No reason to feel guilty about it. I teach music for a living, I'm well-versed in the history and theory of music, and I listen to crap 80's rock all the time.axlryder said:
Music was created for communication and enjoyment. It's meant to be shared. That's where folk music comes in -- which is just music meant to be made by 'folks.' The stuff on the radio? A lot of it is our modern folk music.
And then there's the art music. The stuff written for professionals, to be performed by masters of the craft. The stuff written with real artistic weight behind every note, just dripping with intent. And that stuff's great, too.
I like Twinkies. I would never try to argue that they're "healthy" or "substantial," and I certainly wouldn't try to live on them entirely, but sometimes, dammit, I just want a Twinkie. And the existence of Twinkies doesn't preclude the continue existence of steak or salad. It's junk food, and that's okay.
Our so-called "guilty pleasure" are just our musical junk food. Nothing wrong with that. The only thing for people to feel "guilty" about is living as though it's the only thing that exists.
Wasn't gonna do this cos it's kinda douchey when I do but since you corrected him, yeah...TheBobmus said:

A few songs by Lady Gaga, mostly because my brothers god drunk and would stop playing it on repeat and singing it while I was playing Mass Effect at their house. After a while, you start singing along because fuck it. A litter while longer and you start to kinda like it.
Powerwolf. Powerwolf are pretty much the very definition of cheese in metal, the riffs are alright at best, the lyrics are hilariously cheesy, and the whole thing is just SO AWESOME. I have to assume that everything cheesy about them is part of their charm.
Also this.

Woah, I think you might be over-thinking this a little. I mean, nice response, and true, but this thread is pretty much meant to be a frivolous celebration of all that "junk-food". Guilty pleasure was just a phrase I threw in there to try and convey exactly what I'm referring to. I think anyone on here who listens to "baby" by JB would probably consider it a guilty pleasure.Dastardly said:
I guess this count (Faith Of The Heart by Russell Watson) seeing how it's consider bad bysome trekkie, hating it for not fitting in the rest of the Star Trek opennings.
To me the song is quite uplifting and it totally fit the series (since it's the preclude to the entire Star Trek franchise). Also the video itself fit perfectly show the accomplishment to what mankind had achive by exploration into the unkown.

Some other annoyingly catchy pop and J-pop songs.
A couple of Dubstep songs.

my favorite song, 4'33 by john cage. i'm sure alot of people think it's bad. but there's been alot of remixes and various stylised amateur and professional renditions too. so it's got it's niche.
3OH!3 does this to me. They're the only artists I've ever seen get a 0/10 from NME, and they aren't particularly well received anywhere, far as I can tell. But I still like 'em.
Nothing guilty about enjoying A Thousand Suns, if that's what you mean by "new" Linkin Park.Sean Hollyman said:
