I just can't help but like Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body." At least, up until that horrid beat-boxing. Oh, and T.I.'s "24s". Mainly because of the line "My niggas lookin' at me to see if my eyes open/Cuz I've been drinkin' and I've smokin'...." I so can relate.

Anything by Hall and Oates, though I've grown to be quite comfortable with it.

People that I encounter in life always want to put my love for Boston in the "guilty pleasures" category. I don't feel any guilt, though. Listen to their first album, then talk to me.

I'll 2nd that Hall and Oates... the hair bands I despised as a kid have all of a sudden become a closet listen for me... I think it all started with that damn Great White club burning...

Bryan Adams

his voice cuts like a knife right through my heart.......

Phil Collin's hits collection. With or without Genesis, it's just good fun. Other than that, I don't consider anything else I like a 'guilty' pleasure. Luda-man is a very innocent pleasure of mine...

I do not enjoy Foreigner one bit, but one of my fondest memories of past years involves me and my sister singing and doing dorky, interpretive dances to "Cold as Ice". It's a fun song.

... but it feels so right.

What a loser

it's actually my parents' song... don't ask, i don't know either...

My parents' song is "Three Times a Lady." Hmm...

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I L-O-V-E Air Supply! And I also like that "Come my lady, come come my lady" song from a few years back.

Oh man, how did I forget that one for the "worst song ever" thread!?!

Again, beaten to the punch. I hated that song and the Latin implosion.

"Parkin Lot" by The Left Rights. The rest of their "material" (and in effect Mindless Self Indulgence's material) kind of sucks but "Parkin Lot" is just amazing. 37 seconds of awesome incarnate.

ABBA songs are a completely innocent pleasure of mine...but a guilty one for many. I just can't feel that way because I love them so. Though I will say that Dancing Queen has been way overplayed.

Motley Crue's album "Shout at the Devil"

In its' entirety

no guilt.....

Just pleasure

Was that a "Latin" song? I thought the guy was like the 00's equivalent of Vanilla Ice or something. Shows what I know.

it's not Latin.....it's just Crazy Town.......

No, I was just saying that I hated that song AND the latin explosion.

ABBA is a guilty pleasure.
so is no doubt. but just their earlier stuff.
and im sorry, but gwen is SOO HOTT

But SOO FLATT. I'm sorry, but I am always amazed at how unendowed she is. Not that it makes her any less attractive. In fact, it's probably a good thing that a woman with no boobs is hailed as sexy today.

actually, i think its about time curvy girls were hailed as sexy.

And I thought Token was talking about Gwen's singing...

me too....No guilty pleasure for her...just plain bad

The other day I bought like 12 cd's at Grimey's...The guy is ringing me up...new Beulah, The Sleepy Jackson, Sufjan Stevens- typical Grimey's stuff...then he gets to the middle of the pile where he finds Justin Timberlake. I think he was offended that they even had it in the store. I couldn't help it...now that's a GUILTY PLEASURE, when you hope the guy ringing you up won't notice!
Air Supply and Journey....who would win? I can't choose.

Completely agree....also gotta love Tears for Fears....I don't know what the association is between the two in my mind, other than my mother listened to them.

It's probably the 80's-ness of the two.

I enjoy Tears for Fears with no guilt attached. However, I don't love them enough to buy an album, so the guilt is truly un-tested.

That Justin Timberlake record may be the only listenable "pop" record of the last few years. I don't think its anything to feel guilty about.

My guilty pleasure votes:

Carole King's Tapestry: man that's a great record I don't care what anyone says. I'll also add Carly Simon's "Anticipation" and "You're so Vain." Those are reeeaaallyy guilty ones.

Is there any reason to feel guilty about Jacko's "Billie Jean" or "Thriller"?

Counting Crows first two records.



p.s JC, Boston sucks.

the answer to that question is always "no"

When the armageddon comes, that song will burn in hell for eternity.

I have bad dreams about Carly Simon...Her great big teeth coming at me, chomping and chomping!!!! Her mouth is so huge!!!! Help me.....

very catchy indeed. at first i was hesitant to admit liking it, but i came to terms with it.


agreed. i can't go for that, private eyes, you make my dreams, maneater (which i've read was the biggest hit of 1983, my year of birth), & kiss on my list are all choice as far as i'm concerned. while i may not own any hall and oates, i do enjoy catching them the radio.


i whole heartedly agree. the first boston album was a staple in my developemental guitar playing days. pop it in, solo along with tom scholz...it's been such a long time...


don't you mean fee tines a mady?


i could go for some knowing me, knowing you right about now.


this concludes my addressing of every guilty pleasure. now i'll go back to my internet-less home.

On the corny side, I own albums by John Denver, Neil Diamond, and the Carpenters.

On the dude-rock side, I own albums by Linkin Park (just the first one), Korn (just the first one), Sugar Ray (just the first one), Marylin Manson (just the first two), and Pantera (just the first four).

I think a person born after the tragedy that was "Buckwheat has been shot" has no right to correct that. It's "Fee Tines a Naby" sheeesh.

Just ignore me, I'm feeling stupendously old now, you were but weeks old when Return of the Jedi came out. I'm gonna go hang myself in my Ewok Underoos.

Oh, and Neil Diamond Rawks.

Looks like Stopforme is going to have to change her signature.

no dude, if you wear them long enough the gorak will come and get you. no need to hang yourself...

I have always loved the Carpenters man. Karen Carpenter was the shit. Man, I even have the Christmas albums...d'oh..not supposed to reveal that.

I agree. They had some classic songs, and K. Carpenter's voice is one of the most beautiful that I've heard.

No need for guilt on either count, road.

No shame in those!!! I heart Phil!

I don't know..."just the first four" is kind of like saying,

"I sort of like Quiet Riot, but all I have of theirs is their first three albums, three posters, promo presskits, autographs, and one Japanese import."

It isn't that far of a jump, really.

Yeah, but at least I didn't mention the two t-shirts (depicting the covers of Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven), 4 or 5 concert ticket stubs from the mid-90s, and minor label cassette tape entitled "Power Metal" purchased from the father of Vinnie Paul and Diamond Darrell. I mean, hypothetically speaking...

Dimebag!

Are you correcting me? If I remember correctly, he went by Diamond, Dimebag, and Dime on albums 2, 3, and 4, respectively. I said Diamond, because I'm old school and their 2nd album is their best.

Correct on all counts, sir.
