Guilty Please Bands

[Nugent Goes AOL]

I'm curious to hear what everyone's guilty pleasure bands are.

Y'know, the bands that you love rocking out too, but wouldn't exactly...well...wear a t-shirt of.

I chuckle at the fact that I love some of the over-emotional hardcore that I listen too...extremely dramatic stuff like From Autumn To Ashes and Thrice. Dorky, I know, but so pleasurable...

As far as metal goes, I think Children of Bodom are terribly cheesy, but they still rock my balls off! And although many people won't agree with me, I would count In Flames and Soilwork in this category, too...I dunno...I love guitar harmonies, but something about this whole melodic death metal resurgance makes me laugh. Those bands rock, but I have more trouble taking them extremely seriously.

So, what about everyone else?

P.S. I AM NOT TRYING TO DISS ANY BANDS...SO DON'T GET MAD...EITHER PLAY ALONG OR DON'T POST...

However, something makes me think this will turn into a big fight...

Well...I don't feel guilty about any of the music that I like because it's my personal taste but....my friends always give me hell when I talk about listening to Motley Crue, LA Guns, Poison, Skid Row....or raunch rock like AC/DC...

 

[Nugent Goes AOL]

Good ones

And by the way, I don't feel guilty either...nor am I embarassed. But you know what I mean...

Also...how can I forget the mighty CRADLE OF FITLH?

I listen to plenty that isn't metal and that metal fans might have little understanding of *shrugs* for instance Loreena McKennitt & Nick Cave

I like alsorts from a lot of styles, the only things I'm not so keen on is freeform jazz & c&w

Haha, I actually listen to them, myself. Well, their new stuff I really don't like but they have put out some good music in the past.

 

[Nugent Goes AOL]

haha yeah...I listen to them to. I was being serious when I suggested them.

The first album I heard by them was "Dusk...And Her Embrace." In fact, that was the first extreme metal album I heard. I still think it was a great album and it paved the way to other great bands for me.

 

[Stinkfist]

Rhapsody!

 

[LordPaul]

CoF, hmm, first time I heard of em was back in 1994 before 'The Principle...' was released.
I was quite impressed with em, the keyboardist wearing a goat's head was inspired

 

[Verago]

Hmmm, Moonsorrow, maybe...

 

[TyrantOfFlames]

I can tolerate some pretty mediorce stuff. I have a few mediocre CDs. I'm not really embarrassed about anything I actually like. Usually I get the most flak for my interest in Ministry. But if I could find a ministry shirt, I would pay double the price for it, so I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed. Then again, I don't get embarrassed easily. Now that I think of it, the last time I was even remotely embarrassed was when I noticed that my Hitler Idiot shirt attracted so much attention. I like the shirt, but I don't like all the attention.

my #1 guilty pleasure song of all time though is the Knack's My Sherona

I love Moonsorrow! I never thought of being embarassed about them, but now that you mention it they are kind of cheesy. With all of the fake blood, and in one of their videos the people in the crowd are holding up little plastic viking hats!!

 

[Elysian Blaze]

Type O Negative, Sneaker Pimps, Weezer, Korn.

Flame away.

I would list Cradle here, but I don't consider them to be a guilty pleasure... yet...

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Cradle of Filth, some black metal, Helloween, some other stuff

These are bands I won't play in the car unless i'm alone, simply because of cheese

Kyuss is the ultimate of refine cheap thrills.

Incubus. Brandon Boyd has the coolest voice, and Jose Pasillas is one of the best funk-rock drummers today.
