Are you absolutely sure about that?

Sorry people, I am the most guilty here. And It's not the worst guilty pleasure of mine!

All of those are cool-in a way. Mine are so lame that that travel in a Hoveraround.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thanks for posting this!

My guilty pleasures include, but aren't limited to, the following:

Oh, you Eighties... How did the world ever make it through your silliness?

EDIT: I should also mention that I genuinely think both George Michael and Limahl are excellent vocalists, and I'm a fan of George's post-Wham! catalog. Furthermore, Kajagoogoo gave a great live performance in the Hammersmith Odeon back in '83 (which can also be found in full on Youtube).

GWAR is a pretty guilty pleasure-not Mambo No.5 guilty, but pretty guilty.

Hey! "I Ran" is a classic!

So is "The Safety Dance"! Though I guess I could see why that might be seen as a "guilty" pleasure.

I don't truly feel that guilty about a lot of music I like, but here's some that I wouldn't be eager to loudly proclaim my love for with everyone I meet. And yeah, my list is probably the most "uncool" so far. You've been warned!

Village People - YMCA, Macho Man, In The Navy, Go West, etc.
Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There, Stop!
Hanson - MMMBop, Where's The Love?
Los Del Rio - Macarena
Lou Bega - Mambo #5
90's dance music in general
Far East Movement - Like A G6
Air Supply - Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
TLC - No Scrubs (this one I do feel guilty about because I hate the sentiment of the lyrics)

I guess you could throw "Weird Al" Yankovic in there too, though I think he's fairly well respected, and deservedly so. I'll also second the love for "Kenya" (and a lot of the other Weebl songs). And I guess some would try to make me feel guilty for being a guy and liking musicals, or being an adult and still occasionally enjoying music from Sesame Street and Mister Rogers, but whatever.

These two songs are on my mix-CDs of all-time favourites (!)

I have no shame in liking Say You'll be There!

I can get how you'd be opposed to the lyrical content of No Scrubs though.

'living home with your mama, don't have a car and you're walking...' Yeah, me and a lot of my geekier friends would fit that description of a scrub... but Left Eye is on fire in her verse! At least if you listen to that version! It's the only version that counts!

Just because they're famous doesn't mean they're anything remotely resembling "good" lol, but I like them just the same!
