I may be mis-reading, but I feel like there's kind of a meannesss to some of these comments that bothers me a bit.
For one thing, friends, I took this thread as being kind of *about* semi-shitty music. Or at least unexpectedly good songs from largely shifty genres. Can't we talk about that? I mean, have you ever seen that Seinfeld episode? It's absurd! And "Desperado" is a shit ass song by one of the most famously shit ass bands ever. Wanker in the episode goes all haunted-eyed when it plays, like it's super deep. It's necessary ridiculousness.
Can't we talk about that shit? Like, when it happened to us? I've had a boner for "Bette Davis Eyes" since I was like 10 years old. I don't know shit about Kim Carnes, and I'm sure I'd never like anything else she made, but when that song comes on the radio, I listen. Is it silly? Yes. Absolutely. But it's also a great song.
I guess from my perspective, if you don't like the discussion, don't take pat in it. Why drop in just to say something nasty?
