Guilty Pleasures... (singer, dancing, dance, pop, album)

Blink 182 - I Miss You

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Paul McCartney's 80s back catalogue

Some of Ringo's solo tunes

The Pet Shop Boys had some great pop/dance tunes back in the day. Synths usually grate on me, but when the song is good (Suburbia, What Did I Do To Deserve This?, Domino Dancing), it doesn't matter. Still a major guilty pleasure though.

And even though I enjoy Van Morrison's "Into The Music," I can't help but see it as a guilty pleasure. Most of Van's music sounds like Phil Collins for Dylan fans.

Bronski Beat - Small Town Boy

For one, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I pretty much grew up with this band and I still like them a lot, but a lot of people I know seem to hate them.

Also Jason Mraz. One of the few pop singers of the recent years that I like. (Though "The Remedy" has been ruined for me due to overplaying)

I'll second Jason Mraz. Paramore is a guilty pleasure of mine. I've heard so many people attack Paramore for being pop fluff but damnit if their songs aren't catchy.

Their songs aren't catchy.

Third Eye Blind for me.

For some reason I love these guys me and my friend used to get drunk and do like this whole choreographed thing to Motorcycle Drive By and that song still reminds me of 1997-1998 so much that I almost tear up when I hear it...I saw them live though and was not impressed.

My entire hometown worships 3eb so that's kind of our drinking band. Lots of good memories with that bunch.

I thought they put on a pretty decent live show when I saw them, they were fun, not spectacular, but a whole lot of fun.
