Listen to my schizz
 
The Rules:

(A) Find a track in your collection that you know has no real artistic merit or is cheesy as the Edam processing factory.
(B) Find a link for a vid and post.
(C) Invite people to rip the piss or maybe secretly admire(?)

You MUST genuinely like the track you posted and own it in some form or another. A few notes on why you like the track are appreciated.

I will begin this daft game:

After dinner smooth Jazz Funk tune belter Sade was the artist of choice for cash riddled idiotic Yuppies in the 80's. For some strange reason I like a lot of her music. The blown out ballads make me cringe but her Soul/Funk tinged tunes are well produced with good Bass lines and she has a sexy voice too.

I always feel the need to point out that Sade used to be Robert Elms girlfriend.

Probably because he always says that everytime he talks about her.

Alright alright then. I must say it then, i find that absolutely terrible. And the video you ask? Even worse.

The voice to me seems far from sexy, seems more like she swallowed something she shouldn't have.

Sorry Jackhammer, i either hate this, or have a secret undying love for it of which i wouldn't reveal.

How about...

"Informer"—Snow

Yes, it's a cheesy, cheesy song that contributes nothing new to the genre that it's aping. Yes, he's a white Canadian faking a Jamaican accent. Yes, it's yet another example of record labels trying to make predominantly black music more mainstream by using a white performer. But for some reason I like this song a lot, and I must confess I own the whole album and it actually has several other songs on it that I like too.

And, yes, this is even more embarrassing to me because my wife is Jamaican.

At last. Someone get's it. Sorry but as a serious Reggae fan this is utter filth. Of course I have heard it before but it degenerates in appeal each time. ;)

I know. Soppy ballads are for soppy people. Maybe I'm a romantic underneath. To be fair it came out when my parents split up so nostalgia plays a part:

I think a large amount of the music I listen to would fit under this category (no artistic merit). :D



It's one of Lagwagon' worst songs, if you think about it, but I enjoy listening to it. I find the "one day" part catchy, for some reason. I have no clue why they decided to stick it on a full-length, when a great song like A Feedbag Of Truckstop Poetry was included on their "Let's Talk About Leftovers" album.

Well, you'll get no argument from me about it being total garbage. :D

Heh. Another one I own on cassette! I used to even have the songbook for that album.

Whitesnake are pretty much the bottom of the barrel as far as the well known glam metal bands go and yet... and yet... I like them too. Sort of. But it's mostly because their self-titled album reminds me of the rollerskating rink I used to hang out at when that album was new. And that rollerskating rink is where I had my first kiss and where I used to go on most of my little dates with my first girlfriend. I have similar feelings about this song (and several others) from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack:



That's right, I said Dirty Dancing. :o:
