Your shameful playlists.

Now I firmly believe that everyone at least has one playlist or artist on their ipod or in their album collection that they are embarrassed about. You know, the songs that you want to slap on party shuffle or bring to a party. So, spill it. What are your guilty pleasures when it comes to music? I'll be brave and get flamed for what I am about to post.

My shameful playlists/artists are...

1) Smile DK. Shaddup. I know they are DDR but still have some catchy tunes.
2) TATU. Russian wanna-be lesbians don't make the best music but I can't seem to summon the willpower to get rid of them.
3) Mindless Self Indulgence. I have no idea why the hell I enjoy them. Cross dressing lead singers and freaky lyrics aren't really my thing, but they somehow make me buy their albums. Bastards.

So c'mon! Confess!

I have Lily Allen's album on my computer still, I just can't be bothered deleting it.
Wheatus' album is on there even though I only like their cover of A Little Respect
Chas N'*Dave - I once bought a Chas N Dave greatest hits album for like two quid and it came with an extra full album on a bonus disc (all in all about 70 songs...) and I'm ashamed to admit I listen to it far more than I should...
The Distillers - Yes I was a retarded teenager once and yet two albums are still in my library...
I don't really think there's anything else. I have a few more CD's I'm none too proud of but I ignore their existence.
As for other music on my computer I don't think there's anything else I should feel guilty about. I still stand by the fact Elton John has a few damn good songs. My music taste is pretty good all in all.

I'm not embarrassed by anything I listen to.

Then you have no shame!

It's not really on my iPod, but I do have a list of songs I like but am ashamed of.

Doggy by Campfire Songs
Prelude for Piano and Malaria by Worrytrain
Luscious Life by Patrick Watson
Sæglópur by Sigur Rós
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

There are things in my collection which could be construed as embarrassing, but I'm fairly convinced pretty much all that I listen to is merely 'good music'.

Take All Saints, or Elton John, for example. I wouldn't call them guilty pleasures, I really do think their musical output is pretty good and worth listening to.

I am not really ashamed of anything I listen to.

The only thing would be a lot of pop songs that I don't care for the band/artists but I just find the song to be really catchy/good.

Britney, Katy Perry, etc all fall under that.

I listen to Fall Out Boy.

Sometimes I listen to Savage Garden.

I'm not fucking ashamed.

I'm not ashamed of Duran Duran

Oh I also wanna add the song To France by Mike Oldfield.

Yeah I hate me too.

I like Third Eye Blind and Barenaked Ladies.

I don't understand it either. Neither of those bands are like anything I enjoy.

Barenaked Ladies are actually extremely talented musicians. The album Gordon has strokes of genius.

I don't care for any rap. Methinks its that my ears are too slow to keep up with it.

occasionally, i bust out alannah myles

but black velvet has a lot of sentimental value so i am not ashamed of it

You shouldn't be. Savage garden is still awesome.

I was listening to Feist earlier today, but that's about the only thing I'm ashamed of. I only listened to her really because she was like the Seinfeld "two-face", you see her once and she's fucking hot, you see her in a differen't light and she's not that attractive. That and I was listening to her performance on The Colbert Christmas, I love her voice.

What on earth is there to be ashamed of about listening to Feist?

There was that one song on the ipod commercial that everybody hated because it was played so much but even that isn't too annoying when you hear the whole song.

I just don't really pride myself on listening to sensations. Not so much that I'm ashamed by her, I'm just used to listening to more obscure music.

Ahhhhh, you're one of those people.

One time I cried for three hours while the song "My Sacrifice" by Creed played on repeat

Am I doing it right?

Why not just pride yourself on listening to good music that you enjoy

instead of listening to obscure stuff just because it's obscure

Yeah, you should go tear shit up while listening to 'Wait and Bleed' now.

I think the only music that is shameful is this one Fall Out Gay album "From Under the Cork Tree," and maybe Fergie's album.
Im not ashamed of my Seal (discography), Rick Astley (discography with remixes), Lily Allen, and Katy Perry album(s).

I don't simply listen to obscure music because it's obscure, and I wasn't ashamed of listening to her, I simply meant to say that I'm not used to listening to music about which I can have conversations with about 90% of the people I know. It was less shame and more discomfort.

The very fact that discomforts you shows what a pretentious prick you are. I mean ffs, up until maybe a year and a half ago Feist was obscure music.

You obviously took a different definition of discomfort than what I meant. Feist is not in my particular genre of music, and aside from that, she's not particularly what I enjoy musically, lyrically or anything else. The main reason that I was listening to her was because I am continually fascinated by her voice. I was stepping out of my regular comfort zone, therefore I was discomforted. If that makes me pretentious, that's fine, but I see in no way how I presented myself with false pretenses and acted of higher importance than I am. She simply is not the kind of music I listen to, the obscure comment was more my saying that I spend more time listening to less popular and different music than Feist.

I have no idea what to say to this.

Okay I am listening to Move Your Body and suddenly have the urge to go out and play DDR...god help me!

Artists I have but shouldn't:

Jewel
Sarah Mclaughlin
Fiona Apple
Norah Jones

Interestingly they all sorta emerged out of that whole female singer/songwriter group of the 90's

I enjoy sarah mclaughlin's and norah jones' voices

i can't say they're on my computer, but i don't mind listening to them

Norah Jones' first album kicks ass. I lent it out to someone though and don't know who and I don't really want to buy it again. Now all I have is her second album which sucked. That video with Zach Galiafinakis is pretty good though.

'Don't Know Why' by Norah Jones is an amazing song as well. Hate pretty much everything else she's done but she does have a beautiful voice.

What's wrong with Jewel?

nothing shameful about listening to fiona apple either

Well then.

Fiona Apple was a good musician but her whole "Fuck awards" bit at the 1997? Grammy's was rather trite considering its been done 15 times before

yes. but don't worry i wont judge you for crying to that musically and lyrically abhorrent song... any more, that is.

i "should be ashamed" about everything i listen to, since it is in large part classical music. i like most of Paul Simon's "Graceland" album, especially the eponymous song.

hey paul simon is a fantastic songwriter

there is nothing remotely shameful about him

i have a soft spot for scarborough fair, but i also really hate art garfunkel, in spite of everything

Paul Simon is great. I find it funny that anyone on here is ashamed of any of the music that they listen to. Why would you be ashamed to listen to music you like?

I got some interesting looks because I used my sisters computer to sync my zune. Alannis Morrisette but I have to admit to buying the album eleventy years ago.

i generally don't blast the s&g/alannah myles/boatloads of nostalgic 90's pop that i listen to from time to time

I used to be ashamed of listening to Justin Timberlake, but not anymore. He's awesome.
