It's obvious the writer has no concept of the term guilty pleasure.

It's obvious the writer has no concept of the term guilty pleasure.

Not only that, she said that when they played the show in LAUREL Canyon, they didn't play Sex Type Thing.

AND SOMEHOW ACE OF BASE IS WINNING THE POLL! :/

[CMCracker]

Ace of Base was the shit back in the day though!

It's obvious the writer has no concept of the term guilty pleasure.

Yeah my thoughts exactly.

Stone Temple Pilots are the farthest thing from a guilty pleasure. Anyone who still thinks it's "cool" to slag them is still living in '93.

I've heard alot of people who think the same crap but i dont bother telling them the opposite, its them missing out not me, but at the same time its their opinion

[BrandoKommando]

Ace of Base is by no means in the same vein as The Stone Temple Pilots.

Man, I can't believe the crap that's on the internet these days.

How in the hell are these 2 even being compared?  That web site must be geared more towards the Ace of Base crowd because there is no way in hell your average real music listener could possibly choose Ace of Base over STP in those kind of percentages.

Over the years I've seen interviews, articles, and lil snippets of stuff that lead me to believe that  STP is a respected band in most music circles - both professional and fanbased.

I have no idea what they are doing in a "guilty pleasure" article.  It's almost like that author was on the outside of music history looking in. She probably thinks it was genius un-Earthing STP for this.
