I like him, but he's incredibly dull live

I really like...

The Midnight Beast

&

Little Mix

While I have absolutely awesome taste, I do love me a bit of power metal, despite how cheesy it is.

About 5 years ago I remember getting judged for my love of early 80s synthpop, but it's become credible again (and I put that entirely down to my lack of shame about it)

There's a few of the classic rock bands that are a bit cheesy that I still like (T.Rex, Aerosmith), and then there's other older bands that turned to absolute dirge and the name is now associated with the crap rather than their great early stuff (Roxy Music, Genesis, Aerosmith).

And I've got some shitty 00's indie in my collection, but most of that I wouldn't describe as a pleasure any more.

& Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick is the best song ever.

In fact every song on the Top Gun original sound track is the bestest songs ever.

Agreed, I'm a fan of Jake Bugg's records but saw him support The Killers at iTunes fest 2012 and thought the dullness could've been due to it being his first live streamed gig etc, and therefore gave him another chance, but he was equally as boring at Shepherd's Bush a few months later.

I told my brother that Frank Turner is better than Jake Bugg and he freaked out.

Just saw this thread out the corner of my eye and thought it said "Guilty Pictures Thread" bloody hell.

Jake Bugg's live performances have put me off his material they were that shit. The first time he was alright, and then the two times I saw him last year he was fucking awful. And then Shangri-La happened.

[giantwagon]

I thought they were fun, as they pretty much played a hits set with very little from Battle Born (which hadn't been released at this point), but that's as far as I'd go to be honest. Wouldn't bother seeing them at a bigger venue. Same goes for Kings Of Leon, who I saw at iTunes Fest last year.

So hard for this song.

Power w*nking tune.

& the true afterglow guilty pleasure.

That F14 Tomcat was one sexy fast jet.

[Tobieski]

Oh yeah I like quite a bit of Kenny Rogers

[giantwagon]

I thought they were utter shite tbh. I'd never seen them before and while they basically played the entirety of their greatest hits, it was the most boring show I've seen from a band of their stature and size. I was pretty disappointed I'd spent £50 quid on it afterwards!

[Babyquack]

Now Tobieski's posted that's reminded me, I'm surprised no-one's put RHCP as their 'guilty' pleasure yet

[lightning1000]

Not sure if it's a guilty pleasure but Ben folds five or Ben folds solo. Can't get enough of it haha.

[adam1234]

I could be here a while...

Hard Fi

The Kooks

Razorlight

The view

Pendulum

Babyshambles

Oasis

Fall out boy

Blink

Limp Bizkit

Paramore are ok

Pigeon detectives

I could go on

[Babyquack]

That's odd, but I guess maybe I was lenient to them as it was free! Thinking about it, I wouldn't have paid more than around £25 for it..

I really like Raditude by Weezer actually, that's one I forgot.

In terms of actual artists I'm sometimes inclined to listen to Escape the Fate and some dance artists like Deadmau5 and Skrillex that some people on the R&L forums seem to dislike

[lightning1000]

Personally prefer songs for Silverman or his 3 ep's. To be fair that's probably because I reeealy overplayed rocking the suburbs when it first came out

Someone just tweeted;

"Jack Bugg is the only person who knows music these days"

Hmmm...

RHCP ain't no guilty pleasure bun off
