Guilty pleasures musically

[swede]

you really should feel guilty about that. Shameful stuff

[russycarps]

I feel no shame, I have embraced the dark side of my musical pleasures. I bet every band you like are considered "cool", no guilty pleasures at all Russy ?

[MEGABOWL]

Are Coldplay a guilty pleasure these days? If so, them.

Other guilty pleasures tend to be individual songs rather than artists e.g.

Cant Speak French - Girls Aloud

Get Outta My Way - Kylie

Umbrella - Rihanna

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry

Irreplaceable - Beyonce

Say It right - Nelly Furtado

She moves In Her Own Way - The kooks

[oneeye]

OK, confession time, deep breath.............

I'll fly for you - Spandau Ballet

Cloud No.9 - Bryan Adams

Stay another day - East 17 (brilliant at Glastonbury 2009)

I want it that way - Backstreet boys

Can't believe it; all sad but true

I love The Kooks- I wouldn't even class them as a guilty pleasure. Can you now see why I haven't posted on the music part of the forum?

This is proving to be a very cathartic experience...

Confusing thread lads. Are guilty pleasures limited to pop/silly indie acts? I don't see much outside of these two in the above suggestions.

If we're talking pop acts you don't listen to with yer mates but if they came on the radio you'd continue to listen, then I think these 3 are ace, so:

Annie - "Chewing Gum"

The Go Gos - "Our Lips Are Sealed"

Aaliyah - "We Need a Resolution" (Specially the synthy end bit - that is MEGA)

I've already posted mine in this thread........

[neilloggie]

I really like Bjork and what ever happened to Little Boots? she seemed to come and go?

[rexclark]

Mine would definitely be The Scissor Sisters. I own all the albums and have seen them live three times. Of the two years I've been to Glastonbury this is probably one of my favourite moments. I was like a giddy schoolgirl.

[AcademicPistol]

Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around. It is well arranged and has nice layers to it!

[Gnomicide]

I don't feel guilty about any of the stuff I listen to. Much of which is considered shite to someone out there.

I suppose the definition of a guilty pleasure music wise is liking something that is considered uncool by the masses. If so, I could write you a list as long as your arm.

I love loads of 80s hair metal bands, not averse to the odd power ballad and have even paid to see Coldplay.

So sue me.

I have a terrible weakness for AC/DC...I know they're cheesey as fuck, but I cant help it

I got Live at River Plate today on triple red vinyl...it's lovely. Not released until Monday, but the record shop owner is a mate

[BA4 4BY]

Has to be Abba, I don't listen to them often but tracks such as Eagle, When I Kissed the Teacher, and Tiger really do it for me. It's probably more about the childhood memories bit though I guess.

OK, I'm ready!

[Ed209]

Mammoth tune

[JamesT977]

I saw Avril Lavigne when she was touring her second album, and I bloody loved it

[JamesT977]

Mines would have to be-

George Michael (Don't feel guilty though he is really talented)

Wham! (A bit guiltier about this)

Take That - Don't really listen to them much but they have some really good songs

Robbie Williams - Grew up hearing him all the time

Kate Bush

Cyndi Lauper

Michael Jackson

[grumpyhack]

Neil Diamond. My daughter reckons he's truly cheesy but he's got a great range of good sing-along material and puts on a good show.

No shame in The Wurzels or AC/DC (earlier comments) though for a bit of fun you can't beat Hayseed Dixie

[BlackHole2006]

Any 80's cheese songs bar none. Love 'em all.

[theampersanddevil]

I'm a sucker for a big sad melancholic pop song. The more sentimental and trashy the better. Things like Katy perry the one that got away.

Not so much guilty, most folks who know me know I love perfect forgettable pop music.

True guilty pleasure, as in made to feel guilty about, Malcolm Middleton. Some folks just don't think you should listen to really depressing funny music at Christmas.

[excitedfirsttimer]

Am so glad I posted this topic- can hold my head up high if/when we meet at the cider bus!

[JamesT977]

no reason to feel guilty about liking Kate Bush - she's one of the most genuinely talented musicians of the last 30 years

by all means feel guilty about the rest

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Melanie C - I Turn To You.
