Ok. I love italian prog, King Crimson, Anekdoten... But I also love the Carpenters. If you gotta problem with that. Tell me that this don't sound like something Renaissance would not do on their "Ashes are burning" album and you'll see  So call me a wimp but at least listen to some of this to see  Surprisingly, their first 2 albums have a few proggy-like gems like this mixed in the "happy pop" So what group(s) / song(s) are your guilty pleasure? Karen Carpenter R.I.P

 When I saw your thread title, before I even clicked inside.....my first thought was Carpenters. I took the time to rediscover them last year, bought all of their remasters. Not only are they both brilliant but the music brings me back to a happier time and it relaxes me. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

yeah I'm 50 now. The Carpenters don't seem so "uncool" anymore  Frankly I'm surprised that they got such a "bad rep". Karen Carpenter was actually a jazz drummer who received high praise from Buddy Rich this is a brilliant video of her drumming on a show and it may surprise people who did not realize just how good of a drummer she really was. Really worth a watch despite the low picture quality. Don't even know her but really had a respect/admiration for her and her brother. |

| I don't see why Carpenters would have to be a guilty pleasure. Actually I don't buy this concept of guilty pleasure and it is borne out of elitism/snobbery. If you like it, you like it. Karen Carpenter's incredible phrasing was beyond the grasp of most prog vocalists and both she and Richard were well versed in the American songbook. Annie Haslam said she liked Carpenters and was delighted when in some interview back in the day the Carpenters named Renaissance as one of their favourites. The groups never met, though. |

I agree with you 100%. Back in the day when we fell into peer pressure in grade school, admitting that one liked the Carpenters would be an offense of a punch to the face. So I would play a Carpenters song and follow it up with Zeppelin or Rush before I went back to it ;-)

Elitism and snobbery is it's own guilty pleasure. It is unique to everyone. Elitism and snobbery are the best parts of being a prog fan though. We know we listen to "better" music than the great unwashed and love our disdainful attitude usual borne from decades of resentment. We get it from the jazz snobs who will not explain the concept of swing and we do laugh how rockers get this so completely wrong at times. Prog has been years in the wilderness and used to be the "guilty" pleasure of some. Well, prog is now trendy and used in popular mainstream media as though these worthless hacks know what they are talking about. Of course if you ever tried expounding the virtues of someone who is say, pop, to someone that is not a prog fan then even those further down the hierarchy can get all snooty. The reason for all this snobbery is not a musical one course but one with it's roots in pop culture - or even classical culture. Some of us classical snobs even look down on us prog snobs. There are none more militant though than metal snobs, even more so than punk snobs. The only people who don't care are the fair weather trend followers which is probably even more irksome as these snobs won't even acknowledge they are musical snobs because their cultural identity is rooted in self image and how it relates to current perceptions. So we snobs don't get an argument from those snobs because they are above snobbery. The nerve. Sometimes we do the snob thing even surreptitiously; on this site. I refer to the intro blurb about Genesis which seeks to praise the '70 - '74 era and, um, progressively reduce the musical stature of Genesis as this band changed. The subtle undermining is about as elitist as one can get even by my standards. Apparently e.g. Selling England is good to like but Invisible Touch has to be a guilty pleasure without any discernible musical observation but one purely based on "culture" values. It begins in the intent of album reviews; how a non-prog album in an artist's catalogue is rated less because it is of less (musical?) value than yer actual prog release. This site is oriented toward the prog of course but is that a good reason to mark someone's work down? Of course it is. I do so hope no one thought I would imply the converse. Anyway I think I shall turn my nose up at this blatant propaganda and rise above it all. We elitists have a world to dominate y'know. |

Date Posted: November 08 2016 at 00:49
| ^^ That's just the rating system guiding reviewers to consider whether an album is an prog or not because on a prog rock website you want the highest rated albums to be prog. Yes, I am aware of the various forms of snobbery but continue to regard it as a vain and foolish pursuit. One may not like pop or punk or whatever genre and that's fine but how does that give one the right to condescend to tell someone else he shouldn't be listening to this or that? |

^^ I know. I once had to endure someone telling me I should be listening to Peter and The Test Tube Babies instead of ELP. It is a pop culture appropriation (how one assumes a right) as opposed to a musical one. |

I don't think we should take too seriously this thing about "commercial" music. Remember that there was a time when the popular songs played on the radio were made mostly by good musicians. Even if the visible "star" was sometimes not that much of a musician behind them there were professional songwriters producers and players who were as good as anyone. Of course, all it takes this days is a programmed beat, some auto tuner and a few hot chicks but that's a different story. The Jackson Five were talented musicians. The monkees were backed by good composers. Abba...well even Mikael Akerfeldt seems to like them so I think they're OK. I was into Kiss as a teen and I still think they have some good songs. John Denver is considered cheesy and some of his stuff actually is but he has some great folk songs . Similar things could be said about many metal bands, if you look at their pictures and album covers you might not even consider listening to them, but you can be in for a few surprises. Manowar might be the chessiest of them all but they have some great albums, if you forget about their image ------------- Surrogate People they walk on by, they walk on by When they replace you They live your life, they live your life |

Progressive rock is my guilty pleasure. And apart from this forum, I alomst never say I like progressive rock. The most ridiculous genre of all the genres I listen to. That being said, I think the most smooth, silky, paint-by-numbers popband I love, must be Johnny Hates Jazz, and I adore the songs Shattered Dreams and Turn Back the Clock. Hell, I love the whole album Turn Back the Clock. Maybe the most played album by me, ever.

I'm actually completely dumbfounded that the Carpenters are being consideed a `guilty pleasure'. Sublime pop songwriting with a restrained and intelligent singer who sings rings around the idiotic vocal gynasts that mostly pass for popular female singers today? Nothing to be ashamed about with the duo at all.

I'd be prepared to caveat the songwriting which was really about artful covers (but what covers, they could turn an ad jingle into a hit single) for the most part; did have some good original tracks like Goodbye to Love and I Need to Be in Love. But Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest female singers ever produced by pop music and when I say pop in that sense, I mean alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Julie Andrews etc. There has never been a better example to show that you don't need a huge range nor the ability to produce a variety of sounds including distortion to be a great singer; it's all about how you interpret the lyrics and she was one of the very best at that.

I'm on board with not buying into the term "guilty pleasure." Why should anyone feel guilty about enjoying music of any sort? Every type of music has appealing aspects even if it doesn't appeal to everyone. I have always called quirky types of music that aren't major staples of our diet "comfort food." And in case you're wondering, i really do like all those videos i posted! I didn't just pull out the cheesiest of the cheese for no reason :P I do put on my chEEsy puPPy hat from time to time  |

Oh God, here goes any vestige of credibility I ever had: I really like Rammstein! I also have been a long time fan of The Sweet. I saw them when they were booked at my uni in c1973: I had to go as I was the new Entertainment Organiser and I was livid that my predecessor had booked a sh**ty glam rock band. They were absolutely AMAZING. They were excellent musicians and, apart from their hits, they played some excellent heavy rock of real sophistication. I booked them next year as well.

I don't feel shame or guilty... After all music like other artistic manifestations is a question of taste and I really think , you can find good music beyond of progressive music frontiers ( which in really isn't so very clearly demarcated progressive is rock/ jazz/ psychedelic/ classical/ folk etc...) I also like some The Carpenters tunes and the voice of Karen dismissal any comments ! I like some bands very pop like , for instance some REO SPEEDWAGON ( album "You can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish") , and I detach in my collecttion : Elton John ( at least 2 albums "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Capitain Fantastic and The Brown Dirty Cowboy" ) Crosby Stills Nash & Young ( Deja- vú and some others albums) Janis Joplin ( Cheap - Trills ) etc... Eumir Deodato ( Prologue and Deodato II ) .... and more |

311 is one of the bands I grew up with, and they are still one of my favorites. They're not really prog, but they do have their moments of complexity. Their 'Transistor' album still practically lives in my CD player. Have a listen! Also, I do occasionally enjoy some EDM/Dubstep (but don't tell anybody).

I don't do guilt in my listening habits. Right now I am listening to the latest album by Foghat and am really getting into it. No frills blewzy rock 'n' roll. This one sounds a little like AC/DC. I never took The Carpenters seriously, but I have always admired Karen's voice. I am glad to find out after so many years she was an awesome drummer, too. Weird Al is a genius. Sunday morning is our time for Hawaiian music. Iz had an amazing voice and was a magnificent ukulele player. There are many excellent slack key guitar players, such as Led Kaapana and Cyril Pahinui. Speaking of guitar players, Chet Atkins was the man and Tommy Emmanuel will blow your mind. There are so many possibilities with finger picking. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

here is some music I got laughed at or thought to be crazy or weird for listening to  A-ha - people who usually laugh at this band only know their first hit Take on Me; they usually changed their mind after listening something else from them (LOL) Depeche Mode - well if you're into rock and metal, how can you listen to something like DM? yes, someone asked me that years ago. Bon Jovi - I enjoy a lot of their songs, I also dislike several Foreigner - couple of my buddies laughed when they saw I had some of their albums Metal in general - those singers that scream? of course metalheads will laugh at me for enjoying little extreme metal - You're not a metalhead if you're not into death or black!

Siivagunner! It's a collective of musicians that pretend to be one person uploading videogame music to the internet. But in reality the music that gets uploaded is altered. For example, they can take a tune from a videogame and change the melody to the Flintstones theme melody. This band also has a plot. It's a concept band. There are even videos that show parts of the plot. The music often uses musical memes. There are recurrent melodies. |

Still insist on Kajagoogoo. My absolute fave from the 'sickly' 80's New-Wave Synth Pop genre. Just great musicianship, arrangements, and ideals. Still find plenty of time to squeeze in some of their albums / e.p.'s between Canterbury, R.P.I. and Tech / Extreme etc. All great fun
