Guilty Pleasures…100 songs that you love that make you respect yourself a little less…

By Mike

Musical Guilty Pleasures…

A guilty pleasure is a song or a band you would listen to, but sure as hell wouldn’t wear the t-shirt in public….or tell your friends about for that matter.

You’ll listen to the song and belt it out when driving on the highway, but never in the city with your window down.

b5media’s Music Channel presents…

100 songs that you love that make you respect yourself a little less.

Grow your hair out, dye it blonde, crimp it and check out Metal Martyr’s head bangers guide to guilty pleasure headset only songs. One word…White Lion, wait, that’s two words…but two sweet words.

Oz Music Scene reminds us that even in Australia Olivia Newton John is a guilty pleasure. No, really she is.

Our Digital Music gives us ‘10 songs I love that I know I probably shouldn’t.’

Big Apple Music Scene gives us songs to listen to…when you’re alone.
Mike actually admits that the lyric “Oh Mandy, when you kissed me and stopped me from shaking” is magical. This just in…Mike just lost all his friends.

Join in the shame at She Plays Music where after submitted her list, Deb is quoted as saying, “Now…I walk away and hang my head in shame.” This list must be good…or bad.

The history of music in the UK is already chalk full of guilty pleasures, so this list at Brit Music Scene should be full of horrible (yet brilliant) gems.

The confessions of The Good Musician seems to be a contradiction…how can you be a good musician and yet sing those guilty pleasure songs at the top of your lungs and be okay with it? Arjun puts forth a great list here.

Roberta at Earsucker had to dig deep into the vault for some of her gems, but the fact that she includes Fenix TX in her list proves that she’s not as cool as we all thought she was.

When you’re as cool as Jennifer, it’s hard to think of 10 embarassing songs you like, but being a hippie at Hippie Sounds provided Jennifer with a wealth of material.

Hang your head in shame with us and let us know what songs we missed or what songs we included that make you respect yourself less as well.

Together, we can be bigger geeks than we ever imagined.

Enjoy.
