yes, Bon Jovi is a guilty pleasure of mine as well. But the one song that embedded itself in my cortex was 'Living on Prayer'. Almost impossible for me not to kick in along to the opening lyrics when I hear this one, with empassioned facial expressions to boot.

i subconsciously know the lyrics to the entire "open up and say ahh" album. I almost bought the tape the other day at real groovy for 5 bucks.

I had the "Australasian Tour Edition" of "Open Up and Say Ahhh" on tape. This meant that the tape case was printed with yellow and green ink (y'know, like everything in Australia is), and inside were some special "collector cards" showing each of Poison doing various rock things. I think Rikki Rocket was in a bubble bath and there was a woman with long legs standing astride above him.

Damn, I loved that album when I was 14.

the high school i went to had a special dance made up for come on eileen (cheesy and all as it was) so that will always have a somewhat weird yet special place in my heart! ha ha

The lack of Playschool on our television is creating a giant gap in the quality education and entertainment of our society!!

BRING BACK PLAYSCHOOL (hey even repeat the old skool episodes if neccesary!!)

the 'cant get you otta my head' song by kylie.
its got the stinkiest groove

pure class
that was my song of the year

oh yeah -- over-produced american hip-hop. love it.

aaliyah - try again
missy elliot - get yr freak on
destiny's child - bootylicious (all time fave)
eminem & dr dre - forgot about dre
outkast - bombs over baghdad

kylie is bringing cred back to pop. I quite like all of her new songs so far.
*ducks and covers*

Who can forget Kylies duet with Jason Donovan? Especially For you. Magic.

Liking that duet of Jason and Kylie's is definately an all time shame of mine!
As much as I hate to admit it, Kylie's most recent stuff, hasn't been all that bad......!?!?!?!?!?!

the 80's pop stuff is the source of most of my guilty pleasures as well. Must have somethin to do with the sponge like properties of the brain while growing up.

Since everyone has been sharing, here's another one of mine:
'One Night in Bangkok' - Murry Head.
reason - I don't know, god help me, I don't know.

;)

Kim Wilde's another I'd add - not just Kids in America, also Cambodia. And how could I have left off the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star". As for Cyndi - the odd thing is I never really appreciated her when she came out, but I put on her record a while ago, dunno why really, and liked what I heard, a lot.

As for another guilty pleasure - this one's not mine, but I was talking to a guy the other night - he was telling me that he'd been told, in all seriousness, that the Barron Knights made the best ever record. Anyone here willing to put their hands up to that?

Tiffany was cool......then I recently seen what she had done for playboy (!) I still think that her music was cool thoigh.

just the cover, or the actual songs...?
ah yes, I remember the song that burnt its imprint on the populous:

"whoa oh oh -- totally crazy
forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild
yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action
feel the attraction
Color my hair
do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free
yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!"

"Colour my hair - do what I dare": Shania, living on the edge. And my favourite couple of lines...

"The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun"

"Prerogative"! In a song! Brilliant! She's up there with K'Lee (crunk!) for songs about loose living that use great language. Rock on...

now that you mention it...
yes. quite liked it too. yet another guilty song pleasure.

perhaps another thread ... "unwieldly words in songs?"

we built this city - now that brings a smile to my face!

I am of the opinion that Queen's "A Night At The Opera" is one of the best albums of the 70s.
