No individuals to feel guilty about, but there's a whole lotta soft-rockin' 1970s songs I love that regularly appear on "Worst of the '70s" lists. (What can I say, I'm a sucker for lush melodies and Univibe pedals?) Most notorious trio: "You Light Up My Life", "Afternoon Delight" and "Seasons In The Sun".

Someday I'll compile a CDR-worth of Styx toons, but I refuse to shed any guilt over 'em.

Return to Forever. Especially their last two studio LP's. "Musicmagic" is brilliant!

Lots of hardcore--Reversal of Man, Palatka, Assfactor 4, Indian Summer, Current, etc.

been dipping into the funky end of the jazz-rock fusion pool: roy ayres, instrumental kool & the gang, especially donald byrd. Despite some easy-listening trappings, Black Byrd from 73 is BAD. I saw Return to Forever around 76 on acid, however, so Im too afraid of flashbacks to listen again. the oft-sampled in the 80s stuff from CTI like Grover Wash Jr and Bob James is dope, but you all knew that.

GUILT IS FOR CATHOLICS

Unlocking this thread was the worst idea in ILM history.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 March 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

loads of bourgeois dinner party music and broken beat (Jazzanova, Hotel Costes compilations, etc). I've only developed a little complex about it because it's never ever discussed on ILM and so I'm thinking it's not Important Music.

west coast emo like struggle and swing kids.

Tell me more of this 'guilt.'

Guilt is also for Jews, duh

Ute Lemper.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 02:22 (twenty years ago) link

At the moment it's Laura Branigan, or at least "Self Control."

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago) link

"guilty" only as in "i know it hurts my friends' ears when i play it" but these are 2 of my favourite songs :
barry mcguire - eve of destruction
canned heat - going up the country

i have also been told i should feel guilty about pat benatar "we belong" and OMC "how bizarre"
but it doesn't touch me at all.

two weeks pass...

Geez Adam....no guilt will be had about Ute. Find me a more sultry cabaret type for this era.

Can we change this to guilty music READING. I'm still enthralled with Ned's fucked up Michael Sembello thread. That was so masochistic! I go back and read it again.

coldplay ... though i suspect that they're the british dave matthews band, i still like 'em.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 18 March 2004 07:23 (twenty years ago) link

i really thought that dave matthews had started playing brit pop when i heard coldplay for the first time.

Maroon 5.

The things that I like that are most anathema here are all the Radiohead-lite stuff and Blur (outside of MLIR).

If there's one thing I get ILM hivemind elitist about, it's the phrase 'guilty pleasures' and the billion threads about it. It should be banned, or something.

Credit JBR with the find.

sixteen years pass...

I don't know if this counts... if you like (very) 90s alternative check it out and let me know. I'm addicted to "Life Lesson"
