Madonna Ray of Light and Beautiful Stranger
Kylie - Come Into My World - like the video

All the Blink 182 songs.

Pop by Nsync. I absolutely loathed the boy band craze of the late 90s but this song just did it for me.

 

[Mitchell54]

Essendons theme song by Essendon

[MisterMarcus]

Yeah I must admit, this is a kind of guilty pleasure for me too.

 

[Damon_3388]

One of those unnecessarily dramatic '80s pop songs, like "Don't Lose My Number" and "We Didn't Start the Fire".

 

[Zuma]

I echo the sentiment that Maroon5 evolved into a completely different act than I initially expected. Even song to song with their early singles. This Love was fairly different and corporatey compared to Harder to Breathe, then She Will Be Loved was sort of charmingly embraced by Australia as an unlikely no.1.

Beyond that, well...at least they produced a few more catchy tunes, all I can say. The guy clearly has a knack for the showbiz.

I have always been ambivalent to Justin Beiber, I was already beyond 21 when I first heard of him and was disconnected enough from my age group for him to not have much presence in my life (same goes for One Direction, campaigners gonna hate, rest don't care unless you spend a lot of time around teen girls). Until recently, the only song I was aware of was the 'Baby' hook.

But I must admit that his three recent singles have been very likeable, and the Love Yourself video clip would have to be one of my absolute favourites of the decade thus far, I could watch it every day. I've actually taken notice of him, whereas I'd managed to stay largely aloof up until now. That's a well conceived reinvention. They aren't memorable or great songs, but if they popped up on the radio in 10 years, I wouldn't turn it over or anything.

I Want You Back - 'N Sync (catchy guilty pleasure. Jeezus, just saw the video, back when Fatone wasn't a Fat One)
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Pretty Fly - The Offspring

 

[Mr Eagle]

One of those unnecessarily dramatic '80s pop songs, like "Don't Lose My Number" and "We Didn't Start the Fire".

My parents are to blame for me knowing this one...but it is rather good. Lots of rock potential in the hands of the right band.

Although it's not in that version, the album version has an extended 'solo' part that includes the voice of a young Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy) reading Shakespeare.

Lol, this sounds so appropriately, brilliantly pretentious. I'll have to seek it out.

I usually can't take Priest seriously, as they epitomise cringe-worthy metal cheese to me, but this is cracking stuff.

I get where you're coming from re: metal cheese BUT in my humble opinion Tipton and Downing are downright, absolutely brilliant guitarists. Up there with the absolute best of them.
