Members Mav64 Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I like both The Final Countdown and Unskinny Bop. There I said it. Yes the keyboard riff in Final Countdown is super cheesy as is the singer but John Norum is a badass and well worth listening to anytime even if you have to put up with some major Velveeta. And I find the Unskinny Bop riff absolutely irresistable. It's just so sickly, sugary sweet and hooky. It's gets me everytime.So tell us about your bad taste or just ridicule mine if you prefer...

Members Northstar Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Poison is/was a stupid band but that riff was unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I kind of hate Final Countdown but I must say, it might be the catchiest song of all time. If someone whistles or hums it once it WILL get stuck in my head. Props for writing something so dang catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vikingrat Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think Loverboy ,Billy Squier, Styx and Kansas had some great songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twofoolsaminute Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I love all that stuff. I just know I'm not allowed to like hair bands around here, so I refuse to admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kulardenu Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 There should be a HCEG Cover Jam for the Final Countdown... I have a feeling it's going to be big on New Years 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I kind of smile to myself when hearing that stuff, but yeah. I still dig all of it. When Every Rose Has It's Thorn comes on, I sing along with it.... quite loudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vikingrat Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I can out do anyone here with bad taste- Touch-Don't Ya Know What Love Is. I am not joking for once. I really do love this song and the synth solo is da bomb. Very chessy. Could someone post that song? Then we can all laugh and point at vikingrat.

Members Mav64 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Mav64, were you ever into Shooting Star. The guys that had Hang On For Your Life? 707 was another. Had me some Shooting Star on cassette and 707 was from just up the road here. I'm in area code 707. The guitarist Kevin Russell used to play a regular Thursday night gig just a few minutes from here with his brother on bass. The Russell Brothers Band, just smoking, hyper blues licks. Love it! Comin' on like a Mega Force! [video=youtube;E7EEbcg-T_o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7EEbcg-T_o Upon further review that sounds a LOT like Nightranger...

Members Metalrulez Posted April 23, 2011 Members Share Posted April 23, 2011 Catchy music does not need to have a reason behind it. If it moves peoples asses and or feet what ever it works. Cheesy is a label people attach to music/songs when they fear other peoples reaction if it gets out they like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
