I'm a fairly new member here…but it seems to me the board is full of musical elitists who scoff at anyone's idea of good music that doesn't jive with their interests.

So…that being said…who is your guilty pleasure that you listen to? This might have been done in the past. If so, I apologize. I'm just wondering if there are any Ace of Base fans there in the closet stuggling to come out!

Oh yeah, lots of guilty pleasures.

My iPod has a few songs from Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Blink 182, EMF, Jesus Jones, and Madonna. But they all have a special time and place.

We bought a disco compliation for the kids (Kool & the Gang, Villiage Peeps, Donna Summer, all the obvious stuff) and I do like listening to that with them, but I don't feel terrible guilty about it.

So old Neil Diamond gets the hipster seal of approval? I was listening to a live Neil Diamond cassette that I bought at a library sale and my wife nearly threw up, telling me I needed to draw the line somewhere…that I CAN'T like everything.

I have that too along with several other CDs of his. People tend to either love him or hate him. Personally, I think the man is great; especially his earlier works.

I have always wanted to hear a duet performance with Chris Isaak and K.D. Lang. Both have such gorgeous voices that they know how to use and control properly. Plus, I think they would complement each other very well. I tend to not go for the kind of music that K.D. Lang performs but can still fully enjoy her purely out of complete appreciation for her incredible talent.

Actually, I have no quilt about my list. They just don't fit into what the Indie crowd would tend to approve of but you know me well enough to know that I couldn't give a shit. LOL.
