What's your guilty pleasure?

[Ben Randolph]

That guy who sings for Gloryhammer looks like the guy who ran the Cleric in my old high school D&D campaign. They're supposed to be parody, but they're so close to something like Rhapsody that its pretty funny.

Yeah, power metal is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Rhapsody are excellent musicians, but it's high on the cheese factor. Their albums have pull out maps and storylines that probably come from their Sunday afternoon Rolemaster campaign.

Somtimes I've got to blast some Rhapsody, though. Dragonforce, too.

Though for ultimate cheese, you can't forget Manowar. Titans of bad album covers:

You don't just like that album for the music, do ya?

I remember first hearing 'power metal' in the 90s, and I was all....what the fuck is that? Power is fucking Pantera. RAAOOOWWRRRR.

So... I just saw Gloryhammer last night and I thought I'd resurrect this thread to say this: They Effing rocked!

Support was by Gueensland's Largerstein, who played really fun Pirate Metal in full costume and drank boggling amounts of alcohol on stage and never broke character. Gloryhammer was pretty high on the cheese factor, but in a very entertaining way. Even some of the audience turned up in leather armour and unicorn suits (!). But all the cheesy fun would have been pretty lame if the music wasn't tight and the solos ripping. Fortunately they played and sang their butts off. Even my wife, who is not a metal fan, got in to the totally epic fun.

Most fun I have had in ages! Did I mention it was fun?

1. Married with Children
2. Entertainment news

[plyall]

Connie Francis

And "Secret Agent Man"...I love that tune...

Secret Agent Man was Johnny Rivers, IIRC. He was the cousin of my friend up the street. Also one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar! Right up there with the 'Batman theme' (from the TV show). Good times!

 

[gibvictory]

MacArthur Park, really.

My guilty pleasure is 80's hair band ballads.

 

[Suhrfer]

Loverboy's Get Lucky album...or 8 track...or cassette...or CD.

 

[Suhrfer]

If you wouldn't feel comfortable cranking it up with the car windows rolled down, then it's probably a guilty pleasure. I take back Loverboy :lol

Umm....

[BigD1977]

Wow! Good question. I have no musical shame though so it's hard to think of something that's guilty.....

Lorde, Lady Gaga, Tesla (although just their acoustic album), U2, Metallica (some would say), Oasis, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Ol' Blue Eyes (well, the whole Rat Pack really.....), Placebo, Queen, Abba, Kings Of Leon (although not all their albums...... they're subject to the same pop law as everyone else ["Given a long enough timescale, every pop band will eventually turn into U2" - Big D's Law]), Coldplay (first three albums... after that they became subject to Big D's law also), Old Bon Jovi..... I'm sure there are others!
