Bands you like....But maybe shouldn't....

[seeker007nmss]

I got the weirdest look at work when Ace of Base came on the system and I said I liked them. (The fact I knew who they were got the looks I think). Who do you like that gets a double take? :eek:

[skcin]

ABBA

Neil Diamond

Milli Vanilli before the scandal

[wondergirl9847]

I like Ace of Base....have their first album. I'm not ashamed of any bands/singers I like. I get weird looks for liking FM, The Monkees, boy bands and Justin Guarini. I wore this N'Sync shirt the other day and got some double-takes. LOL It's a cute shirt with them as cartoons.

Whatevah.

[Pisces Queen]

I know there are many Brittany Spears haters but damn I love her. Not so much her but her last album is still in my CD player. :rolleyes:

[wondergirl9847]

I like some Britney tunes, with Stronger being a fave. I only own her first album, no GH or anything. I will probably go get Stronger and a few others off iTunes since I have some credit.

Don't care for her as a person, especially after her marriage to Cletus, but some of her songs are pretty fun. I did hear some of her "singing" on the radio after some HBO special or something and YOWZA...stick to the lip-synching, PLEASE.

[DrummerDeanna]

I am guilty of keeping Ace of Base on the radio when they come on :p

Lets see...I get weird looks for:

Dolly Parton - why? She is awesome!!!

[HomerMcvie]

Hall and Oates
Journey
Restless Heart

[chiliD]

70's "Progressive Rock" bands (such as: ELP, Yes, King Crimson I, Gentle Giant, Nektar, Synergy, Triumvirat, PFM, early Genesis, Procol Harum, etc)

[catinthedark]

Just last night... out with some friends.. and Kelly Clarkson came on. "My guilty pleasure," I said. The whole table went quiet.

:shocked:

But I confess... also to liking N'Synch and the Backstreet Boys.

[skcin]

^ LOVE Kelly Clarkson!

Backstreet & N Sync not so much

[dissention]

Neil Diamond


When has Neil Diamond ever been uncool? This is news to me. :laugh:

[HomerMcvie]

When has Neil Diamond ever been uncool? This is news to me. :laugh:
My girlfriend in HS loved Neil Diamond. We always made fun of her, and told her only 40yo HOUSEWIVES listen to Neil!

[dissention]

White Stripes. Gawd, they're bad, but some of their stuff is addicting.

I got weird looks when I bought Loretta Lynn's last album last year, and every time I browse the country section, I can see people staring at me as if I'm pissing on the CDs. I get laughs when someone is with me and I play Bette Midler in my car. Don't know why they laugh, I'm usually playing The Rose soundtrack and it kicks ass.

[skcin]

When has Neil Diamond ever been uncool? This is news to me. :laugh:


I never got the memo either. :shrug:

Can't wait to see him in August!

[amber]

well, i tend to be steeped in deep shame whenever any of the classic stadium rock guys come on and I have to sing. But - I submit - The wheel in the sky does keep on turnin, and that's more than a feeling, guys - more than a feeling. :D

[dissention]

My girlfriend in HS loved Neil Diamond. We always made fun of her, and told her only 40yo HOUSEWIVES listen to Neil!

My grandmother was a Diamond fanatic. She didn't like music very much, but when it came to Diamond, she was as passionate as some of these Stevie fans. She was the same way with Midler. I still have all of her memorbilia in a box somewhere, it was truly insane.

[estranged4life]

The Bee Gees (Don't give a ****, A good song is a good song is a good song!!!)

Three Dog Night

ABBA

The B-52's

[Janet]

Oh most to what I listen to.

Um, FM would be considered a guilty pleasure really. I tell the younger, hip kids that I like FM and they are like, THEY SUCK.

But I love ABBA, Ace of Base, Journey, Styx and sooooo many more. Like Amber said, I love those stadium rock bands from the 70's, early 80's.

[trackaghost]

Neil Diamond is also my guilty pleasure.

[StevieNicksEO17]

The B-52's

I love them! :o

Ace of Bace
Aqua :shocked:
Christina Aguilera (I have no idea why...)
Chumbawamba (WOOO TUBTHUMPING!)
Destiny's Child (Stevie's shows got me addicted to Bootylicious)
Savage Garden
Wilson Phillips

There is my list of shame. :cool:

[trackaghost]

The B-52's

The B-52s are seriously, seriously cool! There's nothing shameful at all about liking them, they were one of the best New Wave bands.

[hayley]

I never got the memo either. :shrug:

Can't wait to see him in August!
DITTO! United Center in August. WOOT! (suck it, Greg!#*@)($)

Today, I was in Wal-Mart and had to force myself to put down the Keith Urban album I was about to buy. For some that might not be a big deal- he IS talented, believe me, I know- but if anyone saw me with that? They'd be shocked. My shame was reinforced when I got back in the car and my changer switched from Belle and Sebastian to Kings of Convenience.

Anyhow, for the most part, I'm ashamed of nothing. Neil, Fleetwood Mac, my obsession with old school country, etc.

[dudden22]

For a song I get weird looks for liking Kenny Roger's The Gambler I love it even though I loathe country music.

Neil Diamond and Carly Simon for performers

[Wild_Heart03]

I can shamelessly say that I love Ace of Base AND *N Sync! :nod:

As a matter of fact, *N Sync was my first concert in 1999.

Ah, I see (said the blind man...)

I once upon a time owned a Maiden album. Yes it's true. And I had a leather jacket too :nod:

[CreepingDeath]

My hall of shame:

Bon Jovi :o
Motely Crue (older stuff)
Journey
Duran Duran
The Scorpions

[hayley]

(The Keith Urban disc, Which one was it "Be Here" or "Golden Road"?) I am very sure you wouldnt be disappointed.
It was "Be Here" because of my monster affection for "You're My Better Half."

I know his music is great for what it is. I just... listening to old school country was a big step for me, and although now it's my favorite genre- I have a hard time coming to terms with new country. Although I do love Gretchen.

[GypsySorcerer]

Hall and Oates
Journey
Restless Heart

I like all of them too. And Alabama. :cool:

[estranged4life]

I once upon a time owned a Maiden album.

the 1985 "Live After Death" double vinyl, Which I kept in immaculate condition (Still have the original full-sized tour booklet that came with that album).

Hell, Growing up I had my bedroom from floor-boards to ceiling completely covered in Iron Maiden memorabilia (Even the ceiling as covered), I still own a bit of that stuff for nostalgic reasons.

[HomerMcvie]

I like all of them too. And Alabama. :cool:
That is SOOO funny!!! I almost put Alabama, too, but I thought to myself, "everyone's gonna think you're a redneck if you list Alabama!" :lol: :lol: :lol:

his music IMHO is more rock than actually country...I dont consider him "new-country" at all. He is primed for a major crossover to rock (His concerts are "rock shows", plain/pure and simple...I'm sure Wondergirl/Christy will concur with me, I kinda turned her on to KU awhiles back.)

Little bit of lovin' on the Mason Dixon line......
I've seen Alabama 4 times, and Restless Heart twice. RH are SUCH a talented band! If Larry Stewart only hadn't gotten the big head, and jumped ship at their peak. He's back now, of course. The band now tells a story about his solo career, then says, "now, we're going to do Larry's medley of hit!" Get it, singular! :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Alright Already". His first three solo albums were good. The fourth one though, he got with Michael Omartian (Christopher Cross), who tried to turn him into adult contemporary. :eek: That's when he came back to Restless Heart. Their sound is still incredible. All you Ledgies wanna hear some REAL harmonies, check out Restless Heart's 5 part harmonies. Put's our beloved Mac's harmonies to shame.

Oh, yeah. I think I remember the video - wasn't he playing guitar on a bed or something? :laugh:

I was really into country groups for awhile. Restless Heart, Alabama, Sawyer Brown, etc.

Me too, I had a huge absence from FM. From about 1990-2000. Restless Heart and Alabama were played daily! OH! I forgot about Diamond Rio! But it seems like the country bands(much like FM) have been replaced by all the pretty bands(Urban,Rascal Flatts{I can't stand RF} etc)....

I listed to country a lot from 1990-1995. I still listed to FM but figured we'd never hear from them again. I can't stand Rascal Flatts, either.

Rascal Flatts singer is very talented, but HE HASN'T GOT A COUNTRY NOTE IN HIS BODY!!!!! He's singing R&B, new style, with all the little vocal inflections that everyone uses now, squeezing 20 notes into every word sang. It's craptacular, and it sure ain't country! Rant off now. I now, believe it or not, when not listening to FM, listen to old country like Hank Sr, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, etc...

It was NICE sharing these country thoughts with you!

Gotta mow now.... :(

Yep, a HUGE thanks to Brian for bringing up Keith here so I could become a die-hard fan. :)

Rock....fo sho! Yes, he was heavily influenced by country artists, but he was also influenced by Lindsey, FM, Mark Knopfler, AC/DC, CCR among a trazillion others. I love that Keith loves all types of music. I believe he once said, "There is no bad music, there's music you like, and music you don't." :cool:

BTW, ya'll are mentioning some of my faves here! Journey, Dolly Parton, BSB, N'Sync, Debbie Gibson. :nod:

[wondergirl9847]

I'm not that familar with Keith Urban, but his perfect hair and stubble immediately puts me off him. :sorry:

Sharon, hon, that's cool if he's not your type physically, but you should listen to some clips of his music. It's a great rock/country mix. He will blow you away in concert, he's amazing on the guitar, headbangs and his voice is strong too.

But you're right, I haven't heard his music and so on your recommendation I will definitely make an effort to check it out. :)

Barenaked Ladies
My cousin took me to a Barenaked Ladies show for my birthday. I was only a so-so fan until then. Their show was GREAT! REALLY entertaining. :woohoo:
Added: you know Steve, the humor in BNL's show is exactly why I like BR5-49. It's a party :woohoo: , not about cycles, and survival moves. It's about having a great time!

[catinthedark]

My cousin took me to a Barenaked Ladies show for my birthday. I was only a so-so fan until then. Their show was GREAT! REALLY entertaining. :woohoo:

The Barenaked Ladies used to play my college at lunch hours. I've seen them more times in my life than I could ever count. A few of them now live a few blocks away from me.

Same with Bran Van 3000 - went to school with them. They were like, my school band.

[wondergirl9847]

Thanks for those, Curtis! :xoxo:

Now, you gonna post his Playgirl pics, next?

You can't see *ahem* anything in them, and he is covered by his guitar. He jokes that it's lucky he doesn't play harmonica. :laugh:

According to a lot of my friends, my love for the 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant makes me a lame. They say that about FM too. Pssh. They can kiss my ass. :D

I love 60s jazz/motown. Ergo; Ann-Margret, The Ronettes, Dusty Springfield, Nancy Sinatra, The Supremes, etc. I also love Xtina and Kelly Clarkson, and I dig what I've heard from Gretchen Wilson. I love Jay Z, Eminem, and Kanye West too. I'm a proud dork! ^_^

[SteveMacD]

Wow, what an awesome Gram pic. He is one of my all-time faves. I listen to him everyday practically.

Gram's stuff introduced me to Emmylou and she really does have an incredible voice. Their harmonies are on Love Hurts are unsurpassed IMO.
Plus I've been listening to a lot of Elvis Costello lately, his early albums.
I'm totally jealous.

Have you bought the Gold album (2 cdisc)? Highly recommended. Creeque Alley & Midnight Voyage are two of my favorite songs, & I think the harmonies on Once Was A Time I Thought are maybe their best ever. I had planned on listing it on the song lengths thread since it's so short.
I've always wished that Fleetwood Mac would write a song like Creeque Alley, detailing the history of the band. That would rock if they coulfd get it under ten minutes. :nod:

- Jake

[wondergirl9847]

I only have the 20th Century Millenium CD. Creeque Alley is a trip..."and everyones gettin' fat except Mama Cass..."

That would rock if they coulfd get it under ten minutes.

BWAH!! With the author of Space Needle in the band...that ain't gonna happen. ;)

Just listened to Once Was a Time...on iTunes...I've never heard that before...those harmonies are gorgeous! I may have to get this Gold CD.

I especially love PP&M. Of course, Noel "Paul" Stookey WAS in my uncle's wedding LONG before PP&M. The Mamas & The Papas are also a favorite. One of my favorite albums is "Dave Mason & Cass Elliot" which has a classic '70s sound. You can almost hear the orange mushrooms on the wall paper!

Brandon Flowers is a Mormon? Wow, I obviously haven't read NME enough recently. I wouldn't have guessed that from their lyrics.

Not really a fan, but I thought the Killers were okay on Live 8. Snow Patrol were better though.
I have to say I got the latest Later With Jools Holland DVD and The Killers are on it, it's an early performance and Flowers looks completely different. Me thinks the record company did some restyling...

Ryan is the walking Flowers Encyclopedia, he could shed more light on his being a Mormon. :laugh: I cracked up when I first found it out. You don't hear of many Mormons these days, especially in cheesy mallpop bands.

I pawned off my copy of their album to a used record store a couple of days after I bought it. I think I traded it in for Western Wall by Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, actually. :laugh:

[PenguinHead]

Without an ounce of shame, I declare my love of...Make Believe Bands!!!! :angel:

The Monkees (sort of a real band, or at least they became one)

Was fascinated by them as a child of the early 1970's. Still dig them today.

I pawned off my copy of their album to a used record store a couple of days after I bought it. I think I traded it in for Western Wall by Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, actually. :laugh:
He is mormon, tho he defies the religion a lot by smoking and drinking. So he's a sometimes mormon. And he only has one wife (one female wife at least :lol: ).

[trackaghost]

Ooo I'm just reading about him here:

There's an argument at the bottom of the page over whether he's bisexual or not!

Mamas & The Papas are a favorite of mine - nobody I know listens to them
- Jake

Now, you know someone! I LOVE them. They are one of my favorites. I have all their DVDs, CDs, and vinyl. I love their harmonies, the band's attitude/presents, and the whole story behind that group. John was a genius, IMO. Michelle had the beauty. Cass had the voice and personality/stage presents. Denny had the voice and was quite handsome in his day. I'm reading "Papa John" right now. Very interesting book. I shamelessly love the Mamas and the Papas. :blob1: :blob2: :blob1: :blob2:

Erm, here he is with some Flowers. I think he needs a shave though.

I don't either, his real accent is sexy. He was on Charlie Rose (*gag*) and said that he likes to continue using the accents that he adopts for roles when he does publicity so that he doesn't confuse the audience. I love the man dearly, but he must seriously think we're dolts.

Well, one day, Chris and I were hanging out, and his pants looked too white to me, so, you know, I just started doodling...then when I was done I charged him a hundred bucks for my "artwork".

Hee. My sister & mom went to their show here last week and were trying to get me to go with them. (I didn't. I don't enjoy them. :P)

Verizon Wireless in Noblesville. They both said it was an awesome show. :)
I didn't know if they were still big enough(without Perry) to do Deer Creek(sorry, it'll always be DC to me). I thought maybe they were reduced to something like the Murat. I guess ALOT of people still want to hear those songs, Perry or not.

Yes, Stevie Augeri does sound eerily similar to Steve Perry. I have the Journey Live in Vegas DVD that was played on Direct TV for like a month straight. It's really great and I should break that puppy out and watch it again this weekend. :nod: Steve Perry's voice is amazing, and I wish he would tour with them.

No way, that band doesn't fit the category. They were always very highly regarded & very hip. You should feel absolutely no qualm about loving Roxy Music. No one in his right mind would fault you for it.

Roxy Music is amazing, one of my favorite bands. I tend to listen to "More Than This" on repeat when I'm down.

I was raised on Bryan Ferry's In Your Mind album... my dad and I used to dance around the house to "This Is Tomorrow." :)

I remember the first time I heard "More Than This" (on the radio)...I only heard the trail end of it (after the vocals had ended)...I knew that FMac's Tango album was on its way and thought it might've been a track from it. When I found out who it was, I bought Avalon immediately! And, as great as Avalon is, I later got their Flesh & Blood album...I think it is even BETTER than Avalon.

I also think that Karen Carpenter has an amazingly beautiful voice. All of her songs were soooo sad though. Of course, unforunately, she wasn't a very happy person, so I guess it suited her. That is probably why they were so real and emotional, because she was living it. :(

[Nico]

I swear to you, this is all true.

I have seen Ashlee Simpson in concert. And I liked it. A lot. Actually, I was cheering at the end. I liked all the songs she performed, even though I knew none of them prior to coming to the show. I liked her performance, her energy, and her attitude. She just seemed like a cool person. So now, I have absolutely no hate for her. She sounded fine, she was definitely singing live, and she just seemed so nice. There's just nothing there for me to hate. I understand all that SNL stuff, but, well, **** happens.

Why did I go to the concert? My cousin's daughter is 10, my boyfriend's niece is 7...for some miraculous reason they both had tickets to this show and they wanted me to take them. So I did the humane thing and, although slightly embarrassed by being seemingly the only person there totally clueless about anything AS-related, and not wearing a signature "Ashlee, You Make Me Wanna Lala" shirt, I still thought the show was great. And, like I said, I don't dislike her at all and think she's kind of cool.

So that's my story. I'm sure everyone here hates her and is secretly laughing at me for this confession, but I braved it. And now we shall move on. :p :laugh:
