Music Music You're Ashamed To Admit You Like

[zoobyshoe]

Back when Thriller first came out I loved it. I thought the "Billie Jean" dance was terrific, and I must have watched the zombie video 30 times.

In light of his later weirdness, I am careful not to mention this album as having been among my favorites. In fact, I will deny having just wrote it.

I also have all of Swing Out Sister's albums.
---
When I was in college it got out that one of my professors liked The Carpenters. He'd admitted it to someone. Karen Carpenter's voice did it for him. No one could make sense of it.
---
Worst of all, I guess, is that I like a fair amount of Wagner. I consciously avoid listening to it very often, though, because of the nasty associations. I feel callous if I let myself enjoy it.

 

[Cyrus]

What are you talking about, despite his wako behaivor, Jackson will forever be the king of pop. Thriller is STILL is a great song and music video.

 

[franznietzsche]

Well, let's go through my 2600+ song collection and see which artists I'll admit too, and which I'll deny to my grave:

Deny:
Nightmare of You
My Chemical Romance

Admit:

Everything else (i'm not going to type all of them out, its 30+ names).

I'm surprised its so few actually.

 

[zoobyshoe]

What are you talking about, despite his wako behaivor, Jackson will forever be the king of pop. Thriller is STILL is a great song and music video.

It's not clear to me why you mention this. I never said I liked Thriller.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Deny:
Nightmare of You
My Chemical Romance

I don't even know what these are, groups or songs. I lack the perspective to know why they might be embarrassing.

 

[Cyrus]

I thought you said you loved it?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Worst of all, I guess, is that I like a fair amount of Wagner.

I've heard that Wagner's music is better than it sounds.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I thought you said you loved it?

He also said he would deny ever admitting that!

 

[franznietzsche]

I don't even know what these are, groups or songs. I lack the perspective to know why they might be embarrassing.

Its the kind of normal trashy music normal people listen to. It actually makes me feel guilty to listen to it.

 

[franznietzsche]

I've heard that Wagner's music is better than it sounds.

Wagner is awesome. And then he sucked. Bonus points for getting it.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I thought you said you loved it?

I'm sure I never said any such thing.

I've heard that Wagner's music is better than it sounds.

Yeah, no one who authentically appreciates it pays attention to how it sounds.

 

[zoobyshoe]

He also said he would deny ever admitting that!

So, what're you going to admit to that you can later deny?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Its the kind of normal trashy music normal people listen to. It actually makes me feel guilty to listen to it.

Put some of it on now, and photograph yourself. I want to see what you look like guilty.

 

[franznietzsche]

Put some of it on now, and photograph yourself. I want to see what you look like guilty.

Are you coming on to me?

 

[arildno]

I have no shame; but if I had had it, I would be ashamed of liking "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, AbbA and Village People.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Are you coming on to me?

Shut up, Dude. I never said I liked Thriller!

 

[arildno]

Oh, Thriller is a nice one!

 

[franznietzsche]

Shut up, Dude. I never said I liked Thriller!

Then why are you hitting on me?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I have no shame; but if I had had it, I would be ashamed of liking "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, AbbA and Village People.

I've never heard it, but I can tell from the title it would have to be wicked embarrassing to realize you like it.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Then why are you hitting on me?

Demented German Philosopher named narcisist!

 

[zoobyshoe]

I also forgot to mention I think Dolly Parton has an exceptionally beautiful voice. I don't own any of her records but if she ever put out a double album entitled The Well-Tempered Brassiere I would by it.

 

[franznietzsche]

No, that's nihilist.

Bach/boob jokes make me laugh.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Bach/boob jokes make me laugh.

There are other Bach/boob jokes? Dolly's are the only two I know.

 

[franznietzsche]

There are other Bach/boob jokes? Dolly's are the only two I know.

What's the other Dolly one?

 

[zoobyshoe]

What's the other Dolly one?

I was referring to both her boobs.

 

[matthyaouw]

Ashamed? hell no. Robbie Williams, a couple of Christiana Aguilera songs are the ones I'm most likely to be laughed at for admitting to though.

 

[hypatia]

And that wasen't me with the floppy hat and sun glasses at the Muppets show.

 

[Evo]

I love Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen as done by Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd. Ride of the Valkeries "Kill the wabbit" is my favorite.

 

[BobG]

Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey". My sister ragged on me endlessly when I bought that - I wouldn't even have realized it was embarrassing if not for her (she was always so helpful, like that ).

Songs I like to sing in the house (just for annoyance value, mind you) that I would never admit even knowing to outsiders include "Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head" (great song to sing while flicking water from your hands onto your kids - they just hated that) and Bob Dylan's "Isis".

 

[zoobyshoe]

And that wasen't me with the floppy hat and sun glasses at the Muppets show.

No, the Yanni was much more embarrasing.

Where's the shame here? Fess up. Don't you like the song Feelings or something?

Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey". My sister ragged on me endlessly when I bought that - I wouldn't even have realized it was embarrassing if not for her (she was always so helpful, like that ).

Yeah, "Honey" is pretty bad. What your sister was doing, that's called an "intervention."

 

[Evo]

I love Yanni.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I listen to Eminem and the Spice Girls when I work out. I mean, not together, though - sometimes Eminem, and then other times Spice Girls.

 

[brewnog]

Busted rock. Well, they did. And so do Atomic Kitten. Mmmm. And Scatman John...

 

[zoobyshoe]

I love Yanni.

How many albums you have?

I listen to Eminem and the Spice Girls when I work out. I mean, not together, though - sometimes Eminem, and then other times Spice Girls.

Hmmmm...not sure if exercise music counts.

I just thought of another one: there are about 5 Duran Duran songs I really like. I picked up a few of their albums at the swap meet looking for more good ones, but was very disapointed.

Busted rock. Well, they did. And so do Atomic Kitten. Mmmm. And Scatman John...

Hey, brewnog!

I've never heard of any of those, unfortunately, and can't gage their embarrassment factor.

 

[Chi Meson]

I love Yanni.

Did you know Yanni eats with his fork in his left hand?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

While I don't find any of it terribly embarassing here are a few that could be considered so...

Fiona Apple (her voice and that bluesy style is dead sexy)

Sheryl Crow (I have a thing for female singers)

Lou Bega

Digital Underground

Presidents of the United States of America

Polka Music

Metallica

Ummmmm... That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[CosminaPrisma]

I like but am ashamed to admit:

George Michael

Depeche Mode

Arabic pop music (cause I don't speak Arabic)

Some Gregorian chant type stuff

I might actually like Yanni if I listened to his work. That in itself is kind of scary because my middle school English teacher loved Yanni and we all thought she was a dork because of it.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

What's embarassing about Depeche Mode?

 

[CosminaPrisma]

In some circles they are stereotyped as a goth band or a band that only gay people listen to.

I don't understand what's embarassing about Depeche Mode either but they're the subject of a lot of jokes.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Polka Music

This is pretty bad.

Metallica

Hey...Beavis...he said "metallica". heh heh heh.

I like but am ashamed to admit: George Michael

This is iffy, yes.

 

[Evo]

Did you know Yanni eats with his fork in his left hand?

AAARGGGHHH

 

[Evo]

How many albums you have?

I have several CD's, both the Child of Evo & Spawn like him. Spawn has his music downloaded on her computer

 

[Cyrus]

Who is spawn and why is her name that of a comic book character?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I have several CD's, both the Child of Evo & Spawn like him. Spawn has his music downloaded on her computer

OK, passing it on to the next generation is pretty darn bad. Has an X-Files plot feel about it. I'll accept that.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Polka Music

This is pretty bad.

I don't actually own any unfortunately but a friend of mine has a CD or two and plays it in his car on occasion. Some of it is really hilarious. It's like listening to the B-52s. They're absolute crap in most respects but still fun to listen to.

They have tons of polka albums at the swap meet. I once found one that had a number called Polka and Fugue in D on it. Sometimes I kick myself for not having bought it.

 

[franznietzsche]

I listen to Eminem and the Spice Girls when I work out. I mean, not together, though - sometimes Eminem, and then other times Spice Girls.

You should be ashamed to admit that.

 

[Moonbear]

I'd tell you all, but I'm too ashamed to admit it.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I'd tell you all, but I'm too ashamed to admit it.

I was almost positive you had some really red-faced smiley skeletons in your closet.

C'mon. Fess up. Bobby Vinton?

 

[GeorginaS]

Cummon Moonbear: The Patridge Family, maybe? Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tenille?
