This is a play on the gaming thread. But like it says what music do you hate to admit you like. Here is mine: Dune: Hand in Hand [Rave from the late 1990s Germany]
-
Antony and the Johnsons. If nothing else, I should be annoyed by that warbly voice, but I continue to listen to it.
-
Linkin Park
-
diminished chords :p
-
That's not really guilty.
-
Rascal Flatts.
The ****ing boy band of country, but they're still good.
-
Slipknot... I know, I know.
-
hoobastank
but only the first 5 tracks of their first album. everything theyve made since sucks.
-
Rush, while not normally a guilty pleasure for most people, would be mine considering all the other stuff i listen to.
-
Cascada! :)
-
Goldfrapp.
-
JPop...
-
Moody Blues and Yes.... :nervous:
-
gwar!
-
gwar!
Was that a band or a general exclamation?

Linkin Park

I freely admit everything, and have no shame. So there isn't one, really. But a short list of what somebody here will doubtless view as horrible sins follows.
D12 (Instigator and Fight Music are marvelous for when you're feeling maleviolent and decide to take it out on some helpless newbies online.)
Eminem
Two-Mix (JPop ftw.)
The Fray (Only a couple of tracks, to be honest. How to Save a Life is the only one I listen to with any regularity.)
Linkin Park (Well, some. I've kinda grown out of a lot it, since I'm not as emo as I was in highschool. I'm still hunting for a particular mix of My December though.)
Limp Bizkit
All kinds of '80s stuff. (I've been known to sing along to Take My Breath Away and several things by Phil Collins on occasion, though very softly. If that doesn't scare you ****less, you're not human.)
Bits and pieces of the Intial D soundtrack. (Stay is the only one to which I remember the name to off the top of my head, but there are four or five more. Couple more that are rap in Japanese, too.)
Yukarie (Japanese jazz; did the ending for Blue Submarine #6 if you saw that.)
Paul Oakenfold
Darude
Sailor Moon soundtrack (FEAR THE MAGICAL GIRL SHOWS.)
-
Green Day.
Mainly because it drowns out all other noise, so I can focus on coding.
-
nylon beat
-
Alice in Chains
Stone Temple Pilots
Pearl Jam
Oasis
Beck
Cake
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
etc...
-
bob seger
-
Placebo
JPop (Anime Soundtracks, mainly...)
-
I occasionally listen to... Five for Fighting :shaking:
-
JPop
-
Public Enemy - Chuck D speaks out against things I'm for, sometimes.
Ministry - the OLD stuff, like Twitch and 12-inch singles era.
Amen - satisfies.. something.... used on RARE occasions.
-
JPop
-
Depeche Mode. Particularly the albums "Songs of Faith and Devotion," and "Ultra."
-
ELO, whose tune "Livin' Thing" was Q magazine's top guilty pleasure song IIRC.
-
Depeche Mode.
... are uncool now? What unenlightened times we live in.
-
Well, to qualify that statement, I live in south Texas where the benighted population at large is under the shared delusion that Garth Brooks was God's gift to music. Well, that part that speaks English, anyway.
-

Turn to Stone also FTW.
-
I have a small list :nervous:
Ayumi Hamasaki(JPop)
Linkin Park
Classical(Richard Wagner, for example, and some did mention unenlighted times we live in, that explains this best)
As I Lay Dying+Demon Hunter(Christain rock bands...As I'm an atheist)
And that one song on the commercial for those blue underwear(with the fruit people) that sounds like coldplay, I love that freaking song damnit! >_<
And I listen to metal, techno, and EBM >_< generally and unabashedly.
Oh and Dr. Dre(The Chronic 2001)....But that I'm not ashamed of, all my rockers friends listen to that....It's the Chronic, it's pack a bowl music :D
-
I will refrain from the obvious Apocalypse Now joke.
I can't stand Ayumi. :p
-
Mine?
Madonna and video game music...:nervous:
-
I like Frozen...can't think of anything else decent she's done.
:nervous:
-
Lots of video game music, especially in piano. People hear it and are like "what's this?" and then I have to explain its from a video game and blah blah blah.. and they're just like "oh.... I see...."
And techno.
-
This is funny...apparently everyone listens to JPop and won't admit to it :)
-
Speaking of musical guilty pleasures... anyone listened to Vincent Black Shadow?
-
This is funny...apparently everyone listens to JPop and won't admit to it :)
JPop? As in Japanese Pop? I tried listening to that, but honestly I can't stand it. Voices that high make my ears bleed :p
-

Seconded. I never really understood why a lot of people like it either, unless you speak the language. Though I'm sure that language has nothing to do with why people like it,meaning that they may not be able to understand Japanese and listen to the lyrics. Some people, myself included, probably like the sound of the Japanese language, the flow and the sound of the words.

as far as coutry goes i like the old skool stuff, like johnny cash and hank williams. all modern country music talks about is bull sex and killing muslims. old country was about suffering, not how big the tires on your truck are.

i also hate jpop. i have nothing against foregn language music. listen to metal in german, norwigian, finnish, sweedih, gaelic, spanish, potugeese and dutch, to name a few and i avoid domestic bands like i avoid domestic beers. even the metalish jpop reminds me of glam metal, which i hate just as much. sence i dont mind the japaneese language so that means that its the pop aspect i hate. japan took the us's ****ty aproach to music, subtract art and add profit. jpop is taking a crap all over the good aspects of japaneese culture. it must be stopped for the sake of the japaneese people!
:hopping:

I wonder if I can cause you to have an aneurism by linking to the translated lyrics of Rhythm Emotion. Or the English version itself.
-
Lol, ayiyiyi I'm your little butterfly XD Butterfly is my "War song" XD
But umm....I don't know, I just like the way it sounds, and she's a good singer methinks :nervous:

I'll grant you that. I'm not a fan per se of old country, but it doesn't make my ears bleed like the stuff everyone around here listens to today.
Right or wrong, I kind of make a distinction in my head between "country" and "folk music." The former with it's fake twang, lyrics a 12-year-old could write, and entirely predictable song structure... well, you get the idea. I can appreciate the latter though, even though I'll never actively seek it out. A lot of older country music (Johnny Cash is a good example) really seems to fall in that category to me. I'm trying to come up with some other examples, but the only one that's coming to mind at the moment is the band my Uncle started briefly about 15 years ago. No chance in hell anyone outside of Duncan, Oklahoma will have heard of them.

Funny, most of my music happens to consist of Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, and George Strait with very little Hank Williams or Johnny Cash. I don't mind listening to old country, but I mostly throw on one of Chesney's CDs when I'm relaxing (he does some terrific soft songs) or some Adkins/Keith CDs when I'm in the car and not listening to the radio (which is often tuned to the local country station).
Funny thing is I live in central Indiana, which isn't exactly a country music hub like Texas or Tennessee.

or you can listen to some underground country like hank III. i think it more falls under psychobilly but it still kicks ass.

Avril Lavigne is great for doing all night Photoshop.

There I said it! Aaaargh!

If anyone just heard an odd sound-- sorta like that whistling sound they use in cartoons to indicate someone falling-- it was the sound of Rictor relinquishing his right to make fun of my snobby artistic sensibilities.
-
8-bit =/
Oh, and some electronica.
-
Ashlee Simpson - Pieces of Me.
-
oh man now i got a song in my head, but its too embarrasing to say. so il say a lesser.
33. Why Go? - Faithless/Estelle

I'm afraid I can't stand country. Nor rap.

My new guilty pleasure is Cansei de Ser Sexy.
-
path - cello quartet
-
Black Eyed Peas - Pump it Louder
(Being first and foremost a rock addict, listening to Hip-hop makes me feel really guilty [in a Vasudan-in-a-bikini kind of way])
-
50 Cent - Magic Stick
This song is just hilarious
-
I admit it. I like the numa numa song.

They were very rock indeed.

It's shame they broke up. What's even more shameful is that I saw them when they were opening for NIN, and I did not appreciate their music then. This seems to be a problem for me. I'll see a band live, and then get hooked on them after the fact.

Same thing happened with me and Gojira, and Amon Amarth.
-
Gosh... I think mine would be... erm... certain boy bands. Lets face it... the people who write their music make catchy ****. This mostly applys to the Backstreet Boys. God help me.
Thankfully, I don't own their CDs or anyof their MP3s, so I don't indulge much, unless my g/f forces me too. XD
Other than that, I listen to everything under the sun. XD
I have to say that my fav song is 99 Red Balloons in the original German Dance mix. (Slightly sped up for more fun XD)
I also listen to JPop... studied Japanese for awhile, but certainly cannot understand the songs. Just like the language. Also tend to enjoy the fact that I CAN'T understand the lyrics... I just get to hear the tones in the voices and listen to the raw energy projected by their voices into the music.
God did I just sound new-age or what? O.o Raw energy inherant in music? *shakes his head*
-
KT Tunstall. Very occasionally, granted.

Have you listened to MSTRKRFT's The Looks yet?
I have had similar experiences too, they kinda suck but so do I so v :) v

Damien Rice...

Dragonforce (Power metal band . Gets alot of its songs from sega games :yes: :yes:)
Nightwish (Gothic metal band with a great vocalist who sounds like an entire opera. Great guitar too)
Rob Zombie , Godsmack, Rammstein, Static-X
And some trance / dance / Hard NRG when the mood gets me.
-
Damien Rice...
Guilty?!!! :eek2:

Youre ashamed of listening to Rammstein? Just wait until I tell my german freinds, theyll chase after you with dildos and flamethrowers. Seriously, Rammstein are one of the most badass bands youll find out there.
I saw Dragonforce live just a few months ago. The show was good but their mixing was horrible. Could hardly hear Herman Lee over the ****ing drum + bass.
Nighwish.... eh theyre alright. The singer remiends me of Evanessence.

LOL I never said im ashamed of Rammstein. They're awesome. I listed all the bands i like, and in no particular order either.
Nightwish are wicked, and that whore from Evanescence has -NOTHING- on Tarja.
Pity that Tarja left the band. She moved on to greater things, and has become pretty much 'THE' voice of finland. (at least i think the bands from Finland )
-

So in other words you completely missed the point of the topic? :p
As for me I've been listening to a lot of Skindread recently. I don't know if that counts as a guilty pleasure cause I'm not ashamed of liking them so much as keeping the volume down to stop getting :wtf: looks from everyone.
-

Yes you're quite right they are from Finland. And on this spring (or so) the band should be announcing the new lead singer, but this time background as an opera singer is not a requirement. So let's see what they can come up with.

To be honest they kicked Tarja out because she was like an uppity spoiled rich ***** - and her interviews did not really help her image, because she acted like uppity spoiled rich ***** and attention-whored EVERYWHERE after Nightwish booted her.

Damien Rice...
Guilty?!!! :eek2:
It's chick music, not that it's bad, but I'm insecure about my manlihood :P
-
The one time Nightwish pissed me off was in the "Wish I had an Angel" video where the guitarist and backup vocalist dude had two braided ropes of ugly hair coming out of his nasty beard. :ick:
-
I don't have any according to your definition. Now if by "guilty" you meant ashamed since most people just wouldn't understand, that's different. :D
I don't like most Jpop, but Fire Bomber & Basara rock (Yoshiki!)
and a lot of 70's bands (Styxx, Kiss, Toto, ABBA, etc)...
FIRE!!! :lol:
-
...Philip Glass... :nervous:
ITS JUST THE SOUNDTRACK FROM NAQOYQATSI!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing more!!!!!
