Guilty.  If some AOR like Boston and Journey count as guilty pleasures, pencil me in for those as well.

I am not embarassed to like the things I do, although if you were me you probably would. Who cares, I listen to music for myself, and nobody will find out anyway.

They keep on playing the same song over and over... But that's the greatest song ever!

I like the odd 'hair metal' band- Skid Row, Cinderella, early Motley Crue, Twisted Sister are my favourites, but I draw the line at Warrant and much of Poison's cheesy output (they had the odd decent song though). None of these are amongst my fave bands everthough, to be honest...
AOR I like a great deal, particularly Boston, Journey, Toto (when they aren't peddling horrible cod reggae), Foreigner. Not exactly cool music but it has lots of great musicianship and fine vocals and songwriting.
I like 60s pop/rock too, particularly the mid 60s stuff.

I have a list for this thread:
Eminem  (I have all the albums and I still like them. I think that if we are talking about the hip-hop/rap genre, he is the best IMO)
Michael Jackson  (I only have "Thriller" and it's a great album IMO, it's a classic and I like it)
Limp Bizkit  (I have "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Favored Water" and "Results May Vary" and still like them. At the moment, the band is dead)
Linkin Park (There are some songs of the band I really like. I have "Meteora" and "Hybryd Theory" and IMO both are very good ones)
The Darkness  (I only have "Permission to Land" and.............. I think it's a good hard rock album. I still enjoy it)
Ramones (Yeeeeeeeeeeeees, I really like this band and IMO is the best one in the punk genre. I have a lot of songs of them and like them all, specially: HEY HO, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I want you to remember that this was before I get into prog (ELP, Jethro Tull, Opeth, Van der Graaf) though I still like all this albums.

I'm not ashamed of any music I listen to, but someone else might consider Norah Jones and Jamiroquai embarassing.

Apart from my teenage years, when I used to listen to Queen and Guns 'n Roses, I cannot think of any single band or artist I am embarrassed about.
Oh, I did have an Oasis album once... whatever possessed me, I have no clue, they are awful!
Well one album I do have, which I don't find embarrassing is "Relish", by Joan Osborne. That is a great album!
I also think "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age is a good album.
One more... and actually a true embarrassment, because I made a big mistake, is the latest album by Coheed and Cambria.

Agree about everything, except for ABBA being just a disco band.

In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
