Here is a scientific calculation how much I like each and everyone of you:

My category 7 entry will not improve matters.
The above numbers include all the categories.
Colours presumably represent the heat of your love?

What else could it possibly be?
I guessed you wouldn’t like Damo so had to offer you a Malcolm as well. After all they are one of the top 3 ish bands of all time.
Hypnosis takes time.
Yoo didn’t doo right, I suspect.
clear category winner
losing is winning
Next reveal will start in about 1h.
pyatnitski and jalfrezi are going to submit something in 4/4 with a discernible chord progression and be ashamed that they like it

On top of that it’s also plagiarism. The shame…the shame

Guilty pleasure: a song that you are a bit embarassed to admit you actually love/like
I could be accused of entrapment here. “Send me questionable songs and then watch me trash you for it!” That wasn’t fair. My apologies in advance. Nothing personal.
This category naturally invites entries that are well-known. Why would you feel guilty about some obscure song no one knows? That’s also on me. There won’t be any penalties for being “obvious”. Have your smelling salts ready.
I hope we can still have fun even if by pointing and laughing at all the other’s choices because they are clearly worse than our own.
Let’s start with myself. For many years I hated that song with a passion. That stupid fucking Mickey Mouse voice, that silly canned euro-techno beat. I couldn’t stand it. Then one day I heard it again and thought “actually that isn’t so bad”. I probably got hit in the head one too many times.
Compared to that, how bad can your song really be?

Tier 1: The prosecution asks for Capital Punishment
In 16th place, scoring 1 point, @Suzzer99 with What have I done to deserve this? By Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Suzzer, I thought we had a good thing going here.
That song works on a meta-level because I, too, asked myself what have I done to deserve this? I never liked the Pet Shop Boys who I consider one of the worst offenders in synth pop. Their “singing” does nothing for me. The redeeming quality of this song is that sometimes they don’t and hand the mic to Mrs. Springfield.

Tier 2: Guilty beyond reasonable doubt
In 15th place, scoring 2 points, @NhlNut with You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim) by Rod Stewart
This is sugar-coated cheese. I might have become lactose intolerant and contracted diabetes at the same time. This isn’t even the good Rod Stewart cheese. I really need a palate cleanser after this.
In 14th place, scoring 3 points, @King_of_NY with Good Time Music by The Brady Bunch
NOT ON SPOTIFY
Certainly guilty of a violation of the truth in advertising laws. Looks like my palate cleanser is a different flavor of cheese.

In 13th place, scoring 4 points, @NotBruceZ with Feelin’ Way Too Damn Good by Nickelback
Songs like these are the reason why people make fun of Nickelback. A generic rock song created in a sterile laboratory environment.
I love “How you remind me” and they have other good songs, too. I don’t buy into all the Nickelback hate. At one point it became fashionable to hate Nickelback and a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon. This song demonstrates how there is always a kernel of truth in conspiracy theories.
Tier 3: Guilty by preponderance of evidence
In 12th place, scoring 5 points, @Pauwl with Shut Up Kiss Me by Angel Olsen
I could try to come up with a longer write-up but in the end it would still be able to be distilled into two words: “Meh. Whatever.”
In 11th place, scoring 6 points, @JohnnyTruant with Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
I confess I liked this when it came out. It didn’t age well. Maybe I suffer oversaturation from when you couldn’t escape that song anywhere. Now she is just somebody that we used to know.

In 10th place, scoring 7 points, @LikeClockwork with Nothing Breaks Like A Heart by Mark Ronson (Feat. Miley Cyrus)
A by the numbers pop song with Miley (in my opinion) phoning it in. She can do so much better (cf. Her Jolene cover version). This is a missed opportunity.
