From Status Quo to S Club 7, here are the musical "guilty pleasures" it's OK to love.
Q magazine has named the 50 records we are too embarrassed to admit that we own.
The top 10 includes Rebel Yell by Billy Idol, Rock'n'Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter and Whatever You Want by Status Quo.
Barbra Streisand epic Woman In Love, Devil Woman by Sir Cliff Richard and I Could Be So Good For You by Minder star Dennis Waterman also make the list.
Top spot goes to the Electric Light Orchestra with

their 1976 hit Livin' Thing.
"From the gloriously bonkers introduction to its flamenco guitar, it remains ever wonderful to the ear.
"ELO may never be fashionable but, in terms of sheer aural elation, this betters more revered bands' entire back catalogues," according to Q.
More Than A Feeling by Boston is second, followed by S Club 7.
Also hiding away in the top 50 are Ronan Keating's Life Is A Rollercoaster, Letter From America by The Proclaimers and Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin.

| i haven't got any of those - but I will admit to being a bit of a closet Quo fan - I saw them live at Wembley Stadium and they really know how to work a crowd (even if the crowd in question is a little high at the time!)
