Guilty Pleasures.

Not A Duster

Well-known member
We all have our musical preferences. Mine however might be a little wider ranging than most, but still there is always that musical thing that we enjoy that maybe we think we are to "cool" to admit to......

I have a few - but first:

Meat Loaf.

Yeah yeah, I know - but fact is despite the cheeze, the guy can sing. And Jim Steiman knows how to write songs.

So.... Yours?
 
I'll join you in the Meat Loaf pan. :D

I'll also fess up to Blondie and The Go-Gos (first album only). Actually, I find it humorous that I have more CDs that turned out to be massive disappointments to me (or didn't want in the first place--think Green Day here) than I have guilty pleasures. :doh:
 
Hmmm, trying to think... I like country, that count? :D A lot of country, going back to the '50's.

Metallica? That's one I usually don't admit to.



Oh, I like Meatloaf too
 
Green Day is a joke. Matter of fact most of these so-called modern "punk" bands are...

'cept for Social Distortion. Nodda looovvvees Social Distortion. Not the slightest bit of guilt there.

Anyone else? C'mon....who has the entire Pussy Cat Dolls discography? :D
 
My ex-wife threw the Green Day CD in a box of my stuff when we were parting ways. I've given it away five times, and it keeps coming back. :D I like Social Distortion as well, my only other concession to "punk" being Zebrahead's "Playmate of the Year" album... it's not technically excellent or anything, but you can tell they're really having fun.

I forgot one, probably because I don't have any of his music, but I like Neil Diamond too.

Yeah - I think I only have the "greatest hits" but yeah. Great songwriter - he has written plenty of hits for others and some pretty good of his stuff has popped up over the years. Deep Purple did a really cool cover of Kentucky Woman in the late '60s.

Being a fan of much folk music from bluegrass to folk/pop like these guys, I see no guilt in this at all.

There is no cheese here....

Matter of fact I think these guys are a good example of an artist who gains popularity despite not fitting into one of the standard marketing molds. And that's a good thing, gives me hope that there might be a future for music.
 
my range is WIDE..it stops at twangy whiny twangy country and again at slow ochestra/opra stuff...the more upbeat of the 2 i actualy mildly like

what to get my ears perked up..a good propper tune on bagpipes or a violin/fiddle...my last run up to bc i was walkin the ferry as useual and tehre was an older gent on the back playing and i just stoped dead in my tracks for a bit .....walked a few more laps and i come back and he is playing stuff youd expect to be coming out of an irish pub..i sat down and was happy all was right in the world.....and he looked the part too...i got off the ferry and down the road on the square at the corner was an otehr guy playing bagpipes to the same style that sounded like it shoulda been coming from a pub..and all i can think of is why arnt these guys together


as for mainstream stuff...im a sucker latley for the deep underground death metal..the stuff you cant easily find as well as stuff like deadmou5e and the other hard core electro stuff...oh...and the prohabition swing stuff n jazz
 
Being from Cape Breton, fiddle and piano tunes gets my toes a-tapping every time. Not so much the newer Barra MacNeil/Ashley MacIssac stuff, but the more homesy kitchen party kind of music. John Morris Rankin & Howie MacDonald, Carl MacKenzie, Buddy McMaster...

Bagpipes are a given.

Being my father's son, Big Bands and crooners take up a lot of space on my Ipod, as well as old country. Think Sons of the Pioneers, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, etc...

My cousin Norma MacDonald... great voice. :)

Doesn't everyone like Meat Loaf?

Even the Olde Phart. [smilie=:: That fat boy can [B]​sing.[/B]

I pretty much enjoy most music, except rap, most metal and big band. I grew up in the 50's & 60's, so that style is a givin'. Most of the acid from the 70's didn't appeal to much, but I like the 80's "punk".

I don't care for the whiny country but most others is good stuff, even the "new"country that my kids listen to. And who can't like a good yodel.

Probably at the top of my list would be any artist with a wide vocal range, the first 2 that come to mind are Roy Orbison and Jay Black of Jay & The Americans.
 
I like old rock, new rock, hard rock soft rock, punk rock, prog rock, some rap, blues, and classical piano.


My guilty pleasure is Avril Lavigne. :shifty:
 
I'm not sure how guilty I feel about my musical tastes (which I believe to be pretty broad) but I think some of the ones that might make people question, are Phil Collins/Collins era Genesis, Cindy Lauper, Bjork has some decent stuff and I enjoy some dancey stuff too on occasion problem with the dance/club stuff is I never know what the tunes are called.
 
I guess most of my guilty pleasures are individual pieces, rather than a band or act. I will admit to breaking out The Nutcracker by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops at odd times of the year; classical music is very hit-and-miss with me overall though.
 
Yeah, I kinda like Adele and a bit of Avril.

I really have to be in the mood for the twangy country, but I do listen to a little of it, same with bluegrass. Brian Setzer is another, but I have to be in the mood.

Mid to late 80's I was into a lot of rap, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and the other N.Y. rappers. I also liked NWA and associated rappers. In the mid 90's I got into the Wu-Tang clan and Notorious B.I.G., when he got killed I stopped, his cd was the last one I bought. Now I listen to it once in a while.

I like a good bit of the top 40's from the late 70's up to the mid late 80's.
 
I too have a pretty broad musical taste. Metal is my favorite...and the heavier the better. Recently started getting into bands such as Thy Art is Murder....Mmmmm good stuff. [smilie=d:

But I have to say I do love me some Abba, and Ace of Base, and some Boney M. Another one that people really have never heard of, and I LOVE, is Enigma....look it up and listen...it's like melodic munk chanting with french and all kinds of stuff going on.
