that is the most difficult question ever posed on this board. However, there is good cheese and there is bad cheese. And...

quote:

Will to Power - Baby, I love your way/FREEBIRD Medley

Is the worst kind of cheese. Gawd that was an awful song then, now, and forever.

Even cheesier was when the local DJ's would edit out the radio station voiceover in the original song and put in their own

yep. I still get thrown off when I don't hear B97's voiceover when that song comes on.

Safety Dance, good cheese in my book. It's hard not to arms in an 'S' motion when this songs comes on.

My book as well.

But then, most 80's songs have a warm place in my heart since I actually grew up then and remember when they were brand new.

But...We Built This City...is perhaps the worst song ever written.

Anything by Huey Lewis FTW, but this one might be the cheesiest

What is the cheesiest 80's song.

I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey, dinky, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the twilight zone

I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
Well is the mailman watching me
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now--- (BOO!) -The IRS?

My favorite part is the Swedish sounding chick in the background.

That Aldo Nova sounded like a bad cover of a bad Starship song.

Is "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode considered cheesy? Because I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but I think that's a pretty sweet song.
