What's Your { Guilty } Pleasure?

Posted over 5 years ago
This is an album I adore, and sometimes I feel guilty about it...but I hereby admit to my adoration, in public, for the very first time.I said "sometimes" I feel guilty, because most of the time I honestly believe this 1992 album is a big, brawny bitch of a symphonic rock masterpiece. Of course it gets zero respect from mainstreamers, indies or anyone else, dismissed as a post-Nirvana hair-metal relic. Hell, the thing isn't even in print anymore, and used copies average about $1.50. But the people who love it really do embrace it - look at the album's page on Amazon for proof - and that's what I'm talkin' 'bout right now...What's your guiltiest pleasure? Singer, song, band or album? The one that you blast in the car - alone, windows rolled up - but probably nowhere else? The one you could never admit to loving, and if you did you'd barely be able to get the words out for all the embarrassed shivering and blushing? Moreover, do you love it despite knowing it kinda sucks - or do you believe, deep down, that it's great and underrated and everyone else just doesn't get it?Guilty pleasures are among life's greatest, I think. So come on, MOGgers, everyone's got one...now admit it!

  6. dbboucher says Amy, I don't list my full library so people will never know I have Mariah shit in my library. Oops, I meant to say, so people will will never know IF I have Mariah in my library, yeah that's it. At least I didn't buy any of that stuff, that comes from the library. I actually did buy some of the 80s pop stuff, and still listen to it. I like these threads because too many people talk about all the impressive music they listen to, but you know they're hiding something they're not proud of. Yeah, you know it's true. Sure you listen to that great arty stuff, but there's something else in your library, some dark and sinister...

  7. slantera says I have learned to cope with what people have called, guilty pleasures. Music is not necessarily about an identity, it's also about how it makes you feel, what memory does it bring back or just how cool it sounds. I've admited to listening to Sade. I like disco, too. I'll even tell you right now, I like Extreme's, 'More than words'. :-)
