Confession time: "unhip," "uncool" music you're embarrassed to admit liking.

Leaving out the house a little while ago my neighbor who never pays his music loudly was playing the studio version of this really loud this morning

And coincidentally, the guy at the store was listening to METV music and singing along to this

There is a really nice cover version of this by Al Green.

Yes, Al's version is quite amazing

Not a high point in the career of either Nas or Ginuwine, but it's a guilty pleasure of mine:

Now on to the question. I love power ballads. They bring tears to my eyes and make me want to get a candle every time. Every. Time.

The video is actually pretty fun.

The Bay City Rollers had a hit with this Dusty Springfield song

I was watching one of those true crime shows recently about Lou Perlman and I thought about this song. It probably the only Backstreet Boys I can hum the melody to.

I'm sure I mentioned this in a different thread...all these 90's boy bands exist because of New Kids on the Block, who don't exist without New Edition who don't exist without the Jackson 5.

I um used to play the cassettes that came with the dolls when I was a kid much to my brothers dismay.

I don't think I can embed videos from other sites. These videos aren't on YouTube, but they are on Vimeo.

I was (still am) a huge Nena fan. The German group was best known for their '84 hit "99 Luftballons/ 99 Red Balloons".

This song was their follow - up to their first big single, but it didn't take off at radio. The video did get some play on MTV.

Nena released their second album, titled "It's All In The Game". A video was made for the title track, but like "Just a Dream", it didn't get airplay on American radio.

I like the rotoscoping here. And I used to think it was funny that the bad girls are a "punk" band called the Misfit but there was a real life punk band with the same name.
