Only 5?? Jesus, where do I start... Actually I dig tons of stuff whether other people think it stinks or not. Hence, no guilt

Most of my guilty pleasure songs are - *gasp* disco...
Donna Summer - She Works Hard for the Money
Sister Sledge - We Are Family, All American Girls, BYOB (Bring your own Baby)
Disco Inferno, Play that Funky Music...
Some great stuff there, you just have to go thru a lot of chaf (substitute your favorite bad word) to find it. Sure gets an audiance out on the dance floor, though!

the dreaded double edged sword that is disco.. should i love it because it produced Donna Summer and made Barry White the dopest man alive (at the time) or do i loathe it because it made Kool and the Gang terrible

Earth Wind and Fire may have been one of the best shows ive ever seen..they constantly tour with Chicago..when their bands combine to do their big hits its amazing! i swear theres like 70 horns doing September

Wild Cherry is from right up the road here.. Bobby Parissi's mom lives(ed?) right behind my grandma. still one of my favorite songs to play for folks on the bass. it always brings a smile

Apparently I'm the only one on here that likes Taylor Swift, not enough to buy her stuff but enough that I don't change the station.

funny thing about that song is i moved back to Pittsburgh over it. i was at a bar in Minneapolis and it came on when the jukebox was on random..i of course was drinking and i started singing along as you should when youre drunk and it comes on. i looked around and everyone was looking at me like "what is the song and why are you singing it" im a young spry 28 yr old who dosent look like he has a bit of country in him but damn it when you dont have to call me darlin comes on YOU SING ALONG.

at that moment i decided i didnt belong and it was time to go..3 months later im sauced in a bar in Weirton WV drunk and singing my heart out, with 30 other people.

everything in red is a classic and not to be ashamed of.
in blue is a great artist only tainted by questionable decisions. anything in black is a reason to be ashamed

Judging by how most of tb feels about these bands, I'd Say anything from Seether, Shinedown, Godsmack, Puddle of Mud, and Nickelback. I wouldn't call them guilty pleasure tho since I like them and I dont care who knows, just seems you guys hate on those 5 bands a lot, lol.
