I like how some of you guys are acting just too cool for school. He said guilty pleasures, not pretty cool bands. How are Kiss or Prince guilty pleasures? Are ya scared or something?
Im man enough to admit it. I like this song!
Now, the bands dress sense? No, i dont like that.. or myself very much either.
But lets have no more of this... "Oh yeah well.. The Rolling Stones/U2/Johnny Cash/Insert clearly cool and popular band here are like my guilty pleasure..."
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Whoa whoa whoa, whats wrong with Techno?! I friggin love the stuff. Pretty much anything in the electronica/techno/trance genre Ill probably dig. But Im a metal/industrial fan so really industrial isnt too far a leap I guess

I agree with you there man. I mean cmon...... I admitted to liking that damn owl city song. That takes guts, specially after asking people what are some really good Iron Maiden cds. I almost have to shower off just listening to that song lol

To me? Nothing. To the "Fans of whatever vapid pop star is on the charts this week" that surround me? Everything. Had a coworker ride with me to get lunch one day - when he heard techno come out of my stereo, he looked at me like I ate his puppy or something.

Ok Prince may have been a bit of a safe bet, however fething Alphabeat? Thats not a guilty pleasure thats like standing up on your wedding day and telling your bride you caught aids from her ex!
But you asked for trully embarassing so here goes...

When I'm all alone with a computer around and no-one that it bothers I usually cue up some seriously ridiculous buttrock lead guitar on youtube... for instance
Racer-x: King of the monsters (Paul Gilbert's first release as a 'LOOK AT ME!' guitarist)
Dokken: Mr. Scary (George Lynch on guitar)... probably the only good thing to come out of that travesty of cheese-metal was George Lynch's 12 minute long solo on the live album... that man can mash his fingers
anything by Yngwie Malmstein, a legend among legends with songs titled like 'I am a Viking!' (hee hee hee). Maybe if he would learn a little more English his lyrics wouldn't be so stupid seeming, but again, man that man can mash his fingers.
Jason Becker/Marty Friedman's 'cacophony' series of guitar masturbating with a buddy
anything by Leatherwolf (seriously, 3 lead guitarists in the band, I think the drummer could also play lead guitar, and I know the singer took turns at a solo too now and then... In fact I think the only one in the band who DIDNT play lead guitar was the bassist... but maybe he had a side project I dunno)
Michael Angelo (the shred demon prince with the double guitar he plays two necks at once one in each ambidextrous hand!?)
damn this list could go on and on, but it all revolves around LUDICROUSLY drawn out lead-guitar stuff with minimal 'meaning' or 'content' but LOADS and LOADS of notes played extremely fast by some dude with a perm... I'm just a sucker for it, hence my screen name. I never had a perm though but I love me some butt-rock when nobody's looking.
Guitarists nowadays are wimps. Anyone who learned how to play in the 80s should raise their fists and salute the fact that they actually had to KNOW HOW TO PLAY to be recognized, not just have a cool haircut and 2 power chords. ech... I could go on and on but I wont...
I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.
I've honestly never got the whole 'guitar virtuoso' thing despite having been playing guitar for about 15 years. I'd much rather listen to Nick Cave being miserable/murderous over a minimal soundtrack than hear Joe Satriani bang out a million notes every second.
Having said that, i have been to see Kaki King play twice now xD
