Not a whole lot I'd say "guilty" necessarily... There's definitely some country in there and even REALLY BAD country but that's just casual listening in the car less than something I seek out. Same thing with some trash metal stuff like A7X or FFDP but again, that's more just stuff if I hear it on the radio, not something I put in my playlist.
If I was gonna pick out something it's outside of my norm and I actually go out of my way to listen to, I'd say a lot of 90s alt rock top 40 stuff. Production and songwriting was pretty impressive, im also a sucker for a dry AF snare drum.

I've said this from the very first time we had one of these threads on ss.org, but I don't have "guilty pleasures." If I like something, I have zero reason to feel guilty about liking it. From someone else looking at me, they might assume that my "guilty pleasures" are the R&B pop I listen to, the Japanese pop I listen to, the house/dance/electronica I listen to, or the 80s new wave I listen to, but I fail to see why I should feel guilty of any of this stuff.
But then again, depending on the audience, a lot of people would think I should be embarrassed for the 80s hair metal that I like.Comment

I'm with you, I'm not embarrassed by the music I like but 99% of it I think is respected anyway even if it's outside of my usual interest (like Johnny Cash or Genesis). So it takes a little more work to think of something I like that most of my peers probably don't like at all.Comment

I think a more apt description would be "music I enjoy most people think is crap, or I even know is crap but I like it anyway".

Someone on MM.org is a Winger fan so I checked them out. Some really good musicianship! Not sure how socially acceptable it is to sing "she's only seventeen"...Comment

Not guilty about it at all, but recently I've been obsessing over the Night Flight Orchestra, which is a side project of the singer and guitarist from Soilwork and the bassist from Arch Enemy, which plays '80s rock (sort of Toto-ish). Album after album of ridiculously catchy and well-played songs. Here are two of their most recent videos:

You guys are all too busy debating the validity of a "guilty pleasure" and whether or not you have to feel guilty for it to count to actually have fun with this thread.
I love the, well, the whole production of this, but especially the guitar just because it's so subtly out there, for the song. The whole album, I think, is pretty great, and definitely has rubbed off on me a little, with my fndness for random atmospheric guitar noise.

I've always loved his clean vocals, but don't really like his screaming - I tolerate the screams because Soilwork is cool otherwise. So to hear his singing in this kind of context is pretty awesome.Comment

They're all good, but Amber Galactic is probably just slightly above the others. Their first two albums, Internal Affairs and Skyline Whispers, are a little crunchier and more like early '80s rock (Foreigner, pre-Jonathan Cain Journey, JLT-era Rainbow). The heavier synths come in with Amber Galactic, but I think the songwriting kicks up a notch, too.
Oh, and I read an interview with Daniel Andersson, who plays most of the guitars and writes the bulk of the songs, and it turns out he's a gastroenterologist. Soilwork and TNFO are just side hustles for him. I can't even imagine having enough hours in the day to juggle all thatLast edited by jacksonplayer; 09-14-2021, 12:12 PM.Comment
