underrated songs/guilty pleasures

kentaddick

Hopefully bit of a segway from the underrated artists, this one is more of a artists/bands you never usually listen to, hate all their other stuff but just can't help loving one of their songs.

Mine are pretty girl/boyband-y. All Saints - Pure shores and Five - Keep on moving are absolute bangers.

All About You by Mcfly.  Never gets the credit it deserves as an individual song.
I'd go so far as to say, if the Beatles had written it, it would be an all time classic

Great song

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that Segway is a brand name for a motorised stand up scooter thing. 

Segue is pronounced the same! 

I discovered this during an episode of Pointless last year. 

As for the question - I like Pet Shop Boys songs. And Simply Red. But I don’t feel guilty! Something got me started, screw anyone who tells me otherwise.

In the context of the previous album that song (and the rest on Daisies) is a jaunty beam of hope!
