guilty pleasures 2004

this is the thread that will separate the men from the boys the girls from the women;what was the musical guilty pleasure you had this year:I will start it off in the most heinous way I know how ….I actually looked forward to the new Avril Lavigne album and when it came out I found myself singing along in the shower to more than a few of the songs…apparently I am a homosexual…don't tell my girlfriend please…I am officially turning in my white belt and my subscription to Mojo…

oh, and by the way "Flame on"…as the dude in the Fantastic Four would say…

i really do think you should tell your girlfriend that you are gay, then you will be free to listen to cher,cyndi lauper and the village people, oh to be gay.

Gosh…I was gonna cite Stellastar as my guilty pleasure….I don't feel so guilty now!

Booradley17 you the man. I don't despise Avril so much. I mean, compared to Brittany Spears and Christina Slutskillerra she's great. You're a real man for posting that here :)

first, i'd hardly list stellatarr* as a guilty pleasure, and second, their album came out in 2003.

in the spirit of the thread originator, i'm gonna have to say the latest sum 41 record. i found myself rocking out to that alot more than i probably should have.

Mine is going to THREE shows at MCI Center this year. Holy cow, even I can't believe it. Prince was fantastic, Vote for Change awesome, and Madonna was quite a spectacle but…too much a broadway-type show rather than a concert for me.

I'll say it; 'Toxic' is one hell of a good pop song.

Guilty pleasure-that would easily be Prince or Kanye West.

I can sing all the words to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman." I also like "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" by Big & Rich. :p

those are by far the worst 'country' songs of all time.

ya think I'm gonna post about my guilty pleasures on a public message board?! Oh wait, you mean music… well hmm, that would be Electric Six, which my friend Katie gave me for my birthday… how can you go wrong with lyrics like the below? This is an extremely guilty pleasure, unless they're so funny that they cross the line into hipster irony, in which case it's a pleasure but I'm not guilty. But they also genuinely rock, which counts against hipsterness.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one. Alot better than I ever expected.

Love that song!

As for guilty pleasures for myself this past year, I would choose Scissor Sisters (oh, and dancing to house music Saturday nights at The Blue Room - I'm going to have to go to confession *numerous* times to atone for that). ;)

Not a cd, but a guilty pleasure show: Fuel.

I'll second Toxic as one hell of a good pop song. I'm so ashamed to like it though.

Also, that Electric Six song is good…the album isn't very good though….

I think mine would be the new Green Day album. It isn't great, but it's good for Green Day….

k8tee… really? I like the whole album, but maybe it's just because I have it on heavy rotation in my car, and it's definitely fun driving music.

Oh, and liking Green Day is DEFINITELY a guilty pleasure… you just sold any punk cred you had down the river! :D
