These are the ones I won't even attempt to defend, but so what, it's a free country, right? I would list ABBA, but that's become too cool of a guilty pleasure (aka the guilty pleasure you don't have to feel guilty about).
Say it Loud and Proud on the Guess Who. Their greatest hits album used to get a lot play on my turntable.In my opinion, less of a guilty pleasure than ABBA, not to say I have anything bad to say against Abba. The Association well...my life would continue just fine without hearing Cherish again.
Nice List
The Guess Who's lead singer's voice is definitely one of the all time coolest. I wouldn't necessarily classify them as "guilty pleasures" if it weren't for the reputation they have unfairly gotten as just another hard rock dinosaur (Lenny Kravitz didn't help anything)...

That would be Burton Cummings. He sings like a bird. Those guys are really good. No shame in loving these guys, I certainly do. You are very cool Johnny, despite the fact you don't like the movie Kids.
Thanks. The title of these "guilty pleasure" lists that everyone has is kind of misleading I suppose. I don't feel guilty or ashamed over most of these things, but I guess the title comes from the expectation that others would expect to feel guilty. Something to think about...
