asimplechordSeriously. It's one of those cheesy things that I love, and don't talk about.
What? you're asking. (Or maybe you're thinking, Whoa, bad taste.)
This confession stems from an email convo w/ J, related to a blog-post suggesting that a review that says "I think this isn't a good book" does not necessarily mean "I think you are stupid", but is often interpreted to. It shouldn't, though, because we all like different stuff, the good, the bad, the ugly, the really really cheesy. So we started listing stuff we like that is perhaps not culturally high-brow.
I like fanfiction more than regular fiction most days, so that's first on my list.
What do you like/enjoy/remember fondly that's cheesy or dorky or silly? TELL ME!
My list (will be edited as I think of them):
Wham!
M*A*S*H
My So-Called Life
General Hospital (back when Jack Wagner was on it)
Batman, the tv series
Star Trek
Melrose Place (don't try to tell me none of you ever watched it in horrified fascination; it was like a slutty train wreck waiting to happen)
Extreme (shut up; Nuno Bettencourt's acoustic guitar was awesome live)
BonJovi (don't EVEN look at me like that; Jersey bands rock!)
DefLeppard (I was addicted to hair bands in high school and college. WHAT? They did some good live shows too!)

Hee, the boyband before NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Why don't they get the same love that the other pop-boys get, I wonder?
