My favorite is "Big Girls Don't Cry".

They haven't totally fell off the map. Jersey Boys is a "jukebox" musical of their music. When it first came out I wanted to see it and I thought at the time the price of the tickets a bit pricey, they might have gone done since then. I would had like to see Frankie Valli in concert. I got to see Flo & Eddie (The Turtles) at Six Flags once. I have no shame about 60s music so I don't consider none of those bands and songs a guilty pleasure.

Neither do I, and honestly the only reason why there's even a concept of guilty pleasures is because of peer pressure. I don't think you should ever listen (or not listen) to music based on how socially acceptable it is.

I saw the film of Jersey Boys, directed by Clint Eastwood. It was awfully inaccurate and made Frankie look like an angel and the others, especially Tommy DeVito, like his followers.

I think a guilty pleasure is when you know it's not that great, but you still enjoy it a lot anyways. Usually happens because of nostalgia, but there can also be other reasons.

I don't have any guilty pleasures tbh. Who am I to judge other people for their taste? Why should I judge myself?

Unless it's Journey, of course. Tell me that you dig Journey and the gloves are off.

(I secretly love Journey)

My dad went through a "Barbie Girl" phase. Although he's not the type of person to feel guilty about that.

Personally, I turn into a teenage girl and listen to The Smiths sometimes.

idk if this counts but i secretly like gimmicky rappers with zero street credit such as Dan Bull, Zack Sherwin or Dumbfoundead.

I prefer their humorous lyrics over the gangsta credibility most rapper want to have. idk much about rap but imagine rappers like this don't get alot of respect in the rap community cause they don't rap about being tough and your usual gangsta stuff. This is why i can't share this kinda music with my rapper friends or anybody really.. i don't personally anyone who likes it.
