The Songs We Can't Admit We Like

Sky News Wednesday August 2, 02:54 PM

Hits by the likes of Status Quo and S Club 7 are among the Top 50 tracks people are too embarrassed to admit they own. Q magazine's Top 10 includes Rebel Yell by Billy Idol and Rock & Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter and Quo's Whatever You Want. Barbra Streisand's epic Woman In Love, Devil Woman by Sir Cliff Richard and I Could Be So Good For You by Minder star Dennis Waterman also make the list.

But the top spot goes to the Electric Light Orchestra with their 1976 hit Livin' Thing.

"ELO

may never be fashionable, but in terms of sheer aural elation, this betters more revered bands' entire back catalogues," said Q.

More Than A Feeling by Boston was second, followed by S Club 7.

Also hiding away in the Top 50 were Ronan Keating's Life Is A Rollercoaster, Letter From America by The Proclaimers and Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin.

Q said: "They're the records it's OK to love."
