p&b is a disgrace Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I don't know if this has been done before. I looked down a few pages in the Music forum and couldn't see anything, so if it has already been done - just consider this to be a "BUMP". We all have artists that we know we shouldn't like - but something gets short circuited in our brain and before we know where we are we end up liking some complete dross. So here goes........... I'm ashamed to say that I bought Jamiroquai's greatest hits today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I don't like calling them "guilty pleasures". I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like. I don't feel guilty for liking something. To keep the idea of the thread going, though, I don't mind quite a lot of the pop stuff going on. Ellie Goulding, Pixie Lott, etc. Granted, their attractiveness may make me want to watch the videos more, but they have quite a lot of good songs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I stil listen to Pearl Jam now and then. A band that are awesome don't count as a guilty pleasure. I don't really have any, mostly because I don't stray too far from metal/grunge/punk. Sometimes listen to rap but it's stuff like cypress hill, public enemy or house of pain which I would never class as guilty pleasure music 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New album is worth a listen but the first two are the best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptiesbaw Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hate the term "guilty pleasures" as it always reminds me of the nations sweetheart, Cheryl Cole as she repeated it constantly on X Factor. I hate that boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The likes of Pearl Jam and Jamiroquai I wouldn't count as a guilty pleasure. Both artists were very popular at points in their lifetime and if your latest girlfriend was rummaging through your ipod and found them you wouldn't be embarrassed about having them in your collection. For me a guilty pleasure is something that you would cringe if your friends etc caught you playing. For me mine is Kylie. Not quite ready to embrace my pop side yet! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie isn't a guilty pleasure - I've been to see her. She was class. Just goes to show that one mans guilty pleasure......................

Davis Love III Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Not sure if it counts as a real 'guilty' pleasure, but I've always been a big admirer of the late Robert Palmer, a very talented and versatile artist who almost unfortunately is remembered just for his MTV style material from the mid 80s (Addicted to Love), but there was an awful lot of substance to Palmer's early and later work. Very good underrated artist. Edited January 15, 2011 by Davis Love III 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've always thought Alphaville's Big In Japan is a class tune. It's not remotely cool, I'll grant you that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, I don't have any 'guilty pleasures' because I don't feel guilty about liking any of the music I like, whether it be pop-punk, metal, post-hardcore, pop etc. I've taken pelters from my mates for having Miley Cyrus songs on my iPod, but I love Party in the USA because it's such a good feelgood song! I really like some of Lady Gaga's and Katy Perry's material too. There are only a few artists/singers I like in the general category of dance/pop, and I would say I'm mostly into post-hardcore/metalcore and pop-punk, but I would say there's no point in being closed-minded as music can be good and enjoyable no matter what genre it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
