Name Up To 10 Pop Songs You Like That Are Guilty Pleasures

List up to 10 pop or pop/rock songs that you really like.  NO METAL.

It doesn't matter if some or all would be sneered at or ridiculed, these are your own tastes and who cares if no one else agrees.  

Old, modern, it's all good.  My motto is, a good song is a good song.

If there are more than 10, feel free to post another batch. 

Just off the top of your head, don't agonize over it.  You can always post another batch later.


Here's some of mine:

1.  Stevie Nicks - Stand Back
2.  Bananarama - Cruel Summer 
3.  OneRepublic - Counting Stars  (The Choir covered this one so they must like it too)
4.  Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body
5.  Ellie Goulding - Lights
6.  Backstreet Boys - Larger Than Life
7.  Michelle Branch - Everywhere
8.  Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train To Georgia
9.  Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton - Big Yellow Taxi  (Joni Mitchell cover)
10. Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

Well, if you don't care if anyone agrees or disagrees, why call it a "guilty" pleasure? I'll have to see how far I can come, but I won't limit myself to the English language. I'll try to stay as far away as possible from metal by avoiding AOR as well.

Anyway, in no particular order:

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Atomic Kitten - Tide Is High
Santiano - Es Gibt Nur Wasser
Axel Bauer - Personne n'est Parfait
Boney M - Daddy Cool
Tom Petty - Running Down A Dream

Probably a lot more but I wouldn't know who the artist is.

Tom Petty - Learning to fly and Into the Great Wide Open, both bring a tear to my eye. Not sure why tho.

That was half click-bait on my part, I wanted to get people to participate.
That said, you can not care while at the same time know that your choices can expose you to derision or ridicule.  
The 2 are not mutually exclusive, lol.  

I still don't care if people don't like my choices though, obviously if you look at some of them.
