A sudden journey...

Also featured on Yahoo! today...


The World's Cheesiest Love Song Playlist


You're The Inspiration - Chicago

I like this. Shut up.

The One That You Love - Air Supply

Fortunately perhaps, I can say that I never really liked much Air Supply, with a couple of exceptions of which this isn't one.

Suddenly - Billy Ocean

Indistinct but innocuous.

Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler

A sweeping ballad that should've been swept out the door.

Hello - Lionel Richie

Sigh. This song will always be about gazing at Susan Bagley, one of my jr. high crushes, in the library.

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams

I swear to you folks, one of these days Bryan Adams is just going to break me and I'm going to turn to suicide. Or homicide. I haven't decided yet.

Separate Lives - Phil Collins

Go on...

Hold On To The Nights - Richard Marx

Richard Marx kinda strikes me as being the John Mayer of his day. Seems like a decent enough fellow, good sense of humor about himself--but the music? Makes Hootie & the Blowfish sound nourishing.

Tonight, I Celebrate My Love - Peabo Bryson

What can be said at this point?

At This Moment - Billy Vera

All I remember about this one is that it became a hit on the back of its use in Family Ties.

Always - Atlantic Starr

Ok, I'm a sucker for this one too. Don't tell anybody.

Islands In The Stream - Dolly Parton

I like the Bee Gees version better...

I Honestly Love You - Olivia Newton-John

I prefer ONJ circa "Magic," but there's a powerful rendition of this song in The Boy From Oz, the Broadway show about Peter Allen, the man who wrote it (and "Arthur's Theme," below).

Almost Paradise - Ann Wilson & Mike Reno

I thought that dreams belonged to other men...

I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner

Did you know Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins is part of the choir on this song?

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You - Michael Bolton

I've said it before. If Steve Perry had been just a little more productive in the 90's, we could have completely averted Michael Bolton.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison

Yeah, it does.

Feels Like Heaven - Peter Cetera

I don't remember this song at all, but the '80s single of the same name by none-hit wonders Fiction Factory is lovely.

I Go Crazy - Paul Davis

Here again--this song means nothing to me, but there is a nifty little new wave number of the same name by Flesh For LuLu...

I Swear - All-4-One

I know nothing about this and it doesn't remind me of anything.

Everytime You Go Away - Paul Young

Cheesy? I've killed for less. I love this recording of a great song (written by Daryl Hall, if you don't know). I always thought it would mix well with Maxi Priest's cover of "Wild World"...

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship

...Fair enough...

The Lady In Red - Chris De Burgh

There is an age group for which this song is the height of romanticism. That age group is 16-19. The rest of us have since discovered Gershwin.

Always And Forever - Heatwave

Don't know it, don't know anything about it.

I'll Always Love You - Taylor Dayne

As Taylor Dane goes, I'm more partial to...no, actually, I'm not really partial to any Taylor Dane...

The Power Of Love - Celine Dion

I imagine I could go for quite a long time without hearing any more of the bombastic wailing Celine Dion indulges in.

I Need Love - LL Cool J

Ladies Love Cool James...

All Cried Out - Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam

Bit of a guilty pleasure, this.

Arthur's Theme - Christopher Cross

The best that you can do...

Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton

Better in the songs that sample it.

Could It Be Magic - Barry Manilow

I'm apathetic about Manilow. I don't love him, but it's become too much of a cliché to hate him.

All My Life - K-Ci & JoJo

Don't think I've ever heard this song in all my life.

Faithfully - Journey

Journey was just unfortunate.
