I would pay to see Andrew W.K. just for his signature hosing the audience with alcohol.
My biggest guilty pleasure that I could see myself paying for is, honestly, Shakira. I think her 90's and early 00's material is just brilliant as is every live video i've seen of her. "Hips Don't Lie" is by FAR her worst song. (although, her latest album is supposed to be pretty bad too)
As for embarrassing shows i've attended, on the 6th or something of this month(so fresh in my mind) I had to accompany/protect my 13 year old cousin at a Evanescence / Chevelle / Halestorm / Cava show in Boston. Fortunately, her mom paid for my ticket so it was free. And it was second row seats to boot, which surprised me.

It makes someone more of a false if they like Nsync but pretend that they don't so as to not be ridiculed by others than to be open about the fact that they like Nsync. Now sexuality might be in question in this instance but certainly not poserdom.

So they ARE back together? I missed the reunion news. Not that I was paying attention. I have, however, seen Live twice ... in different states even! While it's certainly nothing to be proud of, their biggest offense was just being really, really bland. They were exactly what you'd expect out of a typical corporate rock band.
