And I have mp3s of the Michael Jackson songs "Thriller" and "Beat It" (but can't take him as a whole).
It's always hard to get tone and inflection from the written word unless one is purposefully constructing it that way. In a message board form, there's no edit time, etc. If people knew me they'd know I'm a mellow guy. I've got strong opinions, yeah, but so do most folks here. Nothing wrong with that.
And I understand your thought about "your post READS as if you're saying "If I like it it's not a guilty pleasure, but if I don't it is."" But hey, I've listed things I like and fully admit they're a guilty pleasure! Roxette! Hello?!?
And there are things I don't like that I don't consider guilty pleasures. I'm not an AC/DC or Van Halen fan, but if someone said here it's a guilty pleasure, I'd be puzzled why they say that. Above I was expressing WOW about prog people liking Huey Lewis and Bangles, not in a "WOW, that's sad" sense but a "WOW, that's surprising sense." And I was saying that I'm surprised anyone would consider claiming Boston or The Who as guilty pleasures. Hoping that clears things up.
If not...
