Guilty pleasure bands

HeathenWolf · 15-09-2014 2:03am #1

We all have at least one favourite band that everybody else hates and we like to listen to when no one is around. What is yours and why?

Links234 · 15-09-2014 2:08am

Babymetal :pac:

Dunno if I really have a 'guilty pleasure' because I just listen to what I like and don't care what other people think, but Babymetal do bring out some extreme reactions from some folks, it's hilarious.

Heathenwolf. They converse through the power of music but don't actually contribute anything themselves, the loveable bastards.

Heh, Babymetal have indeed been getting a lot of strange reactions from the metal community. They don't sound bad but the band's concept is cheesy.

Yeah, they're a bit gimmicky but there's some seriously decent music there, far better than it should be. I know plenty of serious metal fans who love them, and others who absolutely hate them.

Yeah, there are a lot of metalhead friends of mine that love them.

I keep telling people that the Spice Girls had some serious tunes but they hit me!

Wannabe is 20 years old this year.

GalwayGirl26 · 15-09-2014 1:04pm

I would struggle to find music I like that wasn't considered a guilty pleasure...Boybands, Novelty Songs....I have Maniac 2000 playing right now.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 15-09-2014 1:06pm

Probably Abba.
But then my guilty movie pleasure is Priscilla, Queen of the Desert...

super_furry · 15-09-2014 1:08pm

Lily Allen and I have no idea why.

Not a band as such but Come on Eileen by Dexy's is probably my favourite song ever.

iDave · 15-09-2014 1:10pm

U2

Leogirl · 15-09-2014 1:12pm

Wham

czechlin · 15-09-2014 1:14pm

When nobody's home I like to dance around the house to tunes of Shakira

Plek Trum · 15-09-2014 1:16pm

Little Mix

(hang head in shame)

The Backwards Man · 15-09-2014 1:19pm

When it comes to music, I have no shame.

longshanks · 15-09-2014 1:25pm

Simply Red.

There, I said it.

Friends mam is called Eileen, song starts playing in the pub, lots of singing/shouting while making rude gestures, bad form...

The Backwards Man · 15-09-2014 1:37pm

Dexys Midnight Runners are a guilty pleasure these days?

What next? The Kinks? Fleetwood Mac?

Fcuk me, I'm getting old.

dark crystal · 15-09-2014 1:50pm

Probably ABBA or The Carpenters.

kfallon · 15-09-2014 1:52pm

Everyone likes a bit of Abba, can't beat "The Winner Takes It All"

keano_afc · 15-09-2014 1:52pm

ABBA or the Vengaboys.

dr.bollocko · 15-09-2014 2:03pm

Chicago.

If you leave me now you take away the biggest part of me.

OOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO NO baby please don't go.

c_man · 15-09-2014 5:31pm

You all see me. The guy in his late twenties on the bus, having a disinterested look out the window and the earphones in. You figure I'm listening to some poxy indie band. I've actually got Nicki Minaj on. And no-one's the wiser :cool:

Alannah Myles

Lady Gaga

Huey Lewis And The News

There is only one word to describe that movie. And predictably enough, that word is fabulous.

My guilty pleasure song:

I bounce around like a little rubber ball when I hear that.

The odd time. They're ok.

bnt · 15-09-2014 7:01pm

I used to think Rush was a guilty pleasure ... before the Internet took off, and I discovered just how widespread my "guilty pleasure" was. :cool:

Reminds me of the songs my mother used sing when doing the housework:

"Rubber ball" - Bobby Vee

"Bimbo" - Jim Reeves

As for my own guilty pleasure music, well, the list is far too long, but one of my favourite guilty pleasure songs comes from one of my favourite guilty pleasure movies - "Dirty Dancing":

"Be my baby" - The Ronettes

Saw 'em live last year, and (hopefully) will see 'em again this year when they're playing with Sabaton! Their version of Ievan Polka is downright incredible too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqm_tNAT8Zs

And speaking of Sabaton, what a ****ing incredibly cheesy band! :pac:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt0vW7indhk

If you don't know how utterly pompous Sabaton are, all they sing about is war, just take a look at the lyrics! :pac:

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo Victoria

On the 6:th of June
On the shores of western Europe
