Your statement is purely subjective and irrelevant, especially since I never claimed that "popular" is always right anyway.

Not to mention that it does nothing to disprove my statement that Nugent produced some of the best hard rock of the classic rock era.

And I certainly wouldn't classify his music as "popular" in the same sense as the music of Britney Spears.

Love him or hate him, he produced some of the finest hard rock of the classic rock era.

Not disputing his popularity , mearly suggesting that at the end of the day you're listening to a guy in a loin cloth singing about his penis.
Thats about one step away in the embarressment stakes as owning a Manowar album in my eyes.

Your above statements comprise a simplistic and gross generalization of Nugent and his music, based on your own deep personal bias.

The hard fact is, in the overwhelming majority of his concerts he never wore a loin cloth, and the great majority of his songs are NOT about his penis.

And at least he played REAL rock music, unlike so many of the s--- bands of today who take the GRAND PRIZE in the "embarrassment stakes".

You would also hide from Ted Nugent.

The man is an evil genius. Emphasis on the fifth and sixth words

Okay, I'm sorry...but R.E.M.'s one of the greatest bands of all time...and that song is a million miles from a guilty pleasure.

Man On The Moon-R.E.M
That should not be classed as a guilty pleasure. It is based on the actor Andy Kaufmann of Taxi fame, and subsequently, the subject of a brilliant film by Milos Forman.

Anything by Maroon 5. What great production on their album.

Not a Nugent fan. Though some of his songs are so shamelessly crude and stupid that they are somewhat of a guilty pleasure.
