The one album I keep in my library that never makes it onto a playlist, because nothing I regularly listen to is similar to it.
 
I still have a soft spot for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, as well as the Ozzfest 2001 live album. QotD was a shit movie, and Nu-Metal is just silly, but those two albums were the soundtrack to my life back then. Still pop them in occasionally when I get to feeling nostalgic.

Similarly I love the 1997 Godzilla film sountrack. An exclusive RATM track, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Ben Folds 5, a weird remix of Green Day's "Brain Stew" with Godzilla noises, and of course this eternal monument to what we thought was good in the 90s:


(Bonus fact that I didn't learn until relatively recently, RATM's Tom Morello produced and played bass on "Come With Me" making it somehow even more 90s.)
 
Morbid Angel's Illud Divinum Insanus. The album is a piece of shit where David Vincent put in the industrial metal stylings he would do following his first run in Morbid Angel that doesn't belong in death metal, plus the extra pile of dogshit that is the song Radikult, but for some baffling reason I love this album.

Hair metal as a whole.

Amen to that. Hair metal was actually good, it was fun and wasn't pretentious. Yeah, it may not have been as good as other metal subgenres, but it was decent and fun in its own right and wasn't anywhere near as pretentious and awful as punk (some of the early goth stuff from the 80's being the exception to the rule)

That's one of the reasons why I hate punk culture so much, it's so goddamn pretentious and the music largely sucks (even the acclaimed shit like The Clash is awful in my book) and punks attacking metalheads for being losers is like the music equivalent of A-Log attacking Chris-Chan for being a sperg.

Late 90s, early 2000s nu metal, it just takes me back to those days.

I can feel you there. I'll admit I do have a bit of a guilty pleasure soft spot for a lot of the late 90's and early 2000's pop and rock, even if it's mainly a nostalgia thing.

As campy and awful as a lot of this stuff was, I'll admit I have a nostalgic weak spot for it. Having it be on the radio a lot when I was a small kid probably had a lot to do with it.

These songs in particular are among my favorite guilty pleasures

I got into Soviet marches and revolutionary songs again recently. They weren't that much of a guilty pleasure until I started seeing all the tankies in the comments sections.


 
I have very little music shame, but I still listen to songs from the cartoons I grew up with and probably wouldn't choose them when I'm in charge of picking music on a road trip with friends. All Dogs Go To Heaven, Ferngully, Cats Don't Dance, and some TV shows.
 
I really like most of Mindless Self Indulgence. It's so trashy and slimy that I feel gross listening to it. Here's a few of my choice bits.
 
I own a Nickelback album or two. I'm sorry please don't hurt my family!

Other than that I listen to the Titanic soundtrack more often than maybe is healthy. I've always had a thing for movie soundtracks and James Horner did a damn fine job on Titanic.
 
I have a weakness for awful rap/trap music (Music by Love & Hip Hop cast members, Bhad Bhabie, etc.) I know it's awful and there is better music out there... It just gets in my head and sticks around.
