and certainly not the tom tom club. I don't know who would rip you on here for liking them.

I like a lot of manufactured pop music. In particular the creations of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. I wouldn't call this a guilty pleasure though, i tell people this when they ask what music i like, amongst other things of course.

If somebody has a problem with what you're listening to they should find better things to do with their lives. I love the Dandy Warhols. I will say that Come Down is perhaps my second favorite album, and that I listened to it on the way to work yesterday. I also love Dire Straits, Santana, Emerson Lake and Palmer and The Divinyls. Sorry, but it's true. And I don't feel guilty about it all. Guilt should be reserved for adultery and murder. Not music.

The musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

A word about Dandys: I was living in Portland, Oregon when the Dandy Warhols were coming up and Portland folk hate to see their own make good cause Portland is one of those towns where everyone to too cool for words. Whenever they came home they'd play the Paris Theatre and I always went to see them, but I always felt weird cause I knew I was was going to have to either not talk about how great I thought they were or be quiet and keep it as a quilty pleasure.

Seriously, I think that's were the title of their 1st cd comes from: "Dandy's Rule, OK?

I'll take more pride in future.

s'about it for now

can anyone explain this lyric?

"Wire's comin back again, Eee-las-ti-ca got sued by them"

Thank you by Jamelia

most DiSers would find horrific - Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Destiny's Child etc. I'm not ashamed though!

just means really good pop music usually and that is NOTHING to be ashamed of

I wrote the sleevenotes to Embrace's b-sides compilation, and got thanked in their last album.

I would NEVER have addmitted to liking those bands, that shows how insecure I am.
My hat's off the the boy!

Branca and Cage are immense! why would they be guilty pleasures, unless you hang around with stupid people...on the interweb...erm..

the rest are gash though (but fuck guilty pleasure, be loud and proud!)

-=sigh=-

Except ska punk. You people are idiots.

lastfm really just scuppers any illusions of a *good* taste that i might have. but yeah, none really.
plus ABC are ace and i played the divinyls in my (one) dj set, and i probably will play them again. huzzah!

about tracks given in the "first 5 songs on shuffle" posts; they rarely seem to contain tracks that many DISsers might consider guilty pleasures. I have never dared post mine as test shuffles have usually unearthed something sneer worthy!

are three guiltyt pleasures that i have no problem with admitting and i explain how they are actually genuinly good and very much enjoyable.

This thread was just a vehicle to show off my impeccable taste- which after forty years of picking winners I know I must have. But, I argue that I do actually have music that I feel compelled to listen to in private just so I can enjoy it without having to worry about it offending anyone or causing anyone to question my taste. Surly all of you have had someone come down on you for either what you are listening to or listening to too loud. "Turn it down please?" "Ah, gee, would you mind turning your music down?"" or "You actually call this music?" or worse yet, someone whom you consider to have good taste in music actually questioning what you are listening to. I myself try to remove myself from situations where I feel the environment has become polluted with music I can't stand. Usually, I wisely say nothing and just leave or bear it. Unfortunately, on occasion, on the DiS boards I have lashed out in negative diatribes against certain music. Yeah, I say listen with pride- but try not to offend bystanders cause it really is rude to impose your own taste on others. Music is powerful and I can't just tell people fuck off if they don't like it- it is, in a way, kind of aural rape in my book.
