who is your guiltiest pleasure artist and why? how did you get into them?
for me, it is sting. one of the only things musically i inherited from my father, sting was one of my first concerts ever and i have seen him about two dozen times since, including eight times AFTER graduating high school. not the police, don't really care about them... sting's solo material. don't know why, probably reminds me of the few good memories i have as a kid growing up, but i unabashedly love those first few sting solo records and still listen to them regularly. the all this time live record released on THAT september 11th is an awesome jazz-re-imagining of a ton of his and the police's songs, i listen to that a lot.

Was gonna jump in and mention All This Time before I got to the end of your post. I've no idea what prompted me to buy that CD a million years ago, but I did and loved it. Saw The Police at Bonnaroo once. Can't compete otherwise, but also would take the solo stuff.
This feels especially bad as an Irish person, but I genuinely think U2 are (on average) a great band. And you know what? That free iTunes album everyone lost their shit over is their best work in years.

Tome Jones, similar reasons. I grew up with my mom listening to Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, etc. I still enjoy listening to him. Kind of cheesy but I like it. |

Two albums - Mudvayne / LD50 and Incubus / Science. I really can't stand anything else these bands did but those two albums are special to me.

Heh, I was just talking to a friend about Mudvayne the other day. I like most of their stuff.

Late 80s / early 90s straight edge and NYHC. Judge, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of It All, Agnostic Front, Insted, Uniform Choice, etc. In retrospect it's pretty silly but it still pumps me up and brings me back to that era when I was in high school.

No shame in what you like. I'm not much of a pop guy, but there's some rad Charli XCX songs that are super unique and catchy.
For me if I had any guilty pleasure, it would be Deathspell Omega. Paracletus is an amazing record but I hate talking about the band because the last thing I want to do is give a band with a white supremacist member any support.

If we're talking things we maybe should feel guilty for but don't, I'm driving the Carly Rae Jepsen train. Choo choo.

When I was 14 I went with my mom and my Nana to Washington DC to visit my aunt. I remember my aunt taking us to this cute coffee shop downtown. I think it was the first time I'd ever been in an actual coffee shop cause I don't think San Antonio had much like that at that point. Anyway, Englishman in New York was playing and there were all these "hip" people reading and having coffee and I remember thinking how cool all of it seemed and how I wanted to spend time in places like that when I got older. I laugh about it now cause they were probably just yuppies listening to Sting, but I still have a soft spot for some of his stuff. |

I listen to some terrible music made by various Drag Race drag queens.
I still really enjoy certain Better Than Ezra songs and a variety of mediocore 90's,/early 2000's "alternative" and "emo" stuff.
Certain H20 songs can still make me feel happy even though they're incredibly silly, but I associate it with high school and fun memories.

My wife caught me listening to John Mayer while driving her back from an Oh Sees show in Columbus when we first started dating.
I will sing the songs, and I am not ashamed.

I honestly have moved past the guilt of listening to "uncool" music but I feel really guilty for listening to Michael Jackson. My defense is that I get one (1) Bad Human to love listening to but idk if that holds up.
