i was sitting trying to think of something, first that came to mind is the black parade (the whole album) by mcr but it's not really guilty, it's really good. then came Radiohead who I got into right before thoms really bad Israel stance, which made it much more guilty... THEN I remembered it's Kanye. 1000% Kanye. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of my fav albums of all time, and it's extremely unfortunate. i used to argue that Kanye had a point with every fucked up thing he said and that he just articulated it extremely poorly up until the maga and Nazi shit. now it just makes me sad that he makes really good music.

We Built this City - by Starship

It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef's kiss on that one.

The Flys - Got You Where I Want You, Rob Zombie -Dragula, Real McCoy - Runaway

Vengaboys - We Like To Party

That country song where she takes a bat to her bf's car because he cheated on her. True, its not emotionally mature, but its fun to sing.

Sclub 7: Reach for the stars Or Bring It All Back

However Don't Stop Movin' is an actual banger.

Going back in time even more to a forgotten abba copy band. Upside Down by the A*Teens.

Bottom of Your Boots by Ella Langley. I don't even fucking listen to country but there is a pop kind of tune they've injected into the song that makes it bearable despite the cringe lyrics. I am looping this as I write.

Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.

Electric Six - Gay Bar

At the time, I was into the Rockband games, and when this song came out, I flat-out refused to sing it. I felt like I was being punked. My wife sang it instead, the song was awesome, and I went from "I would never" to "I will sing it" to "I will be the first one to pick it every time." IIRC it's fairly easy for all instruments, so it's fine to pick early before the band is properly warmed up. Like you never start with Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, or certain other ones, unless you wanna be in a fight with your drummer and/or guitarist. Or they're gonna turn around and pick Spoonman, by Soundgarden, which is hell on vocals. In other words, you're in a fight.

Years later, I discovered the music video, which is 100% on point. It's a stupid/silly song and the video pulls no punches. TL;DW, the band members are all dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and... well... nah, just watch it. It might make some RWNJs think twice about saying they're "the party of Lincoln". Because apparently... Lincoln knew how to party?

Anakin vs Obi-Wan but it's a musical or conversely, Council of Elrond but it's a musical by Elf Tale Films, it's the only two examples I've ever seen of AI being a "good" for society... just don't watch their other music videos unless you want to feel like you're having a brain aneurysm.

Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Something about the lyrics just makes me smile.

Maybe not exactly a guilty pleasure, as the band actually OK overall.. But

"Instamatic" by Vertical Horizon

Neil Peart was the guest drummer and it's very apparent he makes a massive impact on Vertical Horizon. The entire band becomes way more precise and the song just hits differently and harder than any of their other work.

Gunther: Ding Dong Song.

It hasn't agred well die to the sexualization of women. But that's the guilty part I guess.

Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.

Absolute territory <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv_SV_ki_Q0

I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?

Those that people around me do not approve:

• Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
• Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
• A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
• Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
• Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
• Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)

Icona Pop - I love it

It seems a lot of others dont know what "guilty pleasure" means.

A few songs by Modern Talking. Only about once a year, though.

Speaking of which...

Everglow - La Di Da

This song isn’t necessarily bad but it is somewhat of a toxic but relatable tune to my adhd self.

Go All The Way · The Amazons

I was about to say that I dont have one because I love all the music I listen to and im not ashamed of any of it. Then I remembered 2018 where I listened to KDA PopStars so many times on repeat that it still sits at the top of my music mogging the music I actually like.

Wrong side of heaven by five finger death punch

Take it off by Ke$ha.

It's such a good song.

I'm embarrassed to say, but Lindsay Lohan - Speak. Don't hate me!

Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that's a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it's still kind of a moment.

It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.

Leftover Crack's first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.

die young by kesha for sure, I love it its such a mood

Anything Spice Girls.

Most music sung by Japanese idols, because while I'm absolutely infatuated by the music, the knowledge of what kind of horrible working conditions they have to endure is like a splinter in my brain. But if I had to mention just one, why not go back to the good old days. 🥰

WetLeg : Chaise Longue

Toy-box The Sailor Song
