Bearing my musical soul and revealing my guilty pleasures

Published by Carter at 3:50 pm under Music

I’ve debated putting this post up for a week, and I finally broken down. This was inspired by a recent Sound Opinions podcast in which they revealed some of their guilty pleasures and a few listeners bore their souls as well. Here’s a brief sampling of Sound Opinions guilty pleasures:

  • Black Eyed Peas, “My Humps”
  • Naughty By Nature, “OPP”
  • Hilary Duff, “Why Not”
  • Bel Biv DeVoe, “Poison”

I decided that if two rock critics were brave enough to let people know that they like Hilary Duff, than I should brave enough to share some of mine:

  • Journey, “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” - While working as a DJ in North Carolina I would pray for this song to be in my rotation to break up the Celine Dion, N’Sync, Sugar Ray crap. Yes, working for an Adult Top 40’s station was so bad that Journey became “good music.”
  • Shakira with Wyclef Jean, “Hips don’t lie” -I don’t know what it is about this song, I don’t care for Shakira’s voice and Wyclef is okay I guess, but when the two come together I can’t switch the channel/station.
  • Poison, “Something to Believe in” -So many monster ballads, so little time. This was one of the very first singles I bought on tape with my own money.

Alright this is getting a embarrassing. I’m stopping now.

    I heard Bobby Brown’s “My Perogative” on the radio the other day. Speaking of first singles. {cough}.

    I’m down with Journey, but I don’t get the Hips Don’t Lie thing. Actually, the song’s catchy, but Wyclef’s rap was written by a drunk four year-old.

    the one I don’t get is poison, they we’re the epitomy of the definition “Butt Rock” but I guess it could be worse you at least didn’t go with “Here I go again” by White Snake, not that I’m any better, the guy that I share an office with and I get pumped up in the morning by “you’re the best around” off the karate kid soundtrack
