Good Morning USA!
I guess you mean guilty by the standards of this board ???
I have many. I'll start with Sarah Brightman, Enya, Coldplay, U2, 50's & 60's love ballads, 80's hair bands, Frank Sinatra's early years, depeche mode, Bee-Gees, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Phil Collins, & the great Percy Faith. I listen to all of them often.
I also watch tons of TV musicals from the 30's & early 40's & enjoy the music. I like grand orchestra productions. Also anything from Marilyn Monroe. What a babe she was.
And the Phantom of the Opera, which I'll be seeing again in the near future !
If I had to pick one I'd say Sarah Brightman. Nobody in the world can reach those levels vocally.

Man! Depeche Mode are the godfathers of electronic music (except if you count Kraftwerk). I am actually a DM fan and have been ever since People are People. They have been able to survive through the 80's and 90's in a way few other bands have, always remaining pertinent in their scene. Nothing to be ashamed of my friend!Lietuvis said:

Nothing wrong with Sarah Brightman (I actually had a massive thing for her when I was youngeropeth8 said:
... though the Cats thing scares the hell out of me!) Eden actually has some great moments in it. I sometimes wish I still had it.Guilty pleasures: (these are probably gonna be some of the worst yet)
Marilyn Manson (used to be really into his stuff years ago. Still quite like parts of Mechanical Animals and the songs Long Hard Road Out Of Hell, The Nobodies, I Put A Spell On You and a few tracks from 'Portrait ...')
Stratovarius (not so much anymore, but I do still enjoy Dreamspace and Episode)
Wednesday 13 (er, not really, though occasionally I Walked With A Zombie doesn't annoy me. Haven't heard much else though)
Bands I'm not at all ashamed to admit I like but have been told I should be:
WASP
Cinderella
Yngwie Malmsteen
Tubbs
Bi-weekly top album:
Why is it a guilty pleasure to like Yngwie Malmsteen and especially Symphony X? I really don't know anyone who would make fun of someone for liking them.

Every time i mention that I like Yngwie Malmsteen someone laughs (actually - most people do). Its because alot of his mid-late 90's stuff like Magnum Opus & War To End All Wars is pretty crap, and Im a huge fan admitting that. But im still proud to be a fan, I just brought him up cos I knew most people would find it funny.

you may like With Honor's first 3 releases (by that i mean their first album 'Heart Means Everything, their self-titled EP, and Thier split with a band called the distance)...
dunno if youd like their new album though...it's ok...but nothing compared to the first album and that split.
"Rethink, Return" and "Pipe Dream" are awesome tracks.
I have plenty of bands for that style.
I'm big into hardcore myself.
but i have no guilty pleasures in music....as someone said...i like it, i listen to it...

Yngwie is not funny to me, he's just über.
