Share your Guilty Pleasure Modern/Pop Song in your archive

[mononoaware]

I am sure a lot of users have this, that one or few songs which simply does not fit in with the rest of your audio archive.

Sounds almost like a song that you would hear on the radio (or is at least mastered in such a way), and you enjoy playing it on your system once in awhile.

Maybe you need to fill that mid-bass void, or maybe you need that "manufactured/processed" music to balance things out. . .

Here are mine (a few of these play almost twice as loud as other files so be warned):

Charlie XCX feat. Troye Sivan - 1999(Stripped)

Gryffin feat. Ivy Adara - Bye Bye (Acoustic)

Halsey feat. Juice Wrld - Without Me

Halsey - Finally//Beautiful Stranger

Maggie Lindemann - Would I

-

Thats it just 5 songs.

The next closest thing to modern type music would be anything by "The Midnight", in which case I consider the sound to be "nostalgic" or "retro" rather than "modern".
Also all 6-7 albums are in the archive so it is not exactly "unusual" and it does have its place in the collection.

I don't like Country Western music. But If Ella Fitzgerald sang a Country Western song, I couldn't stop listening . . . but then felt guilty . . .

My library is full of good quality pop music from the 50’s through to today. I’ve never considered it but perhaps that makes me an outlier here, who knows.

I apologise I did not account for the vice/versa in the original post.
In your case maybe unusual audio files would be Country/Bluegrass/Folk/Insert-Genre-here etc?

When I was a younger man I detested Abba, The Bee Gees and Queen.

Now I sing along, and (with apologies to George Ivan Morrison) would like to be cheerful again.

A much-missed TV series that contains some great (& close to the 'edge') songs.
This one has the bonus of providing the best ever reason for keeping vinyl

Lorde - Solar Power for me.
