TOP 10 GUILTY PLEASURES || Crash Thompson

[@breakingmadeline3063]

I think Crash has the best sense of humor in the whole world. It's like he 100% just......gets it. Like, life in general. He's unlocked all the secrets of the world and he just laughs himself stupid....I worship this mysterious enigma.

[@arnoldbunty3792]

[@Pagefire]

Seeing HIM here made me happy. Kinda shocking to hear they're not loved in the Goth Rock and Metal scene. I still spin their songs when I'm in the right mood at night. \m/

[@g.i.e]

In my experience with the Goth scene, HIM is very well regarded, they're one of my favourite bands ever.

[@macabremanscape3226]

A lot of people into gothic metal are also into HIM, they were one of the bigger bands when I got into the sound. But of course there's a lot of back and forth because only like 3.5 of their albums fit into the genre (and that's if you squint, too).

[@charlestonson2200]

I’ve known quite a few people who like HIM, they’re genuinely great.

[@jjammmees]

Ill never leave you. If you get close enough maybe you will feel happy.

[@DarkturtleX]

Yea cause they are known as a Dark Rock band.

It's kinda sweet to have an old Rick Astley still singing his signature song in that clip. Somehow he's still around, not swept away by the sand of times. He's living his best life.

15:17 From what I’ve heard, he wasn’t necessarily “human trafficking” in the way we usually think about it. He would take people on international tours with him and drop them off in other countries so they could live there without needing to get full citizenship to get in.

[@Meelz]

Speaking as a really big Bizkit fan, you kinda hit it on the head as far as how a lot of us feel, though it feels like you just so happen to be on the other side of the coin. A recurring theme with the Limp Bizkit renaissance is how a lot of fans essentially embrace Fred Durst's absurdity and how that, for better or for worse, makes the band's identity. You can have a band with Borland, Rivers, Lethal and Otto but Durst is what gives it its identity, and your enjoyment of the music hinges a lot on your ability to be taken along for the ride. To some, there's an element of nostalgia to that brand of dudebro douchebaggery that some can potentially be reminded of simpler time in their youth, and to others it could just be such a hilarious stark contrast to the instrumental work. Fred is a silly man, this no one can dispute, but (at least until Results May Vary) he was mostly just having his own fun and I think joining in on that fun is how a lot of us enjoy the band.

*deep breath* I like Young and Menace because, especially when viewed alongside the music video, it becomes an anthem about overcoming things like anxiety and autism, as well as surviving in an environment that makes your life harder because of it. The audio distortion techniques throughout the song are like the mental noise I sometimes find myself surrounded by. It honestly sounds like the thought process of someone with a chaotic brain rising up and finding a path.

[@quinnandvalor9657]

Funny, I have the exact opposite reactions with the same conditions. I'm autistic and can be quite sensitive to certain noises and when the electronic instrumentals hit I find myself like, mentally attacked.

[@thetonytaye]

Y’know… I’m autistic and suffer with anxiety and maybe that’s the reason I don’t completely hate Y&M. Like… it’s objectively bad, and it’s disheartening (though at the time not surprising) that FOB would make a song like that, but I at least get what it was going for and can even appreciate parts of it. The drop kneecaps it pretty much dead though. I feel like many songs exist that can do what it was trying to do better.

At this point Rick Astley doesn't even feel that guilty anymore. It was always kinda guilty even back when he was huge but by now, I think we can all admit we don't hate being rickrolled. My favorite Rick Astley song is "Hopelessly". It's just a nice little love song.

[@Roxaschao]

HIM was a band, that resonated with people who were heavy into the Jackass and CKY crowd, Bam Margera essentially made the band extremely popular...the logo anyway

[@giovannialvarez9289]

So far as I'm commenting now, my guilty pleasure songs are "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC cause I was hooked line and sinkered in as a autistic kid and as an adult I still love listening to it whether it's the OG or a metal cover and imagining a Edgar Wright or Tarantino action scene with this song playing syncing up to the punches and gunshots. Most of the songs in "Miami Connection" cause they are funny but catchy 80s bops.

[@shaggymatt92jacobs70]

Same man, nice to know I wasn't the only autistic kid who feels that way about music...

[@rayanna7188]

"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys is one of my guilty pleasures. I don't like them (or many boy bands in general), but man that song's catchy

[@vintagetoast3038]

[@hadleypersons41]

As a pretentious kind of music guy whose favorite band is Brand New, I don’t hate Hey Soul Sister. I actually kinda like it.

[@RanterInShades]

Ayyyy another Songs About Jane defender!! High five! A number of the bands featured here, like Buckcherry, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, and even a little Bizkit, are bands I have no qualms saying I dig. I can understand what turns people off about them, but I find at least their early material genuinely decent and the bands genuinely competent. It's why I don't consider them "guilty pleasures", but just genuine pleasures. And that's why I've sort of been trying to ease that term out of my vocabulary, but I'll still find myself attributing it to the kind of stuff that is _SO far_ out of my general wheelhouse that people who know me wouldn't expect me to say anything at all positive about it. I made a guilty pleasures countdown 6 years ago (and have plans for an eventual follow-up) and that was pretty much my only criteria. Also, I'm with you on Rick Roll, that shit hasn't pissed me off... ever. I _always_ thought it was a genuinely killer pop song.

I think one of my biggest guilty pleasures would have to be "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. For as much as flak the song (as well as the band in general) gets over the years, I actually had a soft spot for the song. And I was in the edgy phase where I dogged on the band without even listening to any of the songs in full. And having listening to their discography with a more open mind, I can admit that there are a small handful of songs I kinda liked. Sure, they're not the deepest band out there and majority of their songs are simplistic to a fault. But, I still have a soft spot for the rock scene in the early 2000's, cheesy and dated as it may have been.

I love, love, LOVE Sugar Ray. That feels good, that feels good

[@nicklongoria5585]

I’ve said the same things about Train that you did in this video in my personal life. They’re so bad now that when I first heard “Meet Virginia,” I had no idea it was them. I liked it when I heard it and was shocked that Train did it. Now, though I still like the song, I still acknowledge it had problems, and the songwriting is still kind of clunky. But it’s just so much better than anything else they did after Drops of Jupiter that I still stick up for it. EDIT: I just realized that I admitted to talking about Train in my personal life, which I’m pretty sure is not normal and has probably been done more times than is normal for anyone. 😂

[@borealflorist]

Crash, man, I just wanted to give a genuine thank you for introducing me to HIM through this video. I gave them a listen right after and they've already become one of my favorite bands. If the music brings you joy, or at least emotional resonance, there's nothing guilty about that.

[@SonofSethoitae]

22:41 I just wanna take a moment and tell people to listen to both Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia and Mother Love Bone - Apple. Woefully underappreciated bands out of Seattle in the late 80s-early 90s

[@flightg97shadowgarth32]

Thanks for reminding me that Tunak Tunak Tan exists, I haven't heard that song in ages. I busted out laughing when it came up.

[@gabrielhicks8043]

I really like "Who Dunnit?" by Genesis. A lot of Genesis fans consider it their worst song, but I just like how goofy and fun it is, even if some parts of it are objectively terrible.

[@rubywest5166]

It's... Experimental, yet still obscenely simple. It's a good'un!

[@franco1926]

Worse than Illegal Alien?, how is that possible?

[@gabrielhicks8043]

@@franco1926 Illegal Alien is way worse imo, but if you listen to the music alone it's actually pretty catchy. I guess a lot of people just hate how Who Dunnit sounds as a whole, so to them it's a fundamentally worse song than Illegal Alien which is a good-sounding song with terrible lyrics.

[@coltsfan354]

Honorable Mentions: Songs About Jane feels like a reverse Kill Em All. A crossroads first album where the band could have gone in a very different direction. Like, tell me Harder to Breathe doesn't lead them to being a semi-legitimate hard rock band. 10. The first Foo Fighters record I bought was In Your Honor, because of the single Best Of You, and I have the same meme relationship (the best, the best, the best, etc.) It's still one of my favorite songs of theirs, but goddamn, memes have elevated and subsequently slaughtered so much decent to strong songs. 9. Albino Blacksheep is definitely it's own genre of music. A whole lot of System of a Down -esque music. 8. Shame Queens of the Stone Age got lumped into the whole Butt-Rock genre. 7. Surprised you weren't going with Switchfoot after that lead-in. Some chart topping, retrospectively awful stuff that still gets in your head from time to time. The band and scene has aged really badly, but Meant To Live in all of its trashy glory comes on and the head starts banging. 6. I can't get behind you with this one. I really liked Train in my late teens, and had the inverse relationship to Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle as Train: once I paid attention to the lyrics, everything changed. It just drags every song of theirs down so much (except for 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, mostly because it's absurd enough to almost work.) 5. Limp Bizkit is an okay band with decent instrumentation and one of the worst singers of all time. I'm not even a huge fan of theirs, but over the years, I've come to appreciate them for how good everyone but Fred is in the band, and how otherwise pretty okay their music is. 4. The instrumentation just destroys this one for me. There's a lot of Deadmau5's stuff that hits a lot better and in the same vein for me. Stuff like Raise Your Weapon or I Remember still bang, even though it definitely feels very dated. 3. Billy Ray Cyrus's aesthetic is so weird. Every time I see him perform from his early days, he's dressed up like Mike Patton. 2. Blurry is one of the most nostalgia packed songs that just trips me down such a memory rabbit hole. The guitar cuts in, and all I can think of is coming home from school in 2003, watching G4, playing on my PS2. Man, that shit just hits. And it has nothing to do with the actual song. 1. I always like the audio aesthetic, but I could just never get into HIM. Part of it was the early mental ties to Viva La Bam. That whole scene just somehow kinda missed me.

[@rayanna7188]

I love HIM, & it's okay if you can't get into them. and yeah I feel the same way about Limp Bizkit too. I kinda gave them a lot of crap before, but now that I'm older I realize that the members of Limp Bizkit aren't bad (well except for Fred Durst, I can't stand the guy), & I actually have a few guilty pleasures from them.

[@rayanna7188]

Also I don't think Queens Of The Stone Age are a bad band, I genuinely like their music

[@ioceano9404]

That Trashman skit had me rolling!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Benjarmon]

39:27 THANK YOU! One of the best, and most undrrated tracks off of Significant Other.

[@cannotwaittoseedavanteadam4301]

Re-Arranged has always been my favorite Limp song. Tbh, instrumentally, I’ve always liked Indigo Flow from the first album and later, Boiler.

[@alexstar9871]

Limp Bizkit first 2 album will be always my guilty pleasure. Yes, after the 3rd one is complete downfall, but honestly Significant Other is well played and thought. And you Crash, you corky man, you actually made me curious about Buchcherry first album.

[@RiverOfWetness468]

THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS Crash, I remember last year when you put out the poll for your last "I Hate This Song" video, and one of the choices on it was "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd. Now I'm curious. Did you actually like that song back then? Do you have a love-hate relationship with it? Did you always like it? If that song had won, what would you have said about it in your video? Would you have been willing to make a whole video of just you lying about your feelings on this song for twenty minutes? I'm so confused about this and would love an explanation.

[@cinematicsterling6897]

I don't see HIM as a guilty pleasure at all. I think they're a great band. I got into them last summer and they quickly became among one of my all time favorite bands. Heartkiller, right here in my arms, when love and death embrace, bury me deep inside your heart, wings of a butterfly, wicked game, etc

[@rayanna7188]

I agree! HIM is DEFINITELY not a band I'd call a "guilty pleasure". it's just a pleasure

[@DurradonXylles]

I still love revisiting this video three years later, I think it's worth interrogating why we have guilty pleasures and what still draws us to them even when they fall clear outside of our tastes otherwise. To comment on a few specific entries on the list: "Never Going To Give You Up" is just unapologetically 80s pop in its purest form and I love hearing the classic stations keeping this one well in rotation. "Drops of Jupiter" is still the best song Train has ever done imho and honestly also love when this pops up on the classic stations. And finally, I get it with both "Closer" and "Blurry": they're not only the only songs I actually like, never mind love, by the Chainsmokers and Puddle of Mudd respectively, but they're also enigmas in their respective discographies that demonstrate a weird amount of emotional awareness and how to perfectly convey those feelings in the moment. I don't know how reliable of narrators either group are for their songs, but I get it.

[@progamer461]

Also to add to my comments, definitely wouldn't mind seeing a "how to get into HIM" video, considering they don't have a bad album and are just great

[@goodoldfashionedloverboy2115]

No judgement here, Crash. You do you.

[@Flamestar320]

I guess if I had a "guilty pleasure" I wanted to share, it would be that I really like the Country band Rascal Flatts. See, I used to watch the Disney/Pixar film _Cars_ a lot of times when I was younger, (around 4 years old when it came out) and their cover of "Life Is A Highway" was one of my favorite songs as a kid. My dad became a fan of Rascal Flatts too. I have a great memory where on Father's Day 2017, I gifted my dad with a CD of their new album from that year. He played the album while bringing me and my sisters back home after brunch, and he thanked me after the first track concluded. My dad was my best friend. He gave me Queen's greatest hits at around 2015 and that encouraged me to collect more albums and become a bigger fan of many different genres. He passed away in his sleep the day after Christmas 2018 at only 56 years of age. Rascal Flatts will always have a special place in my heart because of that memory.

[@KinamOfMyth]

50:59 "I have a desire to rip off all my clothes are run through a public area. This prevents streaking." On a more serious note, I actually like when songs I enjoy become memes because that means I get to hear them more~

[@tritriren]

Great video as always Crash ! This was a lot of fun. I've been aboard the HIM train since the Love Metal album and, oh boy, what a trip. HIM is pretty much a Black Sabbath cover band doing love song for teenage girls... but it's heavy as fuck. Seriously, the riffometer is in the red on Venus Doom. It's that good, people.

[@SpideyDee]

Tunak Tunak Tun was covered by Bloodywood and it's amazing!

[@StonerWaifu]

They also did a really sick cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up."

[@TheKingBahamut]

I was a little surprised to see Blurry on here, especially since you were at one point planning to do an I Hate This Song on it.

[@AlligatorArms]

Man I remember “For the Movies” for a moment was played in 2000 on VH1 of all places, about as often as “Smooth”, “If You Had My Love”, and, well, “Meet Virginia”. For a moment anyway. They did a feature segment on Buckcherry and the narrator actually said “we can’t play some of the lyrics to their first single on this channel…[plays clip of “Lit Up”] “I love the _______, I love the _______”… I miss those days so bad! Simpler times, and the internet was only for smart people.

[@evandemers3753]

I like Creed. Not everything they've done, actually mostly just their debut, My Own Prison, and a few tracks on the next two records. But yeah, I like Creed.

[@ZaneKriglowitz]

Great video Crash! I'm the same way about Never Gonna Give You Up. Whenever I got Rick Roll'd back in the day, I didn't even get mad lol. I heard it come on the 80s SiriusXM station at a store on the overhead a couple months ago, and I just laughed and my first thought was, "Wow, I just got Rick Roll'd... in 2021."

It's a well known medical fact that it is impossible to listen to What's Up by 4 Non Blondes without attempting to mimic those ridiculous vocals.

Over here in the U.K., Train is considered a One Hit Wonder and it's because of Drops of Jupiter. I genuinely love What's up ! I have a soft spot for H.I.M. I can't explain it.

[@danreuter7144]

I personally can understand blurry being a guilty pleasure. it was a favorite of mine growing up, I'm not ashamed to say that. I am however ashamed that I thought she hates me was good in my high school days. I regret she hates me.

Trashman was probably the biggest jump scare of my adult life thus far; but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

[@solidgolddude]

To be fair, it is tied to one very specific night from my past, but “For The Movies” is probably one of my favorite songs. Also, I am the owner of two Heartagram tattoos myself from roughly 2006 and I still don’t regret them.

[@rayanna7188]

Nice! I'm thinking about getting a Heartogram tattoo (or probably just drawing one on myself haha)
