The totally unbiased "Music you don't normally listen to but enjoy it nevertheless" thread.

[Hullu V3]

Yup, throw aside your ridiculous genre elitism and come out of the closet about listening to Spice Girls and enjoying every minute of it. Here we don't judge you as a faggot or any other minority group based upon your secret music affections.

I mostly listen to stuff like Periphery, Meshuggah and other rather heavy and beefy bands, but I'm a sucker for a good melody in any genre.

Good example of such a song would be this:

Song is fucking marvellous.

Come, educate us!

I don't normally like "cutesy" pop, but this is just really catchy

I don't listen to thrash metal or noise all that much, but still enjoy Slayer quite a lot and Vektor once in a while.

Also a lot of post-rock. I've kind of neglected the genre since it really requires you to be in a certain state of mind to hear imo.

except Talk Talk, I'll listen to them whatever time or place.

why is this a guilty pleasure? (that's what this thread is right?)

it actually sounds good, I've never even heard of it before so i don't know if there is a stigma attached but yeah

[AK'z]

I don't think this is a guilty pleasures thread.

Just music you don't normally listen to but enjoy.

Been enjoying this shit for quite a while. Don't really like pop rock, so I guess this qualifies for the thread.

[AK'z]

you don't like pop rock yet The Who is your avatar?

[hugarh]

[QUOTE=AK'z;36933254]you don't like pop rock yet The Who is your avatar?[/QUOTE]

The Who aren't really pop rock

[KirinoKousaka]

I usually listen to shit but sometimes I listen to good music and it looks out of place in my iPod

[AK'z]

[QUOTE=hugarh;36933266]The Who aren't really pop rock[/QUOTE]

probably right actually

[hugarh]

[QUOTE=AK'z;36933348]probably right actually[/QUOTE]

They started off kinda pop rock, but moved away before Tommy, and it was pretty much gone by Who's Next

[abs]

I really really like 'call me maybe'

[cardfan212]

I usually come off as a massive metalhead to most people who know me, but in reality I listen to drum & bass and 90's hip-hop more than metal nowadays.

[The First 11'er]

I love piano music and sympathy's. Sounds hipster and stupid, I know, but I enjoy sympathy's to a passion unimaginable. Unfortunately it's not exactly a social thing to do apparently and my friends dawn on me because of it, but whenever I need to study I just throw a sympathy on and it's soothing as hell.

[editline]25th July 2012[/editline]

Also love some old 50's lounge and/or jazz music to play as a background around the house.

[Nekro]

I listen to a lot of death metal, thrash metal, black metal, all that jazz...
...
I really quite enjoy Lady Gaga.

[AK'z]

I get what he means.

sympathy's = feels

makes sense.

Enjoying feels is pretty hipster I guess

Haha, fuck. My bad, I spelled symphony wrong and used auto correct not even realizing what it really meant.

[QUOTE=AK'z;36933254]you don't like pop rock yet The Who is your avatar?[/QUOTE]

Never really thought about The Who being a pop rock band. hugarh put it better than I'll ever do though.

[T.F.W.O.]

I listen to a lot of experimental electronic and industrial, but I like some "indie" rock like Kasabian and Elbow. Bjork is like the best of both worlds.

[TheHydra]

every so often i get really deeply into music composed in alternate tuning systems and then i'll abandon it for a while and come back

[kitthehacker]

I in all honestly really like Call Me Maybe.
It's genuinely a great song. Except for the lyrics.

[thisispain]

i've taken a liking to beach house:

that's very embarrassing.

[Njittie]

i really like limp bizkit even though i know you are not supposed to like limp bizkit

[lil timmy]

there are a couple of Fleetwood mac songs I actually like

[killerteacup]

Christ I gotta say I like call me maybe too

Though carly rae jepsen is like 26 which surprises the hell out of me

[WeekendWarrior]

I enjoy some Hardstyle.
