I was listening to music on my phone the other day and somebody asked me, "What are you listening to?" "Ozzy Osbourne" "Oh... cool man" *insert derisive laughter here*
It made me wonder, the music used to be really popular, and I love it, but my likes are obviously not shared. It's hard not to start liking some of the classics, especially since I work with a lot of 40+ year old mechanics. I'm the youngest in the shop.
Is there any music you guys like that you would consider a "guilty pleasure?"

Doors - Just about everything with special emphasis on: Run with me, When the musics over, spanish caravan and Rider on the Storm

Guilty pleasures?
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama [Dobie Gray]: Drift Away Styx: Come Sail Away and Babe Looking Glass: Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) Dennis DeYoung: Desert Moon Queen: Fat Bottomed Girls and Bohemian Rhapsody
Those are the ones I always feel like I might be caught with. There are probably more that I'm blocking -- at least one thing by Captain & Tenille and something by Barry Manilow, for sure. But I always sing along in the car, anyway.

I don't feel guilty about any of the music I like. If it weren't awesome, I wouldn't like it.
Though...I know that a lot of people THINK I should feel guilty about:
Nsync, Backstreet Boys, both JT's albums Weird Al's entire discography (and videography) Korn, Linkin Park, Chevelle Eminem, Black Eyed Peas, ICP I have a ridiculous amount of folk rock.
I don't see how you could consider the classics to be "guilty" pleasures. I could never feel guilty about Simon and Garfunkel, Queen, or Schubert.

Hehe. Queen's too awesome for anyone to feel guilty listening to them.

I used to feel Nirvana was a guilty pleasure, but now I like them unashamedly.
Otherwise, no. I'm pretty good about not feeling ashamed about the things I like, but just continually redefining cool to fit. Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
Not really sure why the Doors would be a guilty pleasure. Their music has aged less than just about any other 60s/early 70s music I can think of. Morrison Hotel is still one of my favorite albums ever.
My guilty pleasure, musically speaking, is sitting and watching those half-hour Time-Life CD-collection infomercials. I don't watch infomercials otherwise, ever, but I just love watching these for all the old performance clips. There's also a really cool one that sells DVD collections made up from old Midnight Special episodes.

I find it inconvenient to "hear" certain personalities in voices. Pavaratti, for example, is almost ruined for me in operatic roles. All I hear is his ego. It is fine in concert or even in excerpts, but too much of him comes through. It seems to be about the voice rather than about the music.

It's funny--because my first reaction was similar. How could anyone enjoy that voice, right?
But it grew on me. I saw her live and absolutely loved it. There was a complete absence of that "indie" snobbery in her performance. Her voice isn't affected at all--it's very real and her performance was so honest and heartfelt.
Aside from that, her music and poetry are incredible. Creative, different, and beautiful.
I guess it's not for everybody, and I'm not trying to convince you that you'll like it. She's in my top 10, though.

quote:Originally posted by Nick: I would never confuse Ozzy with Black Sabbath, HOW DARE YOU!!! On an alternate note, is there any music that you would laugh at people for listening to?
Well, that's alright then.
Let's see... There's plenty of music that I don't personally like, but I don't laugh at someone just for having different taste. I used to laugh at people who would buy an album and then only listen to the one song that they'd heard on the radio, but mp3s and itunes have made the single-song purchase much more common. I may laugh if somebody takes their music way, way too seriously, and I tend to laugh when people accuse a band of "selling out." (Especially if it's a couple of albums after many other people have accused said band of selling out.)
Oh! Remember "Hit Clips"? It was an early flash-memory thing that wouldn't even hold an entire song so they would have just the catchy line or two and advertised it as "only the hot groove you love!" I laughed, do laugh, and will laugh at anyone who ever owned one of those.

quote:Originally posted by vonk: It takes a true music heathen to use the word "electronica".
If there's been a terminology update in the four years since I've been a DJ, I apologize, but last I checked, "electronica" was still the most accurate descriptor of "music that is performed on or influenced by electronic instruments."
Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :
This is how I've always heard of electronica, and it's always been with disdain (from urbandictionary.com):
quote:Electronica:
A word the media came up with to refer to all forms of Electronic Music. Electronica is not a music genre. For more information, see Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. Google it.
or
quote:contrary to the ignorant public that only likes the godawful top 40 and rap-pop stuff, electronica is not synonamous with electronic music. there are multiple genres of electronic music (like there are genres of rock) such as trance, house, techno, jungle, hardcore etc. electronica is a genre of electronic music that encompasses "listenable" subgenres like downtempo and IDM.
But, ya know, it may be a regional or cultural thing. All the DJs I know get really annoyed when someone refers to electronic music as electronica.
I assumed when you said "ANY and ALL electronic artists", you didn't mean a particular subgenre of electronic music.
But to each his own. I claim no empirical knowledge, only knowledge gleened from those with more than I.
Edit: also, that second quote is a lot harsher than I would have said it. Please don't take it as an attack or insult.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
See, all DJs I know, when referring to all of electronic music, refer to it as electronica. They get annoyed if you refer to, say, electro house as "electronica." When speaking broadly, though, it's the only accurate term. People who get annoyed with it are just ignorant; it makes as much sense to get annoyed at someone saying "Nirvana is a band" instead of "Nirvana is a grunge rock band."
People who insist "electronica" is a subgenre may be right, within whatever region they happen to be occupying, but are silly to insist that their nomenclature is absolute. "Electronica" has been a catch-all since the days of Aphex Twin. It's a useful, accurate descriptor.
And it's way, way better than me asking someone "Hey, did you hear the newest set of Cassius remixes?" and them responding "Nah, I don't listen to techno."
Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :

How about "electronic music", which both you and I seem to use regularly enough, in this conversation anyway?
quote:it makes as much sense to get annoyed at someone saying "Nirvana is a band" instead of "Nirvana is a grunge rock band."
I think it would be more like saying "Nirvana is an alternative band." I get a little peeved when people say that. "Alternative" is a media generated term to catch all distortion using music that came out at the time. Not the name of the genre, which would be better describe as "grunge", as you have done.
Because the term has been used for a long time, does not make it accurate.
I blame MTV.

Although neither of their latest releases really did it for me, I'm not ready to call it quits and say they suck now - and even if I was, it wouldn't stop me from listening to the old stuff.
My love for BSB and N*SYNC, etc. probably stems from my time spent in choirs and a cappella groups, since regardless of what you have to say about their music, both BSB & N*SYNC have talented vocalists.

Fair enough. And to be honest, 3/4 housemates I had last semester were also fans of them. And they delighted in playing their music loudly and singing along, I think partly just to elicit the groans and growls that would then emanate from my room.
