Except for the occasional joke, I'm recusing myself from any more "guilty pleasures" threads. your post exemplifies why.
How you can put Aimee Mann in with that crowd is beyond me. It's obvious you think of her as some bubble gum artist. Nothing could be further from the truth. You remind me of the guy in concert who was yelling for her to play "Time Stand Still". Like she's going to play a Rush song she spent a few lines singing on instead of her many songs (at an acoustic show with a piano and bassist no less). Go find any of her last six solo records and tell me with a straight face she is anywhere near those other groups. All you're doing is putting something you don't like as a guilty pleasure and something you do as not. WOW is right
Stryper is just a hair band that happens to have a lyrical content about religion. Just because you're religious doesn't mean that you will like Stryper. If you're not, you don't automatically hate them. "I'm an ordained Baptist minister and I can't stomach Stryper" sounds like...well I think you know what I'm implying.
It's wonderful that you have this jones for Journey. I was a teen when they turned from rock band to commercial pop machine. It wasn't pretty. Guilty I say!
Respond if you like, you may have the last word here.
