My guilty Guilty Pleasur is @1:20
The1st time I heard them, it was on the Nationally Syndicated show "Dr. Demento" (later heard from its origin 94.7 KMET FM in Los Angeles on Sunday nights, when I moved back to Calif. in 1977), and they were called "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo". easier said than "The Ogden Edsl Wahalia Blues Ensemble Mondo Bizzario Band" :p I used to be able say that pretty fast many years ago! :D
No guilt - only pleasure
Once I started looking at music like this, my whole world changed.
ABBA - Dancing Queen
what a groove and vibe... you can do a masterclass on just the bass and drum tracks alone.
If it wasn't a pleasure, it wouldn't be on my playlist.
My guilty pleasure is the Residents. Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands of all time and I have no guilt listening to them. My dad gave me the CDs from “Only a Lad” to “Dead Man’s Party” when I was around five. Easily one of my biggest musical influences.
we have something in common ))
Predominantly grunge, prog, and metal, with a ton of jazz and trip hop to round it out for me....but the second I hear the first downbeat of "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake, I'm hopeless. Gets me every single time. Just an infectious groove.
mostly into art rock, tech death, free improv..
mine is duran duran
Vivaldi - Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, "Winter" (L'inverno)
Diamonds - Riannha
I love how unabashedly bizzare Igorrr is. I never pass up the opportunity to play them in social gathering and just watch friends/family become alarmed and confused. 😂
On another note, I discovered 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' by Gordon Lightfoot after his passing last year. I don't know how this piece of history eluded me as a Minnesotan but I listened to it a ton last year and learned about how Gordon would often attend memorial services with the deceased crew's family members. His music is way out of my ballpark but I'm grateful for having discovered it. RIP.
I mostly listen to rock and electronica, but there are certain other songs that absolutely hit me in my soul.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know
and lately Jack Harris - Be Careful What You Wish For
I could go on and on
Flamingo by Kero Kero Bonito - introduced to me by a teenage girl. 😆I'm into mostly punk, metal, prog, etc. but I was like... alright, I can't act like this isn't good.
The hours I've spent alone bopping to that are unreal
Love the long hair, looks good man
My list is predominantly heavy metal, rock and alternative/prog, but I get so much joy when Wilson Phillips pops up. It just makes me feel good. And some songs that always make me smile are Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves and What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
For me it would be Too High for the Supermarket by the Uninvited. Cracks me up every time I hear it.
Thievery Corps..❤❤❤
I don't think I really have any guilty pleasures with all the music I have, but there are a couple things that come to mind with albums I bought or bands that I chose to get some music from that I didn't really get because I already enjoyed them, per se, but more like I wanted to have them for my collection.
For example, I was born in 1996 and even though I had older siblings, no one in my family were big into Nirvana. I had heard some of their singles over the years and they just sounded like an edgy, but iconic band. I obviously *knew* they were loved, and I knew that they deserved to be loved, I just didn't care for them, and at times, I was an ignorant snob and would say I thought they were overrated. I mean, I loved me some Soundgarden, AIC, and Pearl Jam; that's good for the grunge genre, right?
Well one day after graduating high school I decided that I should expand my collection to get some bands that are iconic. Maybe i'll listen to them, maybe I won't, but at least I can say that I have some of their work. I got Nevermind and In Utero and decided to give the famous Nevermind a listen... and I enjoyed it! And then I really liked In Utero, too.
So all of a sudden, Nirvana went from this band that I would tell people "eh, they're not for me," to "I used to dislike them, but then I _actually_ listened to their work. They deserve the love they get!"
It's funny, but the same thing happened with Metallica to me. I only ever heard some of their more famous singles on the radio over the years, but never decided to get into any of their albums. Same as with Nirvana, I decided one day that I enjoy their singles, so why the hell not get some of their albums for my collection? Well, I think it was 2016 or so, but I decided to grab like _SEVEN_ of their albums all at once. I found them for pretty cheap, and Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and the Black Album are ALL iconic Metallica records. Yes, I also picked up Load and Reload... and truth be told, probably just because I heard them at the same time as their iconic earlier albums, I really enjoy Load & Reload as much as their earlier work! I've listened to Metallica just as much as Ozzy, Black Sabbath, and so many artists that I grew up listening to, and am so happy that I decided one day to stop being a prude and just grab their albums.
Same thing happened with Slayer. I just decided one day to pick up 2 of their albums and loved them.
There's a handful of bands that I have in my collection that aren't a guilty pleasure because of who they are, but because of how I got into their music. All it took was for me to actually listen to more than what the radio pushes!
I don't think I have a song that really fits that definition, but I actually had a conversation about this yesterday at work, so I guess that's a reason to share.
I sometimes feel like Evanescence is a guilty pleasure. I shouldn't. Amy Lee is a great musician and no one will deny how special her voice is. But a lot of Evanescence songs have melodramatic lyrics, simpler instrumentals than my prog metal brain enjoys, and occasionally I wonder if Amy could even expand her vocal techniques a bit. But overall, they have a good sound and I don't like that I sometimes feel like they're a guilty pleasure.
As for songs, I recently discovered several mash-ups on UA-cam that mix several pop artists like Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Dua Lipa with stuff from Meshuggah, Periphery and Tool. And I could not believe how cool they sounded. The rhythms and tempos obviously have to match up well, and they do. It is wild to listen to, and it almost makes me wonder if I care about lyrics at all. If you want to see what I mean, you can look up the Katy Perry/Meshuggah or the Ariana Grande/Periphery videos.
Besides realizing that Metal IS my guilty pleasure, I've always listed "The 3 O'clock as my guilty pleasure. After a night of Balls to the wall hardcore headbanging, it's an absolute pleasure to listen to something soft on the way home.
While I'm a big prog rock, classical and jazz fan, sometimes I enjoy a simple synth pop tune, like Men Without Hats or Ladytron. Simple isn't necessarily easy. For some reason I also enjoy the VERY 80s "One of the Living" from Tina Turner (Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome). It's full of ridiculous 80s clichés, but it rocks hard.
Favourite bands Queen, bad English , mr mister , work of art, lionville
Guilty pleasure live to tell by Madonna. Love the atmosphere and story telling
A swedish band called Svenne-Rubins! Really fun and witty lyrics and actually underrated musicians.😊
You know exactly what I mean when I say "Space Time" off the Gojira 'Terra Incognita' album!
David Guetta - Titanium
I'm a metalhead but that one is such a banger
Mine is Carnival by Natalie Merchant. Haunting voice and guitar. As soon as I hear the opening, I'm in...
Like has been said all Music is a pleasure.. I am and have always been Rock/Metal in my musical taste… In fact I’m the only in my family that listens to the Rock/Metal genre.. My guilty pleasure is Depeche Mode’s song “Enjoy the Silence” in fact I have a special playlist of different mixes and covers of the song .. Fantastic Listening ..
Started with rock but then I heard Frankenstein on the radio. The synthesizer hit me like a ton of bricks. Now for that "I JUST NEED ONE SONG RIGHT NOW" is Entheogenic - Planetary Medicine. (Headphones only of course.)
Never any guilt. Do wanna mention I listened to the transformers the movie ost (80s animated) today and there are some fackin bangers on there for sure.
Fantomas!
Mikey Cyrus We can't stop.
“Holding Back The Years”- Simply Red
Dracula by Iced Earth studio version
Thank you Geebz
When friends and acquaintances scroll through my CD collection, most are surprised to see The Tragically Hip well represented among the prog rock, heavy metal, hair metal, thrash, and such. Also, Sturgill Simpson.
I think I have a genuine, unapologetic appreciation for basically all the music I like, whether it be Nirvana, game/anime/movie soundtracks, metal, Idolmaster songs, or the Spongebob AI rap artist known as Glorb, but I can name a few things that perhaps count as guilty pleasures:
"Violence" by Grimes,
"Southern Discomfort" by Eyehategod,
And one or two Greta Van Fleet songs (I normally dislike anything "classic rock")
Norrlåtar - sista brevet från liikawaara Frans... a Swedish folklore from the Northsweden!💥🤛
Goldfinger - Superman is the one song that does it for me.
The nostalgia and smiles I get every single time I hear it. Just so damn good every time.
But the answer I’ll give you is anything Les Claypool does. My guilty pleasure and weirdness all in one vibe. Whether it’s Primus, solo Les, Claypool Delirium, or any number of other things he’s in… it’s gonna be ass kicking and weird every time.
Why would you feel guilty about that song. It’s iconic!
Empire of the Sun (I'm a hard rock/metal guy, Rush is my #1)
I love classic rock, thrash metal, primus, Mr. Bungle, and Frank Zappa....but the one I feel weird listening to now is Danzigs first and second albums. I ain't into no witchcrafty bullcrap, but the production on those were friggin great.
My guilty pleasure would me Chela - Romanticise
it's such a good song
Maybe wired for sound by cliff Richard. But it's still a banger. 😊
D.A.D. (Disneyland After Dark) - "D-Law" (Disneyland Law)!
Whip It, Whip It Good😁
Monkey's Uncle by Annette Funicello and the Beach Boys
I can't come up with an answer if I'm to adhere to the 'guilty' qualifier, so I'm changing it to 'unexpected'. Then, my answer becomes Royal Blood's _Honeybrains_ .
A friend only told me it was "two dudes, a bass, and a kit. Also a twist". I've no idea how I haven't heard them until recently, cause they're awesome.
I really love “The Sundays”. Yep, kinda pop. The song Here’s Where the Story Ends brings me back to a time in my life that other songs don’t 😀
Love The Sundays. All three albums are great.
Not a guilty pleasure but recently I rediscovered Shakira's earlier albums. I especially like her stuff that mixes arab and/or latin folk elements. Ojos Asi is a complete banger.
Also, Danny Elfman being a "guilty" pleasure is a pretty hot take. 😅
Alice Cooper - Hello Hurray. From the album Billion Dollar Babies. I'm a metal head, but now and again you need a palate cleanser and for me it's "Hello, Hurray." Alice Cooper is timeless.
One song that almost always ends up on my playlist over the past 30 years is Worlock by Skinny Puppy. Dunno about obscure just a different time when it came out depending on your scene.
I am a hardcore metal head. But being in HS early 80's there is one song that makes me stop. 'Ah Leah' by Donny Iris. BTW, 1982, Oingo Boingo played at my HS Prom. Yeah, crazy, huh?! South Bay So Cal area near Redondo 😊
Grimes
My most honest answer is that I feel zero guilt about anything I listen to, no matter how widely panned by anyone else.
Born in the 70s, formative years in the 80s, rocked through the 90s and 00s, and I'm still sampling new, eclectic forms of music, as time continues.
A lot of my taste was influenced by my Mom's taste, and she listened to everything from Joan Baez & Janis Ian to Guns N Roses & Black Sabbath to The Doors & Talking Heads.
So I simply take pleasure in all forms of music, depending on what mood I'm in.
However, with that said...
I would never be singing along to say....Prince, Cyndi Lauper, The Temptations, Neil Diamond, etc...when I know my more metal-oriented friends are coming over.
And I'm not going to be blasting Behemoth, Horse the Band, Slayer, Agnostic Front, etc...when someone I know who has lighter tastes is stopping by.
I tend to curate playlists based on visitors overall taste, basically.
Oingo Boingo truly _is_ great. Lately mine's been anything circa 1978 The Cars, particularly anything Ben Orr sings😻✨
I don't do guilty pleasures. However I do acknowledge when my tastes enter the absolute absurd, such as the music of Deuandra T. Brown, Japanese Torture Comedy Hour, and any songs that the channel "goregrindcannibalism" puts out.
Anyway, hope you're well, Geebz.
Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus is definitly on my guilty pleasure playlist.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah 💜
There is definitely more than a couple, but if I had to pick one.
Sleep is Wrong by SleepyTime Gorilla Museum.
Sometimes in my sea of progressive both in metal, rock and also game soundtracks, there are some tracks by Marina. One step down said that Level 42's most pop songs, because when they started they were quite fusion and even a lot of instrumental, then came the music aspect for the radio haha.
Hard to say because my taste ranges from thrash and prog metal to alternative and classic rock. However, a little left field for me is some Italian pop, rock style music like Lucio Dalla and Vasco Rossi, which is influenced from my heritage although being born in Australia.
. . . . ONE!?!
I guess for a Metalhead and a Progger who also listens to Classical, Jazz/Fusion and Soundtrack Scores . . .
Pretty much any; Carpenters, Bread and ABBA track :p.
Btw - I "agree", the longer hair looks good on you! I'm 60, and mine is just below my shoulder blades, a _bit_ of salt and pepper but mostly still coffee colored (and no receding hairline :). Though the bottom of my goatee is mostly white now :/.
Death Grips, it’s hard to capture their pure guilty pleasure sound with one song, but I would probably nominate Hacker. Anyone else have ideas?
Tears for Fears-
The working hour.
So much goodness.
Last couple days. “7empest” TOOL. And “Impossible Tightrope” Steven Wilson.
Dimmu Borgir for me, but most of the stuff I listen to is obscure 🤷♂
Starship- Jane.
Only a little guilt, 'cause it really is just so good!! Neneh Cherry Buddy X
A Little Respect by Erasure 🎹
So, there is this kind of obscure band out of Charleston, South Carolina called "Jump, Little Children". Geebz has actually reacted to them before -- somebody asked him to react to what's probably their second most popular, but entirely ho-hum, produced for car radio song, "Mexico". The person requesting could have asked for really amazing dynamic songs like "Cathedrals" or "Mountains So Grand" or beatniky "Singer" or lovely "New Life" -- but instead went with the equivalent of, something akin to "Can't Buy Me Love" -- not the song you'd really want to single out if you were, say, trying to sell someone on The Beatles. So, yeah, I'm guilty for really liking a group Geebz gave a very polite "Hated it!" review to. 😅
Geebz, have you ever thought of doing an "honorable mentions" segment? Songs that you already know but are worth hyping for the people who don't.
Laurentian Ghosts by After the Burial always gets me hyped
Dirty Window from Metallica’s St. Anger. To be honest I like the whole album 🤷♂️
Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
Guilty pleasure would probably have to be Sugar Ray. Grew up on the Big Shiny Tunes albums so some of those still hit the spot.
Recently Electric Light Orchestra and William Onyeagar
Is this love by Whitesnake. Typical 80s vibe with a cool intro, nice melody (duh dah ding), & killer guitar solo
There's no guilt when the nest is empty! I can play whatever I want. My Playlist is definitely eclectic, old songs, new, instrumentals,a capella. I just love music.
I don't have anything that I would consider a guilty pleasure, but I think the only artist that ever truly spoke to me without being rock or metal is the Swedish musician "Ayla". Her songs are mainly reggae focused, but also incorporate variations of pop and hip-hop within them. Great listen
Donovon woods
Judas Priest: Stained Class from Judas Priest: Stained Class. Is a song I love from my teens but is so dated now it's terrible to play in public.
The Time: Jungle Love
Definitely got one of those goin on right now! I love music in almost all genres but never really liked the baroque artsy fartsy artists like Kate Bush or nick cave. But I came across The Last Dinner Party recently and I'm hooked on On Your Side.
Some nu metal songs (from Pleymo f.e.) and somewhere in the depths of my liked songs playlist on Spotify there are some punk rock, emo (I think?), metalcore (the more cringe kind) representatives here and there, which I can't bring myself to delete, even though I never listen to them nowadays, they're there just for the memories.
For me, as a huge metalhead, I just love I Got A Brand New Combine Harvester by The Wurzels. Can't help but smile when that comes on. Totally out of left field for me for what i usually listen to
Never heard of that, but I have to check it out just based on the track name
I normally listen to mostly metal. Bands like CoF, dissection, devin townsend, beyond twilight, dark funeral, adagio, symphony x, dimmu borgir, opeth, running wild, DT, periphery and so on. Mostly drawn to progressive stuff though. And of course some bach and chopin when I feel like it.
But here are a few examples songs/bands that is outside of what I normally listen to but that I sometimes find myself listening to.
Armed love militia - stormwinds (I just find fairuza balks voice enticing and the song is chill)
Astral projection - mahadeva
Cutting crew - died in your arms tonight
Hall and oates - out of touch
Jamiroquai - virtual Insanity
(=
Maybe Craig David - Fill Me In
America by Red Box 🎵 🕺
I'm a big fan of prog, fusion, jazz, metal, and early punk. However, I also actually really like early to mid 1980s era R.E.M. Does this count?
Trippie Redd - Geronimo ft Chino Moreno. Deftones is my favorite band, so maybe not that surprising, but overall it's mostly an R&B/Hip-Hop track and Chino's feature is relatively short, but I do like the overall vibe of that song. Don't really care for hip-hop generally though. Some of the Polyphia tracks with rappers would be in that same vein as well.
probably someone like Jennie Lena for me
Madonna is my guilty pleasure. 80s pop in general.
Hey - I’m old too and don’t know how else to comment! 😂 You should do some Wilco!!! I found you watching TOOL and all that - Wilco is totally different and I’d love to see that! Please please please do some Wilco!!!!!!!!
Siouxsie, Devo, The Tubes, The Baby's, Madness, Donny Iris, Adam Ant... And I'm an East Bay Exodus, Metallica, Death Angel, Deftones kind of girl. :) \m/ Have a great week everyone!
hard question but, being a hard rock , punk and metal kinda a guy, i got a soft spot for 80’s goth female singers. love that stuff. try listening to “PANDORA( FOR CINDY) by the COCTEAU TWINS
The One That Got Away - Katy Parry
My listening is mainly hard rock, metal and prog with a sprinkling of Broadway musicals.
Basstripper - In the City
The pop music I listened to when I was very young! Is We Like to Party very silly? Yes - but it sounds like the 90s, and it's a joyful little nostalgia bomb.
Still Valley II by Northumbria, its in my Metal playlist, its a nice break
Mine would have to be Testament - Return To Serenity
Klaus Nomi. Specifically, "Lightning Strikes".
It's so damn weird, and I can't watch the video without crying of laughter... but I constantly catch myself singing "LIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHTTTTNING STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIING AAGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIN!"
ua-cam.com/video/tJdljxrvPqo/v-deo.html
I don’t have anything on my playlist that’s a guilty pleasure because if it’s on my playlist, it’s good. Simple as that. Hit me baby one more time.
chippi chappa on repeat 10 hours don't lie lololololol
oingo boingo are really good, Danny Elfman is a great film composer
