What are your musical guilty pleasures?

klaus flouride

I know all the words to the 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' Theme tune. When I'm p1ssed I bust out the rhymes with great passion.

Duran Duran - White Lines (Its great!)

Their music is not brilliant, but they had a great bass player; just listen to the rhythym section next time you hear a Duran x 2 song- you'll see what I mean.

Nichololas

Little Respect by Wheatus.

Why would Peter Gabriel be a guilty pleasure? Brilliant at times, always good.

Mike.

Yes, Peter Gabriel is fab. The SO album is one of the best albums my pile.

Heres my guilty pleasure - WHAM! - Greatest hits. Some great tunes in there. Great to have roaring out of the car window on O Connell street at 3pm.

Not as scary as above, but Im a big fan of Kate Bush as well.

ZZTop's Eliminator album... too much 80's cheesy synths and soulless beats, but underneath there's still a **** hot blues band.

never.. EVER... EVVVERRR rag on the top. How dare you, wtf do you think you are? They can play what ever they want, and it will rock harder than something really hard. The fking cheek of some people.

/me takes out his car keys and twiddles his ZZTOP keychain... THATS RIGHT, I HAVE A REAL ONE!

Nothing wrong with either of them.

In my opinion anyway. But, then again, I do get a lot of slaggng over my musical taste.

Dudess

Made my afternoon, that. Who'd have thought Peely had mates in Shakatak?

I'll have to raise you five...

Dudess

Quality. Ah, there was a real love for that kind of stuff in Cork 10 or 12 years ago, which lasted til about 2001. Mór Disco was a weekly event that featured nothing but jazz-funk "joints", the back bar in Sir Henry's for chilled-out "cats", Soulsides in the Half-Moon Club, Telefunken, Jam in The Savoy.
Happy days.... *sniff*

on the topic of guilty pleasures aqua s candyman was an amazin song

tech77

Off the top of my head i can think of:
True. Spandau Ballet
Since you've been gone. Kelly Clarkson.
Also have a soft spot for one or two Roxette tracks. Must have been love etc.

Dudess

Imagination - tacky British "soul" (I use the term loosely - don't want to insult Marvin et al) group from the early 80s. Top notch!

The person who posted that is 15 - clearly doesn't realise how important and innovative The Message was/is considered.

This guy wins the thread by proving the 'shouldn't feel guilty for any music' posters wrong.

Dudess

Agreed!

Bubs101

Bomb Diggy by Another Level is mine. I paticularly like at the start of the video when they pass a sign saying "Dancing Is Punishable By Death"

A few more i can think of:
Jump: Van Halen
Wishing: Flock of Seagulls
Don't you want me: The Human League

My own "ahem" moments are to be found marked New Romantic!

Not the rubbish stuff naturally but the best by ABC, Visage, Human League etc.

Mike.

how can you say something like that. mccarthney is the master of pop fodder (mull of kintyre, the frog song) whereas lennon continued to write masterpieces after the beatles (imagine, jealous guy, woman)

delta_bravo

Korn :cool:

It's such a stereotype to say that Lennon wrote "classics" and McCartney wrote "pop songs". Lennon has been canonised-his last album was full of dull, middle of the road songs he used to tear in McCartney for writing. Lennon wrote just as many dodgy songs as McCartney, and McCartney wrote plenty of great songs post-Beatles (Live and Let Die, Maybe I'm Amazed etc.)

i'd always be more partial to McCartney myself. he's just a bit more adventurous and original than Lennon at times imo. funnily enough though i guess my guilty pleasure would be the frog song/all stand together. it was my favourite song when i was 3.

avril lavigne-on the saturday of O... yeah she really did it for me, but then i just want to do her also!

this struck me last night...

during the sixties, McCartney is writing songs like 'got to get you into my life, penny lane, helter skelter, lady madonna' and load of other good stuff. The Connection -> he wasn't a vegitarian. Nope - it were all bacon sandwiches and the like 'round chez Macca

come the seventies, and it's for the most part tripe and bilge along the lines of 'my love, goodnight tonight' and the divil and all knows what else. But by this time, he's eating lentils and nut roasts.

Sure, there's a few decent tunes in the 70's but i'm pretty convinced that they're all songs that were more or less ready to be issued as Beatles tracks except the band broke up...
