Hmmm, I listen to a huge pile of electronic music, too much to list! But the least cool song from the top in my Last.fm list (website that tracks plays, been scrobbling since 2006) on #16 most played tracks ever (130 plays) is this:
Imagine trying to explain/justify listening to that when you've fronted a Thrash metal band.
(for the curious: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], even got Coldplay ranked pretty high for a "metalhead")

I've heard that you're not supposed to like Phil Collins Sussudio. Or any Phil Collins. But hearing and watching Lee Sklar jam it I can't help but like the song. Plus the performances are tighter than...well you know.
Dixie Chicks songs. When I tell people they're one of my favorite bands ever they get all uppity about it.
Except for the musicianship always being first rate. The arrangements being steller. The vocals being as good as any group ever assembled. The song choices are generally exactly what you'd expect.
I can see why people don't like them.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Sinatra. Listen to some of the Rat Pack shows - the musicianship was outstanding. Or Tonight Shows from the 70s - same thing.
Must have been a blast to play in those bands.

This kinda stuff:
And that's the tame stuff...
oh man if you guys only knew
ooh lordy

A good friend's band in the '80s covered "Sussudio"...Oteil Burbridge was the bassist in this band. I'll never forget it!
FWIW, Rufus covered this...I do not recall hearing it, however.
I just sampled a bit of this...it's on Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan. Apparently, released as a single in 1976. Different in that it's electric bass & not a synth. I prefer, ummm...the Bee Gees' version.

I'm too old to be cool. I like what I like.
Too many to mention. "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong", "It's Hip To Be Square", almost anything by K.C. & the Sunshine Band. No one would talk to me if they saw all the goofy music I like dancing around in my head.

I enjoy playing Sweet Home Alabama. And I think it's an awesome bassline.
Also a big Partridge Family fan.
Do what you like with those 2 little bits of info there.

ABBA wrote some great songs! I was a fan when I was four years old and I still enjoy a lot of their music today.
