back when TMIL was released in 2006, there was a magazine about top guilt pleasures. Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman BOOH was number one

Pudding · 24 Aug 2009, 21:52

It was a close call, but Garth got my vote, always go for the underdog

guys, let's remember to stick to the topic

Pudding · 24 Aug 2009, 22:28

There's a topic?

It's just a link to poll on another website between Meat Loaf and Garth Brooks where the only thing they have in common is...errr...nothing

Where's the topic?

Seriously, it's kinda asking for a random discussion

I for one don't think that Meat Loaf and Garth Brooks are guilty pleasure's. Why feel guilty for liking either one? My guilty pleasure is someone like Savage Garden or Tina Turner

Evil One · 25 Aug 2009, 01:04

Nothing wrong with Tina Turner either really. Impressive she's still going at her age.

You're right there's absolutely nothing wrong with Tina Turner and she looks great to be 70.

Pudding · 25 Aug 2009, 06:51

I like some of Celine Dions stuff and I aint gonna feel guilty for saying so

**RadioMaster** · 25 Aug 2009, 08:34

you will after the next steinmeet

evil nickname · 25 Aug 2009, 08:57

Why would anyone feel guilty about listening to anything they damn well like to listen to? I listen to lots of stuff, and there's nothing there that I'd label as a 'guilty pleasure,' as I don't feel guilty about liking what I like.

**RadioMaster** · 25 Aug 2009, 12:20

i think the key word is peer pressure.

Come on, NO ONE of you would feel a little ashamed if they listened to Westlife??

Evil One · 25 Aug 2009, 13:04

There's a difference between a guilty pleasure and a shameful pleasure!

And in the example quoted regarding Westlife, no pleasure at all.

evil nickname · 25 Aug 2009, 14:36

O, well, maybe I'm just not insecure enough to be bothered by what other people feel I shouldn't listen to.

I listen to some Westlife stuff and don't feel ashamed. I'd feel ashamed listening to it and denying it.
