I totally get the subject and the point. There are some songs I just can’t stomach. It’s usually the lyrics not the music. Let’s face it, some of the best songs ever have simple music.

As much as I love his other music, can’t stand Longer by Fogelberg.

Same for If by Gates. He wrote great songs but I’m not a fan of this one.

Interesting that Silly Love Songs was mentioned. That’s a favorite of mine. Come on, it’s sugary on purpose! That’s the whole point - it’s a silly love song. When we play that one in our live show people go crazy. Another guilty pleasure song like that is Love Will Keep Us Together. The crowd responds really well to it! And that’s why I enjoy playing - crowd response. We do plenty of “higher integrity” songs that redeem us - ha ha. But I’ll always be a sucker for a great catchy pop song that gets a great reaction. If that means I lose the respect of some snobby musicians, I’m ok with that. I’m not trying to impress them! 😉
