duran duran!i v got their whole discography n i still like them.their debut is in my list with my favourite albums ever...

I love almost anything that is 80's new wave. My friends can't stand it, but they are a bunch of Deadheads so who cares what they think.

(blushes) I don't mind U2, even though they are lamer then a cripple convention.

how is U2 lame? i think they're descent!

A more recent one
Kelly Rowland- Work

Does anyone else love "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus? To these ears, it's the best faux-rock pop song since "Since U Been Gone."

Dude, you just won. Seriously.

I kind of like a few Beyonce songs. There. I said it. I also un-ironically like the B-52s.

Haha, what do I win? Contempt from my peers?

Comments like these in this thread get my goat much more than any snarky comment in the sacrilege thread.

Sorry MJ. Before I joined metacritic, most of my exposure to older music came through a vaguely hipsterish friend and my parents. Said hipster was particularly punishing toward the B-52s, and when I admitted I liked, was pretty shocked. I always thought that public opinion towards them was negative, thus the unironic comment. I really do like them.

Recently, I've had the impossible urge to listen to 'Hysteria' By Def Leppard.

I'm very concerned, particularly as I've always ridiculed the song Animal with it's indecipherable chorus line -

An-ah-wo,
An-ah-nee,
An-ah-lurh,
An-i-muhh

Should I seek professional help?

I feel ya.

I will admit to my guilt. On my Ipod, I currently have and occasionally listen to:

Black Eyed Peas - Both the full albums of Monkey Business and Elephunk. I really only like a few songs total, but for some reason I leave both on. I especially like the song "Gone Going", which features an unholy collaboration between Will.I.Am and Jack Johnson.

Blink-182 - Dude Ranch is probably one of my 100 favorite albums and I listen to it regularly. I can always play the "Travis Barker is a really good drummer" card.

Buckcherry - I feel great shame in paying $.99 for the single Crazy Bitch.

Kelly Clarkson - I bought the CD Breakaway for my daughter, but stole it out of her room in the cover of night, burned it to iTunes, and returned it without anyone being the wiser.

Fall Out Boy - I have both From Under the Cork Tree and Infinity on High and listen to the latter occasionally and the former regularly. I feel like I should be too old and too wise to actually like this kind of music, but I can't help it.

Kid Rock - I really like Devil Without a Cause. Is this legal?

Limp Bizkit - Both Chocolate Starfish (what a stupid name) and Significant Other have some tracks that I like (especially the rap tracks with Xzibit and Method Man/Red Man). I pray at night that I'll wake up and my ears will not be able to stand this music, but alas my prayers have gone unanswered.

Barry Manilow - Yikes. Some things should't be admitted to, even anonymously on a message board. Me and Mandy like to listen to Barry at the Copa.

George Strait - I actually own all of George's studio albums, a few greatest hits albums, at least one multi-disc complilation, and a Christmas CD. I kind of like him . . . a little.

Sugar Ray - I don't really feel guilty about liking Sugar Ray, but I probably should. Their pop tracks make me long for summer, the beach, and a cooler of Coronas. Their attempts at metal (yes, you read that right) make me want to jam a pen through my eardrums.

The funny thing is, when my friends or family are around, I would rather have any of the above shuffle up than something that is acceptable on a message board, like Sunset Rubdown. The last time I played Neutral Milk Hotel for my wife, she just looked at me with concern and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Some guilty pleasures of mine:

Hootie and the Blowfish- Fairweather Johnson. I love this. I dusted it off the other day to see if it still moved me, and it is still good, better than the debut, which was also "fine". They get kicked around a lot and made fun of but this album is really good i feel.

Alanis Morrisette- Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. God, I hope I'm not alone. Don't even attempt to listen to her other stuff, but this is so good...better than Jagged for sure. An unrealized gem of an album.

I'm not alone, it would seem. That is comforting. But how do I cope with my fondness for George Formby, Cannibal Corpse and the Bloodhound Gang?

This is beginning to sound like I have BAD taste in music. Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead!

Well, i remember that i destroyed the record and threw it in a shore....so no

I can't do that. I don't think I've ever destroyed any of my music collection.

I always think there must've been a reason why I bought it, so I'd best keep it just in case it turns out to be 'a grower'.

It's probably good for people like me that Adolf Hitler never released a hit album.

Also - thank God I never bought anything by Gary Glitter.

Nothin' guilty about liking Cannibal Corpse.

Have you seen their lyrics? I feel like I need a bath after reading them! If the music wasn't so irresistably rich in impossible guitar riffs and brutality, I don't think I'd be quite so forgiving.
