Not familiar with some of the above, but I fail to see any truly guilty pleasures here.
No one here with the balls to admit their love for Celine Dion or Modern Talking? Now that would be something... My guiltiest pleasure would probably be Shaggy. His songs are so wonderfully silly. |

Judging on the responses of my last poll, my guilty pleasure is An Island in the Darkness by Tony Banks.
I can't stop listening to it & i'll never in this lifetime understand why it's exiled from the light.

OK, this is really embarrassing, but I kinda like this weird hippie band called Yes.

I like Love Beach the single! As well as Turn it on Again, Mama, I Can't Dance, Jesus He Knows Me, all the catchy singles, obviously not Illegal Alien nor Who Dunnit?
I do like Simply Red, a pop band with funk/soul/R&B influences, which I find very entertaining every now and then. Also the New Wave/Pop band, INXS. Though I don't think my friends would be ashamed if I liked this, I mean I don't think they listen to any better than this  |

I don't know if i like anything I personally would consider embarassing.
Giorgio Moroder's From Here to Eternity might come close, though. |

This will come as no surprise to those who read the Guilty Pleasure posts, but that new box of Abba The Albums is very tempting to me. We're talking 9 CD's of pure Europop here. Resistance may be futile. |

wow...i know me and other members here love The Smiths, you really think that song was the onlydecent thing they did? why? After all is a matter of taste, but i feel it's strange someone expresses like this about The Smiths

And you have excellent taste, sir  ! B-52's were a great, very entertaining band, and living proof that pop music can be intelligent.As for myself, I am not ashamed of anything I like, nor should anyone else. A couple of weeks ago I bought a compilation of one of my favourite Eighties bands, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Some of those tracks are dynamite (and Steve Howe even guests on one )!Edited by Raff - February 24 2009 at 06:46 |

Yes they are!
She bought them at the same time she bought the 3 CD set of Soft Cell's 12" remixes... |

I'M ASHAMED OF NOTHING IN MY MUSIC COLLECTION!!!
Every album / single I own is a snapshot of where my musical tastes were at the time of purchase, so there - I have no skeletons in my closet and can hold my head high as any friend of mine rifles through the CD racks 
Just try to overlook the AIIZ album... 
...and the complete collection of George Michael solo albums is my wife's not mine... ...honest

Indeed, there are many discussion about guilty pleasures around here, and I seldom particpate. The few guilty pleasures I've acquired over the years, make 'Feel' by Robbie Williams (indeed a good song imo) look like the coolest Canterbury jazz exploration ever performed..
Dont even go there...

Most people bang on about what they've got in their music collection, what they like and what they intend to buy, but tucked behind that stash of King Crimson and Genesis CDs will be something that you don't want your mates to see. I'm not talking about that Westlife album your Granny gave you, when she thought SHE was 'with it'. I'm talking about something that you genuinely liked and bought, but if your friends found out, you'd be cast out as a Judas, never to drink with them again. I'll start. There's a couple of things by Madonna I like - "Dear Jessie" (which sounds a little Christmassy) and "Beautiful Stranger". There's a single by Robbie Williams that makes my hair stand on end, and I can't remember what it's called. It has a simple (but effective) repeating piano riff and a bit of slide guitar. I think it had a single word title. It did - it's "Feel". "Patience" by Take That "How Soon is Now" - The Smiths (the ONLY decent thing they've ever done) I was given "The Eternal Fire of Jimi Hendrix" by my mother. She thought she was the bees-knees as it only cost 59p (about 40c) in 1972. It was utter rubbish - a blatant cash-in on Hendrix's good name. I turned it into a frisbee, which shattered when it hit a lamppost!
OK, I've covered myself in Ess Aitch Eye Tee - your turn!
