guilty pleasure music

[del...]

but it was cher who did bang bang...flip side of needles and pins before her gypsys, tramps and thieves saga...

Cher Lyrics
Bang Bang


Bang bang, you shot me downBang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful soundBang bang, my baby shot me down
I was five and you were sixWe rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black, you wore whiteYou would always win the fight
Bang bang, you shot me downBang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful soundBang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the timeI grew up, I called you mine
You would always laugh and sayRemember when we used to play
Bang bang, you shot me downBang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful soundBang bang, my baby shot me down
Music played and people sangJust for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gunWe both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone I don't know whySometimes I cry
You didn't say goodbyeYou didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, you shot me downBang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful soundBang bang, my baby shot me down

yea but nancy sinatra did that song on the kill bill soundtrack....

i listen to a tribe called quest, the police, and the b-52s

but honestly, my friends dont' like most of the music i listen to

[Dick Justice]

I should also list Frank Sinatra, the Mills Bros (like 1930s shit), some Glen Miller stuff that gets me laughed at, John Prine, Elliot Smith and the Velvet Underground. I'm not really ashamed of it, it's music I enjoy, but these are the things that I can't play when I have friends over because they'll only gripe.

Well, I have like two friends who listen to Velvet Underground.

Otis Redding is awesome. Nothing to feel guilty about there.

Beck here, as well--Loser.
Anything by Prince--especially the 1999 album and Erotic City
Doris Day--Everybody Loves a Lover
Porn Music--that's my favorite....you know, the funky bass and all that shit? I have CD's FULL of porn music! LOL

Prince? Sinatra, et al?! Neil Young?!? James Taylor!??!!?!?!? I can't see how these could qualify as "guilty pleasures" on any planet. Now, something like Jessica (or worse, Ashlee) Simpson would be a guilty pleasure, due to the complete lack of musical merit, but I'm having trouble accepting that some of the most iconic and influential artists from the twentieth century are on people's "embarrasing music" lists.
Now for my submission: I constantly rock out to Andrew WK, but am hard pressed to admit it. It's extremely one-dimensional music, but when you're talking about a big hairy guy in really dirty clothes who just likes to show up and party, one dimension is all you need.

Hey--I have NO shame in my musical pleasures! I get a lot of "eye rolling" from my husband, but no shame on my part! Yep, I agree that many of the artists listed in this thread have pure, raw talent--which is why we like them!

How about if I say....Gerardo, of "Rico Suave" fame? Well, that's the only song of his I know....okay, how about Vanilla Ice???

[w4terb0ng]

i can't even build up a laugh for that one.
