Almost all summer there was a dude set up with a Chinese violin on the downtown F platform at Broadway Lafayette that would play this Marx joint on repeat. Every fucking day I'm walking to the train and getting greeted with this fucking song. Just when I thought I was going to snap if I heard it one more time, the guy dissapears and hasn't come back.
Tom, Crowded House is a straight 80s Pizza Hut jukebox classic. I hear that song and think of waitresses wearing visors, and red plastic cups with watered down pepsi.
Who clowns on someone for liking Rah Band? Who clowns on someone for liking Depeche Mode? Those qualify as "guilty pleasures"?
Level 42 can't do much wrong in my book either -- that song in particular is uber poppy, but it's sort of engrained in my childhood -- that hook is a beast.
Dance Hall Days is the shit shit shit.
I mean, I like "I'm Too Sexy". That, to me, is a gulity pleasure - one which in my opinion seems unanimous. Same goes for "Roam" by the B-52s.
I also like "Porcelain" by Moby, "Sure Thing" by St. Germain, and "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth". I find those to be a much easier target as far as guilty pleasures go b/c they all seem to take themselves a little more seriously.
There's no right or wrong here obviously, it's just interesting to hear in what context people think of certain songs.
Richard Marx definitely falls into the guilty pleasure vein, though. That's on par with Bryan Adams.
that's a good middle ground for me between embarrassing and banger -- embarrassing mainly bc it's Julian Lennon -- just feel bad for the guy because, ya know, he's Julian Lennon. But ya, that song rules.

Love how in Footloose Kevin Bacon's character taught the bumpkins that it's better to be a good dancer than a good fighter. Of course, it took about a day and a half for his big city lessons to reverse themselves back to not entirely gay.
U dudes are soft. The song here are regular ass pop hits, that got played on the regular.
Give me some offensive shit that u can defend and then we'll have an interesting thread.

You mean that Michael Bolton, Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay, lucky-for-Otis-he's-already-dead-because-hearing-this-shit-would-surely-kill-him level of offensiveness? It'd take a bigger man than me.
Best I can do is the Backstreet Boys. I like As Long As You Love Me, All I Have To Give and I Want It That Way, and I really don't give a fuck what anyone thinks.

ya -- sorta feel it'd be more embarrassing not to like this one.
I'll see your Crowded House and raise you...

Sam Peckinpah directed that video.
I still play this joint out sometimes.
