Music you like BECAUSE it's cheesy

[Matt Till]

I know I can't be the only one who listens to music that is cheesy for laughs... but also for some musical enlightenment. Examples:

Dio. Dio really does have a great voice/great band, but his delievery and his subject matter are hilarious.

Journey. I don't know how much I really like them, but when I hear a Journey song, I rock hard. Everything about Journey is just... funny. Sad thing is, they started out a proggy rock band, then Steve Perry came into the picture and turned them into a musical joke. *insert laughing all the way to the bank comment*

Ever heard of a small band outta the long beach area called The Ziggens? They got quite a few 'cheezy' tunes that are just great, along with some just rad surfy music.

 

[peteroberts]

Primus.

 

[Mystic Michael]

Ya mean other than Weird Al Yankovic? Of course, back in the day, Frank Zappa and the Mothers were pioneering that same sort of song parody send-up - but with even better musicianship...

Or did you mean music that takes itself seriously - but actually comes out cheesy? For me, that would be Foreigner - except that I never really liked Foreigner...

Britney - "Toxic"

Love that song.

 

[Adam Barkley]

Well I don't find Tears for Fears cheesy; merely dated. I think they had some brilliant songwriting.

hot apple pie- Hillbillies

if not for the sheer redneck of it, at least for the bass solo!

 

[velvetkevorkian]

Power Metal.

 

[velvetkevorkian]

Dream Theatre.

 

[WalterBush]

The Blue Oyster Cult created some of the worst rock cliches known to man. Their music flows from my speakers like a river of Velveeta melting over nachos, and I love very second of it.

Disco Inferno [Burn, Baby, Burn]

I'm sorry - I really love that bass line.

 

[BassGod]

Skid Row.

Dragonforce, i'm seeing them in concert in a month. How can you not rock to that?

Oh yeah, them too. Their guitarists are insane. But they're almost too cheese.
