We all have songs we really shouldn't listen too. My personal choice for a Sunday evening is Grace, Not Over Yet. Although I admit I prefer the Klaxons version, for aesthetic reasons.

Add you links here.

It's not a musical shame but probably the last album you'd expect me to possess. It's Johnny Morris. Animal magic. The guy is a genius.

Other than that The spice girls Wannabe often lifts me from a bad mood. But you're to tell no one ok.

You're not the only one!

McFly's greatest hits (snigger). Despite their outlandish claims on the sticker of the promo releases (which I get) it wasn't enough to put me off. I love a bit 'o pure cheesy pop, especially "The Heart Never Lies".

Nothing wrong with Grace's "Not Over Yet", I prefer it over the Klaxons' version tbh.

Not sure if you would regard it as a musical shame, but I still hold most of the Stock Aitken and Waterman material from the 1980s in high regard...

And yet, their finest moment (apart from Cliff Richard's "I Just Don't Have The Heart" - classic!) often goes ignored. Try "Roadblock", an absolutely nailed-on choon. And totally not what you'd expect from the SAW camp.

Oh well, if this is turning into a Stock Aitken Waterman thread, two great SAW productions are "Lover Come Back To Me" by Dead Or Alive (which should have been at least as big a hit as that other DOA song everyone remembers) and "Respectable" by Mel & Kim. Taay-taay-taay-taay-t-t-t-t-t-taaay-taaay...

Ah, yes, I quite like Denis Waterman's music.

I quite like Scatman John and Eiffel 65 myself...

I'm ashamed to say I like "We all stand together" by Paul McCartney and the Frog chorus.

And Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Not that the music is bad, but other people my age think it is weird to like music from that era.

I genuinely like "McCartney II", the solo album that even diehard Macca fans don't like to talk about, which about a trillion people bought on the strength of the catchy rocktastic single "Coming Up" only to discover that the rest of it was a load of synth doodles. There's an awful lot of played-once copies of that album floating about.

In a similar vein, Flanders and Swann. I wonder whether the very obvious (but quite affectionate, I think) parody on The Armstrong & MIller Show has sparked any new interest in them?
