SHREM'S LIST OBSESSION: Top 10 Guilty Pleasure Acts

I thought it'd be quite funny to kick in my brand new thread which will look at my personal top 10 lists in different categories, genres, styles, decades etc. with a list of top 10 so called Guilty Pleasure acts you could find among my music library at home. This is a massive kitsch overdose of the best of apparently the worst music acts which I have completely fallen for all through the years. This is about unveiling the tackiest side of my collections. I do love a bit of kitsch me...
