Guilty pleasures: Metal Edition!

Flight of the Bumblebee – Manowar. Rimski-Korsakov’s frenetic violin interlude played on a bass guitar by an oiled up egomaniac wearing a loin cloth. Without a sense of irony. Yeah…

Rock You Like A Hurricane – The Scorpions. I grew up in the 80s, leave me alone!

Pull Me Under – Dream Theater. If you were a music geek with long hair in high school, you know what I’m talking about.

Through Fire and Flames – DragonForce. I know they just speed up the tape in the studio, I know they can’t play it live, I know its ridiculous in ways that are hard to count. But its just sooooooo fun!

Rasputin – Turisas. A song by German disco group Boney M, covered by a ren faire metal act from Finland. You just haven’t lived until you’ve heard Euro dance beats on top of double bass drums, paired with distorted guitars, a fiddle, and an accordion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y150Lm4kZ_M

@S.H. Exactly!

@MaryC: Awesome. I definitely have Sonic 1&2 on my iPod, as well as Myst. The thing is that they’re all very well composed, but just kinda crappy because it’s old midi composition…

Norbiz, if you scrub the vocals from Obsession, you’re left with the hottest dance jam ever produced.

Nothing wrong with Mika. I wouldn’t be embarrassed by that…

Nelly- Hot in Here

Against Me-Stop! (I love Against Me, but this song is lame)

Aha

Any song by the Awesome Snakes (same band as the Soviettes)

Billy Idol- Flesh for Fantasy and To Be a Lover. I also had one of his newer albums that was awful but it doesn’t show on itunes, so I’m safe.

@Sepra: I was going to list my “Legend of the Mystical Ninja,” “Battletoads,” “Sonic the Hedgehog 2″ and “Mystic Quest” tracks, but then I decided I don’t feel guilty about those at all. It’s my childhood dammit!

1: Bat Out of Hell -Meatloaf
2: Two versions of Total Eclipse of the Heart by Hurra Torpedo and Kiki and Herb.
3: Six hours of anime soundtrack music. Granted about 3/4th of that is Yoko Kanno but still.
4: Music from The Sims 2.
5: Two versions of “Venus”

Obviously, I have a softspot for Jim Setinman.

I have a bunch of tunes on my itunes list that I uncheck so they don’t make it on to the actual ipod:

1. Pieces of me – Ashlee Simpson
2. Ain’t nothin bout you – Brooks n Dunn
3. Wanna be startin somethin – Michael Jackson
4. This is how a heart breaks – Rob Thomas
5. I would’ve loved you anyway – Trisha Yearwood

and Jenga I know what you’re sayin about Sexy Can I, I love that guy’s voice too but the lyrics are just awful. I’m piling up alot of r&b/rap guilty pleasures mostly Akon related. I’m also driving my fiancee nuts playing Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” constantly. I’m not sure if it counts as a guilty pleasure or not, but you either love or hate that song, there’s no middle ground.
