Guilty Pleasure Music

[astuarlen]

If you don't have a few of those bands or songs you sometimes just have to listen to but would be embarassed to be caught by family, friends, or your neighbor's cat while listening, you're not human (or have no shame ;>). So, tell us, which ones prompt you to crank the speakers (down) before pressing "play".


A selection from my playlist of shame:

Aqua - "Doctor Jones"
Crazytown - "Black Cloud", "Butterfly"
Haddaway - "What Is Love"
Kool and the Gang - "Ladies' Night"
MC Hammer - "Can't Touch This"
No Doubt - "Hey Baby"
Savage Garden - "Truly Madly Deeply"
The Laziest Men on Mars - "Invasion of the Gabber Robots (All Your Base)"

[DizzyDi]

My guilty pleasures.

Anything from the Cowboy Bebop OST
Anything Jazzy
Mika Nakashima - "Love Addict"

[Moo2u]

Nothin' wrong with a bit of Kool and the Gang. They rocked Jungle Boogie.

Me, I listen to tooooo much different type of music to actually be embarassed about. I listen to alot of polka sometimes (accordians pwn!)
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass are pretty sweet.
Showtunes if they're good enough like Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, or even some Gilbert and Sulavin is pretty good (I AM THE PIRATE KING!!!)
Or for that matter, I got some hard core opera on my playlist too.
Lots and lots of classical, like Franz Liszt, Mozart, or Brahms. That stuff is dope.
I have ONE Britney Spears song on my playlist, Toxic, but I only have it cause, if you listen to it, most people I talked to would agree it could make one sweet ass rock cover. Must most people can't get by Britty's crappy moaning to actually listen to the music, which is understandable.
1 hungarian techno song on there. (Szabo Janos)
Air Supply - I'm all out of love is on my playlist, but to be fair, it's mostly there out of commical value.
There's lots of weirder stuff on there, but s'all good.

[Moo2u]

Jazz is your guilty pleasure Dizzy? Check out The Shuffle Demons. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=40229215) Even tho they're retired now, they're still sweet.

ooh nice stuff Moo. Yeah Jazz is my guilty pleasure (and a lil J-Pop). Not many kids listen to it these days, especially around my area.
Pretty much anything that isn't Lean wit it, Rock wit it gets you weird looks.
Anytime someone ask to listen to my ipod or something they say something like "you listen to people nobody has ever heard about." and I just shrug my shoulders.

[Mixfortune]

Make Your Own Kind Of Music by Mama Cass Elliot - first hearing it in the second season of Lost, I just... liked it. I could imagine people might think it's weird or annoying to play all the time but it likes to pop into my head.

Warriors by Freedom Call - "Warriors, euphoria will rise, returning from darkness we bury all lies", tasty cheese

Birthday Cake by Cibo Matto - "It's moldy mom, isn't it?" "Shut uppu and eeeaaat!" "Extra sugar, extra salt, extra oil, MSG!"

The Cat With Two Heads by The Aquabats
Chemical Bomb by The Aquabats

Tribute by Tenacious D

Also most anything that comes from Seve vs. Evan.

Without a doubt, one of the most annoying songs I've had the pleasure of experiencing--but so addictive.

[PJ]

That was the one song I couldn't stand in JSRF; it just was like, "SCREEEECH" to me. Painful http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Well, I guess my Bleach/Naruto openings are my guilty pleasure music.

[Kizaragu]

Girls Aloud - The show.
They stand for everything I hate in music. Manufactured and off a reality TV show.
But they're so pretty! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[DizzyDi]

I loved Birthday Cake! Me and my friends used to sing it all the time, even though we could barely understand it.
JSRF is one of the only video game OSTs I've ever actually been interested in.

[Allos]

Blasphemous Rumors-Depeche Mode


Hard to believe that a heart of ice and METAL like mine likes an early 80s New Wave song...

Those songs rock my socks. If you like Aquabats, check out their Midget Pirates track.

[Feelmirath]

Hell, I play my Tenacious D music with pride http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

As for mine:
The Bad Touch- The Bloodhound Gang
Predictable- Good Charlotte
Fire Emblem- Hirokazu Ando, Tadashi Ikegami, Shogo Sakai, et al.
Every song I have by Maxïmo Park >_>

Try being the only half black half hispanic girl at school who listens and enjoys rock and metal. <<someone called me white because of that once.>> Sure I like all music but the only point that out, so I'm pretty much know what your feeling.

ON~topic.

Well the song at the end of the 40~Year Old Virgin. <3 i love it.

Sexy Back: Justin Timberlake
Toxic: Brittany Spears
The fact I'm male automatically makes it uncool for me to listen to these songs >_>;;

F*** Off: Kid Rock
Listen to this song through once and you'll why not to play it loud in an apartment.

[Moo2u]

I'm just getting into tango music. I'll ad that the my guilty pleasure music list.

Why isn't Sir Mixalot-Baby Got Back up There?!

Nah, Sir Mixalot isn't in my normal rotation but I definately wouldn't get embarassed if someone heard me blasting it, so its not really a guilty pleasure.

A few other guilty pleasures of mine are a few N*Sync songs, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears - Toxic, Simple and Clean and Sanctuary by Hikaru Utada (I think I spelled that right), and The Game. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

There is one. It was covered by Local H my friend. It's 'ok' if anything. Not one that I find regularly in my playlist.

But yes, add the Britney Spears version to my list if you would bartender. :(

[Sinue_v2]

Cindy Lauper

I've had a peculiar facination with her ever since watching Goonies.

[FIDELCASTRO]

Although I do admit I like playing that track on Donkey Konga. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[BlueDagger]

Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles...... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/cat.gif

[RoninJoku]

N'SYNC- Dirty Pop, Bye Bye Bye
Maroon 5

What makes them even more of guilty pleasures is that I sing them with booming, burning, passion.

Oh, I always sing along to the worst songs... after making sure no one is in earshot. ;>

I guess mashups are kind of a secret addiction for me, too. I'm not necessarily ashamed of them--in fact I make a point of mentioning/explaining them when talking about music I like--but most people I've encountered aren't too fond of them. So nice am I, saving their ears. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
Q-Unit? Daft Punk in my "Another One Bites the Dust"? WTF, they raped Queen!

LOL... Same here!!!

All the PSO songs on my MP3 makes me feel bad.. I'm so nerdy..

All Weird Al songs... The best one is the White & Nerdy though... Although I am not white, the lyrics crack me up.

All Korean pop musics taht I listen to. They are like all ballad songs.. Kinda embarrasing to show to my friends.

Um... thats about all the songs in my mp3 unfortunately... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one left on the North American continent who hasn't heard that one. Comes from not listening to the radio, I guess. I tend to pick up on popular songs about ten years too late, so eventually...

[navci]

Happy sappy anime theme songs. Ones that burn itself on your mind permanently type.

I don't care for the videos or Spears in particular, but it is pretty catchy in its own way. I'm sure it's a similar feeling in general, hence why it's on so many people's lists.

I used to really like Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand as well, but I had to cover it up a bit around my brothers and made the music video my excuse.

[SubstanceD]

Justin Timberlake.

Shayne Ward.

Kelly Clarkson.

I actually like all of these XD. Anywho:

"With You" - Jessica Simpson
"Too Little too Late" - Jojo
"Behind these Hazel Eyes" - Kelly Clarkson

....

"Girls Just Wanna Have fun" - Cindy Lauper http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Okay, but only a little bit of it!! After a minute it just makes me really angry. It's not so much that I like than it's the kind of song that no matter how hard you try you can't beat out of your head. Damn you, Cindy, and your Harpy-voice!

Hrrmmmm, can't seem to think of anything else. Probably a good thing. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

You're not the only one who hasn't heard Toxic yet in North America... >_>

I listen to all my music with pride, so no "guilty pleasures" for me.

[Moo2u]

Then you wouldn't mind listed a couple of odd track you got for us then, eh Hrigg?
wink wink nudge nudge say no more!

[Shigecki]

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g32/Shigecki/Lwtcdi.pngThis and basically any power ballad of the late 80's and early 90's. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g32/Shigecki/Poison-1984.jpg
Love the crap, but have a hard time listening to it without being embarrassed when I'm caught.

[Xaos127]

I tend to listen to Timberlake - My love when nobody is around.

[Debris]

80's David Bowie

[Firocket1690]

Evanescence. >_>;;
Well, the old is obviously better than the new.
Especially the song You

Ehh.. +1 for Toxic.
I think this is rather popular is because it's not a typical spears' song. She usually wouldn't sing anythign like this. Oh, and this one song is more electronica, than anything (compared to her other works) I'd be sad enough to admit I bought the cd single for the other two remixes too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Hilary Duff - Come Clean
Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams, let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm a whore for poetry. x)

Well. I had my obcessive Dashboard Confessional phase, but ehh. Everyone labels them as emo. That hurts. ;/

I'm browsing through my last.fm top artists, and I'd be willing to admit that I listen to most of them. Well. Some of my friends think I'm weird for liking Matisyahu, but that guy can sing! so rawr~

[KodiaX987]

I have a bunch of Eminem songs that I love. >_>

And my father would kill me right there if he ever heard me listening to Gay Bar. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Jehosaphaty]

I will shamefully admit to liking that hillary duff song.

[MaximusLight]

Hmmmm... music good... rock and roll/ metal fan here (note not death but definatly speed and normal heavy metal)

[Xanto]

I play my Dragonforce music a great deal because I can't resist the speed metal, but one thing always gets me, I don't like the voice..

[Sayara]

Hey, i thought You was some private forbidden song ;o

OVER - Lindsey Lohan is my guilty song XD I heard it at work and was like omgawesomesong, figured out is by her and was stupified.

Then there is The HORSE BAND which is nothing like i listen to, but its so hillariously amazing.

[Zuenza]

There is this one song from the Getbackers anime called Changin' that I like listening to,but when I show it to some other people.......yeah...
