Freebie paper Metro ran an interesting little piece today, about the "guilty secret" tracks we have stashed on our iPods, which we dare not admit to liking but can't help having buried in an obsure playlist:

- I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
- Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow
- Centrefold - J Geils Band
- Summer Of '69 - Bryan Adams
- Never Ever - All Saints

I was quite alarmed to learn that, of these top 30 (compiled by Q magazine), I actually have 8 on my mp3 player. Yikes! I'm not telling which, though. And thankfully, some of the naffest (#3, #5, #20 #22) are not on my playlists! ;-)

But I don't understand, these are all great songs...?
I see about ten or eleven I'd put on an iPod.
Glad it's not just me then!
Obviously the readers of Q magazine (from whence the poll came) have reasons to be ashamed of their musical tastes, but we don't!
