I love millions of songs that are deeply uncool, but I make no apologies for it. A few examples that come to mind would be:

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves - Cher
Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi
November Rain - Guns and Roses
Be With You - Mr. Big
More Than Words - Xtreme
Back for Good - Take That
Babe - Take That
A Million Lovesongs - Take That
Okay, pretty much every major Take That hit...
And East 17... ("outside it's raining but inside it's wet!")
And 5ive...
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell

I could be here all night with this. I have no shame like.

Big into More Than a Feeling lately.

Just got Foreigner - I want to know what love is on record. It was a good day.

The ipod is riddled with guilty pleasures including:
gwen stephanie: hollaback girl
Babylon zoo: spaceman
roy Orbison: you got it
The beloved: Sweet harmony
Cindy Lauper: Time after time [the original AND a happy hardcore version!!]
Len: if you steal my sunshine
Strike, Livin' Joy and every other ROCO tune...

Pretty shameful.

I recently robbed all my auld fella vinyls and started listening to prog rock. I've spent my whole life going on about how prog rock is just musical wanking, now I own a listen to nearly every "Yes" album ever commited to record.

Prog rock is my fav style of rock.
Well at least the Floydian era.
Wouldnt mind hearing somen more modern tracks in that genre.

Topaz by the B-52's..although I would maintain it's great pop rong, and Nile Rogers from Chic plays guitar, so not exactly without merit.

All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey...well tis the season..first time I heard it I assumed it was a cover of an old Phil Spector tune...was gutted to find out she actually wrote it!
