What is your current musical guilty pleasure?
I have to admit, mine is that song "Nth Degree" by Morningwood. Totally not the style of music I'm into, but damn if it isn't the catchiest song I've heard in a long time. And the lead singer is cute, too. :)

1. Once More, With Feeling soundtrack from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I'm kinda in love with James Marsters' (Spike) voice, and Anthony Stewart Head and Amber Benson should turn pro...

7. Anthony Stewart Head released a CD a few years ago.
It was...shall we say...not good. (His voice was. The music wasn't.)

4. They are really fun
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 05:19 PM by mvd
Just great to rock to. Not sure they are a guilty pleasure of mine, though, as fun isn't really a reason for me to feel guilty about liking them. Probably won't make my best-of list, but I'm sure I'll be taking out Morningwood's CD a lot.

My big guilty pleasure:

Brie Larson (just because of how teen-pop it is - but she really is good. She has spirit for sure.)

Impresses me with her talent (yes, she does have it) as well as makes me thankful to be a man. She's hot.

that would be Coldplay. I really don't understand it. It's all the over-production and effects, I suspect.

oh, and The Darkness

25. Hey I saw INXS
back in '83 at a small venue in Ft. Worth, TX. I've been hooked ever since. Heck, ignoring how they got their new lead singer, I don't think the new stuff is half bad either.

57. OMG! I saw INXS in 1982!
It was right around the time Shabooh Shoobah was released. I saw the in Lexington, KY. I went to see Adam Ant and they were the opening band.

I've loved them ever since.

10. The Killers
Kitschy, campy, pop with a good beat and evocative lyrics.

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell my kids, or they won't like them anymore
and will cease all playing of The Killer's CD's.
Mom approval is the kiss of death to bands around here.....

I'm sure your average music elitist would make me feel guilty about enjoying Fall Out Boy.

My roommate's friend tried to convince me that the previous incarnation of Simple Plan, Reset, was actually good. I downloaded a song. I think they were actually worse.

15. Mid-Period Genesis
I really like mid-period Genesis with Phil Collins at the helm during the 75-78 years, but I always feel incredibly guilty for liking it. Same thing with Yes, another guilty one. I must have latent Prog Tendencies!

And I really like the 90125 album by Yes, as well (and not for "Owner of a Lonely Heart", either).

36. I don't believe in the concept of "guilty pleasures"
but then again, I'm comfortable enough with my oddball musical tastes to actually like stuff like that "Numa Numa" song for the catchy one-hit wonder that it is.

58. "Nice" by Duran Duran
On their new Astronaut album.

It's really a rather silly song, but it is so damn catchy and it makes me dance around the house.

I usually gravitate to depressing and disturbed goth rock, so this is totally out of character for me.
