Everybody has their own secret love when it comes to music.
Usually it happens because your friends don't hold that particular type of music in high favor.
I think for me, the only music I'd really be ashamed to admit enjoying is Bryan Adams.
He was one of the group of ballad singers that came out in the 80's and I used to listen to him on the radio.
Now "Summer of 69" isn't a song I'm ashamed of, but I think it's the exception to the rule with this guy.
Most of the rest of his music is some sort of love song.

Mine would have to be J-pop. I mean like the really poppy songs. The song called "Welcome UNKNOWN" that's sung by Aya Hirano and Chihara Minori comes to mind. If you've ever heard that song then you know it's really.. not my regular music type, which is rock. Pretty much most of the Haruhi character albums are part of this guilty pleasure.

I can't help that I like this music.. it's just awesome sometimes.

I love to listen to love songs a lot tho I wouldnt admit that >.>. most of my friends and family knows that usualy listen to jrock, jrock or punk music.

the Waifs and Missy Higgins >.> <.< what?!

The Offspring probably

Micheal Jackson Songs?

i love opra, sarah brightman, andrea bocelli good stuff

jackson can't be a guilty pleasure! its classic stuff.

Gackt......my friends laugh at me when I play his music.

I don't really favor some of his hair styles though.

But his music is cool...

Avril Lavigne. All my guy friends make fun of me for listening to her, so I make sure to never play her while they're around. Although, I think her new CD really sucks. I wish she'd have stayed with a more "rock/punk" sound rather than just putting out a pop album.

Haha I have admit, and I'll be branded a hypocrite by my friends if they ever found out..


but artists such as Tiesto,Cascada, John Gibbons, Basshunter, Special D...i quite enjoy that haha!
Alot really :3.
I am always complaining about how the teenagers and people my age in Ireland don't listen to good music anymore, but when I go out to the Disco, and they play that Music, I go totally wild and I love it haha.
My friends are more into either Emo or 80's or Indie music, and I spend alot of time complaining about this kind of music, when really I do enjoy it.

Yep, it's gotta be Gackt.

Panic! At the Disco. I saw them live, I'm 19, and I was probably the oldest person there who wasn't a parent with their daughter.

I listen to classical music in secret... people dont think i would because of my metalhead appearance

Michelle Branch is a hottie

I find nothing more fun than driving up beside someone in my mustang on one of the main strips in my city with a great symphonic piece blaring out my rolled down windows. The looks I get . The only thing I feel a little ashamed about is liking artists like Ingrid Michelson who may be considered fairly girly.

@TheNat:

I actually have two male friends who are quite proud of their fanship of Avril. One of them also has no problem bumping down the street while listening to Fergie.

Speaking of punk rock, have you ever heard of the classic punk group called "X"? I was watching South by Southwest and saw them playing. The changes punk rock has gone through: If you thought todays punk rockers can't sing all that well, these guys don't have a clue when it comes to vocals.

It would have to be goth rock and repetitive Techno music. My fave guilty song ever is "What is Love". no joke......

The Moody Blues are my guilty pleasure.

I listen to techno/trance in secret, all my friends hate it for some reason and would make fun of me for listening to it

I guess Fall Out Boy... it's cool to hate on them now? I still like them though.

I, being the most metal person in the known universe, have a confession. I could listen to any amount of sad, slow, weeping and any j-pop song that comes along endlessly. I, the man with a heart of stone, enjoy more than anything else in the world sitting down and feel emotional while listening to a song. BUT NOT EMO, that isnt feelings, thats complaining.

I look at it as just another way of expressing the same emotions.
Metal has it's roots in darkness as well. It just expresses itself in a more aggressive manner.
Emo just seems somewhat adolescent to those of us who don't enjoy it.
I can't really rag on the music too much, but I certainly don't care for the lifestyle.

I can hardly believe that I'm coming to the defense of Emo.
I was about to throw a negative post out, and then I realized some similarities.
Emo isn't too far off from the Grunge movement of the 90's, and I'm a big fan of that music.
Musically it may be quite different, but the emotional source is much the same.

Guilty pleasures? Pop love songs XD like God must have spent a little more time on you by BSB

I don't really listen to it anymore, but I remember loving Third Eye Blind's album (I guess it was self-titled)

that's not something I would listen to in front of other people

also I enjoy Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and her music, but probably only because I think she is hot lol

it would have to be the jonas brothers!
i know its pretty gay, but their musics not that bad.

i'm a guy, so .. regina spektor
also the moulin rouge soundtrack

I secretly love Rihanna's music. ;o

the wicked soundtrack....

Pat Benetar... We belong.. lawlz..

dont tell anyone - but i love tatu , they are so cute.. and sang so passionatly

hentai

Most of my friends don't know I listen to Lily Allen, or wizard rock like Harry and the Potters.

Me too! I also like to listen to one hit wonders...

Techno is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwweeeeeessssssoooooooommmmmmeeeeeeeeeee.
My absolute favorite! Don't be ashamed to like it!
With techno there is such control over the sound that is produced. It allows for such distinct sounds and songs. :]

Dude, Regina Spektor is awesome.

Anyways, my guilty pleasure would have to be... certain... Exceptions to the rap genre. AND RAIJIN, before you jump on this, I still stand by what I've said. The rap I like is in a separate playing field than anything you listen to or defend.
That being said.
Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip is the most glorious rap/techno I've heard.

Another guilty pleasure would be songs like Caramelldansen and the speedycake remix, if anyone knows what that is.

Enigma but thats because my dad used to listen to it when I was little so I guess it grew on me, but yeah I think I am probably the only one out of my friends that listens to Enigma and I like both the instrumental songs and the singing ones.

Weird Al, he is funny but I feel like an imbecile for enjoying it.

cannibal corpse and morbid angel are my secret favorites. my friends wouldnt understand. it helps me calm down .. a lot.. after a long day of dealing with stupid ignorant people... like myself.. lol

Stay by Lisa Loeb shhhhh.

......coolio

i listen to disney songs when im in the mood @_@

britney spears... i know but i feel so guilty urggh

-Michael Jackson
*When I was a kid, I loved me some MJ. He was crazy! His music was all Pop Gansgter or something, and his music videos were awesome. And even though the full-length movies he made were horrifyingly horrible, they still mesmerized me.

-Weird Al
*Yeah, I'd have to agree. But again, I heard Weird Al as a kid and grew up with him. Come on, who DOESN'T want to hear a Coolio song get destroyed and then Coolio himself getting pissed about it.

-Coheed and Cambria
*I don't care whaty anyone say, CaC are fucking amazing. They are modern day progressive emo metal, and hybrid of many great genres, and the Claudio (the singer) can hit notes that most women couldn't hit. And its like, Retro Rush with Dream Theater. Fantastic!

-Y-

Music by Cirque du Soleil. Yes, fucking clown music a.k.a. Cirque music. I was flipping channels years back and ran across a performance called Varekai on Bravo. I don't even like clowns but if you saw the unbelievable these people were doing you too would be hooked.

The music? Simply mesmerizing. I've read reviews about the audio CD and how disappointed some non-fans and newbies were with it. I still bought it but being the audiophile that I am I ripped the DVD and made my own mp3s of the show...

So my secret four are: Bjork, Cocteau Twins, Ladytron and fucking clown music.

I love country music alot...

...a few people kno but alot of people dont... MEH cudnt care less wot they think anyway.

And for anybody who might think i'm redneck hick... errrrrr... i'm from England soo OWNED!!!
