Bon Jovi was my first concert. I was 13 and my dad took me.
I made up for it as my next 2 concerts were Rush and Rush.
My guilty pleasure:
Britney. My wife is always listening to that station that wive's listen to. I think there are subliminal messages or hypnotic something or another because now when it comes on I find myself tapping my foot.
Or it could be the libido.
Yeah probably the libido.

Dave Matthews band used to be really, really good, so I wouldn't call the older stuff a guilty pleasure, but alot of songs on their past few albums, along with Dave's solo album sometimes make me feel a little guilty. There's something about it that screams "sellout," "over-marketed," and "shiny," to me, but what do you expect from a guy who packs concerts with 2 - 72 year olds? But I think he lost a great deal of his audience during the past few years. It seems like alot of good music from the 90s is evidently turning into a strange, 80s-like movement now in the 2000s. Funny that...
Classic rock makes me feel guilty sometimes. Styx, Fleetwood Mac, Boston - these bands are just so-so, I would say. Therefore, guilt ensues.
I guess I would have to say that I like 90s alt-rock too. Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and such were very big when I was a teen in the 90s so perhaps it's just maudlin feelings.

It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.

Why do people feel guilty about these great music styles? I'm proud to own several Death albums, and a few others - selectively picked, as there is a lot of nonsense going on in that genre, it's true.
I'll bet there's at least one forum out there now, where someone is writing in a very similar thread...
(wibbly screen effects...)
"...my guilty secret is that I like prog. Not much - I once bought "Kayleigh" by Marillion, but never threw it away, because I suddenly discovered I liked it. I almost bought their new album, but fortunately my best mates took me clubbing and made sure I listened to loads of real cool house music, then bought me a copy of "Now That's What I Call Music 57". I've booked in to have my lobotomy next week - then maybe I'll be able to get rid of that embarrasing record "
(/wibbly screen effects...)
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass anyone?

Confession time!
Recent non- prog of any kind puchases I have made include;
The Changelings - Astronomica (ever heard of them?)
Erben der Schopfung - Elis (how about them?)
Tesla - Into the Now (I know you've heard of them)
Bearing Strait - S/T
Santa Esmerelda - The Best
Hero / A Rock Opera - Various
Now wasn't that interesting?

More than guilty pleasures, I rather refer to them as that particular dark side we all must have! And they’re:
SADE – Lovers Live (just happen to have a fetish upon Sade Adu btw… )
STING – Sacred Love (the worst album ever by Mr. Gordon Mathew Summer) 
ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER – White Winds (I know what you thinking! But just can’t help it now…) 
ENYA – Watermark (there’s something about her…) 
DIRE STRAITS – Alchemy (couldn’t have left Mr. Knoppfler out since Sting is here!)

Isn't there just!!!
I think that Clannad and Enya deserve to be in the archives. I just love that music when I need a serious dose of "chill". Shepherd Moons is astounding too.

Funny thing is, I actually liked the first couple DMB discs ("Under The Table and Dreaming", "Crash"), after that something definitely got lost, and what a shame. "Before These Crowded Streets" had its moments but by the time "Everyday" eolled around, it's like they threw away everything that made them stand out in the first place (having Glen Ballard producing didn't help any) and totally dumbed down. The drummer, Carter Beauford is actrually a monster, Il oved those first 2 albums just for his drumming alone.

HI, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.
How I love Sade's music!!!... and how I love to watch Sade Adu singing on DVDs!! This is not a guilty pleasure, this is good taste for exquisite jazz-pop oriented emotional music for non-prog romantic moments. Long live Sade Adu!!! The older she grows, the prettier she gets!! Never stop whispering and humming your desolate words of love lost to my ears... NEVER, MY SMOOTH OPERATOR!!!
Enya is also a brilliant performer, both on vocals and keyboards. her sense of vocal chorale is unique. mixing the Middle Ages and the Celtic folk. She's also very beautiful, not in an exotic way, but as a fairy. out of earthly reach, but always by my side in an alternate universe of enchanted forests and mystical rivers. Though her later recordings find her reiterating her own cliches, I regard her first 3 albums as some of the New Age recordings ever. No guilt in enjoying them, either.
Without any sexual drive implied on the following ones, I also enjoy Vollenweider's and Mannheim Steamroller's works (the ones I know). But let me tell you about this guilty pleasure of mine, since I'm standing among friends - ASIA's poppish love song 'Never in a Million Years', from 'Alpha'. Now, THAT'S A REAL GUILTY PLEASURE!!! I can't help it, specially those synth arpeggios under the final vocals choruses during the fade-out. That and the SPICE GIRLS!! I can't imagine any guiltier pleasures, actually.
Regards

I totally hear you César! No matter what genre you like over another or what kind of music you’re used to listen to, Sade is a must in any type of music collection. Her DVD’s collection is completely enticing, especially “Lover Live” (where you can get the complete track list missing from the CD with the same name) and the most important thing, you get to see her dance, move, sing… and every single detail creates the perfect ambience to get quite moody…

Joe Lynn Tuner at his gayest! (once went to see him alonside Glen Hughes and, since my brother-in-law could not travel to see Joe, I got him to speak with Joe via my cell phone. Fan-Fatale stuff, I know)
I prefer Phil Collins solo albums than Peter Gabriel's...
I am a heavy metal and AOR fanatic.
I think Yes' "Talk" is a masterpiece. Like anything Trevor Rabin does (includin his Bruckheimer's soundtracks).
I bought the David Hasselhoff album and the Traci Lords one (althogh the latter was a present)
The list could go on and on but it is already too creepy.

The Tracy Lords (that remarkable actress) was a present for ME. And I even listened to it THREE TIMES. And I got AROUSED.
