Jukebox Musicals and Guilty Pleasures

At the highpoint of jukebox musicals on/off broadway, I wanted to start a little thread of people's "guilty pleasure" jukebox musicals. Are they any that people wish would come true? Most jukebox musicals are silly it seems to translate on stage, but if there are others like me, there are a lot of "greatest hits" we secretly long for on the big stage, no matter how silly. With the flow of these musicals on broadway today, anything is possible!

My list of pop jukebox musicals I thought up:
Madonna
Michael Jackson
Laura Branagin

-Although I'm not Tina Turner's biggest fan, I think a jukebox musical of her songs might actually work. Wouldn't it be cool to hear one of the broadway gals belt "Private Dancer" and "What's Love Get to Do with It?"
PS-I read a few years ago a musical based on Kylie Minogue was in the works.

I would love a "jukebox musical" based on the life and songs of the Ramones.
