In no particular order:

Come on, this has come on the radio and you all have burst out singing.

Toxic - Britney Spears
If only for the music video.

Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus
One of the most catchy songs ever.

all guilty pleasures for me

Now you gotta check this one out where you
will know it truly is the #1 of all time..  on
the movie Tommy, from the rock opera by
"The Who"... which had such stars as Sir Elton
John, Eric Clapton and Tina Turner..  Miss
Ann Margaret  and Roger Daltry did a scene
together when he regained all his senses.. It was
a segment called "Smash The Mirror" that was
the main song, which lead into "I'm Free" by
daltry..  the white bedroom scenes with Ann
Margaret would have to take the #1 place of
all time..  first the soap suds, then the chocolate
then the rest.  Oh my Word, go check it out..
she was very young and well you just hafta see
for yourself!!!


Blueyes

TG--those are your guilty pleasures?  Damn, man!

okay, I'll admit to liking the Spice Girls 

cause after Nirvana was here your supposed to be anti lead, anti wammy bar, anti great musicianship.  lol.

 ok for real guilty pleasures

mariah carey anything by her she is a freak of a great singer.
bee gees       saturday night fever stuff
danger danger ...........Don't walk away
fergie..................fergilicious (i doubt I would have to explain this one)
Pink ..................the whole  Mizunderstood cd/videos
Cinderella.........Nobody's Fool

shh don't tell anyone ok

In the car I often listen to music by Avril Lavigne, Busted, Nelly Furtado, Pink, and a fair few others.  To a degree, they are guilty pleasures..  but only as I have the p*ss taken out of me if I listen to them at work!

That's a little better!

Jim: Hahahaha I try my hardest to sell the "Cry Me A River" gospel to my friends.  Not going to lie to you, it's gone down well with them.

Too Funny! I thought to start this very same post right after the deserted island post....  anyway..here goes.. (by the way, Blue, WTF are you talking about?)


1. Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around/Comes Around

2. Christina Aguilera - Aint No Other Man

3. Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away

4. Britney Spears - Toxic

5. Michael Jackson - Almost anything he's done! - And I dont care what anyone says, the man has more talent in his little pinky than most of us put together!!!!!

Minds--nice!

MJ is awesome, but is much less of a guily pleasure for me than the five I mentioned.

Mariah Carey,( captures the right emotion with everything she does..very powerful, Avril Lavigne...I guess it brings out the kid in me, also I think shes a pretty decent songwriter, I like her hooks and melodies

Big Bang Baby - STP (Scott's dancing and the riff is cheesy and "gay" so Ive heard.... anyway)

Foolish Games- Jewel (this song is just so full of emotion and is the one song that can ALMOST make me cry every time I listen to it)
Saturday Night- Bay City Rollers ( do I have to explain?)

honorable mention...Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys...OK that's enough..

Maybe I'm slow..But, What is a Guilty Pleasure song ?
Is it songs you like but , you don't like to admit that you like the songs ?
