Music / Songs You're Embarrassed to Like

[Mr. Bee]

Yes, a self-loathing thread. I know we're all music snobs, but there has to be songs that the general high-brow music-loving public abhorrs that you just can't stop listening to. Now's the time to come clean.

I'll start.

I love A New Found Glory - their singer is terrible, their composition and lyrics are so amateur, but they're one of the few artists that I still actually BUY from when they release anything.

That one Eiffell 65 Album - I've had it on my iPod since I bought an iPod and it will never, ever leave although I can understand how terribly bad it is.

East Bound and Down - Jerry Reed

Mr. Bee - I do believe the US Men have been to a World Cup or 2.....but I imagine this is for a new addition to your family so Mazel Tov.

I'll get back to this thread re: the topic when I decide.....

--Three 6 Mafia f/ 8 Ball & MJG--Stay Fly. Though I'm not quite sure that I am embarrassed about it.

I've always sort of liked Neil Diamond. (I won't even admit that to my wife)

[Achtung]

Well, if it means "CDs I can't quite bring myself to sell"

Savage Garden
Hootie... yep, that's right

Oh and I like the past two Kelly Clarkson singles.

[Mr. Bee]

Hootie... yep, that's right

No reason to be embarrassed about that, if its their one good CD

He wrote so many good songs, it's not even funny.

I'll do you better, I love all 80's hair metal, from Photograph to Ratt, to Winger, to White Lion, and I'm actually not ashamed to admit it.

Regarding the thread, I actually like My Chemical Romance and Fallout Boy stuff.

I never understood why people would be embarrassed about the music they like.

If you like it, great. If you don't, great.

Who cares if a song is done on a computer with a drum machine or orchestrated out with a seventy piece symphony? if it entertains you, then listen to it and be proud of it.

I have musical taste that many people think is terrible. Doesn't bother me. I would much much rather listen to concocted pop music than the Beatles any day of the week. I got no problem admitting that. Why is it so bad to like music that musical snobs deem bad?

ditto...but I am not ashamed...Neil Diamond kicks ass....most of his catalog.

I, personally,celebrate Michael Bolton's entire catalog....so many hits...:p just kidding, I don't.

[Val1]

Not that I'm really embarrassed, because I agree with Amerifolkguy, but I did get a lot of grief in high school for liking Linda Ronstadt.

I've also taken grief for liking the Carpenters, but that don't fly because Karen Carpenter may have had the best voice in women's popular music.

Over/Under on a John Mayer song, 22 posts.

[Purr4Pires]

oh my....embarrassed to say
Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin :o

[nicodemus]

311

[Nanbawan]

Super Trooper by ABBA. :o

Wait ! I have a valuable explanation (excuse), this is one of my first musical memories.

I like various japanimation OST, songs. Well, it's not the kind of thing you tell to people before knowing them...

There's also this unpleasant reality that you also sometimes come to like what's been planned by the music industry to become a big selling tune, you then realise that you're no better than the others ! :(

Yet, you're still above buying them thanks to your superior moral principles ! :D

[rokstedy]

Weird Al Yankovic and uh, a few of Spice Girls songs.

[BayernWake]

Not really "embarrassed" about it, but I like

Counting Crows: August and Everything After

Dave Matthews Band: Under the Table and Dreaming

several Lil Wayne tracks
