(Not So) Guilty Pleasures
A winter storm hit so I'm snowed in. Time to blast bad music. |
| 1 |  | Gym Class Heroes
The Quilt
Dumb? Yes. Poppy? Yep. Catchy as fuck? You Betcha. Plus the guitarist of this band is an unsung hero, he's got some pretty awesome guitar bits throughout their discography. |
| 2 |  | The Front Bottoms
Back On Top
This album actually slams. Help, Laugh Till I Cry, and West virginia are the self deprecating sing-alongs of my year. |
| 3 |  | The All-American Rejects
When the World Comes Down
This band has surprisingly held up really fucking well. This album is AAR's Brand New Eyes - and it's just as good. |
| 4 |  | Fall Out Boy
Folie a Deux
Their best album. Fight me. #2 is pax am days. |
| 5 |  | Twenty One Pilots
Regional At Best
You already knew this. This band fucking goes so hard. Plus album 5 is supposed to be a throwback to the style of the Self-titled album and I'm beyond stoked. |
| 6 |  | Ben Folds
Rockin' The Suburbs
Dudes, this guy is incredible. the title track here is one of the best pop rock songs ever written. ever. |
| 7 |  | Nate Ruess
Grand Romantic
Solid pop. Why can't mainstream pop be more like this? Heartfelt, unapologetic, and corny as fuck. |
| 8 |  | John Mayer
Heavier Things
This guy is lowkey one of the best pop songwriters out there. Just listen to Clarity or Daughters off of this. Bliss. |
| 9 |  | Hellogoodbye
Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!
Solid pop. Why can't mainstream pop be more like this? Heartfelt, unapologetic, and corny as fuck. [2] |
| 10 |  | My Chemical Romance
Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
Never understood the hate for this one. Really colorful Synth Punk backed with a convoluted concept, what did you expect from MCR? the #singitforjapan version of sing is the best thing to come out of this era though. |
| 11 |  | Panic! at the Disco
Pretty. Odd.
Their best Album. Fight me [2] |
| 12 |  | Paramore
Paramore
Never understood the hate, this album is a borderline pop rock classic, and I had to include them on the list to complete the Emo Icon list. |
