Ok...so I know I'm not the only one that has these....you know what I'm talking about. You may have the most diverse and/or cultured taste in music but.....there's that one guilty pleasure you allow yourself. Mine, I will admit, is Robbie Williams....oh...and John Denver. A little bit cheesy, but you can't help it. What are your musical guilty pleasures?

I don't feel guilty about anyone I listen to.
I just heard Robbie Williams this morning, he's not that bad.
I listen to so many singers and types of music that I don't feel guilty listening to anyone.

I listen to the much maligned John Denver. I think his music is better than many give him credit.

I have to also admit to liking songs like "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"-not very thought provoking but fun to listen.

oh...I love that song! Paul Simon is good, but I don't know about a guilty pleasure. His work with or sans Garfunkle is very pure and simple.

Paul Simon is a guilty pleasure?
Oh wow Malizma, I'm in big trouble!
50 ways to leave your lover?
I've got the CD on my desk!
You've got me worried.

I agree...I mean there are some...ok...the Spice Girls. Nothing but guilty pleasure. NOT that I listen to them...he he he. But Paul Simon was a voice. Is still in fact.

I confess that I like the latest version of "It's Raining Men" by Gerri!
It's fun, it's fresh and her voice is not at all unpleasant.
So what more does one want from a feel good song?
And I saw the Spice Girls movie!

Ok the Spice Girls weren't the greatest vocalists of all time but why should they be? They produced some of the best pop songs of the past decade. Bruyere- I think Geri gets a bad press- OK, her voice is flat but she doesn't need to be a great singer to do the catchy pop she does. I have both her albums! I like Robbie too- and his vocie is actually pretty good.

My guilty pleasures...it used to be saw era Kylie in 1995-2000 then she went and became fashionable!!!
Still love that Pete Waterman music...simple catchy melodies. Not everything should be angst ridden issues music!

Love Littleowl

Like many of you, I'm not ashamed of anything that I listen to. Like most, however, I do catch a lot of grief for some of my records. My friends hate me when I play Quiet Riot.

OK ok, I love the dance routine, and I didn't even recognize Gerri with her new look! I loved the original group with the larger lovely black ladies singing it too! I can't remember their name!

Thanks Stevo, hey I just noticed that if you put ears on your smiley guy there, you'd be a Cheshire cat!

have to agree with lincoln. I have a Monkees t-shirt, and I'm not afraid to wear it !!

Sometimes, you have to embrace your own dagginess. It's the only way I stay (relatively close to) sane!!
