    I'm in major agreement with you, Mike. When it comes to cheese, forget about the 90s - or even the 70s. 80s all the way.
    Some more magnificent specimens: Falco - Rock Me Amadeus, Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (even had its own thread a few weeks ago).

    It's gotta be fantastic tack from the eighties all the way, like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler, "Africa" by Toto and the like. Also The Spice Girls and Girls Aloud are just plain class. :D

    Have to say always liked 'The Look' by Roxette and funnily enough 'The Look' by Prince aswell, I suppose both of them pretty cheesy, 'Big love' by Fleetwood Mac's pretty good too, 'Only when I sleep' by the Corrs

    My music collection is chock-full of embarrassing cheesy rubbish, but that's 'cos I'm a DJ. I don't actually listen to most of it! (honest!)

    Some real classics:

    Engelbert Humperdinck - Please Release Me
    Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely?
    Phyllis Nelson - Move Closer
    T'Pau - China In Your Hand
    N'Sync This I Promise You
    Bellamy Brothers - Let Your Love Flow
    Brotherhood of Man - Save All Your Kisses for Me
    Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up
    Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

    I could go on, but I'd be typing all night...!

    I think he was meant to re-release around the time that Peter Andre released Mysterious Girl, I guess it didn't get to that stage. :)

    Dune - Can't stop Ravin'
    Dune - Hardcore Vibes
    Mark McCabe - Maniac 2000
    Nena - 99 Red Baloons

    99 Red Balloons is an absolute cheese classic - nay, just a classic full stop! Although I can't forgive you for including Maniac 2000 - it's just sh*t in all senses - even by cheese standards. However the original, used on the Flashdance soundtrack - splendid stuff!
    Big in Japan by Alphaville is another cracker.
    As is Self Control by Laura Branigan.
    Lots of stuff by Nik Kershaw and Howard Jones was class too.

    Ah, the 80s. It gave us so much brilliant naff pop - what's not to like?

    No. No you should not. Some cheese can go mouldy - that, along with Maniac 2000, is an example.

    Army of Lovers: Crucified
    Pepsi & Shirlie: Heartache
    Dr. Hook: Sylvia's Mother
    Spice Girls: Mama & 2 Become 1 :o

    I'm sure I'll think of more :)

    I admit it. I'm addicted to 70's Funk.
    Average White Band, James Brown, Marvin Gaye ...and recently discovered that I LOVE the Temptations!

    Also, whoever said they like Hansen - MmmBop?
    I keep it on my computer to drive my hubby crazy, but yes, I secretly LOVE Hansen too!:p (OMG that is truely emberassing!)

    TBH I have nothing against the following artists, but I know that they're widely regarded by others as having little musical integrity (and some of 'em are just...girly :D):

    Katie Melua - Nine million bicycles
    The Libertines/Pete Doherty stuff
    Faye Wong (you know the song, among others)
    My Chemical Romance
    Seal - Kiss From A Rose, heh.
    Cheesy power metal

    Meh, that's about all. Everything else I listen to is pretty respectable :)
