Hm... I don't really know about mine. I listen to such a wide range of music and I'm not really ashamed of any of it. I mean... If I don't like it... I won't listen to it... I do like Micheal Jackson. I listen to everythings really. I listen to a lot of classical music... if that can be considered a guilty pleasure... I guess the biggest one I have would have to be the fact that I like a few Fall Out Boy songs... but just because I was forced to learn them and play them for a group of girls...

i was raised with punk music, so i love alot of stuff that most people on here would cringe if i mentioned. (gg allin, US bombs, the buzzcocks, the exploited, circle jerks) i also am a big fan of most indie music, from some acoustic poppy/emo/mainstream stuff like dashboard confessional or jack johnson, to just plain weird **** like ugly cassanova and lord gore.

I like Devo a lot, which some of you might find odd, but I don't really consider it a guilty pleasure because I think they were really cool.

Oh, I have some. I like:
Relient K
Theory of a Deadman
Seventh Day Slumber
A bunch of other crappy religious bands. I've been to concerts for Pillar, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Seventh Day Slumber TWICE. I was going to go to Kutless but ironically, they were sold out :confused:
That song "Dance Dance" by Fall Out Boy. I didn't used to but I heard it a few times and I like it because it's weird and different.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

Yeah. "Gut Feeling" is one of my favourite songs ever. And also "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA."

Are you talking about the Beatles, or is there some other band I don't know of called the Beetles? If you're talking the Beatles here, you shouldn't feel guilty. They're only the coolest band ever.

Im not really guilty, just hesitant to confess three things:

I really like Michael Jackson especially "Heal the "World" and "Beat It".....It really sounds good.....atleast for me.

I love Tears for fears, Spandu Ballet, JO boxers, the CURE, and 80's new wave stuff. - NEW Wave is really cool !

It's my habit listening to neo classical stuff every now and then and it sounds great to my taste (even though it sucks to some. ) .........YNGWIE "F@#&*%g" MALMSTEEN Rules !!!......hehehe.

Sublime, according to my guide lines to music, are awful. I still love them though, and so do a good majority of people. Hank Williams, ew, I don't even know why. I just live so far from civilization I was bound to listen to some country. So there! Now I'm going to go listen to some Ugly Casanova and Pedro the Lion, for I have sinned in the indie bible. :rolleyes:

Chilliwack......Gone, Gone, Gone.......into the ether of lost 45's. I certainly know my share of those bands too, I got to see a few live when I was still a parakeet. One of my not so guilty pleasures these days has been country music. I'll listen to guys like Keith Urban and just start itching to pickup my Strat.

Oh man... Chilliwack at the Ontario Forum in Toronto.
I've been gone gone gone I been gone so long...
Had a front row seat and the reviews the next day in the Sun said that if he was a new artist, he would have had it made.

Totally pissed me off because I'd been listening to those guys since 'Baby Blue' and they never totally made it cause of the 'Canadian' label they got stuck with.
Same with Guess Who.... hey it's Canadian, so they must suck.

Any time; they're a great band and deserve much more attention than they're getting.

Had a chance to pick up "The Mystery Spot" yet?

I'm wondering how they're sounding with JP Gaster from Clutch drumming.
