I’m usually more electronic/alternative than this, really! And I listen to CBC! Really, I’m smart! 🙂

my guilty pleasure is NOT listening to CBC in the car, but rather Top 40 fm, and pretenting it’s the CBC.

Quelle poseure.

And I thought I was the only one here who liked Eminem…

I’m not alone! Yay! 😉

I can top that for shamefulness – I bought [this](http://www.musicweb.uk.net/film/2000/Oct00/collection_binge.html) – and I did it _last week_. I’ve hit rock bottom, I know…

I wouldn’t call Depeche Mode a guilty pleasure. Of course, I sing (loudly) along to any number of songs that may come on the radio, including eighties Aerosmith (nothing after, though - I’m not that tasteless), “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” and … (sigh) Matchbox 20. I’m so ashamed.
