So yes, I'm sitting here watching VH1's "The 40 Most Awesomely Bad #1 Songs of All Time," and I admit, I LIKE some of these songs... so how do you rank these songs:
a) Awesome -- not bad at all.
b) Awesomely Bad -- yeah, it's a bad song, but so bad it's good
c) Secret Shame that you really like it.
d) Just Bad

(starts with the 1 and goes through 40.)
