I believe I posted this on another similar thread or maybe years ago in anther forum (I seen at least 20 " guilty pleasure" threads), but it doesn't hurt.
I hate the term guilty pleasures. I feel no guilt in liking any genre, style or kind of music, of course I'm a Proghead and a purist (Never even worried in denying it) but this doesn't mean I must only listen Prog, I love Classic Rock, some POP and of course the great talent of one Latin Jazz/Salsa musician called Ruben Blades.
Why must we talk about guilt? (Unless you speak of Donna Summer or Snoop Dog There's no guilt in liking different genres of music. I will list some:
- Meatloaf
- Bob Geldoff and the Boomtown Rats
- Cranberries
- Silvio Rodriguez (Despite I hate his pro Fidel lyrics)
- Ruben Blades
- Mountain
- The Animals
- Bachman Turner Overdrive
- Fleetwood Mac (Both incarnations even when the Buckingham-Nicks much more)
- Grand Funk Railroad
- Cream
- David Bowie
- The Ginger Baker Africa 70
- AC/DC
- America
- Cat Stevens
- Herman Hermits
- El Tri
- Dire Strait
- Early Elton John
- Los Kjarkas
- Boston
- OMD
- Bob Dylan
- Erick Clapton
I could follow for hours....Prog is my first love and 90% of my musical listening but this doesn't mean I feel any guilt for listening something different.

Well, I’m not a fan of El Tri, as a fact what I like most of them is El Tri Sinfónico with La Sinfónica FM, the orchestral arrangements are simply outstanding.
It’s true that Alex Lora can’t sing at all (He just shouts with throat) but the guy who plays the acoustic guitar in a Flamenco style is wonderful, the drumming is solid, the backing vocals when done in studio are very good also.
Their music is extremely simple and could even sound amateurish, but that’s precisely the charm of the band, they don’t pretend anything, they just give their best and surely they are able to rock.
As I said I only have El Tri Sinfónico DVD and a couple of samples specially Triste Canción de Amor in Bolero style (MTV Unplugged) and honestly I enjoy both recordings.

What's wrong with Jane's Addiction? |
more importantly, what's wrong with Björk?

Actually there´s nothing wrong with none of them, i´m listening to Bjork´s Debut right now, i just wrote those names because the first poster said which are those bands /albums /artists which doesn´t fin in with your collection, Bjork and Jane´s Addiction simply doesn´t fit in with my collection, the only one that makes me feel embarrased sometimes is Nelly Furtado

I have a lot of "easy listening", crooner type stuff in my collection. Love it. I'm also a big fan of Scottish trad/rock fusion stuff by bands such as Wolfstone and the Peatbog Faeries.
Right now, however, I'm listening to an album that I only just discovered last night. It's been played through 3 times today already and I love it more every time I hear it. Has Been by William Shatner
What a fantastic piece of work!!
