I think Crash has the best sense of humor in the whole world. It's like he 100% just......gets it. Like, life in general. He's unlocked all the secrets of the world and he just laughs himself stupid....I worship this mysterious enigma.
Seeing HIM here made me happy. Kinda shocking to hear they're not loved in the Goth Rock and Metal scene. I still spin their songs when I'm in the right mood at night. \m/
A lot of people into gothic metal are also into HIM, they were one of the bigger bands when I got into the sound. But of course there's a lot of back and forth because only like 3.5 of their albums fit into the genre (and that's if you squint, too).
It's kinda sweet to have an old Rick Astley still singing his signature song in that clip. Somehow he's still around, not swept away by the sand of times. He's living his best life.
An hour and 15 minute crash top 10 video? I’m fucking here for it. I know you keep saying that you’re going to stop making hour long episodes but I’m happy you haven’t been able to commit to that lol. The hard work you put into each and every one of these is greatly appreciated.
Speaking as a really big Bizkit fan, you kinda hit it on the head as far as how a lot of us feel, though it feels like you just so happen to be on the other side of the coin. A recurring theme with the Limp Bizkit renaissance is how a lot of fans essentially embrace Fred Durst's absurdity and how that, for better or for worse, makes the band's identity. You can have a band with Borland, Rivers, Lethal and Otto but Durst is what gives it its identity, and your enjoyment of the music hinges a lot on your ability to be taken along for the ride. To some, there's an element of nostalgia to that brand of dudebro douchebaggery that some can potentially be reminded of simpler time in their youth, and to others it could just be such a hilarious stark contrast to the instrumental work. Fred is a silly man, this no one can dispute, but (at least until Results May Vary) he was mostly just having his own fun and I think joining in on that fun is how a lot of us enjoy the band.
*deep breath* I like Young and Menace because, especially when viewed alongside the music video, it becomes an anthem about overcoming things like anxiety and autism, as well as surviving in an environment that makes your life harder because of it. The audio distortion techniques throughout the song are like the mental noise I sometimes find myself surrounded by. It honestly sounds like the thought process of someone with a chaotic brain rising up and finding a path.
Funny, I have the exact opposite reactions with the same conditions. I'm autistic and can be quite sensitive to certain noises and when the electronic instrumentals hit I find myself like, mentally attacked.
Y’know… I’m autistic and suffer with anxiety and maybe that’s the reason I don’t completely hate Y&M. Like… it’s objectively bad, and it’s disheartening (though at the time not surprising) that FOB would make a song like that, but I at least get what it was going for and can even appreciate parts of it. The drop kneecaps it pretty much dead though. I feel like many songs exist that can do what it was trying to do better.
15:17 From what I’ve heard, he wasn’t necessarily “human trafficking” in the way we usually think about it. He would take people on international tours with him and drop them off in other countries so they could live there without needing to get full citizenship to get in.
So far as I'm commenting now, my guilty pleasure songs are "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC cause I was hooked line and sinkered in as a autistic kid and as an adult I still love listening to it whether it's the OG or a metal cover and imagining a Edgar Wright or Tarantino action scene with this song playing syncing up to the punches and gunshots. Most of the songs in "Miami Connection" cause they are funny but catchy 80s bops.
"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys is one of my guilty pleasures. I don't like them (or many boy bands in general), but man that song's catchy
At this point Rick Astley doesn't even feel that guilty anymore. It was always kinda guilty even back when he was huge but by now, I think we can all admit we don't hate being rickrolled. My favorite Rick Astley song is "Hopelessly". It's just a nice little love song.
I don't have guilty pleasure songs as I do guilty pleasure artists. They're categorized as such: "Guilty" Pleasures: Nickelback Doja Cat Madonna Dethklok Cardi B Il Volo Britney Spears Lady Gaga Guilty pleasures: Limp Bizkit Journey Blink-182 Fall Out Boy Paris Hilton Counting Crows Shameful artists: R. Kelly Marilyn Manson
Those first two Counting Crows albums are legitimate classics. (edit) I'll also still Stan Antichrist Superstar, even if it's uncomfortable to listen to now, what with all the sexual abuse allegations.
HIM was a band, that resonated with people who were heavy into the Jackass and CKY crowd, Bam Margera essentially made the band extremely popular...the logo anyway
Ayyyy another Songs About Jane defender!! High five! A number of the bands featured here, like Buckcherry, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, and even a little Bizkit, are bands I have no qualms saying I dig. I can understand what turns people off about them, but I find at least their early material genuinely decent and the bands genuinely competent. It's why I don't consider them "guilty pleasures", but just genuine pleasures. And that's why I've sort of been trying to ease that term out of my vocabulary, but I'll still find myself attributing it to the kind of stuff that is _SO far_ out of my general wheelhouse that people who know me wouldn't expect me to say anything at all positive about it. I made a guilty pleasures countdown 6 years ago (and have plans for an eventual follow-up) and that was pretty much my only criteria. Also, I'm with you on Rick Roll, that shit hasn't pissed me off... ever. I _always_ thought it was a genuinely killer pop song.
Here are mine: 10) Freefaller - Good Enough For You 9) Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok 8) Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On 7) Whitesnake - Is This Love 6) Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High 5) Poison - Talk Dirty To Me 4) The Offspring - Want You Bad 3) Westlife - What About Now 2) Train - Hey, Soul Sister 1) Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World
As a HUGE HIM fan I lost it when you got it number one,I was so happy to see you talk about them, I've followed you for year's and didn't even know if you liked them, great to know you do, didn't realize my second favorite band is a guilty pleasure band but oh well, rock on Crash and keep up the good work 🤘🤘👍
I LOVE HIM TOO! this band is just amazing. And to answer Crash's question on why we love HIM so much, I've only got two words for him (pun intended haha)... VILLE. VALO.
Okay just off the top of my head Britney Spears - Everytime (this is a genuinely great song in it's own right and In The Zone deserves a reappraisal) Here Without You - 3 Doors Down Shimmer - Fuel Marron 5 - One More Night Skater Boy - Avril Lavigne 1985 - Bowling for Soup Freak On a Leash & Blind - Korn Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger Bring Me Back to Life - Evanescence Happy? - Mudvayne Disturbed - Stupify Tear Away - Drowning Pool Spit It Out - Slipknot
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me think I just included them because when I was growing up listening to them they were yet to have the same appreciation they have now but yeah I agree they're far from bad songs
I think one of my biggest guilty pleasures would have to be "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. For as much as flak the song (as well as the band in general) gets over the years, I actually had a soft spot for the song. And I was in the edgy phase where I dogged on the band without even listening to any of the songs in full. And having listening to their discography with a more open mind, I can admit that there are a small handful of songs I kinda liked. Sure, they're not the deepest band out there and majority of their songs are simplistic to a fault. But, I still have a soft spot for the rock scene in the early 2000's, cheesy and dated as it may have been.
I never got into HIM, but that speech you gave at the end was amazing, man! I kinda feel the same way about Sevendust: they never got super huge, their style hasn't changed all that much over the last 25 years, and I've never run into anyone in my day-to-day life who even knows who they are (aside from my friends, who only know because I never shut up about them lol)... but there's something special about them that I'll never be able to let go of. they have plenty of genuine talent, they're highly respected by the rest of their peers in the metal community (their lead singer Lajon was even in Corey Taylor's video for CMFT Must Be Stopped), and they're all genuinely nice dudes who love everyone, despite how dark their music can get. also, from what I've seen on Facebook at least, they have one of the most respectful, open-minded, and non-toxic fanbases in the entire music industry. try saying that about any other fanbase (I'm looking at you, my fellow Tool & Mars Volta fans... you fuckers need to chill out)
Awwww I love Adelitas way 😭 Here are some of mine Just the girl- The Click Five In The End- Black Veil brides Lit up- Buckcherry 40 oz- BrokeNCYDE Breakfast at Tiffany’s- Deep blue something My first kiss- 3OH!3 Stray cats strut- Stray cats Burn burn - (N/A)
Limp Bizkit got lazy, they were always really, really goofy but their first two albums are full of ambition with some stellar musicianship - then they just seemed to give up. Maybe fame went to their heads and they thought any old shit was gold.
Great video! Here are some of my biggest musical guilty pleasures, in no particular order though: Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5 One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head Don't Trust Me - 3OH!3 Fireflies - Owl City Ding Dong Song - Gunther I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf Axel F - Crazy Frog Burnin' Up - Jonas Brothers Something Just Like This - Coldplay and The Chainsmokers
@@rayanna7188 Glad someone else agrees! Like, regardless of how you feel about the Jonas Brothers, you have to admit they did have a couple serious bangers back then with Burnin' Up being the biggest example of such. It really is no surprise that it became their biggest hit back in the day.
I listened to The Sacrament and Right Here in My Arms on repeat in high school. I never checked out HIM's other stuff, but I'll make sure to catch up now. Great video ☺️
I could definitely relate with the Chainsmokers - Closer speech. It's been nearly a year and still recovering from that last relationship. Staying single and safe feels like the right thing now.
My Guilty Pleasures Anything by Bizkit Oops I Did It Again Famous- Puddle of Mudd Bring Tha Noize- Public Enemy/Anthrax Blue Monday-Orgy Wild Boy-MGK/Waka Flocka Flame Miseria Cantare-AFI Cherry Bomb-Tyler, the Creator Edit: I don’t know how I never finished this video but oml, HIM’s Wings Of A Butterfly was a nightly lullaby for me as a baby. Absolutely love that song.
I think it's just because it was on the soundtrack to Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, but I have a huge soft spot for Puddle Of Mudd's Famous. It isn't even close to great in the slightest, but something about it just hits something to me. Also Maroon 5's second album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, also has some absolute gems on it, notably I Won't Go Home Without You. I unashamedly love that song!
My favorite Limp Bizkit song I'd still in my truck when I get my system fixed... 1. Boiler 2. Re-arranged 3. Take a Look Around 4. Don't go off Wondering 5. My Way
My guilty pleasure song is Rollin by Limp Bizkit because it was used as American Badass Undertaker’s theme. And I am a massive SIMP for the Undertaker.
HIM were such a big deal in the 00's rock scene yet no one ever talks about them anymore. I never thought of them as a guilty pleasure but that would explain why they seem to have been forgotten.
Don't normally comment on videos, but going to pitch in with my own top 10: 10. Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars 9. Breathe - Hands to Heaven 8. Martika - Toy Soldiers 7. The Veronicas - Untouched 6. Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply 5. Billy Joel - Uptown Girl 4. Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me 3. The Corrs - Breathless 2. Laura Branigan - Gloria 1. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder on the Dance Floor (if I had to pick one...I could put most of her discography on this list)
@@BisexualMajima56 Personally, the Bliss Mix doesn't do it for me, just because they changed nothing else about the song. It's kind of jarring and throws off the flow.
@@macabremanscape3226 I understand that. I typically don't listen to the song super often anyway. The meme sort of killed enjoyment for me to an extent but also it's not their best song imo. Even the same album has better songs.
@@macabremanscape3226 speaking of, I honestly wouldn't mind Paul appearing on another Evanescence song, but as long as he doesn't try to "rap" and he actually tries to sing instead.
Great video as always Crash ! This was a lot of fun. I've been aboard the HIM train since the Love Metal album and, oh boy, what a trip. HIM is pretty much a Black Sabbath cover band doing love song for teenage girls... but it's heavy as fuck. Seriously, the riffometer is in the red on Venus Doom. It's that good, people.
Crash, man, I just wanted to give a genuine thank you for introducing me to HIM through this video. I gave them a listen right after and they've already become one of my favorite bands. If the music brings you joy, or at least emotional resonance, there's nothing guilty about that.
My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures: 1). "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys 2). "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion 3). "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys" 4). "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes 5). "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed (was popular at Drunk Karaoke nights in college) 6). "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls 7). "All or Nothing" by O-Town 8). "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne 9). "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 (I respect the message of the song. And Cardi B's rap verse is honestly fire. It's worth listening to for that alone.) 10). "Beverly Hills" by Weezer (It's actually a good song and off a good album, fight me.)
Yeeaah, I like some of HIM's stuff. I'm old enough now to admit it. And I have many problems with christianity, but I loved MxPx and Slick Shoes as a kid. Seriously "Far From Nowhere" by Slick Shoes is amazing. VERY metal for an early 2000s skate punk band.
I believe in God myself & yeah some Christians are pretty judgemental but just know that we're all NOT like that. and yeah I'm not a fan of Christian rock (or Christian music in general), but I do like a little bit of The Letter Black, Flyleaf, etc.)
I don't like to admit it either. But Blurry is that one moment that Puddle of Mud it right. Wes sounds good and the instrumentation is impactful. It all comes together quite nicely.
10. Methods of Mayhem - Crash 9. Crazy Town - Butterfly 8. Sonique - It Feels So Good 7. Limp Bizkit - Nookie 6. Puddle of Mudd - She Hates Me 5. Godsmack - I Stand Alone 4. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem 3. Van Halen - Without You 2. Metallica - Shoot Me Again 1. Trapt - Echo
For me, I honestly enjoyed Coldplay's first two or three albums even if they basically tried to be Radiohead Lite. With Crash's enjoyment of Limp Bizkit minus Fred, I feel the same with Creed. I will always love the instrumentation even if Scott's lyrics and singing were meh. As someone from Georgia who appreciates its strong music history, I'll happily play a B-52s song right after some Pantera or Soundgarden. To flip from Phil's screaming to "Get in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's ABOUT TO SET SAIIIIL!"
I can relate to liking meme songs unironically. I genuinely love two of them, both from Moldova: Dragostea din Tei by O-Zone (Numa Numa) and Run Away by Sunstroke Project and Olia Tira (Epic Sax Guy) are just gloriously upbeat pop songs that I find always lift my spirits. It probably helps that the O-Zone song was massive during some of my happiest days when my husband and I were young, daft and madly in love. (We are still daft and in love but middle aged now).
I actually found a vinyl copy of Dragostea din Tei the single at a flea market and I snatched that shit up as soon as I saw it. It's a song I still bop to lol.
Great video Crash! I'm the same way about Never Gonna Give You Up. Whenever I got Rick Roll'd back in the day, I didn't even get mad lol. I heard it come on the 80s SiriusXM station at a store on the overhead a couple months ago, and I just laughed and my first thought was, "Wow, I just got Rick Roll'd... in 2021."
My guilty pleasures (in no order) 10. Creed-To Whom It May Concern 9.PSY:Right Now (early Psy and so catchy) 8.BIS: Eurodisco 7.Kelly Clarkson:Behind Hazel Eyes 6.Slashs Snakepit:Back To The Moment 5.Hardcore Superstar:Someone Special 4.OPM:Stash Up 3.Good Charlotte:Little Things 2.Crazytown: Drowning 1. Bloodhound Gang: A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying
I guess if I had a "guilty pleasure" I wanted to share, it would be that I really like the Country band Rascal Flatts. See, I used to watch the Disney/Pixar film _Cars_ a lot of times when I was younger, (around 4 years old when it came out) and their cover of "Life Is A Highway" was one of my favorite songs as a kid. My dad became a fan of Rascal Flatts too. I have a great memory where on Father's Day 2017, I gifted my dad with a CD of their new album from that year. He played the album while bringing me and my sisters back home after brunch, and he thanked me after the first track concluded. My dad was my best friend. He gave me Queen's greatest hits at around 2015 and that encouraged me to collect more albums and become a bigger fan of many different genres. He passed away in his sleep the day after Christmas 2018 at only 56 years of age. Rascal Flatts will always have a special place in my heart because of that memory.
10. Oasis - all around the world (the best Album everybody hates i love this more than i should, no, i don't do Coke) 9. Sum 41 - in too deep (man These programmed Drums...) 8. Katy Perry- Hot n Cold (It's beyond dumb anders beyond catchy) 7. The offspring - cruisin California (that was rightfully the final nail in the coffin for most former fans. To me this is the best katy Perry parody ever) 6. Miley cyrus - Party in the USA (i hate this one for being so catchy) 5. The bloodhound Gang- Mope (just the most random thing ever) 4. Right said Fred - you're my mate (drinking song about shitty breakups? I'm in) 3. Bon jovi - It's my life (thanks for showing me this midlife crisis anthem, dad) 2. Scooter - Move your Ass (They Are a German Techno Band with...interesting lyrics. They had about 30 high charting songs in germany and they were hated a lot for dumbing Down the Genre but they were Good Sports about it) 1. Limp bizkit - hot Dog (i know every Single word and i won't apologize. The Music slaps as always and Durst is just way too unintentionally hilarious)
Here are some of my guilty pleasure songs: Old Town Road - Lil Nas X I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly Headstrong - Trapt Untitled - Simple Plan Hey, Soul Sister - Train High Hopes - Panic at the Disco Despacito Baby Shark Hotline Bling - Drake
I’ve said the same things about Train that you did in this video in my personal life. They’re so bad now that when I first heard “Meet Virginia,” I had no idea it was them. I liked it when I heard it and was shocked that Train did it. Now, though I still like the song, I still acknowledge it had problems, and the songwriting is still kind of clunky. But it’s just so much better than anything else they did after Drops of Jupiter that I still stick up for it. EDIT: I just realized that I admitted to talking about Train in my personal life, which I’m pretty sure is not normal and has probably been done more times than is normal for anyone. 😂
THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS Crash, I remember last year when you put out the poll for your last "I Hate This Song" video, and one of the choices on it was "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd. Now I'm curious. Did you actually like that song back then? Do you have a love-hate relationship with it? Did you always like it? If that song had won, what would you have said about it in your video? Would you have been willing to make a whole video of just you lying about your feelings on this song for twenty minutes? I'm so confused about this and would love an explanation.
Got into PAX217 freshman year of college, loved that first album and played the shit out of it..... Comes to stand as 311 is my favorite band hands down, nicely done
10. Eminem-Just Lose It 9. Bloodhound Gang-The Bad Touch 8. Britney Spears-Toxic 7. Kesha-Tik Tok 6. Limp Bizkit-Rollin 5. Nickelback-Animals 4. Maroon 5-This Summer 3. The Neighbourhood-Sweater Weather 2. 50 Cent-In da Club 1. Buckcherry-Lit Up
this was a really fun video. i was half expecting you to bring up the buffalax fake translation when talking about tunak tunak tun since thats where i found that song ages ago. xD my personal top 5 guilty pleasure songs: nickelback - feed the machine (your fault btw) limp bizkit - the truth saliva - lackluster houkago tea time (from k-on!) - u&i max coveri - running in the 90s
I still love revisiting this video three years later, I think it's worth interrogating why we have guilty pleasures and what still draws us to them even when they fall clear outside of our tastes otherwise. To comment on a few specific entries on the list: "Never Going To Give You Up" is just unapologetically 80s pop in its purest form and I love hearing the classic stations keeping this one well in rotation. "Drops of Jupiter" is still the best song Train has ever done imho and honestly also love when this pops up on the classic stations. And finally, I get it with both "Closer" and "Blurry": they're not only the only songs I actually like, never mind love, by the Chainsmokers and Puddle of Mudd respectively, but they're also enigmas in their respective discographies that demonstrate a weird amount of emotional awareness and how to perfectly convey those feelings in the moment. I don't know how reliable of narrators either group are for their songs, but I get it.
Limp Bizkit first 2 album will be always my guilty pleasure. Yes, after the 3rd one is complete downfall, but honestly Significant Other is well played and thought. And you Crash, you corky man, you actually made me curious about Buchcherry first album.
Honorable Mentions: Songs About Jane feels like a reverse Kill Em All. A crossroads first album where the band could have gone in a very different direction. Like, tell me Harder to Breathe doesn't lead them to being a semi-legitimate hard rock band. 10. The first Foo Fighters record I bought was In Your Honor, because of the single Best Of You, and I have the same meme relationship (the best, the best, the best, etc.) It's still one of my favorite songs of theirs, but goddamn, memes have elevated and subsequently slaughtered so much decent to strong songs. 9. Albino Blacksheep is definitely it's own genre of music. A whole lot of System of a Down -esque music. 8. Shame Queens of the Stone Age got lumped into the whole Butt-Rock genre. 7. Surprised you weren't going with Switchfoot after that lead-in. Some chart topping, retrospectively awful stuff that still gets in your head from time to time. The band and scene has aged really badly, but Meant To Live in all of its trashy glory comes on and the head starts banging. 6. I can't get behind you with this one. I really liked Train in my late teens, and had the inverse relationship to Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle as Train: once I paid attention to the lyrics, everything changed. It just drags every song of theirs down so much (except for 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, mostly because it's absurd enough to almost work.) 5. Limp Bizkit is an okay band with decent instrumentation and one of the worst singers of all time. I'm not even a huge fan of theirs, but over the years, I've come to appreciate them for how good everyone but Fred is in the band, and how otherwise pretty okay their music is. 4. The instrumentation just destroys this one for me. There's a lot of Deadmau5's stuff that hits a lot better and in the same vein for me. Stuff like Raise Your Weapon or I Remember still bang, even though it definitely feels very dated. 3. Billy Ray Cyrus's aesthetic is so weird. Every time I see him perform from his early days, he's dressed up like Mike Patton. 2. Blurry is one of the most nostalgia packed songs that just trips me down such a memory rabbit hole. The guitar cuts in, and all I can think of is coming home from school in 2003, watching G4, playing on my PS2. Man, that shit just hits. And it has nothing to do with the actual song. 1. I always like the audio aesthetic, but I could just never get into HIM. Part of it was the early mental ties to Viva La Bam. That whole scene just somehow kinda missed me.
I love HIM, & it's okay if you can't get into them. and yeah I feel the same way about Limp Bizkit too. I kinda gave them a lot of crap before, but now that I'm older I realize that the members of Limp Bizkit aren't bad (well except for Fred Durst, I can't stand the guy), & I actually have a few guilty pleasures from them.
22:41 I just wanna take a moment and tell people to listen to both Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia and Mother Love Bone - Apple. Woefully underappreciated bands out of Seattle in the late 80s-early 90s
Great vid, entertaining as always. Number 9 had me stunned. I've never seen anything so vividly... that. Lol. I don't think I have a top ten off the top of my head. I don't really feel guilty about anything I listen to, though there are things I don't play around certain people because I know they won't like them or understand them. There is one thing though I have no trouble admitting is probably not a great song yet I will always treat it like it is and enjoy ever second of it: Thunder by Imagine Dragons
To be fair, it is tied to one very specific night from my past, but “For The Movies” is probably one of my favorite songs. Also, I am the owner of two Heartagram tattoos myself from roughly 2006 and I still don’t regret them.
"Dignity is for suckers"? Yeah, I feel you. When I was the age you were with your nu-metal stuff, it was the early 90's. Add to that the fact that I'm German, and ... let's just say I still have a CD single of "Scatman's World" somewhere. Not "Scatman", mind you - the *followup* single. I'm also a proud owner of the entire Roxette discography, and I honestly wouldn't even call that a guilty pleasure - though your comment about second singles made me look back at those albums, and you've hit upon something there. In order from "Look Sharp!" through "Room Service": "Listen to Your Heart"; "Fading Like a Flower"; "Queen of Rain"; "Crash! Boom! Bang!"; "Anyone"; "Real Sugar". (Most Americans will probably never have heard anything listed after the first two songs, come to think of it...)
Over here in the U.K., Train is considered a One Hit Wonder and it's because of Drops of Jupiter. I genuinely love What's up ! I have a soft spot for H.I.M. I can't explain it.
Balls to the walls no regret. My 10 guilty pleasure listens. 10. Beyblade intro song - let's beyblade 9. Pour some sugar on me - def leopard. 8. Chu chu lovely - Maximum the hormone. 7.

Yo, Crash. That one PAX217 song placement made me hope that you'd hopefully do a list of "christian bands you actually dig" And ye, Limp Bizkit's first album and TUTPT.1 are still bops
I love a few tunes by Limp Bizkit, but #1 has to be "My Way". Whether it's the connection with Wrestlemania 17, former teenage angst or just how hard it fucking goes. Always puts me in a terrific mood hearing that tune
I think Crash has the best sense of humor in the whole world. It's like he 100% just......gets it. Like, life in general. He's unlocked all the secrets of the world and he just laughs himself stupid....I worship this mysterious enigma.
Maybe you should get together and 69 each other!
Seeing HIM here made me happy. Kinda shocking to hear they're not loved in the Goth Rock and Metal scene. I still spin their songs when I'm in the right mood at night.
\m/
In my experience with the Goth scene, HIM is very well regarded, they're one of my favourite bands ever.
A lot of people into gothic metal are also into HIM, they were one of the bigger bands when I got into the sound. But of course there's a lot of back and forth because only like 3.5 of their albums fit into the genre (and that's if you squint, too).
I’ve known quite a few people who like HIM, they’re genuinely great.
Ill never leave you. If you get close enough maybe you will feel happy.
Yea cause they are known as a Dark Rock band.
It's kinda sweet to have an old Rick Astley still singing his signature song in that clip. Somehow he's still around, not swept away by the sand of times. He's living his best life.
Loved the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia reference with The Trashman. Danny DeVito is a national treasure.
I like Person of Interest.
He wasn't half bad in "Matilda"
An hour and 15 minute crash top 10 video? I’m fucking here for it. I know you keep saying that you’re going to stop making hour long episodes but I’m happy you haven’t been able to commit to that lol. The hard work you put into each and every one of these is greatly appreciated.

I like Young and Menace because, especially when viewed alongside the music video, it becomes an anthem about overcoming things like anxiety and autism, as well as surviving in an environment that makes your life harder because of it. The audio distortion techniques throughout the song are like the mental noise I sometimes find myself surrounded by.
It honestly sounds like the thought process of someone with a chaotic brain rising up and finding a path.
Funny, I have the exact opposite reactions with the same conditions. I'm autistic and can be quite sensitive to certain noises and when the electronic instrumentals hit I find myself like, mentally attacked.
Y’know… I’m autistic and suffer with anxiety and maybe that’s the reason I don’t completely hate Y&M. Like… it’s objectively bad, and it’s disheartening (though at the time not surprising) that FOB would make a song like that, but I at least get what it was going for and can even appreciate parts of it. The drop kneecaps it pretty much dead though. I feel like many songs exist that can do what it was trying to do better.
Drops of Jupiter kills me because of the line about fried chicken LMAO
15:17 From what I’ve heard, he wasn’t necessarily “human trafficking” in the way we usually think about it. He would take people on international tours with him and drop them off in other countries so they could live there without needing to get full citizenship to get in.
Yeah, “human trafficking” is a bit of a misnomer. Honestly what he did sounds pretty cool
That’s a relief
Still illegal but not as bad as I thought... at least I hope not
oh okay, I was thinking of something way worse
So far as I'm commenting now, my guilty pleasure songs are "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC cause I was hooked line and sinkered in as a autistic kid and as an adult I still love listening to it whether it's the OG or a metal cover and imagining a Edgar Wright or Tarantino action scene with this song playing syncing up to the punches and gunshots.
Most of the songs in "Miami Connection" cause they are funny but catchy 80s bops.
Same man, nice to know I wasn't the only autistic kid who feels that way about music...
"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys is one of my guilty pleasures. I don't like them (or many boy bands in general), but man that song's catchy
At this point Rick Astley doesn't even feel that guilty anymore. It was always kinda guilty even back when he was huge but by now, I think we can all admit we don't hate being rickrolled. My favorite Rick Astley song is "Hopelessly". It's just a nice little love song.
I don't have guilty pleasure songs as I do guilty pleasure artists. They're categorized as such:
"Guilty" Pleasures:
Nickelback
Doja Cat
Madonna
Dethklok
Cardi B
Il Volo
Britney Spears
Lady Gaga
Guilty pleasures:
Limp Bizkit
Journey
Blink-182
Fall Out Boy
Paris Hilton
Counting Crows
Shameful artists:
R. Kelly
Marilyn Manson
Those first two Counting Crows albums are legitimate classics.
(edit) I'll also still Stan Antichrist Superstar, even if it's uncomfortable to listen to now, what with all the sexual abuse allegations.
@@Jaspertine Counting Crows switched to decaf after Mr. Jones
HIM was a band, that resonated with people who were heavy into the Jackass and CKY crowd, Bam Margera essentially made the band extremely popular...the logo anyway
Ayyyy another Songs About Jane defender!! High five!
A number of the bands featured here, like Buckcherry, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, and even a little Bizkit, are bands I have no qualms saying I dig. I can understand what turns people off about them, but I find at least their early material genuinely decent and the bands genuinely competent. It's why I don't consider them "guilty pleasures", but just genuine pleasures. And that's why I've sort of been trying to ease that term out of my vocabulary, but I'll still find myself attributing it to the kind of stuff that is _SO far_ out of my general wheelhouse that people who know me wouldn't expect me to say anything at all positive about it. I made a guilty pleasures countdown 6 years ago (and have plans for an eventual follow-up) and that was pretty much my only criteria.
Also, I'm with you on Rick Roll, that shit hasn't pissed me off... ever. I _always_ thought it was a genuinely killer pop song.
I remember always hearing “Wings of a Butterfly” on my mom’s shower radio
Here are mine:
10) Freefaller - Good Enough For You
9) Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok
8) Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On
7) Whitesnake - Is This Love
6) Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High
5) Poison - Talk Dirty To Me
4) The Offspring - Want You Bad
3) Westlife - What About Now
2) Train - Hey, Soul Sister
1) Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World
As a pretentious kind of music guy whose favorite band is Brand New, I don’t hate Hey Soul Sister. I actually kinda like it.
As a HUGE HIM fan I lost it when you got it number one,I was so happy to see you talk about them, I've followed you for year's and didn't even know if you liked them, great to know you do, didn't realize my second favorite band is a guilty pleasure band but oh well, rock on Crash and keep up the good work 🤘🤘👍
I LOVE HIM TOO! this band is just amazing. And to answer Crash's question on why we love HIM so much, I've only got two words for him (pun intended haha)... VILLE. VALO.
Here’s my top 10
10. I
9. Don’t
8. Like
7. Calling
6. Anything
5. Guilty
4. Cause
3. I’m not
2. Guilty
1. Hollaback Girl
Gwen Stefani is… Ahh
@@ducko5404 Still sorry she left she left No Doubt.
FEW TIMES I'VE BEEN ON THAT TRACK BUT IT'S NOT JUST GONNA HAPPEN LIKE THAT CAUSE I AIN'T NO HOLLABACK GIRL
Props to you defending "Words By Heart". Until this weekend, I thought I was the ONLY PERSON who remembered that tune! Great video!
I unironically like Never gonna give you up by Rick Ashley
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down.
Same
Me too
Don't we all?
That is a crime…..that I support
Okay just off the top of my head
Britney Spears - Everytime (this is a genuinely great song in it's own right and In The Zone deserves a reappraisal)
Here Without You - 3 Doors Down
Shimmer - Fuel
Marron 5 - One More Night
Skater Boy - Avril Lavigne
1985 - Bowling for Soup
Freak On a Leash & Blind - Korn
Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger
Bring Me Back to Life - Evanescence
Happy? - Mudvayne
Disturbed - Stupify
Tear Away - Drowning Pool
Spit It Out - Slipknot
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me shimmer is a fine song, but Happy is literally exactly like every sad white boy nu metal you ever heard lmao
I thought Flagpole Sitta was generally agreed to be good
@@thetonytaye is it really though? maybe it's just what I've kept hearing about Harvey Danger being mediocre
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me think I just included them because when I was growing up listening to them they were yet to have the same appreciation they have now but yeah I agree they're far from bad songs
Harvey Danger's first album is fucking awesome.
I think one of my biggest guilty pleasures would have to be "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback.
For as much as flak the song (as well as the band in general) gets over the years, I actually had a soft spot for the song.
And I was in the edgy phase where I dogged on the band without even listening to any of the songs in full.
And having listening to their discography with a more open mind, I can admit that there are a small handful of songs I kinda liked.
Sure, they're not the deepest band out there and majority of their songs are simplistic to a fault. But, I still have a soft spot for the rock scene in the early 2000's, cheesy and dated as it may have been.
Pfft. Guilty pleasure...THAT song is a secret national treasure in Canada.
I like it too, but I've definitely heard better from them
That is the best nickelback song I will say
Ngl I was guilty of overhating Nickelback too. but I do have to admit that Rockstar is an absolute BOP
You totally should have just made this an hour of Never Gonna Give You Up. I wouldn't even have been mad.
If this had been an April fool's day vid, absolutely.
@@CrashThompson You have an idea for next year. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
@@maymadisson6140 No, it has to be something nobody can and will expect!
Not yet, but almost.
I never got into HIM, but that speech you gave at the end was amazing, man! I kinda feel the same way about Sevendust: they never got super huge, their style hasn't changed all that much over the last 25 years, and I've never run into anyone in my day-to-day life who even knows who they are (aside from my friends, who only know because I never shut up about them lol)... but there's something special about them that I'll never be able to let go of. they have plenty of genuine talent, they're highly respected by the rest of their peers in the metal community (their lead singer Lajon was even in Corey Taylor's video for CMFT Must Be Stopped), and they're all genuinely nice dudes who love everyone, despite how dark their music can get. also, from what I've seen on Facebook at least, they have one of the most respectful, open-minded, and non-toxic fanbases in the entire music industry. try saying that about any other fanbase (I'm looking at you, my fellow Tool & Mars Volta fans... you fuckers need to chill out)
My favorite song by Sevendust is "Bitch" the soft quiet chorus is amazing and not something you'd expect from a band like Sevendust
Awwww I love Adelitas way 😭
Here are some of mine
Just the girl- The Click Five
In The End- Black Veil brides
Lit up- Buckcherry
40 oz- BrokeNCYDE
Breakfast at Tiffany’s- Deep blue something
My first kiss- 3OH!3
Stray cats strut- Stray cats
Burn burn - (N/A)
Limp Bizkit got lazy, they were always really, really goofy but their first two albums are full of ambition with some stellar musicianship - then they just seemed to give up. Maybe fame went to their heads and they thought any old shit was gold.
I still think break stuff slaps
No such thing as a guilty pleasure. If you like it, you like it.
Consider this though: I am a devout Christian. I absolutely love the band Ghost. I’d consider that a guilty pleasure of mine
@@josephrunkle3887 Ok, that makes sense. There are always exceptions to the rule.
I think Todd in the Shadows put it best. It doesn’t mean you’re ashamed of liking something just that you’re unable to properly defend it.
@@Merricat_likesu yeah exactly its the acknowledgement that just because you like it doesnt mean its good.
Unless you feel guilty for liking it, in which case it's a guilty pleasure.
Great video! Here are some of my biggest musical guilty pleasures, in no particular order though:
Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5
One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head
Don't Trust Me - 3OH!3
Fireflies - Owl City
Ding Dong Song - Gunther
I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf
Axel F - Crazy Frog
Burnin' Up - Jonas Brothers
Something Just Like This - Coldplay and The Chainsmokers
BURNIN' UP IS A GUILTY PLEASURE OF MINE TOO! I'm not a fan of Jonas Brothers at ALL, but dang they put their all into that song
@@rayanna7188 Glad someone else agrees! Like, regardless of how you feel about the Jonas Brothers, you have to admit they did have a couple serious bangers back then with Burnin' Up being the biggest example of such. It really is no surprise that it became their biggest hit back in the day.
I'm an old school goth kid and I love the fuck outta HIM. I got you!
Break Stuff goes really hard though. Love it.
I listened to The Sacrament and Right Here in My Arms on repeat in high school. I never checked out HIM's other stuff, but I'll make sure to catch up now. Great video ☺️
I could definitely relate with the Chainsmokers - Closer speech. It's been nearly a year and still recovering from that last relationship. Staying single and safe feels like the right thing now.
My Guilty Pleasures
Anything by Bizkit
Oops I Did It Again
Famous- Puddle of Mudd
Bring Tha Noize- Public Enemy/Anthrax
Blue Monday-Orgy
Wild Boy-MGK/Waka Flocka Flame
Miseria Cantare-AFI
Cherry Bomb-Tyler, the Creator
Edit: I don’t know how I never finished this video but oml, HIM’s Wings Of A Butterfly was a nightly lullaby for me as a baby. Absolutely love that song.
Dee-Lite "Grove Is In The Heart".
Too good to be a GP
I think it's just because it was on the soundtrack to Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, but I have a huge soft spot for Puddle Of Mudd's Famous. It isn't even close to great in the slightest, but something about it just hits something to me.
Also Maroon 5's second album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, also has some absolute gems on it, notably I Won't Go Home Without You. I unashamedly love that song!
That so was my favorite game to play from 17 to 20
My favorite Limp Bizkit song I'd still in my truck when I get my system fixed...
1. Boiler
2. Re-arranged
3. Take a Look Around
4. Don't go off Wondering
5. My Way
My guilty pleasure song is Rollin by Limp Bizkit because it was used as American Badass Undertaker’s theme. And I am a massive SIMP for the Undertaker.
Fuck yeah!
I like how you gave a shout-out to Black Light Burns, which really highlights how talented Wes Borland is
HIM were such a big deal in the 00's rock scene yet no one ever talks about them anymore. I never thought of them as a guilty pleasure but that would explain why they seem to have been forgotten.
I absolutely LOVE HIM! I wouldn't really consider them to be a guilty pleasure either
50:50 "We're all... big balls... sometimes" - Crash Thompson
Alter Bridge: The Creed it’s ok to like.
Creed minus the drama of Scott stapp
Don't normally comment on videos, but going to pitch in with my own top 10:
10. Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars
9. Breathe - Hands to Heaven
8. Martika - Toy Soldiers
7. The Veronicas - Untouched
6. Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply
5. Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
4. Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me
3. The Corrs - Breathless
2. Laura Branigan - Gloria
1. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder on the Dance Floor (if I had to pick one...I could put most of her discography on this list)
Breathe is a good childhood nostalgia guilty pleasure for me.
I checked them out and I am jumping on the HIM bandwagon. Thank you Crash.
YES YOU'RE PART OF THE FAM NOW! glad to know that you like them
41:45
Finally some Unquestionable Truth defense!
As an Evanescnece fan, yes the memeification of Bring Me To Life is just annoying now. It's not even their best song lmao
Right? At this point I listen to the studio version of BMTL so infrequently that I'm always caught off guard when Paul McCoy comes in.
@@macabremanscape3226 I prefer the bliss mix of it. It's the version without Paul McCoy. It was released on the BMTL single disc.
@@BisexualMajima56 Personally, the Bliss Mix doesn't do it for me, just because they changed nothing else about the song. It's kind of jarring and throws off the flow.
@@macabremanscape3226 I understand that. I typically don't listen to the song super often anyway. The meme sort of killed enjoyment for me to an extent but also it's not their best song imo. Even the same album has better songs.
@@macabremanscape3226 speaking of, I honestly wouldn't mind Paul appearing on another Evanescence song, but as long as he doesn't try to "rap" and he actually tries to sing instead.
Great video as always Crash ! This was a lot of fun. I've been aboard the HIM train since the Love Metal album and, oh boy, what a trip. HIM is pretty much a Black Sabbath cover band doing love song for teenage girls... but it's heavy as fuck. Seriously, the riffometer is in the red on Venus Doom. It's that good, people.
Crash, man, I just wanted to give a genuine thank you for introducing me to HIM through this video. I gave them a listen right after and they've already become one of my favorite bands. If the music brings you joy, or at least emotional resonance, there's nothing guilty about that.
My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures:
1). "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys
2). "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
3). "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys"
4). "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes
5). "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed (was popular at Drunk Karaoke nights in college)
6). "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls
7). "All or Nothing" by O-Town
8). "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne
9). "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 (I respect the message of the song. And Cardi B's rap verse is honestly fire. It's worth listening to for that alone.)
10). "Beverly Hills" by Weezer (It's actually a good song and off a good album, fight me.)
Yeeaah, I like some of HIM's stuff. I'm old enough now to admit it. And I have many problems with christianity, but I loved MxPx and Slick Shoes as a kid. Seriously "Far From Nowhere" by Slick Shoes is amazing. VERY metal for an early 2000s skate punk band.
I believe in God myself & yeah some Christians are pretty judgemental but just know that we're all NOT like that. and yeah I'm not a fan of Christian rock (or Christian music in general), but I do like a little bit of The Letter Black, Flyleaf, etc.)
39:27 THANK YOU! One of the best, and most undrrated tracks off of Significant Other.
I don't like to admit it either. But Blurry is that one moment that Puddle of Mud it right. Wes sounds good and the instrumentation is impactful. It all comes together quite nicely.
Great video crash! Gonna try HIM now thanks to it. Not the intent, i know, but let's go anyway.
No judgement here, Crash. You do you.
10. Methods of Mayhem - Crash
9. Crazy Town - Butterfly
8. Sonique - It Feels So Good
7. Limp Bizkit - Nookie
6. Puddle of Mudd - She Hates Me
5. Godsmack - I Stand Alone
4. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
3. Van Halen - Without You
2. Metallica - Shoot Me Again
1. Trapt - Echo
@@jeremyusreevu237 lol true
I also liked Crash, Butterfly, I Stand Alone, and Echo.
Radio Rock in the 2000's has always been a nostalgic piece for me.
I love, love, LOVE Sugar Ray. That feels good, that feels good
For me, I honestly enjoyed Coldplay's first two or three albums even if they basically tried to be Radiohead Lite. With Crash's enjoyment of Limp Bizkit minus Fred, I feel the same with Creed. I will always love the instrumentation even if Scott's lyrics and singing were meh. As someone from Georgia who appreciates its strong music history, I'll happily play a B-52s song right after some Pantera or Soundgarden. To flip from Phil's screaming to "Get in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's ABOUT TO SET SAIIIIL!"
I can relate to liking meme songs unironically. I genuinely love two of them, both from Moldova: Dragostea din Tei by O-Zone (Numa Numa) and Run Away by Sunstroke Project and Olia Tira (Epic Sax Guy) are just gloriously upbeat pop songs that I find always lift my spirits. It probably helps that the O-Zone song was massive during some of my happiest days when my husband and I were young, daft and madly in love. (We are still daft and in love but middle aged now).
YES I LOVE DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI! it's so silly but I love it so much. btw, I'm also glad that you & your husband are still together!
I actually found a vinyl copy of Dragostea din Tei the single at a flea market and I snatched that shit up as soon as I saw it. It's a song I still bop to lol.
Thanks for reminding me that Tunak Tunak Tan exists, I haven't heard that song in ages. I busted out laughing when it came up.
Great video Crash! I'm the same way about Never Gonna Give You Up. Whenever I got Rick Roll'd back in the day, I didn't even get mad lol. I heard it come on the 80s SiriusXM station at a store on the overhead a couple months ago, and I just laughed and my first thought was, "Wow, I just got Rick Roll'd... in 2021."
My guilty pleasures (in no order)
10. Creed-To Whom It May Concern
9.PSY:Right Now (early Psy and so catchy)
8.BIS: Eurodisco
7.Kelly Clarkson:Behind Hazel Eyes
6.Slashs Snakepit:Back To The Moment
5.Hardcore Superstar:Someone Special
4.OPM:Stash Up
3.Good Charlotte:Little Things
2.Crazytown: Drowning
1. Bloodhound Gang: A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying
Butt rock by any band not called Buckcherry should never be considered a guilty pleasure
Thank you, Crash. Really fun video, I seriously didn't laughed so much in awhile! Glad to have you back
I guess if I had a "guilty pleasure" I wanted to share, it would be that I really like the Country band Rascal Flatts. See, I used to watch the Disney/Pixar film _Cars_ a lot of times when I was younger, (around 4 years old when it came out) and their cover of "Life Is A Highway" was one of my favorite songs as a kid. My dad became a fan of Rascal Flatts too. I have a great memory where on Father's Day 2017, I gifted my dad with a CD of their new album from that year. He played the album while bringing me and my sisters back home after brunch, and he thanked me after the first track concluded. My dad was my best friend. He gave me Queen's greatest hits at around 2015 and that encouraged me to collect more albums and become a bigger fan of many different genres. He passed away in his sleep the day after Christmas 2018 at only 56 years of age. Rascal Flatts will always have a special place in my heart because of that memory.
i was more of a Korn fan growing up than Limp Bizkit, some LP tunes i dig, and at 37, i am still a Korn fan. 90s pop is my guilty pleasure
10. Oasis - all around the world (the best Album everybody hates i love this more than i should, no, i don't do Coke)
9. Sum 41 - in too deep (man These programmed Drums...)
8. Katy Perry- Hot n Cold (It's beyond dumb anders beyond catchy)
7. The offspring - cruisin California (that was rightfully the final nail in the coffin for most former fans. To me this is the best katy Perry parody ever)
6. Miley cyrus - Party in the USA (i hate this one for being so catchy)
5. The bloodhound Gang- Mope (just the most random thing ever)
4. Right said Fred - you're my mate (drinking song about shitty breakups? I'm in)
3. Bon jovi - It's my life (thanks for showing me this midlife crisis anthem, dad)
2. Scooter - Move your Ass (They Are a German Techno Band with...interesting lyrics. They had about 30 high charting songs in germany and they were hated a lot for dumbing Down the Genre but they were Good Sports about it)
1. Limp bizkit - hot Dog (i know every Single word and i won't apologize. The Music slaps as always and Durst is just way too unintentionally hilarious)
I love Hot N Cold too! that bridge is just so catchy to me
Here are some of my guilty pleasure songs:
Old Town Road - Lil Nas X
I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly
Headstrong - Trapt
Untitled - Simple Plan
Hey, Soul Sister - Train
High Hopes - Panic at the Disco
Despacito
Baby Shark
Hotline Bling - Drake
I forgot about drake, for some reason. Hotline Bling was good.
That Trashman skit had me rolling!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Did butt rock come from those radio stations that are like “*insert radio station here* NOTHING BUT ROCKKKK”
That's where I heard people got the term butt rock
I think that was it.
I’ve said the same things about Train that you did in this video in my personal life. They’re so bad now that when I first heard “Meet Virginia,” I had no idea it was them. I liked it when I heard it and was shocked that Train did it. Now, though I still like the song, I still acknowledge it had problems, and the songwriting is still kind of clunky. But it’s just so much better than anything else they did after Drops of Jupiter that I still stick up for it.
EDIT: I just realized that I admitted to talking about Train in my personal life, which I’m pretty sure is not normal and has probably been done more times than is normal for anyone. 😂
22:41 you forgot to mention 'Funeral For a Friend' on Terry Date's awesome resume.
THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS
Crash, I remember last year when you put out the poll for your last "I Hate This Song" video, and one of the choices on it was "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd. Now I'm curious. Did you actually like that song back then? Do you have a love-hate relationship with it? Did you always like it? If that song had won, what would you have said about it in your video? Would you have been willing to make a whole video of just you lying about your feelings on this song for twenty minutes? I'm so confused about this and would love an explanation.
Got into PAX217 freshman year of college, loved that first album and played the shit out of it..... Comes to stand as 311 is my favorite band hands down, nicely done
10. Eminem-Just Lose It
9. Bloodhound Gang-The Bad Touch
8. Britney Spears-Toxic
7. Kesha-Tik Tok
6. Limp Bizkit-Rollin
5. Nickelback-Animals
4. Maroon 5-This Summer
3. The Neighbourhood-Sweater Weather
2. 50 Cent-In da Club
1. Buckcherry-Lit Up
My Maroon 5 guilty pleasure is “don’t wanna know”. Not a fan of “This summer” personally.
Toxic is amazing. Sometimes I just listen to the instrumental because it's so fucking good
28:49 for screenshot purposes.
*Clears throat*
Ohio Is For Lovers
Re-Arranged has always been my favorite Limp song. Tbh, instrumentally, I’ve always liked Indigo Flow from the first album and later, Boiler.
this was a really fun video. i was half expecting you to bring up the buffalax fake translation when talking about tunak tunak tun since thats where i found that song ages ago. xD
my personal top 5 guilty pleasure songs:
nickelback - feed the machine (your fault btw)
limp bizkit - the truth
saliva - lackluster
houkago tea time (from k-on!) - u&i
max coveri - running in the 90s
I still love revisiting this video three years later, I think it's worth interrogating why we have guilty pleasures and what still draws us to them even when they fall clear outside of our tastes otherwise. To comment on a few specific entries on the list: "Never Going To Give You Up" is just unapologetically 80s pop in its purest form and I love hearing the classic stations keeping this one well in rotation. "Drops of Jupiter" is still the best song Train has ever done imho and honestly also love when this pops up on the classic stations. And finally, I get it with both "Closer" and "Blurry": they're not only the only songs I actually like, never mind love, by the Chainsmokers and Puddle of Mudd respectively, but they're also enigmas in their respective discographies that demonstrate a weird amount of emotional awareness and how to perfectly convey those feelings in the moment. I don't know how reliable of narrators either group are for their songs, but I get it.
I have to admit Limp Bizkit have 4 songs I like Counterfeit, Cambodia, Take a look around and their cover of Faith.
Also to add to my comments, definitely wouldn't mind seeing a "how to get into HIM" video, considering they don't have a bad album and are just great
Limp Bizkit first 2 album will be always my guilty pleasure. Yes, after the 3rd one is complete downfall, but honestly Significant Other is well played and thought.
And you Crash, you corky man, you actually made me curious about Buchcherry first album.
I love HiM with no guilt whatsoever 😊
Same here!! :)
Venus Doom was one of my fav albums of the 2000’s for a long while.
@@davchr214 Yeah, Venus Doom is amazing. My favourite is probably Razorblade Romance, but Venus Doom is amazing too
Same! Join Me In Death is such a bop!
Join Me in Death is a beautiful song. I love that song.
Right here in my arms, when love and death embrace, heartkiller!
49:35 nope I never had a relationship.
Honorable Mentions: Songs About Jane feels like a reverse Kill Em All. A crossroads first album where the band could have gone in a very different direction. Like, tell me Harder to Breathe doesn't lead them to being a semi-legitimate hard rock band.
10. The first Foo Fighters record I bought was In Your Honor, because of the single Best Of You, and I have the same meme relationship (the best, the best, the best, etc.) It's still one of my favorite songs of theirs, but goddamn, memes have elevated and subsequently slaughtered so much decent to strong songs.
9. Albino Blacksheep is definitely it's own genre of music. A whole lot of System of a Down -esque music.
8. Shame Queens of the Stone Age got lumped into the whole Butt-Rock genre.
7. Surprised you weren't going with Switchfoot after that lead-in. Some chart topping, retrospectively awful stuff that still gets in your head from time to time. The band and scene has aged really badly, but Meant To Live in all of its trashy glory comes on and the head starts banging.
6. I can't get behind you with this one. I really liked Train in my late teens, and had the inverse relationship to Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle as Train: once I paid attention to the lyrics, everything changed. It just drags every song of theirs down so much (except for 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, mostly because it's absurd enough to almost work.)
5. Limp Bizkit is an okay band with decent instrumentation and one of the worst singers of all time. I'm not even a huge fan of theirs, but over the years, I've come to appreciate them for how good everyone but Fred is in the band, and how otherwise pretty okay their music is.
4. The instrumentation just destroys this one for me. There's a lot of Deadmau5's stuff that hits a lot better and in the same vein for me. Stuff like Raise Your Weapon or I Remember still bang, even though it definitely feels very dated.
3. Billy Ray Cyrus's aesthetic is so weird. Every time I see him perform from his early days, he's dressed up like Mike Patton.
2. Blurry is one of the most nostalgia packed songs that just trips me down such a memory rabbit hole. The guitar cuts in, and all I can think of is coming home from school in 2003, watching G4, playing on my PS2. Man, that shit just hits. And it has nothing to do with the actual song.
1. I always like the audio aesthetic, but I could just never get into HIM. Part of it was the early mental ties to Viva La Bam. That whole scene just somehow kinda missed me.
I love HIM, & it's okay if you can't get into them. and yeah I feel the same way about Limp Bizkit too. I kinda gave them a lot of crap before, but now that I'm older I realize that the members of Limp Bizkit aren't bad (well except for Fred Durst, I can't stand the guy), & I actually have a few guilty pleasures from them.
Also I don't think Queens Of The Stone Age are a bad band, I genuinely like their music
22:41 I just wanna take a moment and tell people to listen to both Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia and Mother Love Bone - Apple. Woefully underappreciated bands out of Seattle in the late 80s-early 90s
Great vid, entertaining as always. Number 9 had me stunned. I've never seen anything so vividly... that. Lol.
I don't think I have a top ten off the top of my head. I don't really feel guilty about anything I listen to, though there are things I don't play around certain people because I know they won't like them or understand them. There is one thing though I have no trouble admitting is probably not a great song yet I will always treat it like it is and enjoy ever second of it:
Thunder
by Imagine Dragons
To be fair, it is tied to one very specific night from my past, but “For The Movies” is probably one of my favorite songs. Also, I am the owner of two Heartagram tattoos myself from roughly 2006 and I still don’t regret them.
Nice! I'm thinking about getting a Heartogram tattoo (or probably just drawing one on myself haha)
Tunak Tunak Tun was covered by Bloodywood and it's amazing!
They also did a really sick cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up."
33:00 - remember when Train remade “Led Zeppelin II” a couple years back? Yeah let’s never let that ever happen again
Crash’s reaction to that is hilarious!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
"Dignity is for suckers"? Yeah, I feel you. When I was the age you were with your nu-metal stuff, it was the early 90's. Add to that the fact that I'm German, and ... let's just say I still have a CD single of "Scatman's World" somewhere. Not "Scatman", mind you - the *followup* single.
I'm also a proud owner of the entire Roxette discography, and I honestly wouldn't even call that a guilty pleasure - though your comment about second singles made me look back at those albums, and you've hit upon something there. In order from "Look Sharp!" through "Room Service": "Listen to Your Heart"; "Fading Like a Flower"; "Queen of Rain"; "Crash! Boom! Bang!"; "Anyone"; "Real Sugar". (Most Americans will probably never have heard anything listed after the first two songs, come to think of it...)
Man I still put Roxette on from time to time I have a a ton of their stuff from back in the day :D
Oh god Scatman's World. Johan Pachelbel wishes he could use that chord progression as well as Scatman
Tunak Tunak Tun makes me have a big goofy smile on my face too. The happiness is infectious.
Over here in the U.K., Train is considered a One Hit Wonder and it's because of Drops of Jupiter.
I genuinely love What's up ! I have a soft spot for H.I.M. I can't explain it.
The only problem with Limp Bizkit are the lyrics. If you don't understand them they are more than decent.
Trashman was probably the biggest jump scare of my adult life thus far; but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Every Goth I know (myself included) adores HIM, HIM are amazing!
Proto-Hunkerdunkerdank, the new Hoobastank
I was a little surprised to see Blurry on here, especially since you were at one point planning to do an I Hate This Song on it.

Yo, Crash. That one PAX217 song placement made me hope that you'd hopefully do a list of "christian bands you actually dig"
And ye, Limp Bizkit's first album and TUTPT.1 are still bops
I love a few tunes by Limp Bizkit, but #1 has to be "My Way". Whether it's the connection with Wrestlemania 17, former teenage angst or just how hard it fucking goes. Always puts me in a terrific mood hearing that tune
Yeah, ‘My Way’ is one hell of a banger! 🤘🏻
