> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Honey \* > \*\*Oasis - Wonderwall > Cranberries - Linger > LuLu - To Sir With Love > Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly > Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 \*\* How is this a guilty pleasure! Linger is one of my favourite songs, Wonderwall will go down in history, the and Smashing Pumpkins are legendary. If you consider this to be bad i shudder to ask what you think is good! On to my guilty music pleasures…Ive already been beaten to Ace of Base “the sign” and Bonnie Tylers Total Eclipse of the heart (I thought I was the only one, I love that song!) But to add to my list…and things admitted stay within these message boards! Backstreet boys…I need you tonight Britney Spears…Oops I did it again Many people would think my Cyndi Lauper obsession should be admitted to this And lastly the entire Priscilla soundtrack. Well except for the Goa West song…that song never quite captured me Off to go hang my head in shame… ---

Bananarama, Bananarama!!! I worship those godlike babes and their spikey highlighted hair. Secretly, by myself in the dark. Don’t tell my friends. They’ll kick me out of the band. ---

Almost any song by Air Supply. (I find them great, but there’s some that might consider them cheesy. I think it’s that they just haven’t yet experienced the greatness of Air Supply.) New Kids on the Block – Please Don’t Go Girl (Yes, I still love that one song and listen to it when I can. _sob_) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/musical-guilty-pleasures-cheesy-or-uncool-but-you-love-them-anyway/163049.md?page=4)
