Cafe Society

Self-explanatory title, I hope.

I always love to hear these even though a lot of people think I am a complete nerd. Who cares? If it makes you happy, listen to it. That’s what a lot of music is for.

Moonlight Feels Right—Starbuck
Flamethrower—J. Geils Band
Everything She Wants—Wham!
Robert Palmer (almost anything)

What songs/artists make your list?

I was going to restart this thread the other day, when I found myself listening to:

The theme from Mortal Kombat - Utah Saints
Always Something There to Remind Me - Naked Eyes
Situation - Yaz
I’m Coming Up - Pink
Popcorn - Hot Butter

3

The entire concept album of '80s pop synthesized sci-fi vagueness that is Planet P Project.

4

I like ABBA, even though I usually listen to AC/DC, Motorhead, Black Sabbath etc…

5

That silly Fish heads song. :slight_smile:

I also like music by Telex

6

S Club 7, and S Club Juniors :o

7

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell

Queen - any of the older albums

The soundtrack of Phantom of the Opera

And one I want, my sister order a compilation album of early seventies ballad type music…Seasons in the Sun, The Night Chicago Died, Billy Don’t Be a Hero…

8

Digital Underground (Humpty Dance, Same Old Song)

9

Another ** ABBA ** person. And pre-ABBA ABBA and post-ABBA ABBA.

10

My guiltiest musical pleasure is a Garth Brooks fetish. No really.

11

Really cheesy remixes
Davinci’s Notebook (great acappella group but some really cheesy lyrics)
Moxy Fruvous
Wait wait, hold the boat. People here are listing Abba, Meat Loaf and Queen. Those can’t possibly be uncool! can they?

12

I love James Taylor. OK? Enough said!

Well, not really. I also love Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.

Je ne regrette rien.

13

My musical tastes were never in synch with what my peer group was listening to. I learned a long time ago there’s no such thing as music (or movies or books or anything else) to be ashamed of. I still listen to albums I did when I was in high school and I still love them, as opposed to some of my friends who look back and cringe over what they listened to (and wore - never ever be a slave to the fashions of the day!)

I think the stuff that sticks out as odd is Yazoo - I’m a hard rock/metal kinda gal, yet I dig this cd. Its all about the beat…

14

Oasis - Wonderwall
Cranberries - Linger
LuLu - To Sir With Love
Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

15

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

Please don’t hurt me.

16

disco.

i hated it when it was popular, but somehow i managed to have all the lyrics embedded in my memory.

17

There is no reason for Queen to be in this thread. They ROCK! nothing cheesy or uncool about them.

I, however, like Gordon Lightfoot.

18

I have been known to sing along with “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi when it comes on the radio.

Oh, the shame.

19

Oh, I do believe I’ve won this one.

The song I cannot turn off, no matter how uncool I know it is:

“How Long Has This Been Going On” by Ace.

I have an unabashed love for 80’s hairbands. Poison, Warrant, White Lion, the Scorpions, Mr. Big, Winger… I still love 'em all. Listen to 'em at every opportunity. Even found an all-80’s hairband channel on shoutcast.com to listen to when I’ve exhausted my CD collection.

I just have to make sure I listen to them when nobody else is around, that’s all. :slight_smile:
