Musicians: guilty pleasure band that other musicians make fun of you for liking

A couple of my friends make fun of me for liking Jamiroquai, but I just pity them for missing out.

Whats wrong with Third Eye Blind?

If 3EB a guilty pleasure, then they're mine as well. I think they're pretty decent musicians.

I'm going to say The Tubes. They were OK musically but were mostly about the stage spectacle (including X-rated performances early on). For some reason I always liked their cheesy approach.

some of their stuff took maybe 10 minutes to write and could be learned in 1 minute,

...do not go together. 3EB has a catalogue of very mature songwriting - melodically complex and thoughtful with great supporting instrumentation.

I reject the premise of the thread, in fact. I like what I like and DGAF what "other musicians" say. Many "other musicians" wish like hell they could write JUST ONE hit song that only "took 10 minutes to write and could be learned in 1 minute". Come to think of it, that description probably applies to Yesterday.

just remember the semi charm life cheesy intro stuff.

Again, for probably their most pure pop song, it's way more dense and complex than the average pop song.

Well I'm a jazz pianist. Everyone I generally play with are kind of picky about what they listen to and stuff we play is typically complex stuff so I guess its kind of surprising for 3eb to be my favorite band.

how are they guilty pleasures?

That's not a guilty pleasure, and your friends are stupid.

I am an unabashed and unashamed parrothead.
