more to come as they appear to me.
Great idea for a list. I'll admit to sharing a weakness for "How Bizarre" myself. One summer I worked at a place that blasted a top 40 radio station constantly, and that was one of the few songs in constant rotation that I remember liking.
I'm sorry to say it's one of my non-rock favorites... it's so catchy, but for some reason, like most other "catchy" pop songs... i never get sick of it... I also have somewhat of a weakness for female pop singers who do energetic rock-like songs with a catchy guitar
You could make a whole list of simple 3-chord catchy songs like How Bizarre. That Halo Hanging From My 4 Post Bed song. You Got the Hooch. So many... Since you put a Kelly Clarkson song in your list, I'm willing to admit in print that I actually liked the Wilson Phillips song Hold On. I'm so ashamed.
wow... i didn't think anyone would mention anything that even comes close to beating kelly clarkson... but that is pretty bad.
I'll accept Air Supply, Matchbox 20 and 3rd Eye Blind. But.. Makry Mark, and Christina Aguilera? Oh dear! :)
This coming from a fan of Robbie Williams..
haha... i guess that is the point of this list... these, for the most part, are beyond acception... in fact the nature of the list is that i myself don't accept them... but i can't help but be happy when they come on the radio.
I'm right with you on that Kelly Clarkson song
