EW’s Music Mix is searching for the Greatest Guilty Pleasure Musical Act of All Time. With four seeded contestants remaining (see all the matchups), this tournament is continuing to change hearts, minds, and lives, as well as make some people remarkably agitated! Read/listen to the following, and then cast your vote in the poll after the jump; reader comments will be used from here on out, so we encourage you to also post a comment explaining why you chose the way you did.

Phish beat Ace of Base in Round Three.
“Mariah: “I find it hysterical that the Phish fans are working so hard for their favorite group to be known as the biggest GUILTY PLEASURE of all time. The title itself implies a lack of legitimacy that I certainly wouldn’t want bestowed upon my favorite band.” – Yes we get the irony. It is not lost on us. However, don’t you know that “Phish always wins”?” — Who
“Trying to pick up that hot chick? Gonna tell her you like Phish? BAD IDEA!!! Going on Phish tour this summer? Gonna tell your boss that’s where you’re going? “You mean that drug band? BAD IDEA!!! Ignorant fools have made Phish a guilty pleasure…” — King of Prussia
“I love Phish’s smooth atonal sound…it’s like a cross between a hurricane and a ship thats run aground.” — The Hurricane
“People get into my car and ask what it is that I’m listening to… I usually respond with Phish. That gets old to the nonunderstanding nonphans. Eventually, you kinda get tired of saying Phish and just say PH. Then eventually you sorta start feeling guilty. That was seven years ago.” — Locke
“I CHOOSE BERRY MARSHMALLOW” — GOD

Finally, time to win this Phish!
Oh, man. I’m so high right now I have no idea what’s going on.
Is there a poll going on? Geez I am so farking stoned I can’t even read.. How are these words appearing on the screen? I’m fried man..
i think there is a music band on here that i like, but i also cannot read. too many hallucinations. i was led here by an elf who said there would be free granola. i dunno why but my fingers are moving gently against little buttons right now. ppppppphhhhhhhiissshhh iiiiiii caaaaaannnnnnttttt stoooooooop
^You guys are f$%^ing GENIUSES! How did you come up with such SNARKY and CLEVER insults!! LOL! AWESOME!
that’s weird, i always know whats going on when im high. you probably shouldn’t get high.
that’s weird, i always know whats going on when im high. you probably shouldn’t get high.
I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW THRILLED I AM THAT WHITNEY PASTOREK USE’D MY “BERRY MARSHMALLOW” QUOTE FROM LAST ROUND! THANK YOU EVERYBODY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I thought her writing on the other poll was so much more colorful. The effort put into this was poor. And now I can’t watch her tweets, but I can still see her feets!
I’m so glad your happy Dad! Phish wants you to be happy!
Jesus CHRIST!! It’s YOU’RE! As in YOU ARE a moron Jesus Christ!
For those of you have no idea what is going on here please allow me summarize.
1. 90% of the comments posted are inside jokes and dark humor for phans only. You will have little hope of understanding them.
2. Yes, we get the irony of voting for our favorite band as a “guilty pleasure”. The irony is not lost on us. However, please refer to point 6.
3. Way back in the day EW wrote: “Phish could urinate in the ears of their listeners and in turn the fans would happily lap it up”. That is not only offensive to the band but also to their phans. Karma has come full circle. We are now getting our payback. However juvenile that payback may seem.
4. Whitney Pastorek, the EW employee running this poll, has called Phish phans “retards” via her Twitter account. “The Phish fans are such retards. Do they really think I haven’t followed the trail back to their message board? I CAN SEE YOU PHUCKERS!!”
5. Whitney Pastorek, the EW employee running this poll, has openly encouraged people to cheat at her own poll via her Twitter account. “I BEG OF YOU PEOPLE: VOTE ACE OF BASE. MAKE YOUR FRIENDS VOTE. THEN UNPLUG MODEM, REPLUG, AND VOTE AGAIN.”
6. The infallible law of the universe: Phish Always Wins
YEAH MY CHILDREN ARE OLD ENOUGH TO READ ICCULUS!!
EW is the worst website ever. imagine if your job was to research what kind of hair gel Brad Pitt was wearing every week
Oh Whitney you and I are destined for heaven baby. Come to my palace and let me give you a free checkup. I am the love doctor and I’m here to give you the real guilty pleasure. Forget about the seeds and the contest and lets get this passionate festival of erotic fulfillment phlowing.. Tweet Tweet!

I can’t beleive you dope-smoking losers are still wanking off on this thing. ‘Tards! For god’s sake take a shower, it smells like a whorehouse in here.
Based on your familiarity with the odors of whorehouses we recommend thorough testing for STDs.
Oh Lance. What are you still doing here? Your continued posts reek of self pitty and self deception. It is clear you are a whacked out nut job whose intentions are to become the greatest imbecile known to mankind. Now thats what I call a guilty pleasure..
No Lance, it smells like weed and patchouli oil.
Is this the same lance I caught with a Altoids case full of Rufies last semester!? Your parents never took you to that Dave Matthews show after that one, did they?
Whitney is Wilson
Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn!
