Along the Bon Jovi line....how about most of that "Hair Band" music from the 80's. I don't get to hear it much, but I still like most of that stuff.

OK, I've got another (I think):
Notting Hill.
I am sure that it's a "pleasure", but I'm not sure if it's a "guilty" one or not. At first glance, it's all chick-movie. A love story with High Grant?
But taking it further, what guy has not had the fantasy to be with a beautiful movie star? And, like Buffy, I have to say that the character development is first-rate. I love the whole scene at his sister's for dinner. So, despite the obligatory "walking through the city with the sad music bed after being rejected scene", I think the movie is a pleasure. Excellent soundtrack, too, and good location scenes.
Guilty? I dunno... maybe if someone else admitted to liking it I'd feel less guilty!

Rock You like a Hurricane would fall firmly into that category... whatever the song's real name is.
Just listen to any Rock station from Clear Channel's lineup; you'll hear it. The example in the Bay Area is The Bone 107.7.
You'll hear it over and over and over and over and over again! Often at exactly the same times on the same days. I got really sick of John Lee Hooker that way. 'Course, I wasn't really a fan to start out, but...

Yeah, I liked that one. Romantic comedies.... especially with Hugh Grant and/or Julia Roberts. That's definitely a guilty pleasure for me. Love...Actually was also great.

Whew. Thanks Ken. I felt I was opening myself up to ridicule by posting the Notting Hill "pleasure". I guess I would have received less teasing if I had bothered to mention that Julia Roberts is opposite Hugh Grant!
At least now, you might get 50% of the teasing I would have received!

I knew that would get your attention .
I'll be honest, I like Mariah Carey (her older stuff. There I did it.
I also watch Ren and Stimpy, SpongeBob Squarepants and Beavis & Butthead all of which are a total waste of time.

I like all those "chick" movies. I have a strong feminine side (NO CRACKS!), of which I've become very proud. Love, Actually; Notting Hill; Shakespeare In Love; and from the long ago past Random Harvest. Shoot I just like a good love story.
I gotta admit I was not an ABBA fan, but I certainly respect their success. I should have such a successful musical career. Sheesh! Unlike a William Hung or Tiny Tim, whose success is based on novelty, ABBA's was based on talent, as was The Carpenters.
