Location: Chicago | Classical pianist Glenn Gould had Petula Clark as his "guilty pleasure." Most of us are serious about "our" genre (classic rock, jazz, country etc). So what is your MUSICAL guilty pleasure?
Confession: I will take in a side of Pantera now and then, especially from "Vulgar Display of Power." Then I worry: does it speak to my inner National Socialist? |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I don't feel guilty about any of it. From classical to jazz to bluegrass to heavy metal to grunge, to folk to blues, any of it, if it is played well is good. I'm proud to own up to all of it. |

Location: Newington, CT | Great question!
Unfortunately, I probably have too many to list, but I'll try. Including many I used to treat with utter disdain. I've liked one whole heckuva lot of genres in my day, then left them, only to work my way eventually back to them all...
So, here goes: pop, rock, hard rock, jazz (and its various flavors: free, smooth, improvisational, contemporary), classical/orchestral (and most of its flavors: baroque, classical, romantic, impressionistic, contemporary, opera, light opera, light orchestral), flamenco, Russian folk, Italian folk, French folk.
I'm sure I missed more than a few.
I really like lots of examples of all of 'em. Though I feel guilty, I s'pose, only about pop, rock and hard rock.
Never really cottoned to disco, grunge, punk, death metal, heavy metal, rap, hip hop, and don't have any guilty pleasures in any of 'em. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | OK...this one is really bad. I like to watch Glee. If I was 17, that wouldn't be a big deal but I'm 51. I enjoy all the singing and dancing. It's like a head on collision between American Idol and You Think You Can Dance. |
