<< Stupid post. Who cares what one person considers
a "guilty pleasure".>>
I actually find this one fun. And there's no such thing as a stupid post...only
stupid responses.

Journey is a big "guilty pleasure" of mine. One of the first bands I got into
as
a kid, and I am instantly transported as soon as I pop Escape or Frontiers
into the player. I even like this latest incarnation of Journey with Steve
Augeri
on vocals. Very impressed with Arrival and their latest disc, Generations.
Mike + The Mechanics is another one. Such a shame about Paul Young,
though. A great voice silenced forever. RIP, Paul.
Others are REO Speedwagon, Squeeze, The Style Council, and newer
bands
like Train, Dave Matthews Band, and Matchbox Twenty.
There...I said it.

That's that. I enjoy everything from progressive bands such as
Tangerine Dream and King Crimson to mainstream pop bands like Vertical
Horizon and Alterbridge. To me, nothing's a guilty pleasure. I would go
insane if I could only listen to prog for the rest of my life. But I
would also go insane if I could only listen to poppy stuff my whole
life. |
Indeed. There is no shame in liking pop music, it's all a matter of
taste. Music can be as entertaining without odd time signatures, epics,
etc.
I like DT's 'I walk besides you', for example. Be as poppish as
it may, I still find the song to be charged with emotions.
However, coffeeintheface, I must disagree on the part of Alter Bridge being poppish and mainstream. |
Hey man, that's cool you disagree on Alterbridge "being mainstream",
because the only reason I kind of lumped them there is because it is
basically Creed with a new singer. And EVERYONE seems to have hated
Creed (even though I loved their debut album, and their 2nd and 3rd
albums had good material in between). And Mark Tremonti is one of the
better guitarists in mainstream rock, in both his work with Creed and
Alterbridge.

This thread is no stupider than any other.
I also like 90125 . I like From Genesis to Revelations and Duke . I think Mike Oldfiled made the right move doing those half prog half pop albums . I also like The Eagles and America a lot

You are not alone
I LOVE TB II (I would give it 4/5), but I can't stand the rough sound and boredom of the original one. I would only give it (2/5) for historical importance and the good intro

I still listen to a lot of mainstream rock/pop. I love the new Embrace album. Pet Shop Boys are a big fav.

I actually love Yes' 90125. I'm a child of the 80's and that era really
introduced me to Yes.

Just as one shouldn't be criticized for what they listen to, neither should
their post be called stupid.
