Cheesy pop songs you really like
on: October 05, 2005, 10:10:43 PM
I have four:

Bette Midler - To Deserve You
Madonna - You'll See
Minnie Riperton - Loving You
Nightwish - Sleeping Sun

Maybe Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights too.

I am trying to expand this list. I want to compile a secret CD. I need some contrast for the long Sorabji listening sessions. :)

I am trying to figure out why I like the ones above and hate pretty much everything else. But it is eluding me, ironicly enough, heh. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty fond of "empty spaces" by backstreet boys. i respect them a bit more for that song than i previously did.

The people writing for britney spears craft some damn catchy tunes. One day I'll write up a fugue on 'oops I did it again'. That would be a hoot ;D.

U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name

Cheesy pop song? I don't think so, that's a brilliant song.
