secretly, i kinda dig the Rippingtons for their BS kinda laundry detergent kind of music. i have no quams about saying i really like justing timberlakes musical offerings (lets not talk about his acting, ok?), but i dont listen to pop radio. i just dont. i tried listening to x103 the other day and they played a Nickelback song. it was beyond bad. beyond s—-ty. its hurt my soul; but i know some of you have your own secret stash of mp3s on a hidden playlist somewhere. dont worry, i used to like Enuff Z’Nuff.

what are you embarrassed to say you enjoy listening to?

Blondie's Rapture.... one of my shameful favorites. She busts a flow man.

Thanks for the Blondie video and the trip down Reminiscence Road. A lot of people don't realize that was the first rap influenced song they probably heard since it was the first to reach #1 in the Billboard chart in 1981.

My guilty music pleasure might be anything bubblegum from the 60s like Red Rubber Ball...

I haven't heard that forever!! Love it!

I'm sure if someone looked at my playlist (so eclectic one might think I have split personalities) they'd see more than one "shameful" song on it...David Cassidy's I Think I Love You, Everclear's AM Radio, The DeFranco Family's Heartbeat, it's a Love Beat...and this one (a favorite when I was ten...still goin' strong) Hot Child in the City, Nick Gilder.

Yeah, my playlist is full of "Oldies" music from the 50's and 60's I just love that stuff.

I think everything is cyclical so that stuff is gonna come back around eventually. People are going to let out all of thier anger, and move on to the next stage of grief which is reflection. They are going to reflect on the past and find an easier time, the easy goin 50's will return!

My guilty pleasure would have to be 80's hair-band music. Poison, Ratt, Europe, Tesla, Mr. Big, Cinderella. Gotta love it.

I have a pretty wide variety of music. My latest purchases consist of, Ice Cube and Disturbed.

The ones that keep me goin' back are Bob Seger and James Taylor.

BTW... LOVE Blondie !

I admit, I listen to Kylie Minogue's Locomotion at the gym. She re-recorded it recently, less 80s.

I ain't ashamed of nothing. Not even bad grammar. But I have a love of cheesy pop that some might think I should be ashamed of. Duran Duran. ABBA. Can you hear the drums, Fernando? Yes. Yes, I can.

There is no such thing as guilt when it comes to ABBA. I love Britney Spears. But I'm not guilty about that, either.

I do feel shame when I admit that I listened to that Limp Bizkit song about taking the cookie more than once and didn't hate it.

That's shameful.

Well, I have been known to sing along to Robbie Williams, but that's only a guilty pleasure on this side of the Atlantic. The man is bigger than Elvis in the U.K.

I should probably also fess up to Phil Collins, who's a really disturbing guy to like if you've just finished reading American Psycho. The less similarities between me and that protagonist, the better.

Oh, and George Michael. Damn I love me some George Michael music. Freedom. Careless Whisper. Faith. Outside. Hells yeah...

Ha! That speech of Bateman's about Sussudio while he's . . . well, it was quite hilarious. I loved Collins when I was a tyke, and I still sort of do. I have a theory about the song "Take Me Home". The video notwithstanding, I think it's about a very drunk guy begging for a ride home. Or maybe that's just my personal experience talking.

Gag, Robbie Williams. The death of Brit Pop has a first and last name.

But he was really funny in "Little Britain."
