(though vastly improved by being sung in the shower in the swedish chef voice.)
i'm trying to think what my guilty pleasures are, but i will admit to listening to just about anything. will have a think (and a look through my cd collection) and let you know if there's anything i'm TRULY ashamed of.

49. But I could not include the K Shaker album in the pile, I could not part with it even as I was callously dishing away da masterwerk dat wuzSheryl Crowe - I still kept it MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! (I did include Definitely Maybe in there though, heh). At least they got the Krishna cover artwork right (but they got the Indian spelling wrong; the name of the "emperor" they referenced would be written Shekhar, and the final "a" is silent after Kul, as in most Indian names). Like someone else on here recently said (was it masonicboom?)- Crispian Mills - he's what's for breakfast!!

But the only song I would honestly call a "guilty pleasure" is that new Justin Timberlake song. Even though I know fully well that it is total shite, I simply canNOT keep my body from moving whenever it's on.

However, I often find myself listening to songs that I cannot stand. It's not because I secretly find them attractive; it's the same instinct that causes most people to slow down as they drive past car wrecks. Morbid curiosity. And, it's actually sort of nice when something really rubs me the wrong way (lately it's that John Mayer fellow); I'm reminded that I have taste, and am not just a sponge.
I can't imagine why Missy Elliott would induce feelings of guilt. It's all very wonderfully wry and self-conscious. Something like Nelly and Kelly would seem more likely to induce blushing.

Music I can recognise as a bit crap and still like, i.e. my REAL guilty pleasures...well, Be Here Now can stay, obviously, but I'd add to them Primal Scream (XTRMNTR, Come Together and Burning Wheel mostly), the occasional Belle And Sebastian track, Black Ghost (a song by G*Y D*D), a (very) small percentage of Sigur Ros, and Talk Talk.
There, now you have my REAL, heartfelt answer to the question, not the bullshitty tastemaker fascist-state one.

yeah
but there is SOME truth to that, at least when it comes to me. i mean the thing is, the juxtaposition of prog and uber pop is inherently kind of ironic
i tend to kitschify pop songs that i like. i mean i think with "since u been gone", kelly clarkson proved that even mainstream pop can hold its own w/ the too cool for schoolers, because mainstream can be viewed as its own brand of indie. it's like, cheesy indie.
