Oldie Japanese Idol singers I used to listen in my Jr. High days.

They are so corny, makes my spine shiver.

I still celebrate Prozzak's first album... the second album is a travesty.

And I am seriously reeling that nobody has said MY embarrassing song-

Brittany Spears - Toxic.

A Dutch band covered that song and it actually sounded pretty cool!
Wish I had an MP3 of it...but they only play it live and nobody has recorded it.

Oh, and I have a glaring weakness for the "Transformers: The Movie" Soundtrack.

Funnily enough, sometimes I play it at work and a customer will walk by and say "Whoa, that sounds pretty cool. What artist is this?"

:lol

The Stan Bush songs definitely rock.

No need to be ashamed of a little transformer love. C'mon, Lion's cover of the Transformer song was the perfect blend of 80s glam rock and my childhood memories that made sweet, sweet love.

And when I was 4 or so, You Got the Touch was my song!

I think I hate you... yeah... yeah, I do.
 
Geez, how could I forget that I like Linkin Park's first album and some of the songs on Meteora.

Oh shit...and that Chumbamumba song, Tubthumper (or some crap). I remember I bought that cd and was like "OMFG everything else sucks!"

Oh my god...now I can never again peacefully masturbate!

I'll always hear the song in the back of my head...relax.....don't do it......NOOOOOO :'(

Yeah, if you have ever seen the original video that was never shown in the US, you would never be able to hear that song again without cringing a little bit, fucking VH1. The last half of zoolander was doubly funny to me just because of the song.
 
I admit liking some of the mid-90's "dance" stuff like:

Spice Girls- "Wannabe" and "Spice up your Life".
Crazy Town- "Butterfly"
LaBouche- "Be My Lover"
Amber- "This is your nite"
Ace of Base too!
 
The Josie & The Pussycats soundtrack is nothing to be ashamed of liking. A lot of well-known musicians lent a hand in making it. From allmusic:

The original soundtrack to Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont's live-action, big-screen adaptation of Archie Comics' Josie & the Pussycats brings together the talents of, among others, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's, Counting Crows' Adam Duritz, Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley, and the production team of Babyface and his wife, Tracey Edmonds. Hanley provides the voice of Josie (played by Rachael Leigh Cook) on the Pussycats' ten songs, which include chugging, slightly punky power pop tunes like "3 Small Words" and "Spin Around." Meanwhile, Babyface's quintessentially smooth, polished sound comes to the front on "Backdoor Lover" and "Dujour Around the World," both by Du Jour, the film's boy band and the Pussycats' main competition for airplay on the radio and MTV. Impressively — though not really surprisingly, considering the talent involved — the soundtrack manages to pull off both the Pussycats' bouncy rock and Du Jour's pre-fab pop with equal amounts of authenticity and humor, making it the perfect complement to the film's witty and affectionate update of one of the cartoon world's first girl groups.

Also toss in Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and Matthew Sweet, and you have quite a powerful pop lineup there.

Let's see, Utada's Exodus is better than you would think, but it loses steam in the middle and I haven't had a chance to listen to the last couple of tracks. And "Easy Breezy" is a damned earworm.

Oh yeah, Spice Girls' "Two Become One" is really good.
 
A heck of a lot of 80s synth pop. These days I sort of have an excuse to listen to it, although the excuse might be even more embarrassing than what it's excusing.

Kremlin Dusk and Let Me Give You My Love are the two best on the album, so be sure you reach them eventually.
 
Spice Girls - 2 become 1 . Though I haven't heard it for a long time now.

Other music that, while I'm not ashamed of it at all, a lot people think I'm weird for liking is some 80s synth stuff and very poppy music like the Beach Boys.
