First of all, there's nothing to be ashamed of with ABBA or Air Supply. I like both as well.
Bandit, that is the first time I ever heard Cheri Cheri Lady by Modern Talking. I quite enjoyed that. Posts: 3614 | From: Caught Somewhere in Time.... | Registered: May 2008 | Site Updates: 101

I totally loved Hanson 'cause I grew up with them. I had them on tape. I loved that tape, and I was devastated when I lost the lyrics so I couldn't sing along.
I'll admit I like the cover of "All By Myself" by Celine Dion. And now I'm sad I did. Now I'M all by myself!

I'm suprised people haven't heard of Daniel Bedingfield's "If you're not the one", and I'm even more suprised that it's considered dorky. I love the song, I get quite emotional every time I hear it. I remember a couple years back, Ace Young sang it on Idol, he was terrible as always, but he didn't even know the name of the song!

I remember the kid who lived across the street from mine had AIR SUPPLYS GREATEST HITS and would play it CONSTANTLY (I was more into DURAN DURAN and PAT BENATAR around this time period) and for YEARS after I would say "I hate AIR SUPPLY!" ....but if you don't have to listen to back-to-back AIR SUPPLY for hours on end they are very enjoyable in small doses. I like AIR SUPPLY but I dont want to listen to ALL their songs in one sitting!
ACE OF BASE is another band that I guess some people would be ashamed to admit they like, but I love them! That first album with I saw The Sign and Don't Turn Around is great- every song a winner! (I guess they were a '90s version of ABBA in a way).

That reminds me of a scene in the movie Beautiful Girls. That is a GREAT song to sing along with. Almost everything by Neil Diamond is ok in my book too.
I love Barry Manilow. Really I do. Not that I play his music every day. But I have this tradition to listen to it while I'm... painting. I think he's a fantastic songwriter. 'Mandy' is a masterpiece and so is 'Could It Be Magic'.
Other guilty pleasures are:
'Don't Give Up on Us' by David Soul. (Yup, the blonde guy from Starsky and Hutch)
'Moon River' by Andy Williams
'Adia' by Sarah McLachlan

i'll probably only have fun if the devils win.
i'll defintely start a hockey thread when the season starts. it's always good to bust chops(in a very friendly way of course) during the year.

You know who sings one of the dorkiest songs I have ever heard is Wayne Newton's Duncashane.
I have never understood his popularity...because I have never known any hit by him other than that...and I swear even though I like the whole scene with it in Ferris Bueller...I still hate the song.

besides Danke Schoen which charted at #13 in 1963 Wayne Newton had hits with Red Roses For a Blue Lady #23 in 1965, Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast #4 in 1972, and Years #35 in 1980

I was humming something today I hadn't heard in while. Tony Orlando's Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree. Only in the 70's!
Another song I don't mind(maybe I should?) is by this woman(???) who sang One Tin Soldier.

That would be the group Coven that sang One Tin Soldier which also happens to be the theme song th the movie Billy Jack

That song reminded me a little of this song...
This song my mom use to play for me all the time...then we'd both bawl...maybe that's dorky...now I listen to it, and think of my son, and I bawl some more over him:
