I wish iTunes had a "guilty pleasure" label that took songs out of rotation when the iPod is played on shuffle... No more Enya Keggers.

i like all these songs. i dont feel guilty about it. ill sing them with whoever around.

How is Journey a "guilty pleasure" when people burst into "Don't stop Believing" at the slightest provocation? It kinda felt like the list was targeted toward people in their 30-40's with the euro-pop, but then Psy kinda threw that out the widow. I don't think anyone listens to most of those songs willingly anymore.

Wow, a list of extremely successful international chart topping songs. So brave.

[u/TaytoCrisps]

Never once have I felt guilty for enjoying a song

[u/epik]

Never heard of #5 but hell yeah with all the rest.

Surprised What is Love was only an honorable mention.

Also, "SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOURE TO BLAME" should be there as well.

As well as Somebody I used to Know.

Ohhhh right in the nostalgia.

WatchMojo is the best YouTube channel. I could watch their lists for days.
