What artists do you LOVE listening to, but it's not something you'd, uh... brag about... For me... Diana Ross and the Supremes! Download their version of I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch), and look me in the eye and tell me you don't love it! You can't do it! This is PERFECT pop! The production is just immaculate... think it was Phil Spector. Stop in the Name of Love, Respect, It's in His Kiss, Baby Love... I love this group. |

Ain't nothing wrong with Soul/Motown/Atlantic singles. They were the greatest pop songs IMO; great choruses and melodies with quality instrumentation. |
||||||||

It isn't so much of a guilty pleasure, I guess... but it usually isn't my cup of tea to like or listen to girl groups! Damn, pop was great in the olden days. |

I really don't think pop music was any better then. I think that the passage of time has weeded out all the crap. |

The B-52s 'Love Shack' is now on the radio. Now this is a class tune. Its a great summer song. I always pair it with Dee Lite's 'Groove is in the Heart'. IMO good pop is the hardest kind of music to make. Because it swims in a sea of trite, good pop must work extra hard at sounding like a unique experience. I mean, listening to so-called IDM can most often be quite unique because it is less often replicated and sounds fresh. I'm a sucker for great melodies, especially great pop hooks; hence my love of Windowlicker (IMO the greatest pop tune of all time). |

You have a point there. Though to me, modern soul r & b sounds weak in comparison to the 60s/70s stuff. I mean, what contemporary artist can compare to Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On?' lp? |
||||||||

Really? The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The (teehee) Supremes, the Stones, the Kinks, the Who, the Doors, Hendrix, Cream, CCR, all kinds of great bands that could be considered pop... They were all great, and I would consider them ''pop''... they were popular! Sold records like mad. That would have been a nice environment to be in, lots of innovative artists also selling like crazy. Well, there's lots of bad 60's-70's pop, too, but more pros than cons! Tons of nice bubblegum one hit wonders, too. |

There's lots of good 80s pop as well, if you're into new wave. :) It's hard to predict what will stand the test of time in the 90s+, record sales aren't always reliable - Paul Revere and the Raiders are a good example from the 60s. As far as the current state of R&B, I'm not a listener, so I can't comment on that... |

People always have a chuckle at Bob Marley, but I think his music is so heartfelt & simple , I just ignore the drugs reference ... people assume you're stoned when you say U like Bob but that never put me off, so its not guilty really... Really Guilty pleasure ? hmmm... still liking the Smiths (lets face it you're not supposed to these days !) |
||||||||

I'm not sure about the 80s, it was a pretty dire (straits) decade for pop music at least. The production has dated more than a lot of 60/70s stuff. Anyone like Daphne & Celeste? "Ooh stick you. Your momma too, and your daddy..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Blech, I'm not too into the '80s pop scene... I agree, the production of '80s stuff, most of it, has aged badly... Jimi Hendrix's guitar tones sound great even today, but a lot of 80's synths sound great only when used in a fucking Weird Al parody, or something... I love retro sounds, but only stuff that's pre-1974, or around there... synthesizers seemed to mark the advent of severe cheese... hmm... Now the SMITHS are great, my favorite 80's artists by far. |

Morrissey was and is a cunny. Johnny Marr's guitar work was great though. You're right Ophecks, Jimi's guitar work hasn't dated. I mean, listen to a Merman I Should Be on Electric Ladyland, that sounds so fresh today even. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Johnny Marr is great. I love the guitar in This Charming Man. I love ringy guitar tones. Morrissey WAS a bit of a dick, probably still is. ''Hang the DJ!'' |
||||||||

Don't forget racist! I reckon the best guitaring is How Soon Is Now? Or maybe Big Mouth Strikes Again. They were really studenty however. |

I think Van Morrison rocks, though not really pop |
||||||||
|

ok nice thread cos I have a lot: queen (in spain its not cool at all to say you like queen... its sooo comercial) pulp (in this MB i feel that people would look at me like thinking "here comes the pinky popish" if they knew I love pulp) moby ( I just have "play" and I have to recognise I like that album... though I hate the man, its also a problem only in this MB, outside seems to be very apreciated) chemical brothers (I love the first two albums) fatboyslim (so far you may think I have the worst music taste in this MB) and well its enough for today... I dont wann get banned for my bad taste... hehehe |

Van Morrison has made some classic stuff; hold you head high. So have Pulp Nacman. This Is Hardcore is such a great song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not really ashamed to say i like the older albums by oasis, the offspring and marilyn manson... but some may find it embarrassing... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like pulp since their first releases back in 85. but the release I like more is Separations and pulpintro (1992-93) which have some electronic touch... added to jarvis´ incredible voice and lyrics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have "smash" by offspring (dont tell anybody) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh i like smash and ixnay... had them on mp3, lost them after reformating my hd... (i also have conspiracy of one but this one kinda suck) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd watch yourself Nacmat, you'll be telling us you have Counting Crows next :D I love the Sugababes; great pop by talented young uns. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont like counting crowes... not yet |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Glad to hear it. I thought we'd lost you there Nacmat. |
||||||||
|

I like old 80ies pop, that everyone else hates, with corny lyrics and wacko synths. like HEATWAWE! and i like, seriusly like them...... And Kenny rogers, is kinda cool. and Village people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I am proud to tell you I loooove Madonna! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love 'Just Dropped In...' by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition (in the Big Lebowski). It makes me want to dance like a loon. Madonna has made some good stuff; Ray of Light lp for example. She has a knack of getting good producers in though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I liked Madonna's work with Mirwais more than Wiliam Orbit's. pity that 'music' was produced by them both,and not by Mirwais only. |

'Waiting for a Star to Fall' by Boy Meets Girl (from 3 Men and a Little Lady) is on the radio and I'm getting a guilty pleasure. Oh yes, the sax solo; go on! |

The greatest pop song ever: Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello |
||||||||
|
|

Some songs from the Sound of Music and the Wizard of Oz ... and I'm not gay :) |

--Re-animated after another close to death encounter-- Hi Folks. I am a.....--drummroll-- Hardcore Wu-Tang fan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. Wu-tang. So shoot me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I guess The Residents perhaps? Nobody seems to like them, but I do... And Renaldo and the Loaf, I always get 'what the hell?' looks whenever I play it. And to the person who was embarassed for listening to Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers, you have nothing to be ashamed of. If it wasn't for those 2 artists I probably wouldn't of found out about Aphex Twin and all the other electronica artists I'm into now, they kind of started it for me. And I still like to listen to them now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit are my guilty pleasures. -_- Also minutes 19:00 - 21:00 off of Daft Punk's "Alive 1997" cd never fails to give me an orgasm so that must be as guilty as guilty pleasures get. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't c what's wrong wit Wu |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nothing wrong with Wu-Tang either... and Blink 182 has some funny videos, and a talented drummer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WILLIAM ORBIT YES!!! I love this guy and almost all his production work but I can't really say he's a guilty pleasure. Also, I listen to The Chemical Brothers and the Crystal Method still (they are what got ME into electronica), but I'm not ashamed of it. I do have to say though that I don't listen to Fatboy Slim and I never will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually it's Ae for me & i never give a hint about them outside of home unless i'm asked about what specific artists i listen to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
