Agreed. "The Climb" isn't awful either.

Shinedown, though Brent Smith can sing his fucking ass off

My 9yo daughter has been rocking out to both Taylor Swift's "Never Getting Back Together" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". I haven't actually minded this at all.

I occassionally put Kermit the Frog's Rainbow Connection on mixtapes and actively argue the song's awesomeness with any who raise an eyebrow (and there are always those that do).

And CW McCall's Convoy is just awesome in every way. So there.

Nonsense. That's an absolutely fantastic song written by the great Paul Williams. No one should ever feel guilty about liking it, it's amazing.

Yea - Rainbow Connection is a classic. Its beautiful and fantastic. How could that ever be a guilty pleasure?

also, I love Willie Nelsons recording of it.

For real.

I also am one who doesn't believe in "guilty" pleasures as far as music goes, a song is either good or not (imo of course). I put this here as I have often found myself having to defend it. I am very well aware that says far more about my audience's poor taste than mine.

I pretty much follow theplatypus's first point. I listen to a lot of music I know is pretty bad and hard to relate to, but I will never deny enjoying it. I just won't include it in a playlist or play it in company I know won't draw anything from it.

Pink has a fantastic singing voice.

Paula Abdul "Straight Up"

Gorillaz is one of my favorite groups, and Damon Albarn do some fantastic and creative composition with that shit.

Hopefully this will be on the next Varis mixed tape.

I like everything Blink 182. Side projects, whatever. I can't shake it. They were my first love.

I like all of the Offspring before Splinter.
