janradderA Song That is a Guilty Pleasure
I am such a sucker for pop hooks. It doesn't really matter who the band is or what the song's about -- if there's a pop hook, I'm sold. I don't have much to say about the Go Go's "How Much More," except that it fits right into that mold. I do prefer the album version, mostly because you can't hear when Gina Schock switches to the floor tom in the chorus as well in the live version (which, to me, is one of the best moments in the song), but also because you realize what a bad singer Belinda Carlisle can be as she goes flat over and over. I couldn't find the album version, though. Even so, it's still a great song.
