30 Day Song Challenge Day 13 – A song that is a guilty pleasure
Def Leppard - Photograph (man oh man I ADORE this song. Yeah, I cannot explain it...I just do. Oh my gosh, so much!)
Lady Gaga! I like “Paparazzi” a lot, even, which even fellow guilty Gaga fans seem reticent about.
early Madonna (“Cherish”, “Burning Up”)
Heart
Kylie Minogue
Jem and the Holograms and all that Disney Afternoon theme song stuff...
Stone Temple Pilots (when I’m in a very specific and rare mood, hee...it’s weird because I hated them growing up, it isn’t a nostalgia thing...)
Also, I can still totally tolerate early Smashing Pumpkins (and hell, even select later stuff...I know, shudder), it’s true. Feel like a g-damn tool for it though, given how unbearable a personality Corgan is.
AC/DC, for sentimental reasons
Billy Idol - Dancin’ With Myself
The Pretenders - Brass in Pocket (though I always think of the Catherine Tate show now), Talk of the Town (thanks to Rebecca Gates covering it live!)
The Concretes...I listen to those two albums way more often than I probably should--so derivative and emptily stylish that way most stuff that period was, but it happened to be riffing off one of my favorite sorts of things musically. A weak spot!
the entire Milla Jovovich album, yah really. I swear I am not this Enya-ed out, but it just works sometimes, probably due to a nostalgia factor.
this goofy "Peanuts Gang sings the Beatles" tape from long ago...I don't even particularly dig the Beatles (yes, you heard right) but something about little kids singing their pop songs joyously just does it for me, oddly enough. Lotsa xylophone.
