Friday thread: Favorite "guilty pleasure" singer or band?

We'll depart from books this week to discuss music, but specifically to have DR members confess to being a big fan of a band or singer that other users would find surprising based on what they assume about them. For instance, The Pope being a fan of Black Sabbath would be construed as a guilty pleasure.

In a pinch, you can list more than one....and a genre might even be considered a valid answer.

Fewer music fans than readers, I see. Ok, I'll start:

The Decemberists. Great music, but can't stand their politics.

^Agreed...Decemberists are one of the finest bands in the past decade...even with their libtard politics. Saw Steve Earle live many years ago and he is a HUGE libtard. He did this like 20 minute rant in the middle of the show. Hey buster: [shut up] and play a song! Oh yeah...that reminds me seeing Elvis Costello at Bannoroo. He also took time out to lecture us on how awful the US was because of Pres. Bush. Hey, Pal: You're not even a citizen, so [shut up] and play a song!

Current guilty pleasure: Tegan & Sara

I wonder if Doc will show up on this thread admitting he's a closet Toby Keith fan...

Like them too. "Back In Your Head" and "Walking with a Ghost" remind me of the '80s group Berlin.

Kelly Clarkson.

Clarkson has some pipes, but lordamighty she is seriously overplayed on the radio.

I desperately want to hate Kate Perry, but her songs are too catchy and she's too hot.

It's GUILTY pleasures, Nutcase. Admitting to liking Zeppelin is like admitting to liking breathing.

Big Band and Swing.

All of it. Those are the days of musicians. My boys love it too. They say its not noisy and loud.

Also certain songs from Angus and Julia Stone and Glen Hansard.

I like them too, but most of it isn't a guilty pleasure. It's just good.
