I listen to some gay ass shit. But I'm not in HS. I don't give a flying fuck in terms of what others think.

I literally listen to everything:
Spice Girls
Opeth
Avril Lavigne
Arch Enemy
Diana Krall
Old school 90s rap (Tupac / Biggie)
Utada Hikaru (Jpop)
Love video game music (Chrono Trigger, FF, Warcraft II & III)
Also a big fan of scores- Hans Zimmer, John Williams...

etc...

YES!!! GOD YES!

Although I don't feel the least bit guilty. They might have flopped in America, but everyone I convince to give them a fair chance ends up realizing that they are actually a pretty cool band.

no guilty feelings about this one whatsoever 🙂 they're a good band.

another I liked was urge overkill - Sister Havana
 
third eye blind's self-titled album is a guilty pleasure of mine. i will now exit this thread quickly and avoid all eye contact on my way out.
 
If I like a band, are they really mediocre? That said there are a few artists that have "that one good song" amongst their plethora of terrible's. Among those I'd say are:

Crossfade
Monster Magnet
Antiflag
Staind
Fleetwood Mac
*edit to add Creed

 
Justin Timberlake is good for what he is - a pop singer.

That said, I enjoy a shit-ton of popular rap. According to what I've seen around here in re: rap, I should probably just kill myself now.

Well, not a band per se, but video game music. I grew up with it, so I'm quite fond of it, even when it's cliche or cheesy.

😕 how are some of those "guilty pleasures"? A lot of them are widely recognized to be very good bands.

KT
 
Justin Timberlake - great pop, great falsetto, it's awesome.
The Killers - hot fuss was a great album, sam's town sucked cock. sawdust had a few b-sides that sounded more like hot fuss, I liked those.
Fall Out Boy - they've got their moments too.
Rick Astley - I'm never gonna give him up.
U2 - since everyone here hates them. Pop's probably my favorite album ever, even though people say it's their worst.
Evanescence - their first CD was good too.

Despite the overwhelming number of geeks, dorks, nerds, and other high-intelligence low self-esteem types, this forum is still the most humorless place on the internet.

Pop, Zooropa and Achtung Baby! (all the ones people here think suck) are the ONLY albums of theirs I listen to on a regular basis now. I haven't touched Boy, War, Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree in a long time. They were damn good in the 80's, but watching them perform in ZooTV and Popmart blows me away everytime; so lame and cheeky, yet so such a thrill.

My list:
Celine Dion: She isn't one bit bad, but so many seem to dislike her.
Spice Girls: I never had a man card.
Kelly Clarkson
Cher
