In my car I have a playlist of a few hundred tracks that are all good for singing along to or tapping the steering wheel to - I leave it in shuffle mode, and if I'm not in the mood for a particular track I just skip to the next one. But there are a few track in that list that stand out as especially 'catchy' - even in a playlist of my favourites they're in a league of their own for 'catchiness'. I think it's the combination of a strong beat and an irresistible melody. So I thought I'd see what tracks everyone else finds 'catchy'. Maybe I can update my playlist with some of the suggestions.
To get the ball rolling, here are some examples:
Bee Gees - You Win Again
Take That - Shine
Supertramp - It's Raining Again
Roy Orbison - You Got It
What can you add?

Yep - that fits the bill. I was never a fan of Alf myself, but as soon as I read your post that track was in my head! Originally Posted by castalla

I've started an LMS playlist with just these tracks.
I added 'Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow'

I'm a huge Queen fan, so I fully agree. Especially WWRY/WATC. My car playlist has them both, but alas they rarely play together. Maybe I should just make a single track from the two of them. Originally Posted by Wirrunna
