Of course I love new wave music from the 80's, but I'll be 41 in June and there are a few guilty pleasure songs I have on my computer's mp3 player:

Benny Mardones - Into The Night
Wham - Careless Whisper
The Babies - Isn't It Time
Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive
Foreigner - Urgent
Scandal - Goodbye To You
Rocky Burnett - Tired Of Towing The Line

I also enjoy Wham!'s "Careless Whisper" and love Scandal's "Good Bye to You."

My big claim to shame is knowing all the words to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana." I love that friggin song and all it's cheezy goodness.

Laura Branigan - Self Control rocks.

The DX-7 sounds in that song are so freaking hot.

But then again, I like a lot of stuff... Come on, I proclaim Kajagoogoo and Re-Flex as the masters of the 80s, even though they were one hit wonders.

Wal Mart was giving out free sponges today!

I'm not embarrassed by anything I listen to. I'll even admit without shame to liking some ABBA.

Its all good. I dated a girl one evening, she loved Dancing Queen like crazy. She called herself the dancing queen. Good song though. I also liked Waterloo.

"Don't forget me" by Glass Tiger.

Also, Melissa Manchester's "You should hear how she talks about you."

It's not that I'm embarrassed per se...it's just that I wouldn't put these songs on when, for example, anyone else is around.

I've been known to play Jethro Tull's "Songs From The Wood" album at ear-splitting volume in the privacy of my own car. I live in fear that one day I'll pull up alongside some gorgeous girl and she'll glance over to see me lipsyncing along with Ian Anderson and she'll just bolt off looking disgusted.

Luckily this has'nt happened yet. I've been careful.

I don't play Madonna's "Ray of Light" and "Music" when anyone else is around, although sometimes my husband will put up with it.

"Self Control" is a GREAT song...give it a new listen, you guys, and see what you think.

Ray of Light is good, because of William Orbit. I don't know why Music is good, but I like Out Of Your Mouth's version.

Self Control is an okay song, nothing to get excited about or to be embarrassed about.
