Musical guilty pleasures

[lupinIII]

We all know it, bands/genres/songs that you know full well are terrible, yet can't resist loving.

I was going through some CDs I bought in high school. I was really into the emo-pop-punk thing. We're talking AFI - Sing the Sorrow, Rufio - 1985 and The Ataris - End is Forever.

Craptactular, yet playing the CDs I couldn't help punking out a little.

Some choice cuts

Bleed Black - AFI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llzNXZ5JFlM
Girls not Grey - AFI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d5WlUR1T3k
Boys of Summer (Don Henley cover) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIfiQePVbqU
White Lights - Rufio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCkEj-6dpQw
Why Wait - Rufio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHd1iVAdqhU

Uch, terrible, yet strangely awesome. Amusingly enough, a lot of these songs are arguably proto-forms for the hits from bands like Fall Out Boy. Crazy, crazy pop-cultural evolution.

Post your own, don't be shy!

[TheOne1]

80's hair metal type band thats still around;

Dream Theater 'forsaken' ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7oH6Ku27Us

Cool idea for a thread. Here's a song I play anytime I find it on a jukebox (which is pretty easy given the current jukebox technology). It's a stupid song, and the bars I play it in don't generally appreciate it, but I like it for some reason:

hey don't feel bad, AFI is a pretty good band. the boys of summer song was catchy too. i mean hell any of those are better than the soulja boy crap the radio is churning out these days.

SPICE GIRLS

Paris Hilton's first album. :oops:

Notice I said first? She's working on a sophomore release...without soon-to-be-bankrupt Scott Storch I think.

[lupinIII]

Ah, exactly what we need, more Paris exposure. That said that first single from her, the ska-reggae song...not the worst thing I've heard...yeah, don't feel bad, you ain't the only one.

I think the reason the emo was really bad for me, I was a lovelorn young punk, and generally speaking the streety political punk bands that I liked didn't really sing about love, the emo bands sort of slotted in really wierdly. To make things worse I totally hated the posturing and the fakeness of most of the emo bands, local or otherwise, not to mention the idiocy of the emo people. It was very much an exercise in cognitive dissonance.

TheOne1, do you ever listen to Dragonforce? They're like the cheesiest bunch of 80s metallers ever. They had a huge windfall recently as one of their songs was on Guitar Hero 3.

I don't know if this song has hit the states, it's by a electro-clash kind of band.

My People - The Presets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ufW2INWmM

Such an awesome club song when one is drunk and there's sweaty pretty people all around, terrible anywhere else. "Let me hear you scream if you're with me!"

Ace of Base...classic! :lol:

Weren't they the 90s version of ABBA?

Another guilty pleasure is that song where a baby was singing in French over a house beat. For the life of me I can't find that video anywhere! Help?

Also Relax, by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Dayum!

iloveall I think that's the best policy for someone like me who has a thing for tragically bad music. I should just say I'm eclectic or something. I really like Lily Allen, being a bit of a rudeboy, she evokes a lot of the vibe of British second wave ska with really cool pop sensibilities. Oh and for the record All That She Wants is the best Ace of Base song, hands down!

When I was a tiny person, like 5 or 6 I visited my cousins in Sri Lanka, For some reason we all really loved that song, it got played everywhere we went. Whenever I hear it, it still reminds me of that trip and some very fun childhood memories.

Hmm You're Sri Lankan? That's Hot! I always liked brown skinned men. Makes them appear a lot manlier. :P

Oh god, Karma Chameleon, that song fills me with white hot wrath, the people I work with find it highly amusing to sing the chorus of that at me in a really off-key manner. It wouldn't be that bad if they knew the rest of the words but they just kinda loop the chorus at 'you come and gooo'

Oh and thank you! :D You know you're quite the cutie yourself! As I'm sure you've been told, though it deserves to be said.
