What's happened to them since Exciter (I think that was the title)? I remember 'Dream On' was a hit in the summer of '01...

Really ashamed of - honestly... and this isn't like "hey, this song is so bad, it's novelty to like it"... I really like this crap...

Breathe Again by Toni Braxton
What's Going On by 4-Non Blondes
Quite a bit of Garth Brooks, Diamond Rio, and Brooks and Dunn

True statement. Martin Gore is kind of a freak though, even if he is a good musician/producer...

Depeche Mode. 'Nuf said.

I professed to liking them on another board and was told this: "Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Sigue Sigue Sputnik might have had trouble with [beating up] Depeche Mode, but not Wham."

I kind of like that Gwen Stefani song "what you waiting for" I turned it up real loud when it came on the radio the other day. My worst guilty pleasure was my sister borrowed my car awhile back and left Justin Timberlakes "justified" cd in there. I told her I couldnt find it for about 4 months and If anyone saw it I just said"yeah, my damn sister left that in here"

I've seen this "Cast" mentioned before, and do not know to what it refers. Could someone let me know? I take it that it has quite the high cheese content.

adult contemporary funk

Hall and Oates had a funky jam called "Your Imagination," or something like that. I heard "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" in the drugstore the other day and realized that I really liked it. Sometimes it helps to not hear something for 20 years. Hall and Oates get a bad rap, but they were good at what they did, and always had an excellent band. Don't forget that Daryl Hall recorded with Robert Fripp.

While I have dogged out Phil Collins in the past, I have to admit that his "I Missed Again" is another one of those AC funk jams that just get me goin'. It's not one I've heard too much, either, unlike some of his wretched ballads.

Loverboy's "Take Me To The Top" has such a funky synth riff, I'd be surprised if someone hasn't sampled it yet.

I've found myself having to defend my appreciation for Paul McCartney more than I would expect. I guess he's just done one too many cheesy tunes for some people.

ABBA, I'd never call a guilty pleasure. I loved them openly, and without shame.
Yeah ABBA is just simply great, nothing to be embarrased about.

Someone mentioned ELO, they are certainly not a guilty pleasure, they are also fantastic, especially from Out of the Blue and earlier. Damn they have some great stuff.

There is an Edie Gormet song called "Tonight I'll Say a Prayer" that has long been one of my favorite songs. THAT is a guilty pleasure if there ever was one.
