Guilty Pleasures

No, this thread is not about THAT. sheesh.

It\'s more of a survey. I think everyone has at least one band/musician/singer/whatever whom they really like, even though you\'re really not supposed to. A band that most of your peers don\'t take seriously, causing much jeering when they discover you like said band. Mine is Billy Joel. *wince* I know, I know. But I really enjoy Billy Joel. Anyhow, who is YOURS?

Conversely- the band that you SHOULD like but can\'t stand. A band that most people think is pretty solid. Mine: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Tom Petty makes me want to drown myself.

I really like Billy Joel\'s catalog from the 70\'s - 80\'s.  Great singer/songwriter!

I have plenty of quirky pleasures.  Too many to name.  I will throw a few names out to disgust you all:

New Kids on the Block



Can\'t stand but are popular:

Neil Young, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen,

I do have to compliment myself on a diverse collection of music.

The PB family definitely helped expand my music interests and I have many of you to thank!

Is Bob Seger still Popular?  Other than his song on a commercial I have not heard that name since I was maybe 16.

My only "guilty pleasure"  is Eminem.  Though I have grown to tolerate Dave Matthews a little more.

I really don\'t like Neil Young, and I\'m actually not a fan (or is that "phan") of Phish and most jam bands.  I\'ve also grown tired of Bob Marley.  Maybe I just need to hear a song that isn\'t "No Woman, No Cry" or "Redemption Song" for once.

Dude Drew I totally went through a phase where I was tired of Marley also but I realized it was mainly due to the same songs I was hearing much as you suspect. Try to search out some of the live shows w/ Tosh and Bunny man the music they create is truly revolutionary Reggae.

Big fan of: Salt N Pepa, Boyz II Men, Sisters With Voices (SWV), TLC, Fela and Femi Kuti, DMB, Train (their first album is really good), Rent soundtrack, Enigma, Queen, Ani DiFranco, Dead Milkmen, GWAR, Slayer, and the spectacularly underrated Bjork.

Way below the norm in my love for: moe., Widespread, reggae in general, Heart (sorry Diana), The Beatles, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Blue Oyster Cult

My Guiltiest Pleasure...

Madonna.  From her first album, the self titled Madonna to Music, there is something about the queen of the universe who is now calling herself Esther....

Shouldn\'t like, but I do:  Duran Duran....Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, Girls on Film....awesome shit.

Should like, but I don\'t:  Too many to mention, because all the bands I dislike, I REALLY dislike with a passion.
