Guilty musical pleasures....mmmm

Wolftone

Come on, I know that you're a hardcore metal fan but, admit it, there's a Steps song that you secretly like? Or that you like to listen to The Carpenters when nobodies around....?

What's your deepest darkest musical secret? You know, the musical equivalent of chocolate when you're on a diet?

I'll go first.

I just love brass bands. 

There. You know now.

Your turn

the first I can understand and dont consider it a guilty pleasure at all,   the latter is a different ball game, unless its the christmas ones.......... those northern "colliery" things.....NO NO NO  especially when they do 'brass version of modern songs" 

I dont have anything Id consider 'guilty'  or that Im "ashamed of"   - that I can think of anyway  - tho some would possibly consider banjo/bluegrass music to fall into that category (those that've never tried to play one anyway !!  )

Nothing I'm really ashamed of, but I remember with fondness and still enjoy the music my parents played when I was a child.

My father played Glenn Miller and Al Jolson, my Mama trad Irish music

Good stuff

I once depped on guitar (at short notice) for a country band at the East Coast country music festival.

I met the band on the Thursday evening in the bass players front room and did the gig on the Saturday. It was a hoot and I enjoyed the music (nice harmonies/pedal steel) as well as the back stage atmosphere. I even met several other 'local' players I didn't expect to be in country bands. A great day, I have never before or since played in a country band.

This, except my dad played Toto, Def Leppard, Steely Dan and lots of other good stuff in the car. My mum doesn't really listen to music all that much (well, unless it's coming from somewhere else in the house. She puts up with a lot )

Seriously though, so much of the stuff I listen to comes from my dad. Indirectly, I suppose, he actually got me into metal. He doesn't like much of it himself, but he played me "Enter Sandman" when I was 12 and I kind of went from there...

I guess the taste in cheesy 80s rock that I've picked up from my dad would be a guilty pleasure. I also quite like Wham, although mainly because I enjoy playing along to it on bass. Really good lines... catchy tunes too.

Oh, and Ice Cube and early Eminem.

mine is bluegrass banjo

if I'm guilty of anything at all, it's not playing the banjo often enough

I love it, but don't quite find enough time..

Always cite that as one of my main influences too long in the tooth to be cool with my musical taste

Cindi Lauper. What of it?!

I don't have guilty pleasures, since I'm not guilty about liking anything I like. I find it a bit of an odd concept to be honest… 

(I also like the Carpenters, Neil Diamond, Wham! and Cyndi Lauper.)

I do occasionally feel guilty about *not* liking some music/artists who you're "supposed to like" and who probably are good or great, but for some reason I just don't get or who irritate me. But it's just personal taste and I don't really care that much.

Dunno bout musical pleasures but i have a serious one for a pink hello kitty strat - the one with the kitty scratchplate.
I hate myself for it but i cant help it.
