Metal - you're guilty pleasures

[ThraxSA]

Stryper, Deliverance, Tourniquet, Slipknot (for so called nu metal, they sounds pretty good Joey the drummer is one of the best drummers I have heard).

My wife got the Pussycat Dolls cd and I found myself singing to it and looking at the pictures on the booklet of course.

I Killed the Prom Queen - local Metalcore act who look like Emo's

Prom queen???! your friends were right, you are an emo!

as for guilty pleasures, i'm partial to a bit of kenny rodgers..... oh yeah and joey era anthrax

 

[sufferer]

I like Jimmy Buffett, would love to see him live one day. I even have a live DVD. His CD's come right after Biohazard in my CD collection. Yes I alphabatize my CD's, easier to find what you're looking for when you're hammered

Hey, MyHatred - you ever listen to John Zorn's project Naked City? They were out of their fucking minds! Rock to light jazz to grindcore - often in the same song. Their self-titled release is still one of my favorites. (Their other albums are harder to find - on smaller labels.)

Totally agree with you on George Benson as well - one of the greatest jazz guitarists out there. There's a high school kid on a small Illinois label, named Isaiah Sharkey, who's very much in the Benson vein in his playing. He did a solo when I interviewed him at the station that was totally improvised - almost had me in tears, it was so beautiful. If there's any justice in the world, that kid is going to be a mega-star.

Some great comments and bands/singers in here. Very true about not being ashamed - just rather things we get stick for listening too.

I really got a thing for old school musicians ala Mike Oldfield, Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis.

Ennio Morricone as well. John Williams.

If you mean, "Lemonade & Brownies", then yes, they did actually have some good stuff out there. 10 Seconds Down and Mean Machine were actually pretty kickass songs. Everything they have done after L&B......uke:

Yeah, I thought the video for Mean Machine ruled. My youngest kid sister were into them.

I always had a thing for Londonbeat. And I think Offsprings Ignition-album is quite good too. Skid Rows Slave to the grind and B-sides ourselves had some swinging stuff on them.

 

[Social Distortion]

The bands that I like that "true metal people" would never ever approve are Bon Jovi, Offspring and some others.

 

[Gibba]

I'm lying in bed listening to some old Motown hits right now. And it's nice.

 

[Mickenglanduk]

Arg Hamster, I just love the Batman beating the shark clip


As for myself, my non-metal musical pleasures include The Eagles, The Beatles, Queen, Sheryl Crow, Oasis, Pink Floyd and also I've been listening to quite a bit of old Status Quo just recently, that old shit just rocks

 

[Arg_Hamster]

Pink Floyd wrote some great stuff.

This is not a guilty pleasure at all, Sparks. Fucking brilliant!

 

[Mickenglanduk]

I certainly ain't guilty, people shouldn't be ashamed of the music they listen to. Music is only a sound after all

 

[karrokid]

@ Karro....I'm pretty sure you are gay

well maybe, i am listening to the bangels greatest hits right now

 

[ingenkommentar]

I love jazz, but that's not something I'm ashamed of, I just told you because jazz hasn't appeared here yet

Absolutely love jazz... the stinkier, the better. I absolutely love Miles Davis, Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk.

One guy I've never really been able to get into, though, is John Coltrane. I have his 4-CD "Live In Japan" set, and the first track sounds like he's blowing his nose through the saxophone at times.

Oh - let's throw Yes in the "guilty pleasures" column. Saw them in Chicago in 2002 - absolutely purest sounding concert I've ever been to in my life. I actually have the bootleg of that show. Marillion, too - I like the Steve Hogarth era a little more than the Fish. "Marbles" was fucking brilliant.

I love some of that stuff! The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder...etc.

 

[DarbysDad]

Hellz yeah!

After you do the whipping you can do the and :Smokin: :Smokin:

Right, and then the uke:

 

[eighteeschick]

I had to think about what would be considered a guilty pleasure because, like everyone else, I like what I like and that's it. Here we go: Puddle of Mud, AFI, Offspring, Rancid, Good Charlotte and my 80s hair bands.

 

[ITS AN OUTHOUSE!]

The only thing im actually embarassed about is video game music, like super nintendo/ genesis games (battletoads, thunder force IV, maximum carnage etc).
