.

[rebelred]

when I&#39;m all alone or in the shower I find myself singing one of Stevie Wonder&#39;s songs.





I can&#39;t help it. -_-

[Funky Monk]

If it is the one where he does "hello, is it me you&#39;re looking for" dont be ashamed.

My guilty pleasures? Mclusky ("My love is bigger than your love, we take more drugs than a touring funk band, sing it&#33;") . . .

. . . and this is me, trying to justify knowing the the lyrics to "sk8r boi":

Avril Lavigne: Vanguard Of International Working-Class Revolution
By: AvRiLFaN4EvA

The success of Avril Lavigne represents certain objective facts, that, when analysed appropriately, reveal a crisis in global capitalism. While it might be tempting to dismiss Avril as a trend - another throw-away pop artist - she is, upon critical consideration, far more. Avril Lavigne, is, in fact, the vanguard of an international working-class revolution that will end in the destruction of commodity-society.
Avril represents the arrival of a new stage of capitalism - beyond "imperialism" - and beyond previous Marxist-Leninist understanding. Avril Lavigne is the a "Sk8er" and, as such, I would like to call this new phase of international post-industrial sk8er capitalism "absorption". Absorption is the incorporation of sk8er-grrl-revolutionary-praxis to capitalism. It is foreshadowed by the commodification of revolution, as embodied by hippie-sell-outs, major-label punk bands, etc. but differs from them in one key way. While prior revolutionary movements could be "detoothed" and turned into harmless commodities for public consumption (For the benefit of the ruling class) Avril Lavigne can not be turned into some sort of consumer product. She is inherently revolutionary. While "Che" and the other heros of South American revolts might be put on to t-shirts, and made into useless figureheads - part of a spectacular pseudo-revolution which we watch/buy but don&#39;t take part in - putting Avril into the free market is impossible. It is roughly equivalent to putting "Collectivization" or "radical democratic control of the economy" into capitalism; the nature of our tie-wearing protagonist is absolutely at odds with capitalism. Though there are certainly other, more important, indications, even a casual observer will note her hatred of preppies as expressed in songs like her first hit "Complicated." It is part of an important series of keys to understanding the nature of Avril and her socio-economic (And musical) implications.
As this conflict, this struggle, plays out across the body and psyche of this unsuspecting Napanee native, pulling and pushing, harder and faster as the objective conditions become more drastic, a point will be reached where Avril is forced, not by her own some monstrous act of will, but because of the facts of her environment to what Leon Trotsky would have referred to as permanent orgasm. From this point, she will, inevitably, lead the proletariat to glorious victory, and then proceed to crush its class enemies, ensuring a swift transition to global communism.
Workers of the world, unite behind eyeliner and live Greenday covers&#33;
Workers of the world, unite behind the new single, "My Happy Ending"&#33;
Workers of the world, unite behind Avril Lavige&#33;
The proletariat has nothing to lose but its dignity.

That&#39;s fucking briliant&#33; I love you.

My guilty pleasures are Jeff Beck
Blue Collar Man and Renegade by Styx
A few songs by Aerosmith like SOS, Trian Kept a-Rollin&#39;, and Movin&#39; Out
Queen
Radiohead
motown
The Moody Blues
Allman Brothers Band
and though I&#39;m supposed to hate punk, I love Television
...and Pere Ubu

[BOZG]

You fucking suck Victor. Your guilty pleasures are never actually guilty.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

okay
I have a soft spot for The Darkness and Jet
I kinda like Here I Go Again by Whitesnake.

I can&#39;t believe I just said that.

But I actually am quite guilty of Styx and Aerosmith.
And depending on who I&#39;m talking to, I&#39;m ashamed of the others I mentioned.

Well certainly not Television or Pere Ubu, no guilt necessary. (unless you are Victor).

But come on STYX, you can&#39;t get much guiltier than that unless you throw in Journey, REO Speedwagon, Survivor, or Loverboy.

stfu

I don&#39;t personally feel guilty for it, because I realize that it&#39;s genuinely great music, unlike Aerosmith and Styx.
But it certainly goes against my staunch anti-punk stance. Which I have to try to redeem myself from now. But I always liked new wave, so... fuck it.

And I don&#39;t really like Styx. Denis DeYoung is the worst man in the world of music, but those two songs are okay.

You only like whitesnake cos you want the hair they had

lol we&#39;ve all desired krazy hair in the past, said the weirdo with the double crown horn thing my head does.

[refuse_resist]

I find myself sometimes listening to Linkin Park and other bands that are similar to them some times. When they were first becoming well known I was also a pretty big fan of theres. :lol:

[Funky Monk]

Hey, don&#39;t mock Journey&#33; "Anyway you want it" is a fantastic song and has been played so often in my local club that many on the punters know the words now.



Think the worst has to be Avril so far, i mean have you heard her live cover of Chop Suey?

No Britney Spears is the worst mentioned so far by far followed by Styx.

[che's long lost daughter]

Dashboard Confessional :cringes:

Ok, you can all decapitate me now...but wait, I&#39;d have to add Crazy Town..yep, I listened to them when they were just beginning.

really??? Avril Lavigne did a cover of Chop Suey????

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

It&#39;s not like the original Chop Suey was any good to begin with.

[FatFreeMilk]

I listen to mainstream rap all the time. That&#39;s right, lil jon and the motherfuckin east side boys, big timers, kanye west, et al. Don&#39;t get me wrong, that doesn&#39;t include Eminem or Chingy; I have still have boundaries. I can&#39;t help it though, it&#39;s just so fun :D

[Hegemonicretribution]

Most of these guilty pleasures are reasonably respectable, I can&#39;t stop sing fucking Disney, and I know the entire score for a couple of musicals including Joseph. Restrict me now. Oh and I d have the odd Pantera C.D.

(places a plastic bag over head).......................I was stuck on sugar ray when they came out

[WarPigs4538]

I used to like Eminem when i was younger *bangs head against metal desk*

[Urban Rubble]

I still like Eminem, one of the greatest lyricists ever, hands down.

I just want to congratulate and thank Virgin Molotov Cocktail for that post. That was literally one of the funniest things I&#39;ve ever seen posted on this site.

Now let&#39;s see:

I find myself singing along to alot of shitty R&B on the radio, I listen to a talk show that&#39;s on the local hip hop R&b station, so I hear alot of it. That Alicia Keyes song is an example.

As a little kid I listened to Boyz 2 Men religiously. As well as 2 Live Crew, Wrex In Effect, Bel Biv Devoe and plenty of others.

I could name alot of country songs that I&#39;m ashamed of liking.

Ever since the breakup I&#39;ve been digging horrible emotional crap like Alakaline Trio.

I&#39;ll stop, I&#39;ve dug myself deep enough.

I used to really be into Pantera at one time. Actually, I was obsessed with them. :lol: Dimebag Darrell was one of my favorite guitarist for awhile. They actually are a pretty good band, but I think there are better ones out there.

[WhispersAtMidnight]

Josh Groban *blushes* And this coming from someone who normally listens to gothic/industrial music.

The Bee Gees and Uriah Heep.

Are you kidding ? You&#39;re saying it&#39;s shameful to listen to Eminem, one of the greatest MC&#39;s of all time, but you like Lil Jon ? The guy whose talent doesn&#39;t extend past a few select shouted words ?

Lil John makes pretty good beats, but beyond that I don&#39;t think he is anything fancy.

Nowadays, I don&#39;t know...maybe I like Elton John a bit.

[rebelred]

Point and Laugh&#33; Point and Laugh&#33;...............heheh kidding, it happens to the best of us....

Well I haven&#39;t dished out all of the bands and singers on this thread so I might as well just get on with it

OK first off....(flipping through cd book and cases):


linkin park- a couple years back there music was ok when they first started off..but now as I realized they just suck

incubus- god damn brandon boyd

Sade-....I only liked one song.

WAR- out of all these bands I listed, I still once and awhile listen to these guys ( they wrote the songs "why can&#39;t we be friends", "lowrider","cisco kid")

Bjork, afi, hoobastank, korn and zao

I&#39;m cleansed with good music now, so theres nothing to worry.....plus half of all those cds got stolen anyway

[DarkAngel]

Lets see, I like A LOT of crap....ahem

I like Eminem, DMX, Lil John (BIA BIA :P ), Mase, Destiny&#39;s Child, Ciara, Snop Dogg, Lloyed Banks (only because his sexy), Shyne, OK Im going to stop before I get kicked the fuck out...

ooo n Lil&#39; Kim n Foxy Brown

[DaCuBaN]

The proletariat has nothing to lose but its dignity.

Praise "Mother Avril", eh? I remember find that site some while back - absolute gold :)


Dido

People kept recommending this one to me; apparently it was "my kind" of music. I couldn&#39;t help but (and cliched now though) get pissed off at here complete and utter inability to pronounce the constonants in words.

I have but one admission to make, as far as I&#39;m concerned: I own a greenday album :o

[STI]

Our Lady Peace, "N 2gether Now" by Limp and Method Man, Jet, the themesong from "Friends" (kill me).

Vic, I hate to do this to you buddy, but please try and keep in mind that it&#39;s for your own good, I love you, and it&#39;s gonna hurt me more than it&#39;s gonna hurt you.


It&#39;s not like the original Chop Suey was any good to begin with.

Styx is worst than Journey?
Come on, now.

Come sail away with me and I&#39;ll throw you over the starboard bow.


The Beegee&#39;s early stuff from the 60s before they became disco trash was not bad, actually.

Yeah, and I used to like the Back Street Boys when they were underground and still cool.

From VMC:

If you think this is a good thing you&#39;re kinda missing the point. SOAD are meant to sound chaotic, what with the radical timing and key changes. They&#39;re actually quite innovative, which is more than I can say for that psuedo-punk, teenie boppin, cliched, Britney with a bad tailor, over-rated, manufactured, watered down tart you call Avril Lavigne.

Actually SOAD is not that bad. In fact, they have some good melodies, atmospheres, and various unexpected surprises, but the problem is that when they rock they sound like stupid nu-metal crap with those stupid distorted guitars that ruin it. I prefer them when they don&#39;t try to sound "loud" or "trashy", since the singer seems to be better at that than at screaming, and their guitars don&#39;t sound like shit. I&#39;m not saying that they are great, just that they are the best "nu metal" band.


I heard Avril Lavigne doing "Chop Suey&#33;" once actually, a long time ago on the radio. It was probably the worst thing I&#39;ve ever heard.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I agree that Come Sail Away sucks.
And Chop Suey is definitely a bad song.
And I doubt that you&#39;re familiar with the Beegees&#39; early work. Their career was not limited to 70s dance pop music, I&#39;m afraid.

Besides, this thread isn&#39;t to rip on peoples&#39; bad tastes. With same of the nu metal crap and mainstream rap being posted here, I could easily do the same, but I fear that this would intimidate people and discourage them from posting their guilty pleasures. =D

[praxis1966]

I was just fucking with you man. No big deal. ;)

Oh, and I really like SOAD. I never meant to say that they weren&#39;t melodic or whatever. But there&#39;s a reason why the song Chop Suey sounds like it does, hence, the name.

[Ziggy]

my guilty pleasures:

freezepop (i was told this was bad)
abba (my family is ashamed)
some journey
the song every rose has its thorns
a few sum 41 songs (pull out gun and shoot myself)
i own a prozzak cd, hotshow to be specific (oh sweet fancy moses on a pogostick whats wrong with me)
i love 80&#39;s pop
i like some disco

i&#39;ve just gotten into TISM, i dont think its guilty but others would say yes

Comrade, I didn&#39;t say that. At all&#33; Ick&#33;

Really, I rather enjoy System Of A Down, and understand the allure of chaotic/discordant/etc. music. My favorite band is CRASS, who, frankly, put System of A Down to shame in that department (e.g. "Smash The Mac").

Nah man, always found slipknot sucking.

There is this myth that rock is nothing more then randomly bashing on guitars and drums. This is very true for Slipknot.

Papa roach, Linkin Park and all this other "nu-metal" crap is .. crap. Could just as well listen to Britney.

Another guilty confession. That song toxins, toxic, something like that.
I actually liked a part. The part with the very high tones, kinda crying.

Cm&#39;n Victor, Aerosmith is a guilty confession?&#33; :blink: This clearly indicates that you&#39;re holding something back.

Bet you have every britney cd next to your nelly collection.

[Urban Rubble]

Cm&#39;n Victor, Aerosmith is a guilty confession?&#33;

Anything past their early stuff should definitely be shameful. Aerosmith sucks ass. Livin On the Edge ? Dude Looks Like a Lady ? Horrible. Fuck you Steven Tyler. Fuck all the hacks in that band.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Even a majority of their early stuff is pretty bad as well.
Aside from SOS, Train Kept a Rollin, and Moving Out, I pretty much abhor their entire catalogue.

I enjoy plenty of "chaotic/discordant" music, but SOAD is bad for other reasons. I just don&#39;t like the music. Pinpointing what exactly about it that I don&#39;t like is probably impossible and pointless, I believe.

Livin&#39; On A Prayer people, perfect song for drunken singing in pubs with terrible music.

A year to the day someone using Victor&#39;s account posted the following under the heading of "My Top Five Most Underrated Artists":

"I think that Aerosmith is under rated.
I know I&#39;ll probably get lynched for saying so, but i don&#39;t care.
Great songs like Train Kept a Rollin&#39;, SOS, Same Old Song and Dance, Walk this Way, and Dream On are all awesome in my opinions and they don&#39;t get enough credit for it."

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I guess I changed my mind.
Is that allowed?
:lol:

[rebelred]

have you guys ever heard of the band crossbreed?..

yeah its pretty sad. they look like Nsync gone hardcore... I&#39;m glad those days are over with.

[Funky Monk]

Just spent a day listening to the greatest hits of Ocean Colour Scene. Not hugely impressed with myself.


And i liked that Aerosmith song from the asteroid film with Bruce Willis.


Has anyone else seen Linkin Park live? They are the ultimate scally magnet, you should be ashamed to have been in their company.

I did a couple years ago and I am terribly ashamed ....I did it on behalf of a friend though...I got pissed off when they were coming on stage because they played Pink Floyd&#39;s another brick in the wall...the concert was horrible. That marked the spot where I stopped listening to shitty music and started hating LP for everything.

Well, I guess I had to disagree with celtopunk eventually.

You&#39;re out of your mind if you think Eminem is undertalented. There are very few men in Hip Hop who are, or were, on his level (lyrically). I can think of maybe 3 or 4. There are alot of rappers I like listening to more the Eminem, but for sheer lyrical genius, Eminem has little competition.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I don&#39;t like Eminem at all either. His lyrics may have some sort of poetic value, but the topics he raps about are extremely trite, juvenile, and offensive.

Give me some Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Roots, or Mos Def any day over this little ****.

His persona is also extremely contrived, not that it has anything to do with his music&#39;s quality or lack thereof.

[Hampton]

I&#39;m not to sure about this. Eminem, if you&#39;re talking about mcees in a historical sense, is not up on top, top 15 probally. I mean when I put on his new album I wanted to throw it against the wall, it is impossible to take the guy seriously with songs like &#39;Big Weenie&#39; and &#39;Ass Like That&#39;. Your fans wait for you to drop a decent album and the half end of the CD is juvenile stuff. That and considering what he did with the new Tupac album, I am not a fan.

We&#39;ll have to agree to disagree on this one. No need to get all JPF/PFJ if you know what I mean.

My point was we seem to agree much of the time no need get stuck on this one issue.

It was a Monty Python reference. Ever see the Life of Brian? If you haven&#39;t you should, that goes for all of you.

MC Hammer has to be the best rapper of all time....

His Gangsta rap was far superior.


celtopunk,
A lot of people wouldn&#39;t understand LoB, you need a more European sense of humour for it.

I don&#39;t think you need to have a European sense of humor, but perhaps a slightly more sophisticated sense of humor. Despite some of the musical tastes here I&#39;ll give the average Che-Lives member the benefit of the doubt. I know this isn&#39;t the movie forum but truly good humor works on many levels and you can be laughing at several things at the same time.

Anyway if you haven&#39;t seen Life of Brian check it out.

And now back to music...

My Yahoo radio station is back on line, if anybody wants to give it a listen, please let me know what you think.
