Some show tunes are belters. Probably cheating slightly given the artist.

Phil Collins has put out some incredible music in his time.

Seen them a few years ago in an open air concert. They were fantastic but they only played the one tune all night.

Best gig I've ever been to, for the sheer amazing spectacle of it all, was Take That on their Circus Tour. Proper jaw-droppingly good entertainment.

I also like Rudimental

Will occasionaly listen to U2. <Lister will probably mock me for qite some time now.>

I can agree. And also Phil Collins.

My daughter loves modern musicals. My Apple playlist includes songs from Kinky Boots, Wicked, Mean Girls.....

Mainly this but I do choose my moments very carefully when I chose to listen to any Nickelback. If you go past their commercial hits there's some good stuff there, it's mainly throwaway tunes but after seeing them live at a festival I rather enjoy some of it.

Taylor Swift, N-Dubz- both are guilty pleasures
Lana Del Ray is decent- no shame there!

Earth wind and fire always raise the mood for me.

Most who know me are quite surprised that I'm a big Tori Amos fan. Seen her live loads of times too.

Lana is great too, but she's also got enough melancholy to fit in with the rest of my music mix.

I took my Mum to see Status Quo in 1972. She liked "a good beat".

I love a bit of Dr Hook:-

Slyvias Mother, when you're in love with a beautiful woman, sexy eyes, the cover of Rolling Stone.... pure fantastic cheese

I don’t understand why liking Tori would be considered in any way a secret shame. She’s an extraordinary songwriter, and any woman who writes and records a song about being raped at gunpoint should be praised by everyone.

I can associate with this too - Never Again is a brilliant track, a colleague was in a band who opened their set with this.

The opposite of a guilty pleasure, surely?

Nothing says good taste and sophistication like a bit of Gilberto, Getz or Jobim.

A girl I was seeing at the time persuaded me to go and see Chris de Burgh live (this was the eighties). Lady in Red was as cringingly awful as I'd expected but the rest was surprisingly good fun.

His performance of Patricia the Stripper is still one of the best live things I've seen.

But probably not Only sixteen these days! 😀

My parents liked them, so I grew up with them in the background, and I caught them on a Whistle Test repeat a few months ago - they were very entertaining.

Another vote for Taylor Swift here - saw her live in 2018 - one of the best gigs i've even been to, and i'm no stranger to live music.

That Carley Rea Jepsen track.

Taylor Swift, Love Story, and the one with Ed Sheeran with the kids in the video.

Hopelessly devoted from Grease makes me cry.

Unashamedly Rick Astley! He won over the male audience 100% when we saw him at Thetford a few years ago!

Taylor Swift, Carley Rae Jepsen, Lana Del Rey - love all of those.

My fresh addition would be Five Finger Death Punch who are appalling and I suspect would overlap completely in a Venn diagram of them and Trump supporters, but they are great if you're in the mood.

Also I still listen to loads of emo and pop punk, Blink 182 and the Bloodhound Gang are probably the most embarrassing to admit to but I have a long list..

@Marin - that's one of my favourite tunes!! Nothing wrong with it!

My shame is that i listen to French bistro music when cooking!!

Fun and sunshine for everyone.

As said above, Taylor Swift is improving massively with age.
I do also listen to 'Into The Gap' by The Thompson Twins quite a lot although I'm not entirely sure if I should be ashamed of that?

Taylor Swift is a great songwriter and good musician too. No shame in listening to her. In fact Folklore is a brilliant album.

Cheesy metal is my secret sin as per the other thread (ManoWar, Twisted Sister, Helloween etc) stuff I would never admit to listening to if asked in person. It’s just so joyously bad and made better by the band members taking it really seriously.
