I was in another thred this evening about music, and I realized that people tend to get overly worked up about music in general (yes, I do too)

anyway, I have a theory that everyone has at least one guilty pleasure, something that you listen to that is completely out of character, something that if your friends found out you listened to you would just die......


I have one..........

first though the rules

1 no making fun of anyone in my thred, or you will be reported to the mods (not that I have control over what they decide, in fact I probably would get in trouble for spamming the moderation forum, so I probably won't report you....)
2 be nice

3 be honest.


okay, so here goes mine................. Neil Diamond (http://www.neildiamondhomepage.com/).............yeah, crazy isn't it?


there are some people in the world who are true eclectics and just don't care what anyone thinks about who they listen to, but I know they are in the minority because the only one I have ever met is my husband.

So I don't expect to see any of the "I listen to everything" because you must have something you hide, and I don't expect to see very much "I only listen to [blank]" because for my theory to be correct almost everyone has a guilty pleasure............... and I don't like being wrong.:D

Sarah McLachlan. (http://www.sarahmclachlan.com/)

Ugh, the pain, the pain of making it public! *writhes a bit*

Ska. Mostly covers, where I think ska is at its best.

The closest thing that I have to a guilty pleasure in music is the fact that I listen to music if I like the lyrics, or the instrumentals, but I don't like both. When I like both, the music can be music I love, but more often is music that I find unoffensive and don't mind. Most of the stuff that I love is music with really bad lyrics, but the music is so, so good that I don't care.
I like a lot of the American dance music that they listen to in Spain, but as an English speaker, I can understand why it's not popular back home. The lyrics are quite often painfully bad. So I just ignore the lyrics, but people who hear my music quite often laugh. I also like good rock with bad lyrics... I love Goat Horn, for example, but I wish that the lead singer would just shut up.
I also like a few songs that have really bad music, but the lyrics are incredibly beautiful. The kind of songs that really should be poems rather than songs.

"Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm a girl... a girl who has everything!"

That song from the Little Mermaid and Tori Amos.

"Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm a girl... a girl who has everything!"

That song

"You want thingamabobs? I got twen'y! But who cares? No big deal! I want more!"

Grainne Ni Malley - mon semblable, mon frère! :fluffle:

Guilty pleasure?

Linkin Park.

CRAAAAWWWWLIIIIINNNNNNG IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIN THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL.

Linkin Park.

*remembers we're not allowed to poke fun*

*remembers we're not allowed to poke fun*
I was poking fun anyway.

Simple Plan is where it's at :p

Although I love all kinds of music, I really get hooked on a great Bass Guitar Solo or Drum Solo. Usually these are found in Jazz, but I listen to everything really.

Ancient Chinese music that makes little sense and has little melody to Western ears. I love the instrumentals from the Northern Provinces. But I hate Chinese opera.

Guilty pleasures accumulated in my CD/vinyl collection over some 36 years (in no particular order):

1) "I Robot" - The Alan Parsons Project

2) "Sky 2" - Sky

3) "Kings of the Wild Frontier" - Adam and the Ants (though this is apparently critically respectable again)

4) "All Saints" - All Saints

5) "Angels With Dirty Faces" - Sugababes

6) My wife's Kylie CD (but only for 'Can't Get you Out of My Head')

7) "Pronounced Leh'nerd Sky'nerd" [sic] - Lynyrd Skynyrd ("Play Freebird!")

8) "The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" - Rick Wakeman

And I have a compilation CD which I purchased just to get "Baby One More Time" without actually having to buy a full Britney Spears album.

I hasten to add that none of the above is in fact representative of my CD collection, which is otherwise full of impeccably cool and trendy music (and a large sub-section of classical, which isn't under discussion here).

Old school RnB

"You want thingamabobs? I got twen'y! But who cares? No big deal! I want more!"

Grainne Ni Malley - mon semblable, mon frère! :fluffle:

Je serais votre soeur.;)

Yay! I have a fellow Little Mermaid fan!

Rick Wakeman? I had totally forgotten about him (hmmm... own both Knights and Journey to the Center of the Earth in vinyl).

Guiltiest pleasure? *blush* Country and western. And not great C&W like Willie Nelson and Hank Williams and Patsy Cline (who could feel guilty about them?)... no, bad C&W like Garth Brooks.

"Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm a girl... a girl who has everything!"

That song from the Little Mermaid
I have every word of almost every Disney movie memorized, it was in rebellion to my parents who were boycotting Disney for most of my childhood, The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites, I can't get my girls on board with it though :(

It's like my 4 year old says "there is something surreal about a crab singing when the chef is trying to chop him up"

Rick Wakeman? I had totally forgotten about him (hmmm... own both Knights and Journey to the Center of the Earth in vinyl).

* checks record shelves *

I've got Country Airs, Six Wives Of Henry VIII and Rhapsodies on vinyl. Rhapsodies is an incredibly bad album. Do I feel shame in having it? Nope.

I'm not even going to travel through the vinyl. I might run on to old Strawbs or Small Faces or King Crimson or... *sigh*

My vinyl collection tally:

You wouldn't be interested in the Acker Bilk count.

King Crimson: 2


I have those too.

I have those too.

Earthbound (Live, 72) is a quality piece of kit. I wish the same could be said for Three Of A Perfect Pair (1984 {and it shows}).

I always liked in the Court of the Crimson King.

Gangsta Rap...yep, that's right pretty much my entire collection consists of Rap Albums from NWA to Eminem...

But then again..meh, it's still better than "Punk Rock"...and there's often socio-political commentary somewhere in there...*clutching to straws*

Tant mieux! Mes soeurs étaient toujours plus gentilles que ces frères que mes parents ne m'avaient jamais donnés. :)

I have seen it so many times, I can act out the dialogue in parallel with the characters. In Swedish only, though, so you can still be worse than me in English.

Gee, I have the exact opposite compulsion.

It'll be oooooooooooK

I always liked in the Court of the Crimson King.

So did I.

I really like the banjo, particularly in bluegrass music. I didn't realise it was something I should have been ashamed of, but lately my family has been giving me a lot of stick for it.

Me: "I love this bit, listen to the really cool banjo solo in this song" (turns up the volume).

My sister: "Banjo & cool, that's something I'd never expect to hear togther."

Family: "general mocking laughter"

Ugh.

William Shatner.

*small cringe*

Musical guilty pleasures? Ok, The Go-Go's and The Bangles. These are groups that I found annoying as a teenager and now it's just blissful and uncomplicated.

Ugh.

William Shatner.

*small cringe*

The Transformed Man? That's rated as one of, if not the, worst recordings ever made.

The Transformed Man? That's rated as one of, if not the, worst recordings ever made.Nope, I was avtually referring to "Has Been" , though I have the other as well. I know, I know.

Umm well uhhh *looks around nervously then makes sure face is in the shadows* I have a small thing for Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson songs.....*quickly slips away into the darkness*

Umm well uhhh *looks around nervously then makes sure face is in the shadows* I have a small thing for Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson songs.....*quickly slips away into the darkness*

I liked that one song Clarkson had . . . "Since you've been gone" or something. I find that virtually every song that I listen to on the radio is a guilty pleasure for me, but that is because the radio stations in my town are kind of lacking so even at the best of times I end up either listening to punk rock or old blues-rock. About the best I can hope for is that they suck in a way that is somewhat amusing. When I'm not in my car (and thus have musical options aside from the radio) I listen to jazz and feel no guilt.

I guess you could say I am one of those who doesn't care what people think of what music I listen to. I am a fan of Neil Diamond and Garth Brooks. I usually listen to Classic Rock but I like those two singers as well. They would be out of character.

I voted yes before I noticed it was guilty pleasures in music. I have plenty of cinematic and television guilty pleasures, but my taste in music is pretty flawless. :)

bon jovi.
for a metalhead, thats pretty embarassing ;)


also, i like drum n bass but i've hardly kept that as a guilty secret...

Bon Jovi in a "I'll sing it when drunk in a club somewhere" sort of way, or:
Bon Jovi in a "I listen to it in my room, with the lights off, rocking out in the dark" sort of way?

My pet shame is that I loved Kasabian when I saw them. Meh, though, I still think they are cool.

Uh… well, I kind of like Tatu… please don't make fun of me…:(

heh, both :p
slippery when wet is just a brilliant album! there, i said it :eek:

ooh though that reminds me of another guilty liking - Sum 41 i kinda like because they were awesomely heavy live and played a whole medlee of metallica covers :D


(Kasabian? :confused: )

edit:
Uh… well, I kind of like Tatu… please don't make fun of me…:(
tasty teenage lesbians? i don't blame you :D

I think I may start a movie guilty pleasures thred in a few days I have many, my husband and I are kinda movie freaks, so when I like something cheesy, it's kinda something that I like to keep secret.

I mean there are dumb movies that are good (Airplane) and then there are dumb movies that you feel bad for even watching much less laughing at ("Dude, where's my car?")

:p

tasty teenage lesbians? i don't blame you :D Liking the music is something that's probably more to be ashamed of.

Ew, lesbians. They blatantly fake it just for publicity as well.

I mean there are dumb movies that are good (Airplane) and then there are dumb movies that you feel bad for even watching much less laughing at ("Dude, where's my car?")
nothing wrong with liking them :P
(i'm gonna be all over that movie thread, but i feel no guilt damnit... crappy movies are good!)

I'm trying to think of something...but I'm really not embarrased at anything I listen to, whether it be Patsy Cline, cheesy pop 40 tunes, or Led Zep... I kind of grew out of caring if I 'seem cool' or not...about the same time I started wearing heavy, ugly winter jackets rather than look fashionable by freezing my fashionable ass off.

yeah, I had a hard time coming up with one too, most of what was uncool for me to listen to in highschool is kinda cool in my circle now (not that I care)

but, when people find out that thier 'punk goddess' (smunkee was originally derived from punky) listens to Neil Diamond and Simon and Garfunkel, they absolutely freak out. :eek:

(Kasabian? :confused: )
Hard to explain....

They're a popular band and quite indie. :(

Grease :)

My sister: "Banjo & cool, that's something I'd never expect to hear togther."

Family: "general mocking laughter"

Philistines. Do they react anymore favourably to clawhammer banjo rather than the three-finger style of bluegrass playing which has become fixed in the public consciousness with comedic values?

Grease :)
yeah, I was Sandy in my highschool's production, I cut off my hair and dyed it black to try for Rizzo, but I got stuck with Sandy because I was the only one who could carry a tune :( I had to wear a blonde wig :(


I still like it though (Grease)

Grease :)

West Side Story ost.

Do I feel shame? No.

Am I gay? No.

I have no musical guilty pleasures. Either I like something or I don't like it. I get made fun of for my taste in my music because I listen to practically anything ever made.

Everything from 50's to now. Disco to Death Metal. Sitar and banjo to steel drums and a syntheiser. It's just all mixed around in there. One second I could be listening to "How Deep Is Your Love" by The BeeGees then the next song is "Entrails Ripped From A Virgin's ****" by Cannibal Corpse. Infact, that happened yesterday afternoon. Music is like oxygen to me, as long as it's there I'm fine. If music is not present, I am in terrible mood and I function at about 1/8's capacity.

Edit: I really love music from musicals too. My favorite musical of all time and one of my favorite films of all time is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have all of the music scattered through on my collection.

West Side Story ost.

Do I feel shame? No.

Am I gay? No.
there is no reason to be ashamed of liking West Side Story (is there? if there is I really don't want to know, I have enough shame as it is)


"I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay.............."

yeah, I was Sandy in my highschool's production, I cut off my hair and dyed it black to try for Rizzo, but I got stuck with Sandy because I was the only one who could carry a tune :( I had to wear a blonde wig :(


I still like it though (Grease)
The first time I saw Grease was in Grade 9, and I was drunk and high. I thought it was a joke...you see, I'd been watching movies like "Surf Nazis Must Die" and I just assumed this was another form of camp. But it was dead serious, and it put me off for a while. Then I grew to love it, camp and all. But the surf nazis really must die.

have you seen acutal "Grease" or just movie version?

the actual one is far less campy and borders on pornographic (we accidentally got the broadway script instead of the "toned down movie one", it was shocking "Greased Lightening" is terrible.)

I seen the toned down movie version and the original version. I love them both but the movie version is my favorite because John Travolta is an amazing singer and dancer. By the way, I am straight and comfortable saying that.

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay.............."

Gee, Officer Krupke, Krup you!

Schlong did a relatively entertaining punk/hardcore/ska cover of the entire soundtrack.

as you should be, and if you added "and has a cute butt, and dreamy eyes, and I want to marry him and have his pretend babies" then you might have something to be uncomfortable about (or not, whatever);)

I enjoy some Duran Duran. I'm not proud of it.

I'm just waiting for the moment when some irate poster completely misconstrues why people in this thread are asserting their sexuality and flies off the handle...

I have no idea why, but I love that song "Mysterious Girl" by Peter Andre. Which is odd because it really is awful.

I'm just waiting for the moment when some irate poster completely misconstrues why people in this thread are asserting their sexuality and flies off the handle...
I don't see why those "stereo types" get passed around anyway, it makes life difficult for me, because people are always making comments about my husband

It's absolutely fine for a man to like musicals, it doesn't say anything about his sexuality at all.

I enjoy some Duran Duran. I'm not proud of it.

Nothing wrong with Duran Duran. In fact, I think it's time to pop some in the stereo. :D

as you should be, and if you added "and has a cute butt, and dreamy eyes, and I want to marry him and have his pretend babies" then you might have something to be uncomfortable about (or not, whatever);)

But his eyes are dreamy. You just fall away into them.

Bagpipes.

Nothing major... but sometimes I'm somewhat hypocritical. I like to think that I like the music I do (mostly progressive/power metal, classic rock, and classical) because it shows great talent in writing and playing songs, and because they made their music for music's sake, not just for money or fame. This is in opposition to the music I dislike (mainstream pop and rap), who I feel have very little talent and only have their undeserved popularity (and thus profits) going for them. The truth is, though, some of the music I like isn't very inspired, and I actually don't mind some mainstream pop and rap all that much. It's probably more about who can make a better (not necessarily complex) tune, and just the style of music itself.

But his eyes are dreamy. You just fall away into them.
and it's fine for you to think that, I don't have a problem with it (and yes his eyes are dreamy);)

Men Without Hats. Too many of their songs make me unreasonably happy. "Moonbeam" most of all.

I don't see why people automatically assume you are gay if you think someone of the same sex is attractive. They automatically assume that you mean in sexual sense.

Other sex symbols that I find "attractive": Prince and David Bowie

Ugh, eeuw. Your taste in men leaves a lot to be desired.

What wrong with Prince and David Bowie?

That you even need to ask that question is of concern.

Is it because they aren't the average man, who supposed to muscle bounded and look like a millionaire, and they are comfortable with their sexuality?

No, it's because they are very unattractive.

Sarah McLachlan. (http://www.sarahmclachlan.com/)

Ugh, the pain, the pain of making it public! *writhes a bit*

Ugh... I think I have to join that club...

And Kanye West also.

Bagpipes.

Seconded, but I never considered it a guilty pleasure. I guess I have to remember not everyone loves bagpipes.

I don't have any guilty music. I'll admit anything I listen to.

Queen

Seconded, but I never considered it a guilty pleasure. I guess I have to remember not everyone loves bagpipes.

Bagpipes are not a guilty pleasure. Who ever denies that bagpipes are amazing is most likely musically inept, a teeny bopper, and/or an idiot or all of the above. Wait... how redundant. They're just an idiot.

I agree, I didn't know that others liked them though, I thought it had something to do with my Scottish background


when played correctly I think that bagpipes are beautiful music

Uh… well, I kind of like Tatu… please don't make fun of me…:(
I have the same problem. I know on every conscious level that I should despise them with all of my being, and yet . . .
I really have no excuse except that it makes an interesting break in between Berlioz and Mozart.
My other guilty pleasure is Scarling. (<- Note, the period is part of the name, I think), which I mainly started listening to on the assumption that any group with that much of a hard-on for unnessecary punctuation and nonsensical lyrics couldn't be too bad.

50's rock.

I enjoy some Duran Duran. I'm not proud of it.

Yes! I was hoping someone else would have said it first. Let's hear it for Duran Duran. :)

I ... Mr. "Jazz is the culmination of all that is music and none shall ever top it" ... actually do enjoy some Britney Spears.

If anyone sigs that, I will haunt their dreams even after death.

Know that it has been been copied onto my hard drive, and as soon as I have a siggy again your shame will be plastered across all these hallowed corridors.
And I don't have any dreams since I started taking these pills that make the bad thoughts go away.

DAMN YOU, FIDDLEBOTTOMS!!!

(incidently, if you actually scream that, it sounds really, really cool.)

My guilty pleasure :eek: would have to be Audioslave CD's, don't know if anyone has heard of them.

My favourite line is "I am virus". You may think what the hell but I like it.

this may become quite the list. So I'll start by adding the ones I agree on.
Fass - Sarah McLachlan (I'm sorry...I just can't get her damn songs out of my head
Grainnie, Fass, Smunkee - Little Mermaid (um...pretty much anything disney. Yeah.:( ) (smunkee, you need to meet my friend. She is certafiably addicted.)
Zarathoft, Spartiala - Since U Been Gone [Kelly Clarkson](did you see the VMA performance?! sooooooooo hot.)

okay, now for my own.

Lil' John. Sorry, he just makes me laugh.
Angry Lesbian Music (a la Alanis Morissette and her much more bitter counterpart Ani Difranco).
and I may or may not admit to a little man crush on Johnny Depp (mostly from pirates appearance)

ahem.

Seconded, but I never considered it a guilty pleasure. I guess I have to remember not everyone loves bagpipes.

I love the bagpipes, very moving. Particularly in Belle & Sebastian's "Sleep The Clock Around" & AC/DC's "Long Way To The Top".

(It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll...)

Philistines. Do they react anymore favourably to clawhammer banjo rather than the three-finger style of bluegrass playing which has become fixed in the public consciousness with comedic values?

I won't pretend that I know the difference between clawhammer & three-finger style, but if you want to tell me, I'm open to learning.

Fass - Sarah McLachlan (I'm sorry...I just can't get her damn songs out of my head)
What's wrong with Sarah McLachlan? :'(

I like some really camp music that makes me laugh. Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out for a Hero, or The Weathergirls' It's Raining Men. I don't feel guilty about it, but I might be careful where I sang it kareoke, just in case certain unfriendly people got the wrong idea ;)

Cheesey 80s female sung anthemy songs suhc as:
Heaven is a place on Earth (no idea who sang that)
Moonlight shadow (may or may not be the actual title, its by Sarah Oldfield)
Stay with me (Shakespear sister, might not acutlaly be from the 80s...)

Of course my 3 "secret" Cds, are Kid rock, Eminem and Apollo 440 (actually not much of a secret i love thier stuff).

Cheesey 80s female sung anthemy songs suhc as:

Belinda Carlyle.

Former Go-Go.

I will admit to liking various songs from the following:

Gordon Lightfoot.
Tom Jones.
The Monkees
Marty Robbins.

Theres more, but thats all for now.

Grease :)
Rather than make fun of you or rail against that %$()^ musical (I played in the pit for a production of that in high school...dear god, do not play in high school pit orchestras. "I think you guys are playing the wrong note." "Really, you're sure it's us? Because, you know...we have buttons. Think it might be you, teenage singer with changing voice?") I'll just instead admit something probably worse-

Jesus Christ Superstar

Parents had it, I found it as a kid, thought it was funky-a friends religious parents said he couldn't listen to it which made it even cooler. Later when I admited it to a friend he had the same experience, another had it on Laserdisc. A cult suddenly formed. Every Easter and Christmas, all day long at the record store.

JCS is way better than Grease. Grease is shrivel up & die humiliating. What did you play in the school orchestra, or is that to shameful to reveal? I played flute.

Guilty pleasure?

Linkin Park.

CRAAAAWWWWLIIIIINNNNNNG IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIN THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL.

Yea, me too:D only, all me friends make fun of me because of it, and I keep sining the songs out loud :p

I actually wanted to play the flute, but my dad played flute and said I would get beat up if I did.

I played saxophone. I was even a music major (I got my AA in music, for all that an AA maters...this was before I changed my major based on the success of my plays, which of course led to me setting up C-stands and driving around crews and not writting a damn thing...well, so far...it's only been six months since finally graduating...)

Grease wasn't the end of my pit orchestra life. I also played in the pit for Cabaret...but we didn't set it up the way your supposed to (this was in college). See, in Cabaret there is two bands, one that is the full group that is in the pit and one all-girl band that is the 'house band' that is on stage. They where lucky to get one band, so we where on stage. I don't mind being on stage with my horn (I'd have been a piss poor music major if I did) but I despise acting (making me a piss poor theater grad student). And we had to act, or really react since we didn't have lines.

But this was while I was the resident playwright at the college, which meant that actresses liked messing with me, especially since they knew I was uncomfortable. Some of those songs actually let me cut loose and go to my happy place, though, so I survived.

Yea, me too:D only, all me friends make fun of me because of it, and I keep sining the songs out loud :p
lol me three :P
