Music you are ashamed to like. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Derwood · 07-03-2003, 06:27 AM

My roomate and I had a college radio show back in the day, and one show we did "Songs we are ashamed to like." It was 3 hours of music that we liked but would never admit it.

So what musicians/songs are you ashamed to like?

I'll start:

I really like George Michael. Not his dance tracks, but the rest. The jazzier stuff on Listen Without Prejudice and Older.

I also like some tracks from pop groups. "Goodbye" by Spice Girls, "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera to name a few.

Oh, and I like Neil Diamond.

Peetster · 07-03-2003, 06:44 AM

The silver vibes of Lionel Hampton. He was in Benny Goodman's band, then struck out solo.

God of Thunder · 07-03-2003, 07:06 AM

Just about anything from Duran Duran.

Did I just type that??????

Oh well, it's out there now.

Story goes that my sister was (and still is) a big fan. So, by default, I got to hear a lot of it.

Saw them live in 1897 during "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" tour and was actually quite impressed.

Pyrate · 07-03-2003, 08:01 AM

Ayumi Hamasaki. If you were to look at this thugged out everyday yout' and then listen to the tape playing in my Walkman, you would probably erupt in hearty bellows.

I also like SClub. They had moves and they had voices. I was actually sad when they split, but I made fucking well sure no one saw my grief.

Um, ignore all of the above, I didn't say any of it.

Nyenrodian · 07-03-2003, 08:04 AM

Andrea Bocelli
Huey Lewis & the News

Jadey · 07-03-2003, 08:56 AM

I've started listening to Country music (All becuase of a WOMAN!). Also, I'm another Duran Duran fan. They were my first favorite band back when I was in grade school.

TIO · 07-03-2003, 09:03 AM

Eminem. I hate the genre, and I hate what he is and what he stands for, but the bastard just keeps on releasing great songs!

They put out an album of all covers songs a few years ago and I play it quite a bit.

Holy hell, do I feel you on that one my friend.

But aside from now LOVING country music, I'm also very ashamed to admit that I quite like Justin Timberlake as a solo artist.

im so alone

viveleroi0 · 07-03-2003, 10:28 AM

spice girls, a few songs by eminem are the ones that come to mind. My girlfriend thinks I love britney spears (sure shes cute, but I don't love her - I love my g/f) so I cannot admit to her that I like some britney songs,

ninety09 · 07-03-2003, 11:49 AM

I like a few songs from SClub7 and Christina Aguilera

Eggy · 07-03-2003, 12:47 PM

blink-182... wow, that's really the only one on my playlist. Some of the most immature musicians I know of, but they can write a catchy melody, put on a hilarious live show, and are at their best when they put out the occasional serious song.

Hal Incandenza · 07-03-2003, 01:45 PM

Lots of Madonna. "Live to Tell" is unbelievably great.
Def Leppard and lots of other eighties hair bands. I saw an embarrassing number of them live, too--Poison, White Lion, Dokken, Tesla, Great White, even Winger. Kill me now.

darkmagnus · 07-03-2003, 05:19 PM

I am ashamed to admit I like them, but I think they are actually fairly talented:

Tupac
Notorious BIG
Snoop Dogg
NWA
Slick Rick

bundy · 07-03-2003, 07:41 PM

how could anyone be ashamed of liking any of the music here???

i enjoy it all, oh, except Winger - Hal Incandenza, you´re on your own there man.

anti fishstick · 07-03-2003, 08:32 PM

I didn't say that I liked them; I just said that I saw them live. Of course, "Seventeen" wasn't too bad--NO! WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT! I LOVE SLAYER!

Disturbing, yet catchy.

Neil Diamond
Bing Crosby
and worst of all, Hanson (it's good stuff, really)

Anyone remember the Skatenigs? Really 'orrid rap-industrial-metal crossover, before that was common. Brain-damagingly stoopid, but great fun.

The Atomic Boy · 07-04-2003, 08:53 PM

In my darkest moments I have been known to listen to Vanilla Ice's single best song "Ninja Rap".

cinnles · 07-04-2003, 09:03 PM

BulletBob · 07-04-2003, 11:45 PM

That one Prince song, When Doves Cry

brandon11983 · 07-05-2003, 10:31 AM

Spice Girls
Aqua
Tears for Fears
Dr. Dre
Jay Z
Ricky Martin

Stare At The Sun · 07-05-2003, 01:25 PM

good char, total fucking sellouts, but man, i just really like the way they sound..

shinji · 07-05-2003, 01:59 PM

i like the other justin timberlake song, the one after "cry me a river." i forget what it was called.

i love duran duran. with so many people in this thread who like them, i can't imagine why we should be ashamed of it. maybe there's more to duran duran than we give them credit for.

allister. too goddamn catchy. i hate poppunk.

snoop dogg. i don't even know why i like him.

Actually, I've been accused of that by several people.

[correction]I saw them in 1987 [/correction]
Thanks for the catch (and laugh)

phredgreen · 07-05-2003, 07:23 PM

i don't think i'm ashamed of anything i lisen to, but it is a little odd for me to like as many timberlake songs as i do... whatever.

Spektr · 07-05-2003, 07:25 PM

Ani DiFranco. Despite the fact that she hates me and all other men, I think her music is amazing

Meaty Urologist · 07-05-2003, 11:14 PM

Tatu, but just because of the whole lesbian thing, I swear.

grapeape · 07-07-2003, 08:31 AM

i was a closeted duran duran fan in high school.....now that i'm all grown up, i've come out of the closet with it. (then i return to the closet with my spice girls cd.)

JohnnyRock · 07-07-2003, 11:59 AM

Ok, I'm as metal as metal can be and I don't---WON'T--own anything by these "artists" but when they come on the radio or a movie, party, etc...I don't turn and run:
The Fixx
The Beach Boys
Wings and...
Supertramp [God help me...!!!!]
