Well, taste is subjective.

Saturdays Alright for Fighting-Elton John  
Piano Man-Billy Joel  
Just the Way You Are-Bruno Mars  
I Gotta Feeling-Black Eyed Peas  
Those are ones that come to mind right now. Love Queen but hate I Want to Break Free and Somebody to Love.

A minor digression. I’m your typical baby-boomer who thinks three-chord rock made America great. I hate rap. I hate country music. I also hate opera. I have always been fearful that someone someday would write a country-rap opera and it would be a huge hit from which the synergistically awful music would be inescapable. Hearing about so-called “hick hop” has rekindled that fear.
