Top 10 Incredibly Cheesy But Still Awesome Songs

Yes, many of these are from the good OLD days of pop music, and for good reason
The Top Ten
1 Careless Whisper - George Michael

Let's be honest, it's musically one of THE most beautiful songs ever composed and that's a fact

This song is actually a bit cheesy, but it's still one of my favorite songs.

This one probably fits the definition of the list the best.

Best song of all time

2 Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode

Anyone else think that the singer of this song sounds almost exactly like a lower-pitched Rick Astley?

Another song that is one of my favorites.

3 As - Stevie Wonder

If you thought that Stevie's love obsession was already rather egregious in many of his other songs, this one talks about his relationship with his lover LITERALLY as if the entire universe and every single rule of logic within completely revolves around it

4 Thriller - Michael Jackson

ESPECIALLY its music video

5 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Theme - Ron Wasserman
6 America, F*** Yeah - Team America
7 Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson

"No other song could have been any sappier"

This song actually has a great message.

8 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

I would probably consider this to be officially THE most overrated "unanimous legendary classic" song of all time (with Radiohead's Paranoid Android quite honestly being a VERY close second) and it's overproduced as hell, but the sheer amount of heart that the song has poured into it probably makes up for it in my opinion (which is of no consequence at all)

9 Through the Fire and Flames - DragonForce

"Generic but grandiose" is a more apt way of describing it

10 Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
The Contenders
11 Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

I don't see how this song is cheesy. It was really well written, and the band put a great amount of effort in recording it.

My love for this song is vengeance that's never free

12 Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Singing Like a Woman

13 Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
14 Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
15 Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack
16 Naturally - Selena Gomez
17 Long Live - Taylor Swift
18 Levitating - Dua Lipa

It took me surprising amount of time to realize how ridiculously cheesy this song is. Just read any line.

19 Steal My Sunshine - Len
20 I Knew You Were Trouble - Lostprophets
21 Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead

This song has a little too much of that eighties vibe, but I like it more than most of the other stuff from 1987. I think that Robert Hunter's lyrics help redeem the song.

22 Uprising - Muse
23 Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
24 Walking on the Sun - Smash Mouth
25 Changes - David Bowie
