Well, admittedly I grew up on AM radio in the 70s -with my formative years really being the early to mid 70s, so I grew up listening to a lot of Bread, Barry Manilow, the Carpenters, Carole King etc. right along side the likes of Stevie Wonder, Barry White, the Stylistics, and so on...
So yeah, I like a lot of wimpy songs... but at the same time, just because it's a ballad doesn't mean I'll like it. There's quite a few that were very popular that I find dreadful.
But that 70s sound of strings, organ, the "what-cha-ka-ta" guitar sound (listen to "Love's Theme" as a classic example) is firmly embeded in my psyche... which is why I enjoy "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago... that sound fits right in with that 70s sound -which is why it was such a hit.
