Sorry, but I can't help but smile at Gangnam Style and that goofy dance.

Get back up compadre, I still do! Also have The Monkees stuff.

I don't know if these people fit the bill though. I mean Starbuck - a lot of people liked that song. And The Monkees, well also a lot of people liked them also. And who can deny David Cassidy and "Rock Me Baby"!.

Lots of softer music not appropriate to an aspiring rock guitarist.
The Carpenters, Bread, James Taylor, the Bee Gees etc. and so on.
 

I liked some of them.  Bee Gees were pre-disco, right? 
Add Dan Fogleberg. 

My parents had a 78 of Dale Evans we used to play on our Sears portable turntable:

The Crow - Hard rocking band that gave the image that they were bikers, and had a hit in the midwest with "Evil Woman". The whole album was actually very good, but it was the only album of theirs that was well done.

Allright, Moshkiae. I was a big Crow fan (living here in the midwest). I don't know how far geographically their popularity encompassed. I use to see them at Dex Card's "Wild Goose", which was a weekly rock concert held at the local YMCA. Great band, although I don't consider them a 'guilty pleasure'. Me and my friends were proud to be Crow fans.
 
Maybe you know about Mason Profit? Another great midwestern band. I still listen to them today since they re-issued their albums on CD.

 
To be honest, I've never really understood the term 'guilty pleasure'.
 
I don't have anything in my music collection I feel 'guilty' about.
 
I suppose that I've acquired a few albums and singles along the way I might be slightly 'embarrassed' or mildly 'ashamed' about owning, if that's what you're after Jan.
 
 

I felt guilty back when I was a DJ having to play disco while, at the same time, I was in a rock band...  '80 thru '83, a confusing time.
