Everything by Bucks Fizz
Why do I love Bucks Fizz? For the same reason I love 999, The Dickies, Spandau Ballet, AFOS, Fischer Z, The Beatles, Zeppelin, ELO, etc.: their songs are catchy as sin. Even when Bobby G sounds like Richard Marx on "You And Your Heart So Blue", I love it...and I hate Richard Marx!
Yes, Bucks Fizz is like buying a crate of velveeta cheese and cramming it in your ears. It's a gooey good time!

Yeah Bucks Fizz - I liked "I Hear Talk."
Looking at others choices for cheese, I guess I must be awfully lame because I like so many of those songs & never knew they were cheesy!
I have a soft spot for Debbie Gibson - especially "Lost in Your Eyes."

Since we are baring our musical souls here:
Chicago--Hard Habit To Break
Al Jarreau--Theme from Moonlighting (I know, I know...)
Bob Segar--Shame on the Moon (always a sucker for 2 and 3 part harmony)
Christopher Cross--Sailing (mostly the intro..)
Dennis Deyoung --Desert Moon (Dennis ranks high of the "king of Cheese" to me)
Eddie Money-Take Me Home Tonight
George Michael and Aretha Franklin-I knew you were waiting for me
GTR--When the Heart Rules the Mind (I know, painful)
Add me to the list as a unabashed Hall and Oates fan. Cheesy, but they could write some hooks
Julian Lennon-Valotte
Kenny Loggins (!) and Steve Perry (!!)--Don't Fight It
Kool and the Gang -Misled
Le Roux-Nobody Said it Was Easy
Manhattan Transfer--Soul Food to Go (what I said above about vocal harmony)
Pat Benetar-Invincible
Ric Ocasek-Emotion in Motion (Don't know if this counts as "cheese" or not)
Tina Turner-Better be Good to Me (hey Cy Curnin co wrote it...)
Well I'm off to a Priest to confess another 20 years of sin..[:o)]

Holly Knight wrote it. She is a master of 80's cheese:
Scandal - The Warrior
Animotion - Obsession
Pat Benetar - Love is a Battlefield
John Waite - Change
and a host of other bombastic psuedo rock.

Holy crap Holly Knight's got cheese oozing out of her pores in buckets.
See the list of songs she's written here (with the caveat "you can't 100% trust wikipedia"):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_Knight
Sample away here (from her website), and grab some crackers:
http://www.hollyknight.com/sound.html
I knew about "Obsession"-- I like the version she recorded with Michael Des Barres.
Didn't know about Divinyls' "Pleasure and Pain".

<br>Wham, Fantastic!

Damn, I thought I was the only one that remember these two pieces of Velveeta. But they are certainly tasty pieces of Velveeta. "Ray of Sunshine" and "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light" are two songs that stand out for me from Fantastic!
