We had this question a few years ago on this board, but it's buried and I can't find it. So....with so many newer members, let's hear it again! What/ who is your guilty pleasure? (old or new)
Mine: Madonna's [i]Ray of Light[/i] and [i]Music[/i] (if that's the right title) CDs.
And some catchy dance chart stuff, like Sugababes, iio, & Alice Deejay.

Edisonoside's post in the thread motors linked to reminded me how great a song "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John is. That tune in definitely on my GP list.

ELO - Last Train to London [:0]
Who woulda thunk I'd dig such a prog rock meets disco track, epitomizing the two most polarizing love/hate genres of the 70s.

There was another thread I wish I could find but my searching abilities seem to be eluding me. It was called "shouldn't like but you do" or something similar. Anyone remember it?

I love disco, although I've never felt too guilty about that.
I do hesitate to tell people that I have a deep, undying love for shit-kicking country - old bluegrass, classic country from the 50's & 60s, traditional stuff...Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, etc.
As for more normal stuff -
Loverboy - Workin For the Weekend
Wham - Different Corner
The entire Toni Basil "Word of Mouth" album
(jeez, those are worse than the twangy stuff...)

Twisted Sister
Boney M.
The Shaggs (So wrong they are right)

enzfan,
those are exactly my husband's guilty pleasures too! In fact, last night, we were hanging out with a couple friends, and I casually put in some CDR mix he had of 70s. He got a bit embarrassed at all the cheese. heh![:I]
