Musical Guilty Pleasures

Post by Solidarity 9-6347 »

i know there's been a thread like this one before, but it just occurred to me that i actually enjoy listening to the melody themes in Outkast's "Hey Ya", something that i previously would have regarded as an act sure to reserve me my own place in music elitist hell. :oops:. i feel as if this revelation warrents the resurrection of a formerly dead topic and i don't feel like sifting through pages of past threads

Yeah, Outkast is my guilty pleasure. But then again, it's kind of hard to find someone that hates their music that can say more than, "Omigawd, I hear that Miss Jackson sawng soooo many times I want to be gagged with a spoon," or something. I just wanted to say "gagged with a spoon" really.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I always seem to like a couple songs off all the Blink 182 albums even though I know I shouldn't. Except their new cd I dont feel as guilty, they collaborated with the lead singer of the Cure on one song and its a great song too...or at least thats how I justify it heh.

Hah, yeah. It's kind of embarassing to admit I love Adam's Song and Stay Together For The Kids, but those are two amazing songs. Hell, the lyrics are amazing, so what the hell, there's nothing wrong with liking it. And come on, you have to like Robert Smith touching anything.

And I do really like that New Found Glory song where they have Matt and Dan from Alkaline Trio singing on it. I haven't listenend to it in months, which is good.

I like Christina Aguilera. She has no fashion sense, her music isn't always my style, but her voice is amazing. So I occassionaly listen to her.
