@tim from champaign, sounds like you are entirely too well-adjusted for the neurotic likes of (most of) us here! Keep in mind there's an upside to this sort of guilt: it adds a transgressive thrill. You know, like how some serious Catholics are totally crazy in the sack.

@lane the namesake creep of those Gary Glitter records had so little to do with what makes the records good that I think you can listen guilt-free. Lostprofit fandom, on the other hand, would be much more of a problem. Thank goodness they were always a terrible band.

I've never heard No Doubt before. While the song was playing, I was thinking, "booooring; was this song a hit? How?" Not even exciting enough to be a guilty pleasure; not even interesting enough to ridicule. Now that the song is over, I've totally forgotten it.

I'm from the camp of "there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure" regarding music... If it brings ya a few minutes of happiness/feeling something, what's the big deal?

That said, I do feel most of the "guilty pleasure" lists end up being not necessarily about the song or record itself, but how popular it was and how the listener doesn't what to be grouped with the folks who earnestly made it popular.

Given some of the stuff Joe McG plays (and don't get me wrong, I love him... mostly), I can *totally* believe he has no guilty pleasures. But that's dangerous because it leads to Don Felderism. Matt Warwick could use a little more guilt in his life for torturing us with Don Felder's vile, seething pit of dim-witted musical horror every week.

Speaking of 'Vinyl': I was interviewed by Olivia Wilde (over a truly weird breakfast — I ate, she didn't) because she was thinking of hiring me for her 'Booksmart' film. At one point, I couldn't contain my thoughts any longer and I told her what crap 'Vinyl' was — except for her fake Warhol screen test. She took the compliment, but I didn't get the job. Oh well...

@Kurt is right though, one thing that hasn’t been discussed yet is how being deafeningly overplayed affects how a song is perceived. Does overexposure turn things that are just “pleasures” into “guilty pleasures”? Would Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, The Eagles be such “guilty pleasures” if they hadn’t been so ridiculously overplayed?
