While I normally abhor the idea of guilty pleasures on the basis that everyone should fully embrace what they enjoy and treat them simply as pleasures instead, I do wholeheartedly love Pop and R&B music and am admittedly reluctant to express this love with most people. Whether it's a songs like "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer, "Love Fool" by The Cardigans, or more recent tunes like Private's "My Secret Lover" and "We Got Some Breaking Up To Do" I cannot help but (poorly and with great heart) sing and dance as though no one is watching. And don't even get me started on R. Kelly, Ginuwine, Usher...the list goes on. So really my takeaway is that everybody's got a thing, and we should all do our best to not yuck on anyone else's yum. EDIT: Added Youtube links for the songs listed.
Oh thank you I'm so glad you named "Usher" on that list. Every once in a while I get in a really great, sort of weird R&B mood which consists of listening to a little R. Kelly, Biz Markie, Sean Kingston (is he really R&B?), and a few assorted others, but mostly a lot of Usher. In fact I finally knuckled down this week and I bought two of his albums, Confessions and 8701, and now "Burn" is playing on repeat in my head. Old Usher is just So. Damn. Good.
same here but definitely with a very special place in my heart for bad radio music.
