Anything by the Carpenters
A once in a generation voice of pure velvety chocolate. No shame there.
A song called Krustenficker. I really like the beat but I can't hear it with my kids in range for eh. textual reasons, since they do speak german ..
A bunch of anime music.
Among many, The Kingdom by Clamavi De Profundis (to be found on Tidal, Spotify, Youtube).
Anything from Epic Rap Battles of History. While I love them, I do understand others do not.
Dude, they're the best! The beats, the weirdly awesome announcer voice, the music videos with way too much production budget somehow, and (mostly) historically accurate raps!
But yes, most people I want to show them to would immediately shut it off and shout "language!" Like Captain America.
I remember being enamoured by the backgrounds on the James Bond vs Austin Powers when I got my first phone with an amoled display. That and they were the jumping off point for so much learning for me!
This Suno-generated abomination, along with several more bass heavy songs I asked it to put together for fun.

I think this is the ideal use of AI, the dumb stuff that would be expensive to convince someone to sit down and create.
While You Sleep - The Bamboo's
It captures a mood and moment that I can't describe all that well, but that I can imagine crystal clear.
I came here to say Fuck You
(the song by Lilly Allen, not actually to you...)
Not really embarassed, just aware that most people in my RL social circles would not enjoy at all.
Ozar Midrashim - Information Society (aka Kain's Theme from Soul Reaver)
There's nothing I listen to regularly that I'd be too embarrassed to make other people listen to. OTOH, I know that a lot of people won't like the music I listen to, so I usually just wear headphones.
The closest I have to a 'guilty pleasure' is HIM; the lyrics are pure goth-emo trash, but Vallo does some really good wordplay, has a very good range (...in the studio; he doesn't sound nearly as good live), and the music has tons of pop-metal hooks.
Performed by Jason Paige, his passion really brings it to this song. Edit: Song - Pokemon Theme Song (original)
"I Got a Feeling" by Neva Denova. It's not a famous band or song, but its so incredibly sad and angry and nihilistic and there's nothing else that comes close. When I'm feeling really shitty though, it kind of cheers me up. It has this long sing-along outro, "The world's a shitty place, and I can't wait to die." But after repeating this over and over the song ends and someone in the background says affectionately, "I'm just kidding world, you know I love you." I've struggled with intrusive negative thoughts for most of my life, and there is something cathartic about having my internal pain externalized in song-form, and that final line is like a voice I've had to develop that fights against all the negativity, to like survive the worst of the blackest depressions. Except instead of taking no small amount of energy to consciously or automatically summon that voice, it comes easy; it's right on the recording, and it plays every time.
I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed to tell people about the song, but I do think people would worry about me if they knew I listened to it when at my worst. But it really makes me feel like, "well at least I'm not that depressed and nihilistic," and it helps.
I'm a big fan of the Tiger Lillies, partly because they are so transgressive and weird, and in 2024 it's quite hard to justify to anyone why you're listening to a man with a child's voice yell "I like sticking red hot pokers up the local choir boy's bums..." in a song called Kick A Baby (Down the Stairs)
WAP and Big Energy.
I'm surprised there's no kpop here
Girls Generation was always my guilty pleasure from back when kpop was first starting to blow up in the West.
I love the song "Hard to concentrate" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, BUT try showing this to someone your romantically interested in or even not and it can come off like you're throwing serious hints. Maybe even in an overbearing way, when really, I just friggin like the song!
Edit: there's also this one that's catchy and good. NSFW though: https://youtu.be/_wlDCosZ8mg?si=ToWFLPZdXJ9UYX0q
Pretty much anything by Kesha. I'm known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile... Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.
Just make sure you listen to her new stuff, she gets nothing from the old stuff, I think.
New stuff is wild though, she certainly aged alongside me and I'm hear for it.
Erasure - Always. Perhaps I'm mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can't help it.
ROBOT UNICORN ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK
I think that was the first endless runner that I've played. It all felt so stupid, but so sublime
Adult swim mobile games were so fun!
I think everyone on 4chan was in love with that song when the flash game was hot, myself included.
And me. (I was often in 4chan back then) Still, the song is still stuck in my head, after all those years.
I'm so ronrey

I think this song is really good but it doesn't at all fit my friends vibe so I don't share it.
It gets better by the same artist is also really good.
