    What are some of your guys' favorite songs that are overplayed on the radio? For me, it's Fergie. God damn she's ugly, but there's something about her that's sexy. (Yes, I know...she peed her pants, don't need to bring it up). Glamorous is that ****.

    If you don't like any trendy songs, than don't post. There is no need to say something negative.

    Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" - I bought the album and rather enjoyed it.

    I never got into Gnarls Barkley. The rest of my family though, is absolutely in love with their music.

    There is a song called "2 Step Bhangra" that was getting airplay in Toronto and gaining recognition. It's a half Punjabi half English song that had even the non-Indians boppin to it.

    lol, in Canada the Arcade Fire is actually mainstream now. So I'll pretty much pick anything from them.

    That's cool. I'm not a huge fan, but I like it. I think they present something really original.

    Oh yeah, they're pretty original. I never checked out the full album, how would you rate it?

    Um... today, nothing really, unless you want to consider RHCP "trendy."

    If you mean like a pop, emo, dance, etc. song, then I honestly don't like any of what's out there now, which is a shame, because some of the pop from the mid-90's when I was in school was great (no, not the Backstreet Boys and all that bullshit, but like Ace of Base, Third Eye Blind, ATC, Weezer, Beck, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Jamiroquai, etc. Those groups were my "guilty pleasures" back in the day; the kind of groups that you'd only listen to when you were absolutely sure no one else could hear you playing them but enjoyed for whatever reason none the less.)

    I agree entirely with you VC, the music back then wasn't shameful to listen to as the majority of stuff is nowadays. I liked a few of Eagle Eye Cherry's tunes myself.

    I would rate St. Elsewhere at 8/10. A lot of experimental stuff and plenty of tracks you won't be skipping to get to your favorite(s). The album cover booklet is really cool as well.

    Also, they may be on the radio and all over the television, but surely haven't allowed all that BS to change who they are.

    A while back I downloaded all the songs that I "grew up on", as in, before I was picky about what genres I listen to and what not. Not counting BSB and NSync, the songs from 1997-2001 were awesome for me in all honesty. Hearing them again just reminds me of the days when I was a kid. It wasn't even really the words or whatever, but the tune of some of the songs were great to just chill and listen to. It brought back a lot of memories.

    Next - Too Close, Weezer - Island In The Sun (I know, not that old), Blur - Song 2, Maddona - Frozen, The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job, Pretty Fly, etc. Yeah, they were pop songs, but they were all still enjoyable IMO. Nowadays, I haven't been feeling much of the "pop" in the mainstream, and most of the radioplay songs are either hiphop, r&B crossovers, or straight rock. I enjoy listening to Daniel Beddingfield though, although I don't think he's that trendy [​IMG].

    Well, I think his recent songs are nice (2002 - present); I didn't really listen to him in the NSync days.

    Yeah I like Justin Timberlake too, "My Love" and "Like I Love You" mainly, since he went all R&B.

    If you have guilty pleasures, you're listening to music for the wrong reason. I'm currently diggin'

    Fergie Feat. Ludacris - Glamorous
    Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around
    Young Jeezy Feat. R. Kelly - Go Getta
    Lily Allen - LDN
    Timbaland Feat. Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake - Give It To Me
    Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up

    In related news, I watched NSYNC's I Want You Back video a few hours ago. 'Twas good fun!

    I absolutley hate Lily Allen, she has the worst voice I've ever heard, and her songs are so stupid.

    lmao, she actually has some very clever lyrics. tbh I'm not into her, but as far as "trendy songs" go, she's a lot better to me than fergie [​IMG]

    All these (current mainstream) songs are terrible, but I can't believe Sasha said he/she liked that Gwen Stefani "Wind it up" song. And you said Cornell was a bad singer? Christ.
