I think all of mine have been outed in the 'Song Title' thread. I do like to belt out Delta Dawn (by Tanya Tucker) once in a while.

Also remembered Miley Cyrus' version of Lilac Wine. The kid has problems, but boy can she sing.

Michael Jackson (R.I.P.) : Thriller Album (any song). He had a lot of problems, but music wasn't one of them.

Bee Gees How Deep in your Love.

Like Susanwv. I also love old country western music, but I don't feel at all guilty about liking it. I don't think I have any guilty pleasures. I tend to be very self indulgent because I figure if I enjoy something and I am not hurting anyone else....so be it. Maybe I won't always be able to indulge myself.

Thriller is one of the most successful albums ever, there's no need to feel guilty about liking it.

For me, I'll put Disco and Hawaiian music into that category. Others don't share my enjoyment of these, so my listening times for them are restricted to when I'm alone. At home I have playlists ready to go when needed, but thank goodness for Pandora in the car to be able to quickly call up custom stations in these styles.

I don't really have a guilty pleasure with music either. I like what I like and have no worries about what others might think but my DH has one that really cracks me up and that's music by Boney M, a european group that's been around since the 70's.

I love Boney M's Rasputin and Rivers of Babylon. It was a phony group, the performers on the recordings were different from those who appeared in public. The German producer behind the scenes was the same one who later manufactured the phony group Milli Vanilli.

Phil Spector did the same thing here in the US during the 60s

Bony M's recordings (and some YouTube videos) are entertaining all the same.

Beyonce....Put a Ring on it....Single Ladies

Carrie Underwood.....Before He Cheats

Old country music is the only 'country' music there is. The so called country music of the last 15 years or so is more like the 'rock' music of that time. We love the old style country and don't feel guilty about it.

I do have a guilt feeling about a silly song from the '70's I think. One called "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates"...the next line is... and you've got a brand new key. (now, what is that supposed to mean) Don't have a clue who sang it, but it often is an ear worm with me.

I also love and play often, my John Phillip Sousa "Stars and Stripes Forever" cd and keep time with my feet as best I can!

Michael Jackson & Disco

I too am a fan of old country music. I love Willie Nelson, the Oak Ridge Boys, Reba McEntire,Glen Campbell, Kenny Rogers, some Dolly Parton just to name a few.

Disco! I have a lot of fun memories during the 70's disco era. Disco dancing every weekend at some really good clubs in SF Bay Area :) I love so many of the songs that I really can't pick a favorite.

I also like Rap music, but none that conveys violence.

Mine is more a listening style guilty pleasure. If I am really into the mood of listening to a certain song, I will sometimes repeat listen to it many times in a row.

No favorite songs, but I am really liking my 50's and 60's music on my car radio.

Jackson Browne and Huey Lewis do it for me--no guilt involved

In the car only because my husband hates this type of music, but it's Nine Inch Nails (NIN) song "Closer", although I pretty much love all of their music.

Brand New Roller Skates is sung by Melanie. One of my favorites too. She is still around doing shows

David Essex Rock On

I'm really old(72) but I work out at the gym and walk 5-6 miles on the days I'm not at the gym. I need really bouncy music and Pandora gives me Bruno Mars, Pharell Williams, Megan Trainor, and so forth. I love working out to these artists and listen to them on my car radio as well. My new favorite is a remix of Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake singing " Love Never Felt So Good." I could listen to that and sing along all day long!

Eva Cassidy. Every song she sings. Many people will ask, "who are you listening to?" I share everything about her.

Neil Young. Harvest Moon.

Christina Aguilera. A lot of people like to hate on her, but nobody can sing better than her.

Of course Diana Krall. Sultry all over.

I'm with marilync. Give me my old country western music and some of the old rock n roll as well.

I'm with PKponder, that NIN song "Closer". Love it! I'm a huge fan of all the old 80s and 90s "hair band" rock music too!

"I do have a guilt feeling about a silly song from the '70's I think. One called "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates"...the next line is... and you've got a brand new key. (now, what is that supposed to mean) "

Roller skates years ago used to clamp onto the shoe - the key was used to tighten them up around the shoe. Why it was so cool (groovy, since it was the 70's?) for one person to have the skates and the other to have the key.... I have no idea.

I love many of the above, except for Miley Cyrus who makes my teeth hurt, but I'd also add Neil Diamond, Buddy Holly, Trini Lopez and...believe it or not...Al Jo.son!. LOL

Old Country. But no guilt or hiding it ever. I was 12 years old when Beatlemania hit. Everyone's transistor radios were tuned to the local rock and roll station. Mine was set on the local country music one. I never cared much what others thought. Still don't. I did listen to R&R and more, I had an eclectic taste in music, but country was my first and everlasting love.

@Gazania, the size of old timey roller skates that fit on the bottom of your street shoes was adjusted by a wrench-type tool known as a skate key. The song lyrics about skates and key mean that they belong together as a couple as one doesn't work without the other.

I'm not that old timey, but I had clamp on skates with a skate key. You could adjust the length as well as tightening the clamps. They only really worked well on saddle shoes, though, so when you outgrew the saddle shoes, you outgrew the skates anyway. :)

The top is a hex wrench, the slot is to put a ribbon through so you can hang it around your neck while you're skating (or run the ankle strap through, but that's really annoying), and the shaft is a square socket. There are many designs for skate keys, but this simple stamped out and bent one is the iconic 20th C. one.

Fun2BHere's explanation of the lyrics is wonderfully clean. :)

A few more guilty pleasure songs of the past are David Dundas Jeans On, Brewer and Shipley's goofy redo (and disrespectful to the origins, therefore very guilty pleasure) cover of Jim Pepper's Witchi-Tai-To, and Arlo Guthrie The Motorcycle Song. These are GUILTY pleasures. The ones you totally spaz out over but wouldn't play for others saying, "Listen to my favorite songs!"

At 62 I have a wide variety of music I enjoy. Pandora shuffles classical, grunge, classic rock, heavy metal and traditional Irish. My favorite pick-me-up for an almost 8-minute workout - Godsmack - Drum Duel: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+godsmack+drum+duel&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=9F258D09E3C116CD32609F258D09E3C116CD3260

LOL, folks, I am well aware of those iron roller skates and the key that adjusted them to our shoes. I probably wore out a few pair skating on the sidewalk of the little town where I grew up in the 50's.

I guess my statement "now what is that supposed to mean" was my poor attempt to say that in today's music, that would be an innuendo to something else.

pillog, we have an Arlo Guthrie cd with the Motorcycle song on it. Our favorite on that cd is Alice's Restaurant which is always played during Thanksgiving dinner at daughters house.

I think that key is an inuendo to something else just like "take the bloom off my wild Irish rose" is an inuendo. That's what music is all about. I love all kinds of music depending on my mood except for heavy metal and rap. That's why satellite radio is so nice. Lots of choices.

Well, Gazania, you're right. There is innuendo to be had in that lyric, but it's the same old wander in your garden type.

Alice is always on the radio here for Thanksgiving. Y'know, Arlo bought the church. You can visit: https://guthriecenter.org/about/

I have fairly eclectic taste in music, but as a general rule I find myself more drawn to music that works on more than one level, especially music in which you can hear the virtuosity of the performers. Either their skill on their respective instruments or in the voice of the vocalist, or in the poetic beauty of the lyrics. For my tastes much of the popular music spectrum fails at one or more of the above, and demonstrates instead the skill of the post-production crew in hiding the flaws of the performers who are often famous more for being pretty or sexy or dancing well.

Furthermore if a piece of music requires me to listen carefully to the lyrics to enjoy it, or even to differentiate it from other works within its genre, I'd rather have silence. To this includes pretty much everything that would be called "hip-hop" or "heavy metal" as well as much of the new pop-country and the old country music.

70's music. Dire Straits. Bon Jovi. The Monkees. The 60's (though a tad before my time) My son loves music from the 60's.

"I want it that way" by Backstreet Boys and ''Barbie Girl Song".

totally embarrassed. But I love those songs.

Bravo, Tribbrix! Those are proper guilty pleasure songs!

pllog....yup had the same rollerskates, but a slightly different key. Here's mine, I just had to go find it in my 'treasure box of useless stuff'. I got my first pair of skates around 1953, so that would make the key about 62 years old.

Justlinda, thanks for posting that! I've never seen that kind. It's an exact equivalent to the other. Most of the other skate keys I've seen are for different kinds of skates. The antique ones look more like winding keys and don't have the hex wrench (one infers that they pre-date length adjustment). Your key looks like a superior design. No knuckle scraping!

An old lady commenting here!

I enjoy hearing some of the 40's popular songs. And I recall how special it was to walk into a ballroom, nicely lighted, a band with men in suits, singer in a pretty dress. It was romantic to all of us; we were living through a war and it was an escape to happiness for a few hours.

20 yrs or so ago, for me, it was Barry Manilow.

Now, it's Lara Fabian, any of her music in any language.

"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. I like lots of different kinds of music. Except for Kelly Clarkson I rarely like the modern stuff (tells my age), but there's something about that song that gets my foot tapping and singing along.
