Guilty Pleasures?

[Shellhead]

Name at least one song that you enjoy even though you are very ashamed that you enjoy. A song that stands in stark opposition to everything that defines your taste in music. A song that you can't even defend.

For me, it would be "Notorious" by Duran Duran.

[Patrick Ferguson]

"Livin' On a Prayer."

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Well I like Creed so shoot me.



But I do get a guilty pleasure out of listening to 4 Non Blondes: " Hey Whats Goin On ?" and Vanilla Ice's " Ice , Ice Baby ".

[DDM]

"Waterloo" by ABBA

[Motormouse]

To my ultimate shame. "Ten out of Ten" - Bros :eek:

[DDM]

"Xanadu," "Twist of Fate" by Olivia Newton-John

[Faded]

"Come Clean" by Hilary Duff.

*eek*

[Core]

I'm not ashamed of anything I genuinely enjoy. There is music I like that some might think I should be ashamed of liking, but I'm comfortable enough with my own tastes not to care what other people think.

[Grant]

Heart "These Dreams"

[Spike-X]

There's two current songs I really "shouldn't" like, but I just can't help myself!

Push The Button by Sugababes, and Shine by Shannon Noll (inaugural Australian Idol runner-up).

[howyadoin]

"Livin' On a Prayer."I'm not big on guilt, but that one comes close.

[twilight]

All of Gwen Stefani's solo stuff.

[Spike-X]

Oh, and TATU are another guilty pleasure.

But not for musical reasons.

[jessecuster]

I am not ashamed to like them, but I always find 1 or 2 true radio pop songs that I listen to way more times than I should.

Currently I am hooked on:
Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone - I don't care what anyone else thinks, this song flat out ROCKS !

Kanye West's GoldDigger - Its turned into a joke at the office that we listen to this song every morning, it just drilled its way into my brain.

and lastly, The Black Eyed Peas' My Humps - As stupid as this song is, I am hooked, I think it is the way she sings that "make you scream" part of the song that I like so much.

[Slam_Bradley]

Heart "These Dreams"

I'm with you on this one. 99% of the crap I listened to in high school make me shudder. But I still have a soft spot for this one.

[howyadoin]

I still have a soft spot for this one.Odd. The video used to cause the opposite effect for me.

[Xiroteus]

Edit...................

[DDM]

"Who Will You Run To?" by Heart

[Erik Lehnsherr]

I like the last 4 Kelly Clarkson singles and Avrils' "Nobody's Home" is pretty good.

[twilight]

I like the last 4 Kelly Clarkson singles and Avrils' "Nobody's Home" is pretty good.

Rhyming home with home....GENIUS!!

[Phrozen]

*hangs head in shame*

Africa by Toto

[Faded]

I like the last 4 Kelly Clarkson singles and Avrils' "Nobody's Home" is pretty good.

Same here. Also Avril's "I'm With You".

I also enjoyed the entirety of the Spice Girls' first album and some of their second.

And I second the "My Humps". I roll up the windows when it bumps in my car. I kinda don't like it, but I think its catchiness has entangled me.

[Patient Boy]

Push The Button by Sugababes,

The video for this one makes me think bad, bad things.

[LiNo]

There's two current songs I really "shouldn't" like, but I just can't help myself!

Push The Button by Sugababes, and Shine by Shannon Noll (inaugural Australian Idol runner-up).

I like both of those as well... shame on us both.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Rhyming home with home....GENIUS!!

The geniuse of Avril Lavigne is mucho impressive.

[Jonathan Bogart]

Name at least one song that you enjoy even though you are very ashamed that you enjoy. A song that stands in stark opposition to everything that defines your taste in music. A song that you can't even defend.
I don't think I have a musical taste that I can commit offenses against. One of the perks of being broad-minded enough to enjoy everything except the things I hate, which by definition I don't enjoy.

Oh, no, wait. Thought of one. Wet Wet Wet's cover of "Love Is All Around." A piece of treacly early-90's crap, the only good thing about which is that it introduced me to the Troggs beyond "Wild Thing." I still have a soft spot for it, though.

[Zissou]

Okay, let's be honest. We all have music that we aren't proud of, and maybe hide from the prying eye of friends. What's your dark secret? What do you listen to when nobody's around?

Well come on...

[PunkMC]

Just to get the ball rolling.. and since I'm still sorta new :) My Guilty Pleasure is Madonna, but only certain stuff, more the Bedtime Stories stuff where she tripped out and wasn't all that poppy. Other than that I can't think of too much in my collection I would hide from prying eyes. Heck even that I wouldn't hide, but would come up with some excuse why it's there hehe.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Katrina and the Waves-Walking On Sunshine. I don't know why?

80s Hair Bands...from Poison to Quiet Riot.

[Adam Crocker]

Katrina and the Waves-Walking On Sunshine. I don't know why?

Because it's a very enjoyable, nicely done piece of fluff that deservedly lodges itself in your brain.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Because it's a very enjoyable, nicely done piece of fluff that deservedly lodges itself in your brain.

What's scary is, I'll be walking along and then BOOM! I have the song lilting through my head. Yes, it is enjoyable fluff, but I'm not really a big fan of the song, yet I'll be humming it to myself. Maybe because it is the one song that I actually know through and through.

Though of another GP: Madonna's early stuff. She doesn't have an outstanding voice, but it works with what she sings.

[PunkMC]

Just so you know that damn song is stuck in my head now :mad: . We used to play this game where i used to work, where we would go by each other singing a song that you know will get stuck in someones head. We should try that on the boards hehe. Like AH-Ha's "Take On Me"

[Karl J. Barnes]

We should try that on the boards hehe. Like AH-Ha's "Take On Me"

I like AH-Ha's "Take Me On", but it was the video that made like the song more. For its time that was one cool video.

[Chiasm]

I have two Debbie Gibson CD's :eek: Granted I bought them both almost fifteen years ago but I still listen to one of them occasionally :o

[Zissou]

I like AH-Ha's "Take Me On", but it was the video that made like the song more. For its time that was one cool video.

Is that the one with the scribbley animations where the characters are running away from something? 'Cause if it is, that still is a damned cool video.

[ghostrider666]

Early 80's new wave. Ive got a couple cds. Hidden. Dont tell anyone.

[howyadoin]

I have two Debbie Gibson CD's :eek: Granted I bought them both almost fifteen years ago but I still listen to one of them occasionally :oHeh. And yet you hate the Beatles.

[Zissou]

I really, honestly like some cheesey metal.

Once or twice a year I will go through weeks where I listen to nothing but Type O Negative and Immortal. Then I become very moody, and I'm either angry or depressed. After a fortnight of metal binging, I'll put the stuff away and not touch it months.

I guess I just need to get the Metal out of my system from time to time...

[Tish-the-Scorpion]

i have no guilty pleasure if i like it i just like it.

[howyadoin]

i have no guilty pleasure if i like it i just like it.Yeah, I'm pretty much the same way.

[Buried Alien]

I've got all kinds of 1970s and 1980s soft rock to go along with my harder rock 'n roll. Like Howie, though, I don't feel a tinge of guilt about them...but often I feel annoyance that people feel that I *should* feel guilty about them.

I own a few Debbie Gibson records from the 1980s myself. When I first got them, it was mainly because I thought she was hot. Today, I'm surprised by how listenable the stuff still is (well, some of it anyway).

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

[Chiasm]

Thats's actually why I bought them too. She was my teenage crush. :o

[Karl J. Barnes]

Yes, that's the one.

[Lubichev]

I probably like Abba more than I should. But there is no shame. The shame begins when I put on my feather boa and silver eyeshadow and start singing "Take a Chance on Me."

[GozertheGozarian]

The Divinyls. I'd watch that chick touch herself.

[DDM]

What is your favorite guilty pleasure songs?

I like Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wEWU25aN67U) (I was 6 when this song came out, but I loved it. And it holds up well today.)

[Stranger With Candy]

Robbie Williams Feel and Angel.:o

[Aggie]

i have no guilty pleasure if i like it i just like it.

i will clown you unmercifully if i find out you like clay aiken or one of those AI rejects...i saw a jasmine trejas cd on the rack at tower and busted a rib from laughing so hard...having said that...i love dolly parton songs and 50s bubblegum pop...:D

[Spike-X]

Carlos Santana/Rob Thomas - Smooth

I usually dislike anything Rob Thomas does, but I can't help liking this song! It's a hell of a lot better than that piece of crap Carlos did with Steve Tyler a while back.

it's hard to hate on that one...it pretty much kicks ass.

[Voncaster]

Belinda Carsile - Heaven is a Place on Earth

Totally unforgiveable, but I can't deny that I like it.

[Spike-X]

Belinda Carsile - Heaven is a Place on Earth

Totally unforgiveable, but I can't deny that I like it.
I want to make a mashup of that, Alice Cooper's Poison, and Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name.

Except I don't know how to make mashups.

[bert]

For me, it would be "Notorious" by Duran Duran.

"Wannabe" -- Spice Girls

and

"Larger than Life" -- Backstreet Boys

both of these songs got me to actually buy the CDs when I found them used (and for under $3).

[Mikado]

Sk8trboi by Avril Lavigne...um....ignore that, ok? :rolleyes:

[DDM]

Belinda Carsile - Heaven is a Place on Earth

Totally unforgiveable, but I can't deny that I like it.

I'd buy Heaven is a Place on Earth whenever her record company remasters it.

[Guitar Hero]

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl :o

[Fish Sauce]

Robbie Williams Feel and Angel.:o

Ditto. In fact, all the songs from his Greatest Hits and Escapology. :S

[i_mmmchocolate]

BeeGees...all songs
Barbra Streisand...all songs
Kelis- 'Milkshake'
Vanilla Ice- 'Ice Ice Baby'
MC Hammer- 'Hammer Time'
Justin Timberlake...nearly all songs
Sir Mix-a-lot...the butt song
Tub Thumper- 'Chumba-wumba' song
Salt-N-Pepa- 'Whatta Man'
Ginuwine- 'Pony'
Grease- 'Summer Lovin''
Tanto- 'Everyone falls in love'
R Kelly with Wisin & Yandel- 'Burn it up'
Daddy Yankee- 'Machete'

There are more, but I think I've incriminated myself enough for one day.

[TheRealOblivion]

I still put on the first 2 Spice Girls albums from time to time, and I rock out to Bon Jovi's Cross Road when no one's looking.

[The Confessor]

I have to say that I'm not really ashamed of any music I listen to...if I dig it, then it's cool as far as I'm concerned.

That said however, one song I really like that all my friends think I should be stoned to death in the streets for liking is...

Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel

Yeah, I know what you're thinking but it's not a song about f***ing rabbits!! OK?!! :evilangry

It's touching piece of music about death and mortality. Plus Art Garfunkel's voice is magic. :o

[The Comic Book Guy]

Not so much a song as bands.
When I was a teen back in the 80s I and all my friends listened to the metal bands...Ratt, Motley Crue, Poison, Slayer, Dio, etc.

But I actually enjoyed pop more, especially groups that were considered "gay" well, because they were.....Culture Club & Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Their orientation didn't matter to me. I loved their music and bought their albums. I still listen to them, and other 80's pop groups from time to time.

Of course if my friends would have caught me bobbing my head to Time (Clock of the Heart) or Relax, I would've been labeled the "F" word behind my back. Despite the fact that I was then and always have been woman crazy. It's just stupid.
:mad:

[G. Wayne]

I have a weakness for over-produced upbeat female vocaled pop music, the crap there's been a glut of within the last 7ish years. Some of Gwen Stefani's solo stuff, Thalia, Ciara, Kylie Minogue, etc, etc.

[PanzerMega]

Belinda Carsile - Heaven is a Place on Earth

Totally unforgiveable, but I can't deny that I like it.

First song I thought of when I saw this thread!

[Infra-Man]

Anyone remember Coming Out of Their Shells, that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles album you could get from Pizza Hut in the late 80s/early 90s? I still have the cassette and, you know, I still like the song "Sing About It."

[Weapon Ick]

Paris Hilton - "Screwed"

But only the demo version, not the one on the album.
