Guilty Pleasures: Music. It's Bad But You Still Love It.

[LastingZeppelin]

Are you implying that Grand Funk Railroad is bad?

No,but that album was really bad,really really bad.That's the only song worth listening of that album.
I love GFR.Everything they did until We're American Band was amazing.The rest was lackluster,with the exception of Grand Funk Lives and Caught in the Act.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

That's a vocoder, not autotune. Romanthony is autotuned on One More Time.

[deathsbuddy]

Oh, I kind of figured it was a vocoder, but then I looked it up and a lot of places said that it was autotune? I guess I looked at the wrong places.

Regardless.

[ArmsAreLoud]

I think you'll find that a lot of places will say that it is autotune because they do not know the difference because these places are designed by people like myself

I've never even seen the term vocoder.

[deathsbuddy]

Vocoder is what Cher said she used in her song Believe.

(She used autotune)

[ArmsAreLoud]

You say that as if I have ever listened to Cher

[deathsbuddy]

Touché.

I suppose I could call Cher a guilty pleasure.

I made a semi-detailed post in the main music thread explaining vocal effects.

Nerd trivia: the vocoder used on Around The World and HBFS is the built-in vocoder on the Ensoniq DP/4.

Here you put songs that are objectively bad but you enjoy anyways.

Take my last entry, for example. That song employs auto-tune which automatically makes it objectively awful. However I enjoy it anyways so I post it in the guilty pleasures thread.

Aren't the autotuned news good?

Since Valentine's Day is... Next week, I think, what better way to celebrate than with some cheesy, cheesy Meatloaf.

[-Benedict]

listen even if it's the dumbest thing
it's the greatest dumbest thing

[CSJ]

Madlib should never be allowed near a mic.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Behold.

The white rocker version of "Baby Got Back".

[Nocturne]

Behold.

The white rocker version of "Baby Got Back".

Oh man. I saw Foxy live in Boston with The Darkness, and they're fucking amazing. Real phenomenal. In my opinion, they put on a better show than The Darkness.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Yeah don't get me wrong the music is great

It's just

it's the white boy version of baby got back

[Zombiitwo]

I fail to see how SoS is bad in any form of the word.

[CSJ]

It's difficult liking old Australian music.

It's hard and nobody understands ;_;

[deathsbuddy]

I fail to see how SoS is bad in any form of the word.

Trust me, I only mean musically.

[CSJ]

Mr Scruff's output is more than a little silly, but it is amusing in its own way.

[Dacen]

I like pretty highbrow stuff nowadays, but that's sort of been only in the last few years or so. When I was little I listened to music which now I'd get laughed-at to death for liking. Stuff like Nickelback.

And this Donna Lewis tune was probably the earliest musical memory I even have, perhaps other than Hall & Oats "Maneater"

I probably first heard this tune when I was 3 or 4.

I used to be really into New Age piano music. Used to write a bunch of it, too. Never again...

And this was the first CD that I ever bought. I STILL dig this.

And I'm a SUCKER for acappella music so this NSYNC tune slays me.

Uptown Girl, I like the me first and the gimmie gimmies version best.


Some people call it bad. I sincerely enjoy it.

[CSJ]

The killer on this; he is completely and utterly serious.
