Guilty Secrets

According to the BBC news site, Q magazine conducted a survey recently to list the top ten uncool records it is okay to love. The list was topped by ELO with their 1976 song "Livin' Thing" (who knew - I thought "Mr Blue Sky" was a shoe in) and included "More Than A Feeling" by Boston (the perennial drive time and "Rock" compilation favourite) and "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty.

The list says more about the readers of Q magazine though than their guilty aural pleasures. They must be all in their 40s or 50s, used to be into Zep, and the Floyd and quite possibly saw Hendrix live. Think Saxondale without the anger management. You'll see what I mean when you see the Top 10 in full..

1. ELO - Livin' Thing

2. Boston - More Than A Feeling

3. S Club 7 - Don't Stop Movin'

4. 10cc - I'm Not In Love

5. Gary Glitter - Rock'n'Roll Part 2

6. Foreigner - Cold As Ice

7. Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

8. Status Quo - Whatever You Want

9. Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

10. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

I don't think a survey of people from my generation would look like that (although I have danced to the S Club 7 track in a very drunken state before, and that was very cathartic admitting that).

Has anyone got their own uncool song that they just love..?
