A guilty pleasure is defined as: “Something, such as a movie, television program, or piece of music, that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not generally held in high regard.”
So, when it comes to music from the 80′s, it’s considered to be songs that we all love singing along to, but didn’t necessarily get the respect they deserve. Ultimate Classic Rock came up with a list of 20 of those songs and here they are:
1. “Africa” by Toto

12. “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John
