Obviously the point of this thread is asking you to point out the band(s) that is/are your guilty pleasure, but it could possibly spark up some other rad conversation.
Because of the vicious love/hate for these dudes I've experienced over the years since I first got into them, I'd have to say that mine would be Emmure. I understand that they do look fairly douchy, Frankie sometimes gives off the image that he wants to be that white-boy, metalcore gangster and he's also a bit of a dingus, but the dudes voice is insane. His highs are punishing and the only person I've ever heard match them is Mitch Luker from Suicide Silence, not to mention their music is heavy as fuck and just makes me want to punch someone in the face. Yeah, their lyrics are a bit dumb sometimes, but that's what you get from a dude who loves retro video games and comic books. Not saying those are bad things, but they heavily influence the shit that Frankie writes, in my mind. I like them because of their music, that's pretty much it.

New Found Glory. They're just so saccharine and poppy, but too catchy to ignore.

Hopped on New Found Glory after My Friend's Over You came out. The video sucked me in.

System of a down . Toxicity was the first cd I ever bought in my life. 2 days after it came out. I was in 6th grade. One of those bands that just stuck with me when I first got into heavy music. Ive seen them every time they have come here to play. Mostly for nostalgic reasons , but , I still really enjoy their music.

Chop Suey was a bit over played, but still awesome none the less.
