There are some songs I secretly play when I’m alone that I know would mark me as a) unsophisticated b) sappy and c) old.
But I love them nonetheless, perhaps because they entered my brain at an impressionable moment, perhaps because I have lousy taste but perhaps because the rest of the world hasn’t caught up with their awesomeness. Do you have songs like that?
Here’s my list. I’ve never before admitted my affection for these, so be gentle.

• Rocky Mountain High by John Denver
• Ring of Fire, version by Olivia Newton John
• I’ll Always Love You, Dolly Parton version
• Happy Together by the Turtles
• Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy
• The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia by Vicki Lawrence
• You’re the One That I Want from Grease (Olivia Newton John and John Travolta)
• Dark Lady by Cher
• Anything by Renaissance

Pretty embarrassing, eh?
Interestingly, there are some bands that would have been embarrassing, say, ten years ago but which are now kinda cool. Queen, Elton John and Billy Joel, for instance.
