In the immortal words of Abe Simpson, "I used to be hip...but then they changed what hip was!!!"

John Denver
Joni Mitchell
Sandy Denny
Carly Simon

I'm not ashamed of these, but I do secretly love disco! :)

[slaughteredsoul]

i secretly enjoy *some* country music and uh..Elvis priestly :D

[ZakNafien]

i secretly like bands who do ballads like

Lothlorien
Clannad
Enya (just clannad renamed)

[Dann]

I think Bjork is great! and Nelly Furtado is surprisingly good!

Barbietta, I agree with you on John Denver, he was very creative (although I wouldn't have owned up to the disco thing........lol)

None of my friends like the music that I listen to,

Melissa Ferrick
Thalia Zedek
Portishead
KD Lang of course, I have a.....gulp......Ricky Martin cd or two.....

Goodness, I feel isolated enough by being the only die-hard Neal Schon-aholic in Cyberfret Country. Do I really want to alienate myself further? :D

Well, let's see here... I get a lot of grief from people when they find out I'm a pretty big Loverboy fan... (yeah, I know, this is another group that the kids today will be saying "Who?")

Back in 1981-82, Journey was touring for their Escape album, and Loverboy was along as the opening act for their own album Get Lucky.

(But NO, I didn't get to go to that show either, dadgummit!!!)

[The Fury]

O.K, O.K I'll confess. I like Bon jovi. Well alright, it's not that bad because it's only 2 songs - Living On a Prayer and Allways.

But there is a reason for it, an ex girlfriend used to like Bon Jovi a lot and I mean a LOT so to appease her I would have to listen to it aswell.

Please forgive me :D

[Nick]

Way back when....Bon Jovi was one of the biggest groups around!

I was also into them in a big way.

i went to see them twice in the late 80's early 90's and they were awsome!

no apologies or confessions needed.

funny thing is i dont listen to them now.

P.S i can remember richie sambora coming on stage with a guitar with three necks!!!

[smfulla]

I'm not ashamed to like these bands, but they are definately bands that I people wouldn't think I liked.

Coldplay
Beetles
Bee Gees
Groove Armada
Some Boyzone songs

and thats about it

[The Fury]

Hey smfulla, which Boyzone songs are they? If it's the cover versions, then I would recommend checking out the originals by people like Tracy Chapman, Bee Gees or Catt Stevens. If its not the cover versions, then you need your head looking at :D ,only joking.

[slaughteredsoul]

I never thought i'd see Boyzone on the list but..i used to be a fan...before...a long time ago..hehe:rolleyes:
I was also a Bon Jovi fan..actually i listened to anything and everything,and i never limited myself to one genre or style of music,as i do (sorta) now.
i'm not really *ashamed* of anything i listen to now..except maybe the Priestly thing..lol
Honestly who can listen to 'You ain't nothin' but a hound dog'..without getting up to dance?:D

[fizz]

ahem..
..destinys child..
..i jus think she has a wonderful voice.
and pink..jesus...shes buff

[fizz]

sorry she as in the lead singer

[Krieselman13]

Dont tell any body, but I listen to SlipKnot, and Korn.

[TiJean]

I have to admit I'm really into hardcore,punk, metal , you know all the aggressive twisted crap , but I know everyone of John Mellencamp/Cougar's songs. I even went to see him in concert in Philly . Its my little "secret" i try to hide from the general public!

[13noon]

Linkin Park...
The place where I play hockey plays them over the P.A. like every game and i nearly went crazy with "Crawling" stuck in my head so I got the CD... Please forgive me...

~13noon

[Mr B]

Forgive me father, for I have sinned.


Motley Crue
Poison
Bon Jovi
Billy Idol
MC Hammer

[Nick]

MC Hammer!!!????

Now thats Just TOO far!!!

LOL

[Soundman]

People, if it's one thing I've learned in my life, It's not to be ashamed of the styles of music you like. Music is made by people for people. All these styles are out there now, nearly anything you need to fit whatever mood you are in at the time. I get into pop tunes like ABBA, then swing all the way over to groups like TOOL or Puddle of Mudd. It's all there for you to pick & choose to fit your mood. If you are ashamed of your mood, switch the music to change your 'tude. It's just that simple for me.
Backstreet Boys, anyone? LOL
I want it that way, Tell me why.....
Boys 2 Men
Soundgarden
John Lee Hooker
Michael Schenker
King Crimson
Hoku
It's all good to me...
What a geek, huh? Yeah I know.....

[WeezerChild703]

im a huge Alanis Morissette and no im not afraid to say so, if you ask ill say it- like 3 years ago ppl like tried to make me ashamed of it lol screw them!

[mynameisjonas]

the only band im kinda ashamed i listen to is Blink 182, but i like their music..otherwise i listen to some pretty weird stuff like primus but not afraid to say it cuz they are sweet haha

[SPEEDFREEK24]

bon jovi, (i dont know why everybody hates em so much, sambora is a full on noteworthy lead player)
loverboy, (come on, 80s pop scene, you know you need it!)
journey,
styx (...ya, you read that right...)
motley crue, (i say guilty pleasure cuz vince neil's nasal vox are somewhat embarrasing, but whatever. i still blare it from the car with the windows down!)
foreigner
and yes, HAMMER TIME! :D

[Pathos]

Okay...So, I AM a metal fan, really, I mean it. But here's a couple of guilty pleasures;

Something Corporate (they're sooo weak...but I like em)
Horrorpops (okay so I don't like what she sings about, but her voice is cool and their guitar, although simple, sounds good)

Metal fans everywhere are gonna call me a poser now. :( The test did say I am a True Metal Fan though!

[sewerhobo]

Why was this thread brought back? lol, the first posts are from 2002. Anyway, I'm not ashamed of anything I listen to right now. Although some may remember me saying that I used to listen to Hanson alot when I was younger. Back when I was stupid.

[sum1]

tupac
d12
outcast
bone thugs n harmony

[kirk_ham]

michael jackson

Theres been no solid proof yet!

[SPEEDFREEK24]

no solid proof eh? wait until the swollen and deflowered anuses (whats the plural of anus... is it anii?) start surfacing in his wake...

[MadMattUK]

you see thats just it... none of that sort of stuff has surfaced. If he was a definite paedo the child porn pics would have surfaced by now. Or the physical sexual scars. etc


BUt the only stuff thats surfaced is the children's parents throwing out accusations months after their kids were at his 'playhouse'.

Who knows tho...

[notfunny63]

awesome, so do i. also, not many people seem to like boston but i love them.


OMG boston is awesome they arent a guilty pleasure. they are one of the few bands that uses the major key a lot. and whats this Bon jovi a guilty pleasure. hansen.... theres a guilty pleasure. but whats wrong with u guys i have no guilty pleasures u might think evanesence is one but they have talent (unlike blink 182 who cant sing ithout affects)


....and uh this is always funny micheal jacksons name always comes up in here but no one mentions that he himself is the KING of guilty pleasures (unless u think fondling little kids is ok) but yea man thats WRONG

[crabnatch89]

Motley Crue...
Motley Crue

[sum1]

jack black? a guilty pleasure? :eek: how could this be!?

[backinblack]

Powerman 5000
Jet
Outkast
Slipknot
Alien Ant Farm

I don't think you should be ashamed of motley crue either, I think they're awesome and I'm not ashamed of it.

[smashedsk8]

Somtimes I cruse through the poppy, disgusting radio stations, such as EZ ROCK, and KOOL FM looking for a pop band that doesnt sound like every other pop band. I found some, and their great, but I dont know their names... stupid 40 minuits commercial free radio, why cant they do that on
Q107.1!?

[Pichacho]

would everyone hate me if i said i liked good charlotte? well i dont, so dont hate me! but as far as guilty pleasures go, i cant really think of any at the moment. at one point i was a HUGE linkin park fan, and i kinda like some blink-182, sum-41 and that kinda stuff songs, but not really.

[Millertime]

Heh, this thread may be getting old but I'm curious to know if anyone listens to the Darkness. Lots of people hate them and make fun of them for the vocals thing but I think they rock and are among the best new bands in recent memory.:)

Anyway, I used to listen to some stuff like Blink and Sum41 but then I got into classic rock and will never leave.

Love the darkness...not a guilty pleasure at all..their good,...end of story..

[Pichacho]

heard a few darkness songs, have friends who say they kick ass, so i dont hate em!

[Mikk]

I was thinking while reading that I don't know anything to be ashamed of in my music... but then I remembered the two Modern Talking tapes I bought years ago and loved... haven't listened to them ages... so despite not exactly knowing what it's like I think it's krapp :P
