Your non-classical 'guilty pleasures'?

[Shrunk]

Britney Spears, especially "Slave 4 You" and "Toxic" (the twangy spy guitar in that one gets me every time.) 

Although, really, pleasure never makes me feel guilty.

Now we're talkin'! Britney...that is a guilty pleasure. I admit I'm rather fond of her cover of the Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Todd Rundgren

Yes! I have all three Nazz albums.

Now me, I know what true guilty pleasure is...I like Bow Wow Wow and Annabella! And yes, I feel deep, deep shame and guilt 

Good for you, Sarge. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. If I remember correctly, when you posted a picture of your listening room on the old board and I mentioned the Bow Wow Wow poster, you said it belonged to Mrs. Rock

See? Aren't we all feeling better for this therapy?

All three of them, you lucky man!

Exotica.  That mix of faux hawaiian and lounge jazz, sometimes including tropical bird sounds, that was popular in the late 50's and early 60's.  Artists such as Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter.  In fact I listened to the following two albums earlier this evening while sitting on my patio drinking some wine after working in my garden:

Britney Spears?

No I didn't. I always fess up to my crimes 

You asked Mrs. Rock about it too when she joined the old board. Here's the conversation you had with her:

BUSTED!

I love Extreme Metal, but don't consider it "guilty".



I grew up loving Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Captain Fanatastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy especially. As I get older I feel less and less "guilty" about it.


Some fool gave me a hard time for loving Johnny Winter, but I'll be damned if I feel "guilty" over loving such a tremendous musician.


I've been made to feel guilty for not thinking particularly much of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, and being generally very alienated, turned off, and weirded out by Rap and Reggae music.

Faced with the incontrovertible evidence that my memory has once again failed me, all I can say is I want candy.

Beyonce, Shakira, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child a. s. o.--- although the guilt is visual, I never cared much about the music itself.

A fool indeed. He gave you a hard time about Winter? Unbelievable.

I think it's better as a concept than music. I love a few of the songs but as an album it's way down my list of favorites. And too, I blame it for Prog Rock, the one musical genre I just don't like. Sgt Pepper influenced almost everyone, and too often the results were crap (and I include my own favorite bands like the Grateful Dead). Rock 'n' roll turned artsy fartsy. Sgt Pepper has a lot to answer for

What are your favourite xtreme bands? Mine: Opeth, Stratovarius, Megadeth, Zarne, Cradle of Filth, Ramstein

I have a small collection of Exotica including Taboo. I do enjoy it but found it quite limited after a certain point.

These are my faves:

This is a modern twist on the old style and its very good.



This is a lesser known artist but a fantastic, if short, album of classic Erotica.



Martin Denny is one of the best purveyors of this style. This double cd comp is great.




and... I don't consider any of them as guilty pleasures

My lady loves Cradle of Filth (my favorite is Cruelty and the Beast), and Stratovarius certainly gets interesting. I love Death, Morbid Angel, oldest Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem and Darkthrone, '80's Bathory, Necrophagist, Deicide, Krisiun, Marduk, Sodom, Kreator...

I was going to say that I didn't believe in "guilty pleasures", but i wasn't expecting some of the things some of you have come out with!
