Do you like, maybe even love, songs that somehow you just know that you shouldn't? Maybe your friends would bang on you for it, but you just can't hep yosef?

How about:
Barry White - Can't Get Enough Of Your Love
Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find
Olivia Newton John - Magic
Emotions - You Get The Best of My Love

Ah, I feel better now. I've confessed. But maybe now I'll be banned???

So, got any guilty pleasures?

    proves the point that most of us came from the 80s. The best decade of genre era.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    My iPod is FILLED with them. To the point that I've considered having a playlist comprised of songs that I wouldn't be embarrassed about if friends were in the car with me.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I have a playlist called "Songs I pretend not to like". I'm not quite so bad that the opposite is needed (as in Bob's case), but my playlist is well guarded and password protected...

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Duran Duran
    New Order
    Pet Shop Boys
    The Cure
    INXS
    Love and Rockets
    Xymox

    Basically late 80's early 90's New Wave stuff. I have one friend, bless her heart, who loves this stuff. I don't listen regularly but the above and many others are sort of a guilty pleasure.

    I'll actually be 2nd row for The Cure this Sunday. Probably my all-time favorite band - or at least, the one that has been with me the longest.

    Nothing wrong with that one.

    How about The Beatles? Don't see them mentioned here often.

    Eh, don't worry about it-- I had two demands of our wedding DJ:

    1: You absolutely MAY NOT play Hokey Pokey.

    2: You absolutely MUST play Love Shack.

    IMO, a couple's marriage may not be valid if Love Shack wasn't played at their reception. ;)
