Guilty Pleasures

I listen to the first Tatu album somewhat regularly. It's well-produced, structured pap pop of the first order. I like the new Madonna album too.
 
 I refuse to consider my obsession with Iron Maiden as a guilty pleasure because they are so absolutely bad ass.

  Why would you say bossa nova is a guilty pleasure? It beats at least 95% of indie rock.

As with all genres, there is good and bad.  The bad can get pretty awful.

Hah...I actually had a Styx "Best Of" cd in my hands at Best Buy the other day.  But I put it back.
 
 Maybe next time.

I'm probably one of the few people that actually liked "Theatre Of Pain".   :confused:

Well I guess I was assuming that she was referring to the good stuff.
 
 I guess you could preface any genre with the word "bad" and have it be a guilty pleasure.
 
 Bad bossa nova
 Bad indie rock
 Bad hip hop
 Bad alt-country
 Band metal

I actually think Theatre of Pain is still within acceptability as far as the Crue goes.

"Home Sweet Home" singlehandedly ruined metal in the '80s.  Metal can be many things, but heartfelt piano ballads are expressly verboten.

Their later disco-type stuff was absolutely terrible.  Those first 5-6 singles were terrific though.

George Michael
 Elton John
 
 Both let me get in touch with my inner "fabulousness"
 
 ...I also like that Angels & Airwaves song.

Hilary Duff - So Yesterday. This video comes on all the time at my gym, and I have to turn off the ipod every time.   :eek:
