Hello my imaginary friends.
What songs are there that you really don't like, perhaps in genres you don't like, where you listen to the drumming and think "Ooooh....I like that!" And then feel a bit dirty, but not in a good way.
As we're among friends here, I'll kick off with this:

To avoid Rick Rolling anybody, it's the Bee Gees "Night Fever". I loathe the cheesy falsetto vocal, I detest the bloaty arrangement, I really don't like disco at all, but I like the drum track. Nothing complex, just enough wrinkles in there to keep it interesting. And for a newb such as I, with less than a year's drumming, it strikes me as a good track to learn to play...and I will.
The youtube version I chose may cause damage to your ears, but damage to your eyes is minimised by my choice of a vid which only has a still of an album sleeve. It's bad enough, but at least there is no backlit, blow dried, shiny, shoulder length Bee Gee coiffure to deal with.
So, just in case this isn't enough to get my posting privileges revoked, what's your Song of Shame?
