There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

RE: Guilty Pleasures

I totally have guilty pleasures when it comes to music (not so with movies or TV or books though). I wish I didn't (meaning I wish I just liked what I liked and was fine with it), but my inner music snob won't seem to give me peace.

The guilty pleasure song isn't finalized, but coming up with the list was hard. The artist I hate, song I love song was even harder for me. All the songs I like from artists I don't are usually HUGE radio songs that go beyond to the radio to muzak and commercials (that'd be the only way I'd ever hear them) and I can't put songs like that on a mix unless I have to. Just can't. So I really really had to dig for something that everyone hasn't heard ten zillion times. And of course, I still haven't decided on that either.

edit: drrty number. hee.

I can't put songs like that on a mix unless I have to. Just can't.

I can: "All I Wanna Do". "You're So Vain". "End of the Road". "Breathe Again". That Snoop song with the "Mothership Connection" sample. Lotsa big hits that I really dig by artists I otherwise have no use for.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I will often say I have many guilty pleasures, but I don't actually consider them guilty pleasures. Life's too short to deny that I enjoy pop, disco and select Olivia Newton John songs. *g*

Ann, that's a ferret.

In what circles? Around here, you can find a co-enjoyer for just about anything. IRL, NSM.

In what circles do I admit my guilty pleasures? Oh, anywhere. I used to be snobby about music back in college, but not so much anymore. I scoff and groan at times, but will also give a sheepish grin before I start singing along or shaking my booty.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I think t gasp! I am leaving off the "song you like by artist you hate" category altogether, in order to fit everything else. I decided I'd much rather let that category go than "guilty pleasure". And I am having the devil's own time finding a song from the year I was born that 1) I like and 2) I own. I may actually have to go buy another CD in order to get a song I'll be happy with, and I was hoping to avoid doing that.

Up with the sun

I am leaving off the "song you like by artist you hate" category altogether

Could I do that? I (just) have room for 20, but I'd rather do "stump Hec & Jon" or "TV theme song."

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Those are my two hardest categories, too (artist you hate/song you like & guilty pleasures, natch). So difficult that I haven't filled them yet. But I will persevere. The dude abides.

Well, I haven't cleared it with our benevolent dictator, but it's the only way I can fit the other 19 songs on there.

I had to cut one of the "bonus" categories, but I really wanted to try to stump Hec & Jon. (Although it was a local artist, so I don't know that it would have counted anyway.)

I chose to cut "song you like just for the title." It didn't make me too sad, but I did really like the song.
