I know there has been a few topics like this in the past, but it has been awhile since the last one, so :p.

Back to the point, are there any songs that are like guilty pleasures for you? (Songs that you are a bit ashamed of liking, or even songs that you like the song but hate the band.)

:sweat: I've got quite a few:

Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
Beautiful Soul - Jesse McCartney
Shut Up - Simple Plan
Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
Hot in Herre - Nelly
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Cowboy - Kid Rock
Like a Pill - Pink
Don't Let Me Get Me - Pink
Hold On - Good Charlotte
It's About You - Train
Remedy - Jason Mraz


Well, that's enough for now. . . anyone else have some?

Beautiful Soul - Jesse McCartney


haha.Me too.I find myself listening to this song even after a whole day of bashing him!:sweat:

Lose yourself on the other hand is one of Eminem's best songs.

Dirrty~ Christina Aguilera
Since You Been Gone~ Kelly Clarkson
I'm with you~ Avril Lavigne (Although I really dislike Avril)
Hot in Herre~ Nelly (Don't like Nelly much either)

There's more. But I have to think of some.

iTune's Japanaradio, which plays J-pop and anime.

But easy listening music from Japan that I want to buy albums of.

This is a great topic. I've got more of these than you can shake a stick at, and unlike with my real-life friends, I can actually share them with you guys. I don't think I could ever look somebody in the eye and tell them I like some of these songs...

-"Roam", by the B-52s
-Pretty much the entirety of No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom album
-"Like A Prayer", Madonna
-"Just Cruisin'", Will Smith
-"Destiny", Zero 7
-Ani Difranco's cover of "Leaving On A Jet Plane"
-"Only God Knows Why", Kid Rock
-"The Living Daylights", a-ha. I swear, this is one of the most underrated Bond songs out there, but until people start agreeing with me, I suppose it's a guilty pleasure.

I think that's enough for now, given that I've probably just lowered my standing with TZ's hardcore music fans quite a bit.

-"The Living Daylights", a-ha. I swear, this is one of the most underrated Bond songs out there, but until people start agreeing with me, I suppose it's a guilty pleasure.Well yeah it is underrated, but it's an insanely weird song for John Barry to go out on. And View to a Kill is a masterpiece.

Anyhoo.

"Rock Lobster" - B-52's
"Flash Gordon" - Queen
"Yellow Pearl" - Phil Lynott
"Every Sperm is Sacred" - Monty Python
Themes from Another World, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light - Charles Paul

There's an 80's radio station I listen to that's full of guilty pleasures, as well as a "hip" modern-hits station equally full of them.

The largest revelation to me, as I've been listening over the past year, scared me to death. Every time I heard something really good on the 80's station, or something I remembered that I'd always loved, the announcer would come back on and say she'd just played Madonna. This happened at least five times. Every time, it always turned out to be Madonna!
I just about had a panic attack--Madonna is supposed to be a slut with no talent--her songs can't be GOOD!! AAAAAAAHHH!!!!

But they're.....gulp....very very good. I think I like Madonna. I have a problem....*sniff*

In the UK we have 2 albums made up of "guilty pleasure" songs

This one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002SV4OQ/qid=1111333602/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_10_2/026-0123357-9722016

And this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007SMEO0/qid=1111333602/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/026-0123357-9722016

I'm actually suprised about some of the songs chosen in the second album

I am addicted to iTune's Japanaradio.

They don't play North America's version of "pop" on there.

Since I don't really care what people think about what I like, there really isn't much that I would consider a "guilty pleasure".

However, a few recent songs I was very surprised that I actually liked.

I have not liked anything Jack Johnson has done, but for some reason I like his new song "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing". I can't figure out why.

Also, I've wanted to denounce anyone that has had something to do with American Idol, but I still can't help but like some of Kelly Clarkson's songs- most recently "Breakaway" and "Since U Been Gone".
