Yeah Dave's actions at the MTV thing were in response to the Axl/Kurt feud. I thought it was funny.

My guilty pleasure? Oasis. I want to hate them because Liam Gallagher is a total prick, but the music is still great.

No, they already hated each other by the time of the MTV Awards thing. That was just their only face-to-face confrontation.

I don't think metal ever died in America either. Death and Black metal were picking up steam (though Black was more a of a European thing), as was groove metal, and with Pantera around, rest assured, metal would not die. Just look at some of the most famous metal releases after Nevermind:
Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power-1992
Exhorder-The Law-1992
Cannibal Corpse-Tomb of the Mutilated-1992
Obituary-The End Complete-1992
Death-Individual Thought Patterns-1993
Pantera-Far Beyond Driven-1994
Machine Head-Burn my Eyes-1994
Slayer-Divine Intervention-1994
Down-NOLA-1995
Death-Human-1995
Pantera-The Great Southern Trendkill-1996
And those are just some of the basics. There were loads more. Metal never has, and never will die.
Anyway, thread-derailing over.

I'm not really ashamed of any music I listen to, but I suppose some people would consider OK Go's "Here it Goes Again" to a guilty pleasure. I do love that song. But I don't think musical preference should be something you should feel guilty about.
So yeah, I don't really have any guilty pleasures.

Am i the only the only person to like United Abominations?

Yeah... I've never heard of any of those albums you just listed Enshin.

Yeah, metal never really "died", but it left the mainstream.

Yea, that one is just too melodically catchy to let go. It kinda sucks that you have to sit through past-his-prime Jigga to get to it though.

I also indulge 90's eurodance from time to time (Ace of base etc.)

It is hard to admit, but I own the Air Supply's Greatest Hits. I shall let the shame commence.

I have higher defense than you, but lower attack power.

Hmm.. I suppose Thomas Dolby would be a guilty pleasure of mine... as well as select Oasis songs. Ohh.. and I mustn't forget the worst of all: that panic at the disco song where it says something about a god damn door.

Aimee Mann

I went through my music player, but the only thing close to a guilty pleasure I could find were a couple of Bangles albums. I probably have one or two real guilty pleasures, but I can't remember them at the moment and I certainly wouldn't keep them in my music player for everyone to see Razz

Aimee Mann has a great voice. Voices Carry would definately be one of my guilty pleasures, same with Eternal Flame by the Bangles. Since I'm new here, what better way for people to get to know me than to divulge my most embarrassing secrets?

The cover of How Soon is Now by TATU would also be one for me.
