Come on, we all know you have them. What are some songs you really like and listen to that you normally wouldn't? Whether you don't like that genre or artist in general. I'll go ahead and share mine after a few people have done it.

well, what's "guilty" for one may not be guilty for another. For example, liking Abba, The Carpenters or Olivia Newton-John might be guilty for some people in here, but for me, I'm not ashamed. I'm not ashamed about liking disco or bad 80's music either. I'm not ashamed to admit I still listen to the Flashdance soundtrack, or The Pointer Sisters, or Jody Watley or Sheena Easton or other 80's music. Ashamed of your Ace Of Base and Spice Girls cd's? I'm not.

The closest thing to guilty pleasures I have are Yoko Ono and Barbra Streisand (albeit I only really like her 70's and 80's output), those are the only 2 that I have friends who really HATE them, so it's a little guilty for me to admit to liking them. Everyone rags on Yoko, mostly due to bitterness over what she is blamed for by Beatles fans, but I think if she wasn't linked with The Beatles, she would've been more appreciated in her own right. She may have never reached the heights of All Things Must Pass or Imagine as a solo artist, but she's frankly never done anything quite as bad as Pipes Of Peace or Press To Play either.

I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but I love "Everyday" and "Take Me Away" by Fefe Dobson. :woohoo: Those songs, along with others, were on the MTV station on the plane to London that were played on a continuos loop and I was just so excited that I was going back to Poland that those songs now equate to exciting and happiness.

I really liked Kylie when she came out with "The Loco-Motion"
during the summer of 1988. It was the summer right before I went into 7th grade and I remember the video on MTV. She was so cute and she had the blond, really curly and fluffy eighties hair. I went right out and bought the CD! :dog:

Let's add some Aqua to that list. I was obssesed with them back in '97/'98 when Barbie Girl came out. My obsession went away, but I still listen to the CD. Also, DSL helped me download like five of their videos (Barbie Girl, My oh My, Lollipop, Dr. Jones, and Roses are Red). It was the first CD I ever bought and I guess the love never faded after 7 years. :o

Aqua was so sugary it's bad for the teeth, but I admit that their stuff was quite irresistable. A friend from England sent me Lene's solo album

Anything Britney Spears, Cher, some really weird showtunes (Sound of Music and stuff)...

But things like Spice Girls and Hanson, they're not guilty. I heart them. :D

A lot of their songs were, but there were also some really good ones like "Doctor Jones," "Roses Are Red," and "Turn Back Time" that weren't so sugary. I listen to basically every song on the CD except for Barbie Girl (Just because I've heard it over and over and over in '97/'98 that it just wasn't enjoyable anymore).

Oh, Disney songs are my weakness...I LOVE those. My sister has like a set of 5 Disney cds and I took em and recorded some songs onto tapes...and Christmas of 2002 I got the Hercules soundtrack and this past Christmas I got a Disney Princesses Soundtrack, oh man, they're great.

I sat around and memorized the song Zero to Hero from Hercules, I'm a Disney addict.
