You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
People try to make me feel guilty for these, but I refuse.
Lady Gaga- all of her stuff. It is fun and I like her style.
The Who- It's Hard. Yep, Keith Moon is not on it. Yep, it is different sounding. I don't care, every song is brilliant on the album and it has the added bonus of a lot of John Entwistle tunes.
Adam & The Ants- First 3 albums. See the reasoning for Lady Gaga above.
Robert Plant- Shaken & Stirred. A really strange and pop album for Plant, but I'll be damned if Robbie Blunt doesn't kick total ass on it. Not to mention Ritchie Hayward's drumming!
Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack
With you lot probably my Coldplay albums.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I actually think that's a really good album. There's one or two not-so-good Townshend songs (cough cough Athena, which is more interesting for the story about who the song was originally about then the actual song itself), but most of the record I rather like. It's no The Who Sell Out or The Who By Numbers, but for a band that was that far into their career, having just lost a key band member a couple years earlier, and were presumably already thinking of breaking up, it's not a bad record.
There's only three Adam & The Ants albums. I've never actually heard the first one, so I don't know the music too well on that one. But I dug the quasi-tribal drums and Marco Pirroni's spaghetti western/spy movie guitar licks on the second and third records.
Giorgio Morodor's soundtrack to Midnight Express. And some other stuff he's produced, like Donna Summer and his Sparks albums. I actually do hate the fact I like that stuff
A lot of Giorgio's work is truly garbage but a lot of it is cool.
The Cowsills-Best of the Cowsills
When I listen to music, it is my primary activity.
Therefore, I only listen to things I really care about. No time to waste on guilty pleasures.
But every once in a while, when I am on the computer, I will watch a few clips of 60's psychedelic pop, like: The Small Faces, The Lemon Pipers, The Electric Prunes, etc.
What the hell... it's fun.
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
Yeah, I'm not going to seek out a "guilty pleasure" for active listening. It's more of a, when it comes on the radio I won't change the station, kind of thing. Or if someone else in the car wants to hear it I won't veto.
Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends
Oooh, and speaking of recent featured albums- Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds
I was going to say that I don't have any, but then I saw some Mother Focus hate over in the Myths thread and figured I'd throw that in.
I figure prog itself is a "guilty pleasure," since most people seem to turn their noses up at it.
I listen to what I like and don't really care what anyone thinks, and my tastes are all over the place, without regard to genre. Maybe my whole music library is a guilty pleasure.
That said, I doubt that most people here would dig Sarah McLachlan, Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Sugarland/Jennifer Nettles, Dixie Chicks/Natalie Maines/Court Yard Hounds, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance.

Many a neo prog album (Yes, I'm serious. )

'The smell of strange colours are heard everywhere'- Threshold
there is no such thing.
ok … “isolation” by TOTO.
The Kelly Clarkson albums - I love her voice and who knows? Maybe she'll do a prog album one day..... Not crazy 'bout the first one but the next 3 I really, really like.
