In fact, I suppose there isn't any song I wouldn't take some degree of liking to if it was played purely instrumentally on a good 102 rank pipe organ... ;-)
You are right about the "silliness" factor - I wonder how much growing up with the 80's music contributed to my love of music that doesn't take itself seriously?
Oh, and btw - I'd love to get a copy of some of your compilations.
