Kenneth R. said:You aren't alone in that sentiment. I can't stand NSBM bands, no matter what they sound like musically, simply because I know what they're trying to promote and I stand against it. It's cool that they feel strongly about something, but its not something I agree with. Same goes for satanic bands. Although, really both cases yield anfrom me, which I should probably feel slightly guilty for.
Well, for many "satanic" bands, it's an act and marketing gimmick, so I don't give a damn. I mean, that's a tradition that goes waaaaay back. People thought Paganini sold his soul to the devil to play violin like he did. He never denied it, and instead, dressed in black, grew his hair long, arrived at concerts in carriages drawn by black horses. Mystique is cool. Killing is not.

Most of my guilty pleasures so-to-speak are pop-music which I don't really listen to. There is sometimes a rap song here and there that I really like.
I could really compare my musical guilty pleasures to fast food. Sometimes it's really good, but just doesn't have the substance to keep me interested for very long.

From my understanding Faust was the only one to commit murder, and he's not even in Emperor anymore, and Samoth burned down a church but so what?
If you choose not to listen to bands because of their lifestyle choice, that's, well, your choice, but it's a pitty because you are missing out on some of the greatest musicians metal has to offer.
Also, listen to Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk and tell me that's not deserved every praise it's received. Fucking incredible work of art.

And to answer the thread I would have to say Tori Amos, but I still listen to her now and then.

Well, not feeling guilty about any of them, but here goes:
I really like (and also create) hardcore (not the metal-genre, more the electronic genre.) Artists like Ophidian, Mindustries, Hellfish, D'Spyre.
I listen to some hip-hop (Cypress Hill, NWA, early Snoop Dogg), electronic styles like drum n bass, triphop, bigbeats (like the Prodigy), i really like a dutch band called Blof.. I also like punk (Bad Religion, NoFX, Lagwagon, Ramones, Toy Dolls), and sometimes i listen to some (neo) classical. (Moussorgsky, Elend).
I think Coldplay is really good too, as is Sigur Ros, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, in fact, the only music i really hate is modern day R&B, where singers tend to sing as many notes as possible in between other notes, over a really lame beat, which is often ripped off from another song.
But mainly i listen to black/death metal, grindcore, hardcore (still, electronic) and doom-metal. Cool points for me

My uncle was a session guitarist with them, but so far as i know more or less every musician in the North East of England was at one point or another. And i know the original drummers daughter, so i've seen him with his current band Silver Machine. A bunch of 40 year old guys who probably could have made it (they are supremely talented) rocking out to all the greats, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Rainbow etc. Considering it was Stanley social club, it was one of the best gigs i've ever been to.
And Kate Bush is awesome, and sexy as hell.
