This Mellow Gold has got to have a Mellow Gold edition on Kenny Loggins the ultra swooner, guitarist and healer. Please keep it up on your language.

This post has been very popular.

I think I might take my own advice and start a blog dedicated to these little pop treasures!

"The Things We Do for Love" is my favorite pop song of the 1970s, period. It’s a catchy melody, intricately developed, with terrific backing vocals that develop as the song goes one, a gorgeous two part chorus with a hook at "feeling like a part of you is dying", another at "in her eyes", and a spooky chord change into "ooh, you made me love you" — plus a fine intro and a coda that builds on the title line, still developing as it fades. It’s a perfect song.

I don’t mind saying I like "You Are The Woman". It is "wussy", but sometimes wussy is ok.
I also like "Just Remember I Love You" by Firefall.
Another favorite "wuss rock" song is 10cc - The Things We Do For Love
good stuff

What more needs to be said on "Easy N’ Cheesy Rock" playlist? Well, one that’s out of the era but should be included is James Blunt’s "You’re Beautiful." Oh, and anything by Five for Fighting.

With all due respect, you are all missing the wussiest, the wimpiest, the most emasculating song of all time. I give you: “(You Left Me) Just When I Needed You Most” by Randy VanWarmer.

If you’re not familiar with this song (which was a sizable hit in 1979), then you owe it to yourself — in the spirit of this thread — to give it a listen. You won’t be sorry ( translation: you WILL be sorry. )

There’s a great little essay about "guilty pleasures," and why that’s such a ridiculous, offensive concept, in the new Klosterman book. Buy it! Through Jason’s site, even!

Agreed Scraps, I have no guilty pleasures, just what I like and what I don’t. I’ve endured the complaints by my Too Cool friends for years when I’m digging on something like Elton John’s "Little Jeannie", Kenny Loggins "Heart to Heart", or Donald Fagen’s "I.G.Y.". Whatever, like super effing whatever. But my friends are cool about it, they know me and that I love those tunes. It wouldn’t matter either way, the songs hooked me long ago.
