Damn, beaten to it in the second post!
This is my immediate answer to this oft-posed question. Except for about two songs, I loathe and despise The Eagles, Henley in particular.
But there’s simply no denying what a great song “Boys of Summer” is. I justify it by saying it’s Mike Campbell’s guitar work and overall musical direction that makes it what it is.
I generally don’t like Whitesnake, but I love “Is This Love?”
I generally do not like Linkin Park, but damn it to hell “Breaking the Habit” is so catchy!
I can’t stand The Eagles, but I like all of the singles that made it to the radio from the individual members.
I loathed rheumy eyed OLD Huey Lewis and His News, the sight of him made me queasy. But. I liked “Heart and Soul”.
Elvis.
But I love Latest Flame and Heartbreak Hotel.
Agreed on all counts, but I love Dirty Laundry, Driving with My Eyes Closed and Down at the Sunset Grill by Henley (dammit).
Dirty Laundry:
Henley comes across as a douche a lot, but them’s some great lyrics in a great song…
U2 and I Will Follow.
I do not like Linkin Park, but Bleed It Out is darn catchy.
Counting Crows. Hate them.
A Long December. Good song.
I generally don’t like Usher, but I really like Yeah.
I wouldn’t be caught dead owning a KISS album, but I do love “Beth.”
Coldplay/ “Viva la Vida”
Justin Bieber’s “Baby” is a great song. But I can’t say I don’t like him otherwise – it’s the only song of his I’ve heard. Maybe his whole album is great.
