this is the thread that will separate the men from the boys the girls from the women;what was the musical guilty pleasure you had this year:I will start it off in the most heinous way I know how ....I actually looked forward to the new Avril Lavigne album and when it came out I found myself singing along in the shower to more than a few of the songs...apparently I am a homosexual...don't tell my girlfriend please...I am officially turning in my white belt and my subscription to Mojo...
-
oh, and by the way "Flame on"...as the dude in the Fantastic Four would say...
-
i really do think you should tell your girlfriend that you are gay, then you will be free to listen to cher,cyndi lauper and the village people, oh to be gay.

Gosh...I was gonna cite Stellastar as my guilty pleasure....I don't feel so guilty now!
Booradley17 you the man. I don't despise Avril so much. I mean, compared to Brittany Spears and Christina Slutskillerra she's great. You're a real man for posting that here :)
-
first, i'd hardly list stellatarr* as a guilty pleasure, and second, their album came out in 2003.
in the spirit of the thread originator, i'm gonna have to say the latest sum 41 record. i found myself rocking out to that alot more than i probably should have.
-
Mine is going to THREE shows at MCI Center this year. Holy cow, even I can't believe it. Prince was fantastic, Vote for Change awesome, and Madonna was quite a spectacle but...too much a broadway-type show rather than a concert for me.
-
I'll say it; 'Toxic' is one hell of a good pop song.
-
Guilty pleasure-that would easily be Prince or Kanye West.
-
I can sing all the words to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman." I also like "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" by Big & Rich. :p

those are by far the worst 'country' songs of all time.

ya think I'm gonna post about my guilty pleasures on a public message board?! Oh wait, you mean music... well hmm, that would be Electric Six, which my friend Katie gave me for my birthday... how can you go wrong with lyrics like the below? This is an extremely guilty pleasure, unless they're so funny that they cross the line into hipster irony, in which case it's a pleasure but I'm not guilty. But they also genuinely rock, which counts against hipsterness.

Love that song!
As for guilty pleasures for myself this past year, I would choose Scissor Sisters (oh, and dancing to house music Saturday nights at The Blue Room - I'm going to have to go to confession *numerous* times to atone for that). ;)

Not a cd, but a guilty pleasure show: Fuel.
-
I'll second Toxic as one hell of a good pop song. I'm so ashamed to like it though.
Also, that Electric Six song is good...the album isn't very good though....
I think mine would be the new Green Day album. It isn't great, but it's good for Green Day....
-
k8tee... really? I like the whole album, but maybe it's just because I have it on heavy rotation in my car, and it's definitely fun driving music.
Oh, and liking Green Day is DEFINITELY a guilty pleasure... you just sold any punk cred you had down the river! :D
-
I never feel guilty when I listen to music I enjoy.
I don't care that other people hate Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Green Day, Sum 41, Blink 182, No Doubt, Lindsay Lohan, U2, Outkast, Gretchen Wilson, Christmas Music, etc.
If I enjoy it, I listen to it. If you don't enjoy it, don't listen to it. If the critics/hipsters/indie/general-music-know-it-alls tell you not to like it and make you feel guilty, then stop reading what they have to say.
Be proud, stand tall and take a stance. Crank up Britney's greatest hits and dance around in your underwear - you will be a happier person if you do.
-
mine would have to be thinking too long about vansmack dancing around in his pants...........
:p
-
easily the biggest guilty pleasure of the year is "somebody told me" by the killers.

danger, high voltage!! - but im not guilty about that one at all.

i guess it would be rage against the machine.

Blink 182's "I Miss You"
I don't know why and for what reasons I like it. LEAVE ME ALONE! OK?
-
I listened to Fleetwood Mac - Tusk a lot this year. A lot.

Hey! The 'Mac is not a guilty pleasure!

i agree 1000% but not just that one song, the whole album....I cant stop listening to it. and i am DEAD positive that in 2 years, i will lash out at anyone who listens to, sings or mentions the fact that i ever listen to or sung a Killers song!!!
but this was a ho-hum year for tunes anyway really.

Really? I had a tough time narrowing down my list of top 5 songs of 2004 for the BigYawn poll.

Wow......Me too. :confused:

recently its been The Cars
-
The Cars aren't a guilty pleasure!

I thought most people considered them fairly cheesy pop, I dont really feel all that guilty about it. It just reminds me how cool I thought the start of "Hello Again" was when I was a kid and my brother would play the Heartbreak City album. I only have the Anthology now.

doesnt mean it was that great of a year.
2 of my top 5 are Killers songs, btw.

Well, for me it was. That was the point of my earlier post.

"you make me wanna la la" or whatever, speaking of Ashlee Simpson. I like the video.

hmmm, it was a ho-hum year for albums, but there were plenty of great tunes nestling out there on mediocre albums

I'll agree with that. I am now collaborating the Top 400 singles of the year, per 22 people across this vast country, and Canada, and its looking like a lot of different artists with just one good song..

I'll one up you: I put "I Miss You" on a mix CD for a friend earlier this year. I love that whole album.
-
My guilty pleasure this year is the same as it is every year until they take it off the air:
Smallville.
Though I don't really feel guilty about it.
-
You know what you like. Don't feel guilty about it.

I bought the Puddle of Mudd cd. I don't like it and I feel really guilty about it.
