I know deep down that I shouldn't like "I Should Be So Lucky" by Kylie Minogue so much but it's just come on the radio and I've found myself dancing around to it. "Reach" by S Club 7 is another.

Maybe I'm just uncool.

What's your favourite?

Though, it has to be said, that I was a right muso wanker in my late teens and 'bad' music I didn't like could almost bring me to tears. This was essentially anything that wasn't the blues, 60s/70s soul, serious indie shit or, for light relief, the Happy Mondays.

These days - I hardly discriminate at all, so I may not be the best judge.

'Yes sir, I can boogie' by Baccara.

Annies song by John Denver :-D

....I'll get my coat...

'Lipstick' by Jedward. I'm not ashamed though, it's a great pop song (as are most of their songs).

I love anything by Mariah Carey from the 90's. Obviously I hide this fact from the rest of humanity but in the car on my own I howl like a rabid monkey at her albums. In summer I've been known to bring shame on my whole family with my open-window rendition of One Sweet Day.

MrsMattBomer · 23/12/2016 12:34

Hero by Enrique Iglesias is my go-to "Let's embarrass the kids in the car" song. I'm sorry but it's brilliant and Enrique is still sex-on-legs.

I wonder why by Curtis Stigers Blush

Dapplegrey1 · 23/12/2016 12:37

Schubert's Wedding Feast - because I like joining in the Gsch Gsch prrr prrr sounds. Only on my own, obviously!

So many people on this thread mentioning awesome power ballads which are only enjoyed in the privacy of their cars. If I listened to Don't stop me now or living on a prayer in the car I would be a) speeding. b) driving with my eyes closed c) crashing.

Rasputin by Boney M

How is that a guilty pleasure?! Xmas Shock Boney M are awesome!!

Someone will be saying 'Fire' by Arthur Brown next......

Genuinely don't understand why GnR or Rainbow would ever be 'guilty pleasure' songs. I quite like 'History' by 1D despite being a rock/metal fan but I'm not particularly bothered. I listen to loads of big haired glam metal music too without any guilt whatsoever.

ohmygodyouguys · 23/12/2016 13:26

Most Steps songs. DH knows I was a huge fan. Still am truth be told but if I tried to listen to them in the car the CD would get chucked out the window.

Cagliostro · 23/12/2016 13:29

Rescue Me by Ultra. Pure cheese and one of the first singles I bought as a teen.

MrsJayy · 23/12/2016 13:29

Went to Steps reunion tour it was brilliant claire from steps wore a ball gown Grin

MrsMattBomer · 23/12/2016 13:58

I hate the fact that I quite like One Direction and fancy Harry Styles a bit. I know I shouldn't, seeing as I'm old enough to be his mum, but still.

Agree on Boney M being amazing. It's the fact that I quite like Bucks Fizz that I can't get over!

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ

Not normally my sort of thing at all - I was out with my sister, and (rather drunkenly) got up with her to dance to it - she was so amazed that she sent me the CD as a gift afterwards.

Liiinoo · 23/12/2016 14:04

Living on a Prayer and anything Jimmy Somerville sings are total classics and nothing to feel guilty about.

My favourite guilty pleasure OTOH is Don't Stop Movin by S Club 7, and I can only reveal it behind my MN cloak of anonymity.

MrsMattBomer · 23/12/2016 14:39

I'm going to introduce you all to the most cheesetastic guilty pleasure song ever:

If you're of a certain age you may remember doing the Slosh to this...

I have so very many
But "Guilty" by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb, Vanessa Paradis' "Joe le Taxi, and SisQ's "Thong Song" are probably the best/worst.
