Deftones are a guilty pleasure now?

Hmm...for me

ABBA
In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins
Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis (the organ and drums remind me of In the Air Tonight. It makes me feel so very guilty)
Certain Madonna songs like Papa Don't Preach.
Pat Benatar to an extent.
Rob Zombie

None - I do not feel guilty about enjoying music Big%20smile
 
On the list so far, however, I do like listening to Phil Collins sometimes - especially "In The Air", I have a large ABBA collection, two Madonna albums and I have enjoyed Rob Zombie once or twice, although I've never bought any of his stuff. He's one of my MySpace friends, if that counts.
 
I don't honestly know what counts in this category, as, like I said, I feel no guilt - but I own and enjoy listening to albums by;
 
ABC
Duran Duran
Justin Timberlake
Johnny Cash
Dolly Parton
Stryper
Motley Crue
The Feeling
Barbra Streisand
Nickelback
Linkin Park
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
Bert Kaempfert
Rolf Harris
Rose Royce
 
 
 
Any of those on "Guilty Pleasures" lists?
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

In a way, I suppose 'Boston', I just love that band. For some reason they seem to get compared to Journey or Toto, but I can't hear any similarity to those whimpos whatsoever.

 

Then I suppose 'The Knack' who I find have the gift of writing pop songs to perfection.

 

Is liking Tori Amos' music a guilty pleasure? If so, I'm EXTREMELY guilty.

 

Then there's Cat Stevens.

 

And XTC, although I'd say they'd possibly qualify for entry here?

I feel no guilt at all about listening to Boston once in a while.  They are so obviously prog-related, despite the prejudices of certain members here.
 
The Xanadu soundtrack might count, because I think Olivia Newton-John had the strongest tracks on it, and I really like it.
 
Fleetwood Mac goes in there too.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
