Admit your questionable music taste here.

[progmom]

C'mon. I just admitted I like Destiny's Child. I watch VH1 Soul all the time. I didn't hate Mmmmmmbop. There are Snoop Dogg and Mystikal singles I could listen to over and over again. I liked Britney's "I'm A Slave 4 U".

What are your guilty pleasures?

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. I still play Wham! all the time...I'm devoted to the Thompson Twins,

Boy George kinda gets me. :hi:

[underpants]

2. Oasis, U2, Dave Mathews

[auntAgonist]

3. yanno

I like Freddy Fender. g'head , laugh ...

but..

If he brings you happiness :hi:



ahhhhh

[derby378]

4. Spooky Reuben

Only have one somg of his on a Wax Trax/TVT sampler. He's weird, but somehow compelling.

[MissMillie]

5. I'm a sucker for sappy songs

all kinds of sappy songs.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I was a big

Paul Revere and the Raiders fan when I was 12.



And I liked the Buckinghams too.



In 1967 or 1968, I went to a concert featuring The Buckinghams and The Who. I came home, threw out all my Buckinghams records and have been a huge Who fan ever since.

[seemunkee]

16. I loved the Raiders back then too

I went from them to Hendrix.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. A lot of us in our generation made some

strange leaps like that. LOL

[XNASA]

7. I like Britney's "Toxic"

I even tried to get our garageband to cover it. No go.

And Def Leppard too. I kinda liked them.

[Mad_Dem_X]

31. "...Baby One More Time" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy"

Both by Britney. I'm so ashamed!

On edit: While I'm confessing, may as well mention that I like a couple of N Sync songs. :shrug:

[NoSheep]

8. When I got a ukelele, I obtained Tiny Tim tapes. I kinda like it!

:crazy:

[BrotherBuzz]

47. If you pushed past 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips" -

you find Herbert Khaury, alias Tiny Tim (AKA: Julian Foxglove, Larry Love, Rollie Dell, Darry Dover, and Emmett Swink) had a huge repertoire of popular music from the teens and twenties. Crazy, like he knew hundreds and hundreds of songs. I think he could have pursued an academic music/history/Americana career because he knew that much about published music, yet ironically, knew almost nothing about the origin or roots of the music.

[NoSheep]

49. I got my tapes from an enthusiast. I really do like a lot of what I heard.

[SnowGoose]

9. Walking to work this morning, I listened to Tiny Tim

doing a cover of AC/DC's Highway to Hell.

Furthermore - I sang along (when noone was looking).

[Zuni]

10. Herman's hermits

:blush:

[tigereye]

50. yes, but that (Brit and American) pop from the 60s is classic!

:thumbsup:

[sundog]

11. joss stone

you already knew that :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. I don't have any questionable music tastes

except the Sound of Music, but I don't think your average American would think of that as questionable, although I do. But go figure. I love it.

[GalleryGod]

13. ABBA ABBA ABBA and I've seen Mama Mia! not once but

TWICE!

[stellanoir]

14. I have the theme song to

"Fractured Fairy Tales" on my answering machine. Does that qualify ?

[XNASA]

15. Since it's cool to begin with, I don't think it counts.

[hippiechick]

18. Argh ! They were playing that between sets at Bonnaroo !!

While they were doing take down/set up ... and I couldn't for the life of me remember where I knew it from !!!


:applause:

[seemunkee]

17. Enya

relaxing and good for Sunday AM sitting reading the paper before the rest of the family is up.

[WeRQ4U]

19. The XM Radio channel "The Heart"....

Just a bunch of crappy love songs by Air Supply, Foreigner, Christopher Cross, Phil Collins etc. Those songs suck so good.

[Shell Beau]

20. Kenny G and Barry Manilow.

No, just kidding. Although both are talented, their music is not for me. I liked some of Britney Spears songs like "Toxic". I am embarrassed to admit it too.

[hippiechick]

21. Bela Fleck -ish

bluegrassy/celtic-y/tribalish .... very odd, I am.


:freak:

[kwassa]

26. Fleck is nothing to be guilty about

Pre-eminent jazz banjo player.

[wideopen]

34. I love Bela Fleck!

I see him every time he comes to town, Victor Wooten rocks too!

[Cannikin]

22. I LOVE 80s music. I listen to little else

[kmla]

33. Me, too.

I really enjoy when they get into deep new wave cuts. (At least for me...) Like a good Peter Godwin tune. Or sumthin' like that.

However, I detest Laura Branigan. Bleh...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. I "heart" Kylie Minogue!

Some of the greatest music on the dancefloor today!

[kwassa]

25. Mariah Carey, but I soon got over that

I bought her first album on the basis of the "Vision of Love" single, which is, of all things, a blues song, very torchy. Soon the massive overproduction, and oversinging on this album got to me. She has gone straight to pop whoredom, too, with her new fake breasts and conspicuous lack of taste.

She does have major pipes, though.

[pscot]

27. Bow Wow Wow

Annabelle used to make me crazy.

[Beware the Beast Man]

28. Erasure- a newfound guilty pleasure.

It's just so campy and dramatic, I can't help but sing along in the car.

[scarlet_owl]

29. I admit it. I like Anne Murray.

[Squeech]

30. Yes

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out and out
We'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love I'll be there with you...

I love this twaddle, objectively meaning-challenged as it is. And don't even get me started on Tales from Topographic Oceans.

[Dukkha]

32. Journey & Boston

As cheesy as they were, there's still raw Rock & Roll talent there. Tom Sholtz & Neal Schon were great guitarists too.

[warrens]

35. The Monkees

Their first three albums were great. But embarassing even at the time.

[progmom]

38. there is nothing wrong with loving the monkees

:hi:

[Zuni]

43. if loving the monkees is wrong...

I don't wanna be right :patriot:

[RebelOne]

36. Yanni, I love Yanni. n/t

[Burma Jones]

37. Neil Diamond

Soundtrack to Jonathan Livingston Seagull
I know I shouldn't, but I like it.

Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth
There was no other reason needed for punk

[qnr]

46. Neil Diamond is great. I love Journey to the Center of the Earth too -

and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table too.

[tjwmason]

39. The Beach Boys

Perhaps not questionable in and of itself - but when put alongside a C.D. collection which in the most part is either pre-1650 or modern classical (atonal and highly obscure) - it does rather stand out. I managed to shock my entire family by recognising one of their songs in a restaurant a wee while ago.

Occasionally (as now) for the sheer ridiculous nature of it, I play a C.D. of Wurlizter organ music (that's the old style theatre organ) - we're currently on a medley with "Let's face the music", "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails", "You were never lovelier", and "Cheek to Cheek".

[tigereye]

51. I wouldn't call that questionable

but I'm a 60's kid.

[tjwmason]

54. Not so much that it's questionable

It just sits a wee bit oddly alongside Olivier Messiaen, and Josquin des Prez.

There's a great sense of life and fun to it, which is what attracts me.

[qnr]

40. Boney M, Yanni, Tangerine Dream, Alan Parson's Project n/t

[sakabatou]

44. "And I shall call it, 'the Alan Parson's Project'"

I don't know Tngerine Dream, but I know a song by the same name.

[qnr]

45. Synth band, started buying them because they used Atari STs, many years

ago. Excellent music (well, in my opinion)

http://www.tangerinedream.org/

Edit: s/using/buying/

[sakabatou]

48. Tangerine Dream by Do As Infinity ka D*A*I

[2008]

41. Britney's 1999 debut CD

I like every song on it. Yes, I'm ashamed.

[sakabatou]

42. Backstreet Boys

>_<

[tigereye]

52. Sheryl Crow

Coldplay ( runs to hide)
Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. Actually KImberly Rew played on that, so maybe not so questionable.

[BlueIris]

53. I can listen to most pop music on the radio and not hate it all

the time. With a few notable exceptions. R. Kelly. Limp Bizkit...not that I've heard from them lately, thank God.

There, that's my big confession.

My friends, such as they are, would disown me if they knew.
