I dont give a fuck about what people think of me,I listen to who I like! But to answer your question,Micheal Jackson.
Not a lot of 15 year old kids in the Netherlands listen to him.

There's nothing guilty about anything I like.
Hillary Duff's "Wake Up" is an awesome pop song. I have it proudly between Henry Rollins and The Hives on my Itunes playlist.

You ever play Rock Band 2? You know that song "That's What You Get" by Paramore? Yeah, that's the one. You love it.

Oh, and that Evan Brass song about Giant Bomb is the catchiest.

As soon at you start feeling guilty about the music you enjoy, you are an elitist prick. You can't help how your audio aesthetics swing. My friends all laughed at me for liking Pendulum, because apparently that's not "real" drum and bass. They aren't my friends any more.

Most of the songs on my iPhone are guilty pleasures, in the sense that in the mean streets of Newcastle you're likely to get beaten up listening to 80s adult contemporary.

Toto, Brian Adams, some mid-80s Judas Priest (Turbo - Ram it Down era kind of stuff) also Billy Idol.

Who said you need good taste?

The Black Eyed Peas, Hollywood Undead, Killswitch Engaged, and Tegan & Sara (weird genre straddling, yeah) are the only bands on my artists list that I would feel slightly weird about if someone came up to me and was like "HEY WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO HUH CAN I STEAL YOUR IPOD WHILE YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU FELL ASLEEP IN STUDY HALL OH LOOK YOU'RE LISTENING TO CANADIAN LESBIANS WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"

Everyone loves that song. I mean Leonard Cohen is an amazing poet, but Jeff Buckley's voice lends itself to the song better.

Well, since the 80s I've had a love of bubblegum pop songs by female artists which I'd consider a guilty pleasure.  Everything from Expose's Come Go with Me to Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head to Christina Aguilera's Candyman.  And while some of that may be excusable, I'm not sure about my owning a few Lindsay Lohan singles, Hilary Duff songs and Ashley Tisdale Radio-Disney hits.  And while I am damning myself I might as well admit to having seen every episode of Demi Lovato's TV show and really liking her music.  Selena Gomez may be her friend but she's got nothing on Demi's vocal talents. She reminds me of Ann Wilson of Heart.

Eminem is a big one for me. I think he's a really talented rapper, it just doesn't feel right listening to him as a white suburban kid. I mean, I just feel like a wigger.

@Everyones_A_Critic:

Early Eminem or late Eminem? Anything past Marshall Mathers LP does not exist as far as I'm concerned.

Both. Up until a little while ago, I had only heard his hits. I downloaded Curtain Call: The Hits last night and I love almost every song on it. I've really warmed up to rap because of him, as I feel there are a lot of great stories that have been told through that medium. I still love metal and rock and such, but I have a higher level of respect for hip-hop now. I also got Straight Outta Compton and am loving that too. I'll be delving deeper in Eminem's other material in the coming days of course, probably saving Relapse for last, as the singles I've heard thus far don't sound too good.
