Let's see if I can think of ten...

The Corrs - Runaway
^ Used to love this one as a kid, and I still think it's a neat little song to this day. Gotta love that fiddle.

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
^ Another one that was all over the place when I was in junior school, and another one I still like today.

Lighthouse Family - High
^ Yeah, most of these are songs I liked as a kid and still do to varying degrees today, and this is no exception to that little rule.

Aswad - Don't Turn Around
^ This one's from Aswad's latter-day, over-produced, fairly dated reggae-pop phase in the 80s. A lot of what I've heard from that era I hate, but this one never fails to put a smile on my face.

All Saints - Never Ever
^ Just a great pop song this, no matter how much else of their stuff and ilk I can't stand.

I'll name-drop the other five some other time I guess.

Torn is a perfectly inoffensive, well intentioned Pop song sung by a gorgeous creature to boot. I cannot commend you on All Saints though!

Hmm...guilty pleasures...

1.Jennette McCurdy- So Close
She actually can sing, I was really surprised
2. DaVinci's Notebook- Secret Asian Man
It's stupid, and cheesy but so enjoyable
3. Say Anything- Alive With The Glory Of Love
Yes it's generic pop-punk, but it's so catchy
4. Barry Louis Polisar- All I Want Is You
It's a cute children song.
5. Taylor Swift- The Way I Loved You
Ok, I started off hating this song, but it grew on me.
6. Elvenking- Trows Kind
It's Italian folk-metal with an electric violin, with terrible fantasy lyrics, but I like it.
7. Mellisa Ferrick- Never Give Up
I feel like a 40 year old housewife whenever I listen to this song, but it's upbeat and uplifting!
8. Sixpence None The Richer- Kiss Me
This doesn't fit with my taste at all, yet I grew up liking it, and I still like it.
9. Hootie and the Blowfish- Only Wanna Be With You
Once again, a childhood love, whenever I hear it, I enjoy it.
10. Blink-182- Adam's Song
Since I saw that other people were mentioning Blink 182 as a guilty pleasure I will too, another band I grew up loving, and this is the only song I still like by them.

In no particularly embarrassing order...

ABBA - Take A Chance - Only ABBA song I can really stand
2 Live Crew - Me So Horny - I love the FMJ sample.
Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride - Pure 70's soft rock
The Cowsills - The Rain, The Park and Other Things - The original Partridge Family
REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You - Catchy
Terrance Trent D'arby - Wishing Well - always thought he had an awesome voice
Jermaine Stewart - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off - fun song to dance to until I found out that he did take his clothes off and died of AIDS
RATT - Round and Round - obligatory 80's rock song
Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch - My wife and I have sex doggystyle so we can watch X Files (and the news)
Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)- another catchy 70's pop song
