Guilty Pleasures

one of mine is Cohhed & Cambria... no I don't shop at Hot Topic but my son does!

I just love the Geddy Lee like vocals and they can be really heavy at time and then mix it up with ear candy goodness... there you have it

What are some of yours?

Seriously, the end of the performance is what is killer... It is SO ROCK N ROLL

IMO that is everything that is missing from Rock today. Most bands, especially the gold/platinum kind, would never mess with "the single" especially on national tv. I miss the "they actually played" performance where there is passion and they just go for it! Cool I think

And that drummer IS ON FIRE

That video is no longer available. Did I miss anything 'special'?

Guilty pleasure:
Slipknot

Yes, even I think that's weird...but I just like them.

Mute Math on Conan O Brien

Yeah actually it was special... totally metal performance by totally not metal band hahaha

try this one

In 1986 I had many guilty pleasures two of which (John Hughes and Flesh For Lulu) merge here:

I too love Coheed & Cambria. Been accused of being liking "emo". Just sounds like good rock n roll to me.

I would add:

Phil Collins, especially Face Value. Good music for late nights with the wife...



Genesis, yup, all of it, even stuff like Abacab.



Peter Gabriel, especially the first four solo albums.



Keith Green. Way outside what I usually listen to but his music really speaks to me.



Run DMC. What can I say, I like some 80's rap. "Raising Hell" is a cool album, especially the Walk this Way cover.



S.F.C. see above comment



Public Enemy. see above.



Sevendust. Not a big fan of nu-metal, but I like these guys. "Seasons" and "Home" are my favorites.



Disturbed. another "nu" band I like.



Patsy Cline. What a voice!

Meat Loaf is a big (pun intended) fave of mine.

But he's still in the rock & roll genre.

I'll be brutally honest and you can let the heckling begin. I have a soft spot for female vocals so I'll add

Jewel
Tiffany
Kelly Clarkson

I kind of like this song by Nelly Furtado. Don't even know the name (nor do I like it that much), but I guess it's a recent thing.

I also have a reversed guilty pleasure, which is to hate Queen. Like, everything about them. And everything they did. :p

Justin Timberlake- Theres 2 songs I like, great beats and sound

Debbie Gibson- Out of the Blue what a great bubble gum album

Ok, I admit it. I like ABBA.

I've also taken a liking to Joy Electric.

How can anyone NOT like ABBA

hmmm... I'm old. I like what I like and I don't feel guilty about any of it

I even listened to the Supergang the other day with my nephew... those songs are catchy!
