I do not give a fuck what anyone thinks of what I listen to. I listen to rap mainly, notably '90s golden era stuff, but I enjoy all sorts of music. I like to expand my horizons. I go in spurts and regularly listen to everything from Michael Jackson to Triple Six Mafia (back to their horrorcore days) to Coldplay.

But there are a few that I would consider as somewhat "guilt pleasures." Rihanna -- "Stay" is awesome and Rihanna in a bathtub is awesome -- One Republic, Ke$ha, "Whaler" by Sophie B. Hawkins, "Growing Pains" by Billie Meyers, and anything that was ever part of a Dawson's Creek soundtrack.

Really like Fun. That Nate Ruess (Lead singer) is the shit, his voice reminds me of Freddy Mercury.

I don't hear it. But do like Fun.

This!!! I like Fun also. Didn't discover them until the past few months.

Massillon tiger swing band, they rule man.

If I'm flipping through the radio and come across bad 90's/early 2000's pop, I always stop and listen. Examples:

Any ABBA or Neil Diamond.

I have horrible rap selections on my workout playlists. But it's moreso for the beat and rhythm, not the lyrical prowess.

Trinidad James - All Gold Everything
Chief Keef - Love Sosa


...and then there's M.I.A.'s Bad Girls...smh.

I love M.I.A. "Paper Planes" is legit and was my official summer anthem in 2008. Rolling Stone called it one of the best rap songs of all-time. I wouldn't go that far, but it was pretty sick.

I'd put M.I.A right behind Lil' Kim and Gangsta Boo as my favorite female rappers ever.

I also like Nicki Minaj when she goes hard and Lola Monroe brought it on the most recent Wiz Khalifa album. "Initiation" is an amazing track.

Being a hardcore metalhead, I do find myself periodically cheating on my genre by "eating up all of your crackers and your licorice" with Digital Underground.

Always a classic.
