Blow your credibility!
Declare your love for those unfashionable songs you've always had a soft spot for but, were too erabarrassed to disclose.

Vincent by Don McLean

[YOUTUBE]dipFMJckZOM[/YOUTUBE]

A beautifully written song by Don McLean after he'd read a book about the troubled artist Vincent Van Gogh.
OK we all know that, but when you consider how quickly this song was completed after putting pen to paper, its nothing short of a masterpiece.
Everything about this song has me feeling strangely, happily melancholic.
There's nothing impressionistic about 'Vincent'. Every single word is crystal clear and at a tempo that demanRAB the listener to listen, to understand.
Sad and uplifting all at the same time.
Unfashionable? Yes, but without doubt one of my all time favourite songs.
 
A have a big thing for Genius of Love by The Tom Tom Club which is a song that has suffered from guilt by association due to the enormous amount of terrible RnB and hip hop songs that have sampled it (mainly Mariah Carey).

Because it doesn't fit with the kind of music I usually go for.
Same with 'Torn'. It's inevitable that someones choices are going to be challenged because people have differing tastes.
I wouldn't have had you down for thinking this song was "awesome" for starters.
That's what this thread is about...digging up a few surprises and learning about one another's less obvious tastes.

Edit: and stop being so fucking abrasive.
 
sorry i was at work haha

here's some more from back then (NO irony)

YouTube - A ha- Take On Me - the quality is a bit lacking but it seems to be the only 'original' version of the video on youtube. the site is packed with 'funny' versions of the video... and i thought thom yorke had a high pitched voice hahaha

YouTube - Huey Lewis & The News - Heart Of Rock 'n' Roll (Remastered Audio) - it's the first music video i ever remeraber seeing. still awesome haha

YouTube - HOWARD JONES - THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER - try getting this one out of your head :rofl:

I don't care what anyone says, this is a fantastic song. It was massive when I was at school and it's since become one of the musical skeletons in my closet.
 
I do concur. No matter it's kitsch value it is a pile of bollocks.

Is it square to like this? Probably! I do really like this song so bollocks basically.

I'll abrase you >;(

EDIT: I made it less abrasive, happy? :D

Also I find the notion of "fashionable" music to be pretty laughable, in an age where everyoen can have their tastes opened up by the internet, what is "good" and what isn't will always be subjective. But playing along:
