Yes, Jesse, there is SOME music we would like to forget going Ga Ga over.
Open You Tube, and check out a few of these.

Bubble Gum music.... It was "supposed" to be geared to the 11 to 15 year-old crowd, but some of us teens (and even later) got into it.

S' plain to see... you guys jus' don' know good music when you hear it. I mean, after all, Hang on Sloopy was considered Bubble Gum.

bubble gum music is about the same as Pat Boone singing "tutti frutti "

I always liked the McCoys.
I saw them live in 1968 backing up the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Rick Derringer had already started with his new style of music which came with a mixed reaction (I thought it was great).
I call this next song "Graduation Day" for Rick Derringer.
