Maybe I'm a freak, but I like all music, and if it was a hit, there was a good reason it was a hit. Some reason, however dumb. And I'm down with it.

Pretty much every rock and roll love song is about having an affair, or treating a woman badly (here is guitar solo for you bitch), "forbidden love" as already noted here, or just how it's cool to bang this woman, sometimes with the lead singer actually banging the woman in a recording booth.

I didn't realize what exactly "smooth jazz" was until fairly recently when landing on a radio station in search of non-distracting filler music. Closest thing I can compare it to is the background music of the local forecasts on the Weather Channel in the 90s. I was a little dumbfounded that this was an actual genre of music with its own radio stations and top 10 request countdowns and everything.

Before any potential smooth jazz fans out there take offense, I can't in good conscience claim it was "bad" and it did in fact serve my needs in the moment, but I confess for a bit there part of me felt profoundly embarrassed at it. I felt like it was music for people who hate music; like Michael Bolton would've been too hard and edgy for this scene. Also at first I thought all the tracks were from the 80s before realizing most of them were pretty new.

Whether I should be embarrassed for being a snobby judgmental rear end in a top hat over something deliberately inoffensive or if I should be embarrassed for actually consistently listening to this blandest radio station ever for several days in a row (or for writing this dumb pointless post about it when nobody could possibly care), I was probably right to be embarrassed.

As a Smooth Jazz purist, Firstly.....

Fuckin Peter Cetera - "Glory of Love"

I'll stick up for Peter Cetera to an extent. He had a cool distinctive voice that let him smoothly glide through power ballads without "oversinging," and while I didn't care for most of his songs, his Karate Kid love anthem was catchy and the movie provided the perfect context for the material. "Peter Cetera" is a killer name for a musician, too, for whatever that's worth.

He also had a duet with Cher that's frankly pretty awful but is hilarious because you know they both paired up out of morbid fascination to hear how ridiculous it'll sound when they combine their weird distinctive voices (and for maximum weirdness he has the higher voice singing the lower parts while she has the deeper voice singing the higher parts)- it's like they morph into a single androgynous 80s power ballad-belting banshee creature.

I'll go ahead and post a vid even though I actually think it's awesome as a mad scientist experiment and don't find it embarrassing at all (honestly this thread's showing a distressing lack of appreciation for kitsch that I find unbecoming of a comedy forum called "SomethingAwful.com" but whatever I won't judge)

It's Starships "We Built this City"

I went to see Starship at the height of this song. I was there for Night Ranger but you do what you need, right?

Starship opened with "We Built This City", they closed with "We Built This City", and they came out for this hilarious encore with "We Built This City" that no one asked for, I think in fact everyone was booing.
