All Guilty Pleasures, All The Time

We’ve all got guilty pleasures*. We’re all a little nostalgic for the cheesy songs we liked in middle school**. We all liked Billy Joel at some point***. We all know every word to Lisa Loeb’s “Stay”****. We all listen to soft-rock radio when we’re alone in the car at night*****. We all go to Mandy Moore chat rooms with screen names like “PopPr!ncess1982” and sleep in oversized Tim McGraw T-shirts*****. Right?

I enlisted the help of the Paste staff on this one******. Enjoy this list of our guilty pleasure songs.

And rest assured that we’re not playing the irony card here (The Spin Doctors are such tools, they’ve circled lame and they’re cool again!). We genuinely like these songs, and we do feel mildly embarrassed about it*******. Add your own and make fun of ours in the comments section!

Vulnerable********,

Kate (and the rest of the Paste family*********)
