I think we did a thread similar to this before, but oh well. Yes, I know that "guilty pleasures" in music are silly because you shouldn't feel guilty at all, but it's really the only phrase that sums up the idea of loving a band that people tease you for.
Anyway, for me, Cheap Trick immediately comes to mind. I love Cheap Trick, but they're so goddamn poppy and silly and fluffy and ridiculous and cheesy that I get teased by my hard rock friends.
:(
I don't have any guilty pleasure bands. The only band I really get teased about is Green Day and I absolutely fucking love them. Nothing to be ashamed about.
Bands/musicians I get crap for liking:
Cake
Sum 41
Bubba Sparxxx (I sort of hate most of his material too actually lol)
DJ Splash
Gogol Bordello
Smash Mouth
Slipknot giggle;
Radiohead.

I feel embarrassed for listening to it.

excuse me what
more like furthering themselves from every other mainstream band
they used to just be an alternative rock band and now they're like a combo of that and progressive/art rock
they're only being "mainstream" in the idea that they're one of those great bands that everyone can admit is awesome and they've become hugely popular

Are you serious? They started out as a mainstream band. Ever heard Creep? With each album they grow farther away from the mainstream rock mold.

I am really okay with everything I listen to. When my bff and I drive we listen to N*sync and the Spice girls and I sing LOUD but I don't care.
I get crap for every band i listen to.
Spice Girls.
Todd Rundgren
Dragonforce :(

Why are they a guilty pleasure?
For some reason I catch a lot of hate for liking them, so they've become a guilty pleasure by default.
Daft punk
Quote from: steal on November 02, 2008, 07:43:56 PM
Seriously? everyone I know who's heard of Gogol Bordello loves them, it seems, and they're definitely one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
I try to show my friends and they just think it's loud and stupid... I think they're amazing and love their Eastern European style
Quote from: steal on November 02, 2008, 07:43:56 PM
And Cake is really awesome too, I can't understand how you'd get any shit for them.
People say they're too bland... I guess I can sort of understand that, but I really like their sound and uniqueness
Quote from: bojangelsrocks on November 03, 2008, 06:25:26 AM
those are both good bands.
DragonForce sucks
but Daft Punk is somewhat good
Slipknot and Death Cab for Cutie. :(
I love Daft Punk too, but I don't feel even a tiny bit of guilt about it (as opposed to a certain 9-piece giggle;).
I was listening to their live album today while I was sitting in a waiting room and I ALMOST danced the robot in public.

kiss not as much as the other three, but still
none of those i mentioned should be guilty pleasures, really

I used to be made fun of because I don't listen to flow rida or chris brown. People used to laugh that I listen to Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, Tainaka sachi, Fahrenheit(taiwanese band), and such. But later the kids just got over it because I didn't care.

Chris Brown and Flo-Rida are awful but J-pop isn't any better. Feel guilty.

Although I sort of don't really believe people should feel too guilty with their music tastes because music that "sucks" to one person may just as well be the best for another. It's what the person gets out of their music that plays one of the major factors of liking it.
Besides the poor sentence structure I used, nobody will understand what I meant. ]:
