Since Binokular has admitted to being quite fond of Planet Perfecto I though that I'd rummage through my record collection and see what cheese I was concealing at the back of the pile. Although I'm not particulary proud of this I stumbled across quie a few whiffy numbers culminating in this top 30;
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
Toni Basil - Mickey
Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Destiny's Child - Bootylicious
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body
The Knack - My Sharona
Bryan Ferry - Let's Stick Together
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian
S-Express - Theme From S-Express
AC/DC - Back In Black
The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star
Lucy Pearl - Don't Mess With My Man
ELO - Living Thing
KC & The Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight
Scissor Sisters - Filthy Gorgeous
Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
Nena - 99 Red Baloons
Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime
Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way
Sir Mix-a-lot - Baby Got Back
Bruce Springsteen - Rosalina Come Out Tonight
2pac - California Love
The Police - Message In A Bottle
The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
LL Cool J - Phenomenon
Snap - The Power
The Cars - Just What I Needed
Does anybody else have any guilty pleasures to confess? Are there any Wedding DJ staples that you secretly love?

Maybe we're getting too far inside my twisted little mind, but I don't actually see a problem with anything in this list, its mostly top stuff, except 2Pac, never liked him  |

Ah, to be honest, there's worse bands than Kula Shaker. They had a few decent songs. Shame about the lyrics. And the singer. And the swastika.

Ah here Norman. You can't declare you shame for having Kula Shaker albums half way through a thread and then start defending them (and therefore your abject poor taste) later on!
Hang you head in (pseudo indian chanty) shame!

Norm man, I was at their gig in Dublin Castle (with support from Juniper fronted by 'Dodi Ma' aka Damien Rice) - I was around 15 years old, front row and all about the 'Chinta Beda Beda Tattfaa Taaaaaaaatfaaaaaaaaa'
So I can identify.  |

Yeah, I think so as well. Would'nt be embarrassed by most of those. Would also throw in the Cult's She sells Sanctuary. Great lyrics, great guitar...just general all round greatness from a bunch of hairy bastards. |

Put Em Under Pressure, the '90 World Cup number 'penned' (read: nicked from Horslips) by Larry Mullen Jnr.
"You gotta give, you gotta give, you gotta give to win...Goal!'
Great for watching Reelin in the Years while wrapped in a Tricolour, and drinking cans of Guinness...

I fail to see how a rack from a critically acclaimed pop album is a "Guilty pleasure"? Its fun so it must be wrong or something? What would it take for you folks NOT to be embarrased by a track. I'm just curious because a lot of the stuff listed here is really, really good! I mean come on! Annie? Toni Basil? Destinys Child? The Knack? The Bangles? KC & The Sunshine Band? ELO? B52s? The Cars? lipps inc.? Brian Ferry? Dexys'? Junior Senior? - This is really great stuff, some of these artists have put out entire albums that were great, never mind singles!
Lifes too short to deny yourself this kind of of fun, I mean stuff like The Smiths is great, but so is Bananarama.

'Guilty pleasures' is a bit of a misnomer. It's not that I'm guilty of liking these songs but that some people might not regard them as worthy of praise seeing as they are not in the alternative genre.
Personally, I am one of the least snobby people when it comes to music. If a tune is good I like it whether it's abba or xiu xiu!

Would you really class 'Roxy Music' as a guilty pleasure?? They're way too cool to be un-cool cool ...
Anyway, my guilty pleasure is ELO.. Musicly anyway

All your choices are fine apart from one: Ronan Keating. That is totally and utterly unforgivable and I am surprised you have have the audacity to still show your face around these parts. |

Oh dear.. I don't think I'll be able to look some of you in the (virtual) eye again. Anywho, as you've all exposed yourselves as deeply disturbed individuals, I might as well chip in with my, 'My Guilty Pleasures'
Jump - Kriss Kross
Maneater - Hall and Oates
Sex Crimes - Eurthymics
Close to the edit - Art of Noise
Remember Me - Blueboy
And, Christ, That Dance Mix of the Baywatch theme tune.

Ah Jules, sorry, but even by my standards that track is just pants. It marks the exact point that she ran out of ideas, or at least people to nick ideas from. Like some early Madonna, "Ray of light" is good, most of "Music" is good, I even think her cover of American Pie is better than Don McCleans' version, but this track is mind numbingly tedious.
As for Ronan Keating, inexcusable, the only man who can take that awful and inexplicably popular Goo Goo Dolls song and make it worse. Talk about scuffing up a turd. |
