oldbass Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Struth where to start. For me its all about 70,s analogue and damn good old skool studio playing. ie Sheena Eastons Modern Girl, good precise bass playing by goodness knows who and clean production. Andy Gibbs Everlasting Love....Maurice Gibbs superbly accurate playing on this one Stevie Wonders Isnt She Lovely etc etc....I could go on. Cheese in spades....but all great tunes.

Roger2611 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ok so here's one that's probably off piste to many but Voyage Voyage by Desireless the finest of French cheesy pop, no actually possibly my favourite song ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylie Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1486549048' post='3232605'] Recently I have been listening to "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi. Cheesy as hell but I love listening to it, and singing it in the car at full volume. I would never play it on bass or want it in any set but I still cant get enough of that cheese. Anyone else have any cheesy song secrets? [/quote] "You Light Up My Life," Debbie Boone. Please don't tell anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I love this song. In this version, Paul's voice sounds great. However, the video is rubbish, and more importantly, the keyboard melody line at the key change is quite possibly the most gratingly awful thing in a pop song - really atonal. http://youtu.be/SgnjwUMPCgA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
