That's not a guilty pleasure?!

A Rick James jam? Not "guilty" in the least.

ah, man, at least you haven't covered bob dylan or the beatles, i tell you.

This one is a stretch because it is arguable about whether this group can be considered 'god-awful' or not.

There is a pop group from Denmark called Junior Senior. On album, this group is one svelte multi-instrumentalist chap (Junior) and a big gay bear of a singer (Senior). They had one incredible successful single in the UK which was alrightish. My friend liked this song quite a lot so he bought the record. At the time, I was between cars so I spent a lot of time in his vehicle listening to this record on repeat, slightly mad that he didn't want to listen to Kyuss during the day. Secretly, I didn't mind it so much. Junior Senior were a decent enough pastiche of the B52s, Run DMC and assorted pop shite from the 80s. They also made a decent enough second album a few years later on, which could hardly be called 'god-awful'. Most of their songs are tolerable, with one exception.

Nestled later on in the first record is the song 'Boy Meets Girl'. I'm not kidding you here, this is one of the greatest pop songs ever written. The sound could be described as what would happen if Phil Spector remixed a song from the first B52s album. It's been on every feel good mixtape I have made in the past five years or so. I never tire of it, it's just fucking superb. Off hand, I can't think of a pop song I enjoy anywhere near as much.

Junior Senior are not a guilty pleasure. They're awesome.

Life in Detail by Robert Palmer is an excellent song.

Thru and Thru is the only good Rolling Stones song.

tangled up in blue : Bob Dylan.
Jesus of Suburbia : Greenday.
Black Shuck : The Darkness.
Centerfold : J. Geils Band.

seems Mr. Albini does not allow himself the guilty pleasures. never mind. party on Wayne...........

ok. point taken. i shall replace Dylan with Pantera's Cowboys From Hell and Walk. si?

if you absolutely CRANK the song 'hurt you so bad' by crazytown, it fucking rules

i once blared this song and told about 8 of my friends that for this particular song they got the guitarists from cheap trick, cure, and alice in chains to figure out all the guitar and bass parts, and by the end of the song they all believed me. what a bunch of tools.

!? "Procession," the entire album Movement...you can't fuck with that stuff...

I listened to a couple songs from "Movement" and they didn't move. Even that "Dreams Never End" song that a lot of people seem to like didn't really do anything for me.

Never heard "Procession" though.

It's on Substance, disc 2. And it rocks.

"The Watch Song" by Shellac.
