I still ride in a somewhat embarrassed state for all my 80's hair metal shit. Poison, Motley Crue, Whitesnake,1etc. b,121b,121When my wife and I take road trips I'm constantly looking for classic rock stations. Occasionally I'll get one that plays the 80's shit too. "Girls, Girls, Girls," came on one day and I cranked that shit up. My wife looked sideways at me and I said "Deal." b,121b,121If that's not embarrassing enough, I'll admit to being a big Winger fan along with whoever posted that video. I even had a poster in my room.

font class="post"1b,121b,121But aren't most of the weak songs you ride for based on nostalgia?b,121I mean, I wouldn't ride for George Michael in any way (no pasue), yet I still really like the Freedom '90 song. Why? Because i'd just started college when it came out, was dating, drinking, going out and having fun and that song was a huge hit and reminds me of many good times.
I don't think so. Would it follow that songs you ride for nostalgia are all weak? (rhetorical)b,121And what's the time limit on nostalgia because that Jenna/Drake song is less than five years old. b,121I'm thinking the song is considered weak because it isn't that soulful and/or well-arranged and/or unique and/or the genre is not your thing, but this one song that is "weak" on paper hits you in the right spot for whatever reason. To be honest, if I like it, it's not weak to me, you know? Kinda like I don't believe in feeling guilty about pleasures. b,121I'm just going along with the gang here.
