OK Dung Beetle…you do not even know me and you pegged me so very well! Love that one. Used to play it on the jukebox when I was a kid. That reminds me I should add another tune from that era that I used to play alot. “Rose Garden” by Lynn Anderson. I used to play that song for my Mom at a local restaurant every time we went there. Just hearing it brings back the memory of stale beer and fried chicken.
Ok…I have more.
“Carrie Ann”
“She Blinded Me with Science” (Thomas Dolby…ah, yes)
“Rock the Boat”
“Windy”
“Two Princes” (Spin Doctors)
“Run to Me” (BeeGees)
And I’m not really ashamed…they are just some of the songs I get razzed about liking.
I’m 33 years old, I should be past this, but…
Linkin Park - like the OP, just about everything by them. I bought two of their CDs (not the remix one) and a live CD/DVD set.
Ditto on Hoobastank, Smashmouth, and “Hey Ya.”
(and on preview, “Blinded Me with Science” and “Two Princes”…)
Cher - “Believe.” I dunno. Maybe it reminds me of my trip to the Italian Riviera several years ago, which is where I first heard it.
This weird remake of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”, by some group called the Scissor Sisters. Think BeeGees doing a kind of happy cover of this song, and you’ll be pretty close. For me it kind of sits on the boundary between hilarious and heresy.
Duran Duran. Hey, I was a teenager in the '80s, sue me.
This is the very reason I clicked on the thread. I’m ashamed. Whenever it comes on in a bar or a club or on the radio, I find myself holding tight to feet that want to tap and thinking to myself Must not let anyone know you know all the words!!!
A guilty pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless. I don’t even own a copy of the song anywhere, and I like it that way.
But I’m also a sucker for 80’s glam metal. Please don’t make me name the songs.
