Anyone got any of these? Songs which you shouldn't like (wrong era, wrong genre, band/singer you don't like) but you do.
A few are Alone and These Dreams by Heart. Wrong era for me, 1987/8, and I don't like 80s power ballads, but I think these two are brilliant. Small-town boy by Bronski Beat is another, I love the haunting backing track on it.
I don't like Country and Western at all but I do like a handful of C and W songs, a few by Dolly Parton and Shania Twain, also Glen Campbell. 90s and 2000s boy bands aren't my thing at all, but I like two or three by Take That, and I think Keep on movin by Five is a great song
Any more?

I feel the same about C&W, Carty. There's great music from many genres I don't specifically follow. I know there aren't many who like electronic music here and I must admit I haven't really followed the genre for many years, however I've been listening to a fair bit of it whilst exercising and quite like these two tracks.

As I have said a couple of (thousand) times before, I hate Autotune, but have a soft spot for No Place I'd Rather Be by Jess Glynne/Clean Bandit (mainly because they toned down the Autotune on this track).
In the 2000's, I hated the Boy Band phase, but quite liked the stuff Blue did - probably in a Dad Dancing This one has a good beat, way.
I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Bono who always sounds like he's about to throw up, with the exception of It's A Beautiful Day.
Jim Diamond, a talented guy but didn't like his high vocal range on his solo songs....with the exception of his work on PHD's, I Won't Let You Down.
C & W - same as Carty and Del, but you have to like Glen Campbell.

Glen Campbell was indeed a fine artist and session man on loads of mega hits.

One for you, DE, Justified and Aincent by KLF and Tammy Wynette. The most strange collaboration ever, but I strangely like it

Such a weird collab that one. It worked though, I quite like it.

It's just utterly barking mad, but somehow works
