Being a snob is great and all. But I enjoy nostalgia.
To elaborate: just because your pallet grows to enjoy fine Scotch, doesn't mean you're too good for cheap beer.

Hey man I still sing "Strawberry" from Sparkle and Fade to myself when I'm in a shitty mood. It cheers me up, despite being a truly heartbreaking look at drug addiction.
If they ever wrote a classic song, it wasn't Santa Monica or You Make me feel Like a Whore or Father or Mine or Everything to Everyone or any of the super awful shit that followed. It was fucking "Strawberry."
That track has a universal appeal and a truly genuine sound. Like the Replacements or Lou Reed circa Transformer. It's a great, great song. Agree?
