Guilty Pleasures... (house, pop, rock, single, The Cranberries)

Piss Me Off · 08-22-2008, 09:54 AM

In terms of my guilty pleasures i like them and am perfectly comfortable with liking them, but i know they're seen as a bit of a taboo so call them as such.

One i've had lately is a band called Grabba Grabba Tape, which is basically Daft Punk if they made 1 minute long songs and were in Nathan Barley. It's trash but it's addictive.

I'm not going to lie a freaking love that song. I have a friend you can immitate it perfectly, it's pretty awesome.

The Cranberries had a few very good songs, "Zombies," "Linger," and "Dreams." Anyone who likes The Cranberries' hit singles should check out The Sundays, a band that predated The Cranberries, but had a somewhat similar style. Especially listen to "My Finest Hour" and "Here's Where The Story Ends."

I'll look into it. I have a lot of music that I need to listen to already.

Piss Me Off · 08-22-2008, 02:27 PM

I like The Sundays, don't really think of them as that similar though. The Cranberries are a lot more rocky but in sort of see what you're getting at.

Yeah, I don't think they're identical, but I think the style of guitars and vocals are somewhat similar. It's not certain that liking one would mean liking the other, but I think the chance is high enough that it's worth recommending.

Quilty Pleasures:

The Discography of Amy Winehouse... I think the little bitch got soul & a great ****in' voice. Neo-soul. At least she ain't a teeny bopper. At least she's a badass who screams she ain't goin' to rehab if they drag her, at least she has videos of herself on youtube hitting crack, at least she ain't a blonde (despite that one horrible debauched hairdye job...), at least she walks around in London in nowt but her bra, at least she don't give a **** about tattoos or piercings or weird hairdos.

Another quilty pleasure.
Say It Ain't So - Weezer. I just like the song. Reminds me of a loved one. I like the loudness of it when I'm pissed off or sad. I think the band looks like they should be riding the short bus in the video, but. Despite that. I just like the goddamn song.

Also,
Dirty Day - U2... I read that they dedicated the song to Bukowski on stage on day, so I had to download it. (Am I a bit obsessed or what? Well if you're gonna be obsessed about something, Bukowski isn't something awful, just the opposite)... I actually like the song. Could see how'd they dedicate it to Buk. Dirty day, yeah.
