I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Panic at the Disco (Beatles' rip-off era only)
The Killers
The Strokes
The entire indie pop/rock genre

Usually when people look at my Last.fm page, they wonder how I can enjoy prog while being such a huge indie-head...

I really like that song "two Princes" by The Spin Doctors.  To be honest, I think that might be the most embarrassing to be mentioned in this thread so far.  I also really like that John Fogerty song about baseball and get really happy when it comes on the radio at work.

Perhaps some people here remember the time when he was added to the databaseLOL.... It was an April Fool joke btw!

As for myself, I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of in our musical tastes (or any other tastes for that matter). Anyway, if I had to choose, I'd mention that in the Eighties I used to dig some songs by bands that no progger would consider respectableWink. A particular favourite of mine was "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat (a very poignant song, with an equally poignant video), as well as stuff by Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet.

When I'm alone, and nobody's looking, I'll throw on a Green Day or Blink 182 song just for the fun of it.
 
I actually enjoy Green Day's 9 minute songs quite a bit.

no shame in Cat Stevens, his whole progressive period - Foreigner, Buddah and the Chocolate Box, Numbers - is brilliant

..and I agree about George Michael, the man can sing

I don't really have anything in my collection that I'm truly embarrassed by. Depending on the situation there are always things I wouldn't mention (sometimes it's prog, sometimes it's Swedish indiepop from the 90s), but if there was something I kind of liked but felt "eerrm...Embarrassed" about I wouldn't have kept it in my collection.

Umm, I think there are already threads on this (but they might be locked due to being ancient).



With 310 pages of threads in the General music section, I'm certain this has probably been done before.  Smile  Plus, even though I'm expert searcher on Google, I have a tough time located threads I posted in using the search feature here.  Angry
The search is not great, but it works. The trick is knowiing what to look for... in this case the magic word is "guilty"
 
You just needed to wind the Find Posts: [Last Six Months] back to Find Posts: [Any Date] and enter "Guilty" in the search box
 
================================================================================================
 
I love quality Pop, so... (as posted in pervious guilty pleasures threads):
 
Anglezoom - electro-goth from ex-X-Perience europop/disco diva
Buck's Fizz - EuroVision winners (that makes them automatically cheesy) but great songs, superb production and Cheryl Baker.
MCR - The Black Parade - the psuedo-Emo's go psuedo-Prog - the live version (The Black Parade Is Dead!) is brilliant.
 
and my latest confession:
 
Siobhan Donaghy - Ghosts - ex-Sugar Babe attempts at left-filed indie and misses by a country mile, but the tilte-track (Ghosts) is great: http://www.myspace.com/siobhandonaghyparlophone

Not really ashamed of any of my musical tastes, but I still get funny looks when I say Duran Duran are the best band ever. Period. Yeah.

Asia. Yeah. I said that. Love 'em.

Also, I'm usually pretty bored by modern music, but Rihanna's Disturbia, is, in my opinion, a really good song.

I don't own an album of his, but have always loved George Michael's voice.
