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?

ABBA

Neil Diamond

Milli Vanilli before the scandal

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

dissention · #13 07-14-2005, 12:59 PM

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.

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.
