Guilty Pleasures?

Hey gang,

I want to ask if any of you have bands/artists that you might be embarrased to admit to?

Now, you know that you can tell the fellow By-Torians anything so don't be ashamed around us.

Since I started this thread, I am going to see what develops and then (promise) will let you know my guilty pleasures. :-D

ohhhhh my goodness, all the 'today' music (that's now yesterday) i've fallen prey to..

let's start w/ Dream, Dido, Pink, Vanessa Carlton..& i think that's it? they're not bad, i don't listen to them much anymore, but as a supposedly 'true' rocker, it's embarassing to admit to them! :P

ok, next!

There is absolutely nothing that I am embarrassed about listening to...

If I like it, then I couldn't give a monkeys what anyone else thinks...

I really love ABBA, and don't care who knows it :D

I have very diverse tastes: Gordon Lightfoot to Pink Floyd, Christian pop to AC/DC, Barry Manilow to Yes, Cat Stevens to Led Zeppelin, John Denver to Jimi Hendrix, Bread to Meatloaf :tongue3: , The Carpenters to The Doors, Garth Brooks to The Who, The Platters to The Beatles, and the list goes on and on.

So some of them are guilty pleasures. I have a CD case that seems to have been packed by a schizophrenic! :confused2:

I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, but, I love bluegrass and consider Bill Monroe my number two musical hero behind Rush. I love all the 80's crap you care to name, except a few hair bands and Bon Jovi, bleah. :lol:

My tastes vary quite a bit from classical to country from time to time, depending on my mood. (I don't own any country cds though) I heard "Rock On" today by David Essex I really like that song and haven't heard it in ages. Mostly I'm a prog rock, hard rock, acid rock kind of guy though. Xan turned me onto "Tangerine Dreams" which is cool to.

Nothing wrong with that! Music is the only legal mood-altering drug and you just don't happen to want to go where Bon Jovi leads. Bet you go some places I wouldn't dare to tread too, but then... maybe not. Love of music can take you to some strange places!

As the Memeister said earlier..... Rock On!

I saw Bon Jovi years ago and they put on a brilliant show!
