Yep. I used to think I was the most metal guy I would ever know. Then Gaga came around and ruined that.

I'm not guilty about any of the music I enjoy. Why should I be?

I don't know if it's "guilt" as I'll admit what I listen to to just about anyone, but I usually expect to get some funny looks for liking...

- Most smooth jazz (Spyro Gyra, Kenny G, Herb Alpert, Bob James/Fourplay, etc)
- Lady Gaga, but only because of the usual "phenom" backlash
- Tokio Hotel
- Limp Bizkit
- N*SYNC

Exactly what I always say.
Although, one artist I love seems to get laughed at : Barry Manilow. I think the Family Guy scene when the 4 guys say how much they dislike him but eventually admit that they love him is spot on, as there are a lot of people who feel that way.

Like Mick Foley, I'm a sucker for Christmas music and will listen to it all year long.

Tiny Tim:
-Amazing range. Could sing baritone AND Falsetto
-Worked well with the arrangements (though he didn't do them.)
-Amazing wealth of music knowledge. He could've been a historian.

I don't care what anyone says; "Mandy" is one of the best songs ever. The Ultimate Manilow compilation gets played a lot here.

"Ready To Take a Chance Again" is the only thing I like from him, but I understand what you mean.

Though not guilty, I, too, get strange looks when people find out that I listen (and sing along) to Justin Timberlake.

[Biggtone23]

Englebert Humperdink...that dude can just freaking sing.

[Jason]

Justin Bieber. What can I say, his music is catchy as hell.

[Macho Dude Handy Damage]

That song by Ke$ha.

[pks]

Underoath, Rick Ross, and Paramore.

Not horrible, but really doesn't fit in with the other music I listen to.

[Orange]

I wouldn't call them guilty pleasures, but some people are surprised to find out I like

Ke$ha
Tiny Tim (a few songs, they're so damn enjoyable how can you not like them? They're like cartoon music)

[Deleted]

I don't do "guilty" pleasures. If I like them, why the hell should I feel guilty about it? It's just music.

That said, I enjoy Stacie Orrico.

I love Tiny Tim too. Man was a genius.

[Deleted]

I'm under the "why should they be guilty if I love listening to it?" factor as well, although I will still agree that the following I like either gets raised eyebrows or WTF's from friends and family.

Avril Lavigne (at least, her first two albums. Last one sucked!)
Paramore
Some Lady Gaga
Justin Timberlake

BTW, unlike DiBiase, I am not ashamed to tell everybody that I love to listen to Barry Manilow. I think he's great.
