I've always thought Muse progressive rock, or at least progressive related.

Guilty pleasures is a term I'm not familiar with when it comes to music. Most of the stuff I nowadays listen to is prog, but I'm also a big punk rock fan (going to see NOFX this coming autumnClap), I love a lot of metal bands (Maiden, Metallica, System of a Down, Swallow the Sun, Mokoma and so on...) and even straight pop (Michael Jackson is a genius). I've also shocked many people by confessing the ownership of both t.A.T.u albums. Love their stuff.Thumbs%20Up

Thanks...I'll have a look for it!

Dude, Weird Al's awesome.

Mine would be Tupac, Black Flag, and The Mars Volta.

I still listen to and enjoy large amounts of metal - mostly the heavier, more intricate varieties - and I'm 40 years old, which means I'm not supposed to like the stuff anymore.
 
My biggest guilty pleasure band, however, is the White Stripes.  Hey, what can I say - I think Jack's a good songwriter, and they're just offbeat enough that they fit my criteria.
 
I suppose I should also consider the Trans-Siberian Orchestra a guilty pleasure.  Christmas Eve And Other Stories puts me in the right frame of mind at Christmas time.
 
BRUTAL.

Oh, everything I listen to is brilliant and none of it embarasses me or can be called a guilty pleasure.

Let me see:

Gov't Mule - I've seen them twice in concert and they're fantastic

Apart from that, it's mostly individual songs I like, such as:

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression that I Get
Sublime - Date Rape
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Disturbed - Down with the Sickness
SOiL - Halo
The Sultans of Ping - Where's Me Jumper
The Colorblind James Experience - Considering a Move to Memphis

Plus I like some Rage Against the Machine sometimes.

Music outside of Prog that's a bit of a guilty pleasure includes classic adult film soundtracks.  Quietly listening to samples from Inside Deep Note: Music of 1970's Adult Cinema now.  The Deep Throat Anthology Pts. 1 and 2 is pretty good if one's into that sort of thing.

Thanks Jay.  I thought you'd be a SOiL fan as well. Wink  I saw SOiL live with their other vocalist and Halo was crap.  The studio version is what it's all about. Wink

I've not heard that Sublime song in ages actually. LOL
