    For me the Bon Jovi, Europe, Warrant, Poison etc all fit in my GOOD music collection.
    Cliff was awesome in the 70s - We Don't Talk anymore & Carrie were killer tunes.
    Abba were brilliant.

    I loved loads of glam rock bands that had questionable musicianship now and then and very questionable dress sense, but I loved them...however I'll offer this up even though it was great fun back in 1986




    I don't care a bit for the likes of Nikki Minaj etc but Katy Perry on the other hand - yes please
    This guitar should have been covered by a decent glam rock band as the chord movement is so cool

    @felineguitars "I kissed a girl" must be the most unsubtle example of "sex sells" ever. Cracking tune though.

    Driving in this morning. I heard an old fave...

    Roachford - Cuddly Toy



    To be honest I don't know if it counts as bad. It's a cracking tune. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    Singer in our band suggested that track, I youtube'd it as I hadn't heard it for years and got that clip! Brilliant.

    I watched that and thought it would be a great choon for a covers band. If people don't dance to that they are dead.

    He was in Aphrodite's Child, and thus gets a free pass no matter how cheesy his later stuff was.

    Well, I have an abiding love of disposable pop, so lots of things ... maybe this?

    (Marilyn's "Calling Your Name", to save your ears if you're feeling delicate)

    Or what about this:

    (The Nolans - "I'm In The Mood For Dancing")

    (I'm reliving my teens :-) )

    Things is though - are these bad songs? I dunno ... I've never really understood the "guilty pleasures" thing. If you like a song, then it's a good song. This whole idea that there are songs you're not "supposed" to like is rubbish.

    I got Abba's Arrival when I was 6 and I've never stopped loving it since (yes, including "Tiger"). I spent a good amount of the 90s/00s telling everyone how good Abba were and it's only in the last few years that I've found people mostly agreeing with me. Cliff's late 70s/early 80s stuff is mostly solid gold (we'll just skim over "Daddy's Home" which is astonishingly creepy); I went to a Cliff concert in the 90s with my Mum and it was superb.

    I like Garry Mulholland's theory (stated in his excellent book This Is Uncool) that everyone has one good single in them.

    I discovered their album 666 a couple of years ago, it's just fantastic. "The Four Horsemen" - epic!

    I actually *bought* the CD single.

    And I had a c15min drive into the office at the time, so I spent about 3mths listening to it on the commute in ...





    Still like it though.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    I have just realised that I like the song The Prayer.  :-O
    But I like it more when it is not Celine Dion singing it.
    Haven't yet decided which version I like. For me it is not a candidate for worst song  but this thread was the best fit.

    Reminder of the tune.

    When Celine hits the key change there's little better.
