What's your musical "guilty pleasure"?

[Brenda Starrr]

I know we did something like this on the old board, but after watching an old Poison video, I just have to ask:

Do you have a song or band that you secretly adore? Divulge your guilty secrets. I'm sure there are quite a few!

[phee]

ICP

[LuluVox]

Sade. Eminem. Tori Amos. Jeff Buckley.

[Brenda Starrr]

Me too, lulu!!

[LuluVox]

Hehe, good, we can be each other's support group.

Oh, and Skid Row. Not sure if you can follow me on that one.

[Head Wreck]

there is nothing to be guilty about:

poison, skid row, motley crue, europe, etc.

hmmph.

i do listen to the odd country song, thats my only guilty pleasure musically

[gothicmom]

I haven't done this in a long time, but i would listen to the Old People radio station. *hides face in shame*

They play rally old stuff like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole (my fav!) also some Elvis a few bad &0's soft stuff.

i'm so embarrassed! It's relaxing

I also like Patsy Cline

[Fierce Critter]

I'm so open about the things I listen to and sing, I'm beyond considering any of it "guilty".

So, the more "ecclectic" things I listen to are:

Standards including Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing, Frank & the whole lot;

Jazz including Coltrane, Davis, Brubeck, etc.

Harry Connick Jr.

Broadway music

Been listening to Nick Drake since before he ended up on television commercials

I'm a 70's rock fan, especially Heart, Cheap Trick & Journey

I like a heavy dose of movie soundtrack & theme songs, particularly stuff by Randy Newman

The Moog-generated Baroque Hoedown, theme to the Disney Light parade.

Everything 80's

Split Enz and related people & groups, especially Tim & Neil Finn and Crowded House

Polka & other Polish music

When I need to sleep, Muzak

(The last two especially remind me of my mother, coming home from school and hearing both types of music playing on the stereo)

The only form of "musical guilt" I feel I legitimately suffer is that my preferred style of dress is more punk than goth, and I've never been into punk music at all, besides owning one Sex Pistols & one Clash album. I WAS into new wave, both the look AND the music in the 80's, but never punk.

[Brenda Starrr]

lulu.....Sebastian Bach is hot as shit! When I come to MI, we'll have to rock out on that one!

HW....some people are embarrassed to admit that they love these bands. I, however, am not! "The Final Countdown" fucking rules.

FC....I will belt out an 80's Heart tune ANY DAY! And I looooove Cheap Trick. My kids got to meet them, and brought me a few guitar pics from them. Robin Zander is simply yummy. Sigh.......

[Fierce Critter]

I got my first (and only) Rick Neilsen pick a couple years ago down here, of all places. They were playing this barbecue fest (oh, how the mighty do fall), and one landed on the pavement in front of me. Had to fight with this chick who just about smashed my fingers with her shoe trying to get it away from me - but in the end, it's mine, scratches and all. I took great pictures, but have yet to get them developed.

[Brenda Starrr]

OMG........when you get them done, please share!

[Fierce Critter]

Heh. Considering I've had maybe 2 rolls of film developed in 6 years of marriage, that won't happen anytime soon.

OT: I need to find a decent place to get mine developed - I don't trust places like Wal-Mart, and we moved away from the only place I did trust, Adray Appliance & photo in Allen Park.

Back on topic: Rick noticed me with the camera and posed for me. I'm sure what I got is great, just won't know for sure anytime soon...

[Shade Everdark]

Let's see...

Peter Schilling, and

The Greatest American Hero theme

But everyone already knows about them, so I'm not sure it's really a guilty pleasure....

[Fierce Critter]

I can't make up my mind whether I prefer the German or English version of "Major Tom". :

And I betcha I can sing every line of that theme right now... it was bopping around in my head a little while ago, and I couldn't figure out why. :laughing:

[JaneDead]

hmmm no guilty pleasures here. i like much of what is mentioned here as well.

love the greatest american hero theme song.

rather than "guilty pleasures" i have stuff i like that is not normal for me to like. like the brittney spears song toxic. i don't like her music at all. don't care much for her in general. not that i "dislike" her, i don't know her. but i am not a fan. but i like this song and that is odd for me.

[Fierce Critter]

Heh. I like that song, too.

[Black Sunday]

blink 182, erasure, good charlotte, pet shop boys, snoop dogg.

please don't tell anyone.

[Brenda Starrr]

Oh yes! Erasure, Snoop Dogg, and the Pet Shop Boys!!

[gothicmom]

George Michael

old Madonna

[Brenda Starrr]

Madonna IS old! But I like her anyway.

[phee]

Why feel guilty about your pleasures.

[Brenda Starrr]

Some peeps just do....

[Jarodaka]

[Guest Game of Chance]
