Music in your collection that you're ashamed to admit you own
I have a large desk at home. On most of the shelving, I keep all my cd's that I've collected over the years. The other day, I was just sitting and browsing all that was there. I don't know how I ended up with some of this crap...
Will Hoge Spice Girls - unopened Romeo & Juliet Soundtrack - unopened Billie Myers Leann Rimes *sigh* Jimmy Buffet - unopened Jewel Green Day - I hate them. I want to kick the lead singer in the face Travis Tritt 'The Natural Sounds Of The Wilderness' Juice Newton lol Wynonna Judd Nelly Richard Marx :/ Tom Cochrane Steve Winwood |
98 degrees
NSYNC backstreet boys All those silly boy bands that I listened to in Jr High I also have a couple CDs from bands at my high school that really suck. |
Why would you be ashamed that you own Jimmy Buffet?!
*********************************************** I'm not ashamed of anything I own, even though I constantly take shit from my friends over a lot of the music I own. Just cause I'm a punk doesn't mean I limit myself to just punk music. The way I see it, if I own it, I dig it. I really don't give a shit what anyone thinks of my taste in music. |
I have quite a few albums that I wouldn't trumpet from the rooftops, but I'm not ashamed of them.

Nickelback.

http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_im...6/60481416.jpg I'm not embarrassed for having these but if I hadn't received them as gifts during high school, I probably wouldn't own them. It was a good intro to a lot of punk bands I hadn't heard of but these only get a spin every few years. |
Haha, Punk-O-Rama...
I have them all. |
Like POA, I'm not ashamed of any of the music I own. Even though I have The Carpenters, John Denver, Bobby Vinton and Olivia Newton-John.
fuck all who don't like it. :) |
I am with POA and mixedmedia. I'll listen to all of the music I have, and in front of my music snob friends, too.
The ones I get shit for include: Backstreet Boys NSync Lady Gaga Rascall Flatts Spice Girls ...and so on. |
I secretly love the new Jonas Brother's song. Good Christians singing about how, despite their meds, they're still feeling paranoid.
So good. Also, I love Hanson and no one can stop me. |
there's stuff i don't like in my collection but nothing i'm embarrased about.
on the other hand, i have lots of stuff like this: now someone might say that's just awful and the clip is dreadful as well. i just laugh. |

As far as all the others though, I hang my head. Skeet shooting comes to mind if it's at all possible. |
i catch shit for listening to a few of the following:
MGMT The Lids Len Cars Can Be Blue Screaming Sneakers The Suspicions The Soviettes The Mountain Goats |
...but I got rid of that Ace of Base tape. :shy:

"Hiru no Tsuki" by Akino Arai
I had the mandatory Anime phase like most other Bay Area teens. "Hiru no Tsuki" was the theme at the end of Outlaw Star. "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis Don't ask me why but I love this song. I was going to post Pinafore and Penzance, but I'm proud to enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan. "Hide and Seek" Imogen Heap The first time I heard this, it was on an SNL Digital Short. I laughed at first, but the damned song grew on me. ---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ---------- Quote:

...it's such a cruel summer!

NOFX yes Punk.of.ages that is what I said.
|
It's okay. You can ween yourself off NOFX if you maintain a steady diet of Op Ivy and sobriety.
|
I have a simon and garfunkel best of CD...:sad:
|
I love my cd collection. Everything from ABBA to the Vandals. I take a lot of shit for a lot of stuff I listen to, but I'm not ashamed. :)
...that said, I DO have a Taylor Swift cd. It was a Christmas gift from a cousin who based this decision entirely on the fact that I like Kenny Chesney. Um...yeah. She meant well. |

I'm not ashamed of my music tastes, it's weird and eclectic, but I listen to what I love. I've noticed that I go through phases with music, I'm in my Happy-Go-Lucky music phase now, with heavy Irish seasonings.
I have two friends who are metal heads and once owned a CD shop. They give me HELL over my music tastes. I took 3 weeks of shit over going to the No Doubt concert a month ago. Here are some of the bands I listen to that they give me crap about. Jimmy Buffett No Doubt (Pretty much all 3rd wave Ska bands I listen too) Beach Boys Blink 182 Flogging Molly Garth Brooks Presidents of the United States of America :thumbsup: Daft Punk Loreena McKennitt Eve 6 Soul Coughing Gaelic Storm |

Oh, and this is the only version of the theme that I have listened to before your post above: Hiiru no Tsuki and the album from which it stems: CDBaby | Rayzd | Just Fade Away: Music of Cowboy Bebop and Other Sounds for the Otaku |
Eh..what I have is what I have..every piece of music plays a different role in some way or another..
and LordEden.. who the fuck would give shit about Flogging Molly?? Those people obviously suck. |

He sucks, so when he's bartending at my favorite dive bar, I play the whole Drunken Lullabies CD off the jukebox. $10 bucks to play it, but watching him get more and more pissed off and not being able to do anything about it is worth it. I love watching Elitist Music Jerks have to listen to music they hate. Gives me a warm happy feeling in my tummy. |
i secretly listen to Freedom by george michaels when i'm running or cycling, it gets me pumped for some reason. i am ashamed, but i'll keep doing it.
my shame also lies in the fact that i like the song mmm bop, it's catchy as fuck. |

I think you need new friends. Everyone on that list kicks ass (well, I don't know Soul Coughing. But everyone else, definitely.) |
Some of the highlights of my list:
Journey Ben Folds Cheap Trick John Mayer George Michael Queen Otis Redding Prince Meatloaf Jimmy Eat World Etc etc. This all goes alongside things like John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Mercyful Fate, The Ramones, Colin Hay, Tom Waits and Iggy Pop. It runs the gamut, but I'm not ashamed of any of it. |
Ooooh...Martian, I like your list, too. I need to come visit and raid a few music collections, judging from this thread :)

A good portion of the people are not understanding the premise of this thread as is outlined by the OP: namely, stating albums and/or artists you are too ashamed to admit you own in real life. It's already a topic at odds with itself to begin with, but when adding in the factor that some, like myself, don't really find faults in what they prefer to listen to, it is just a listing of names that may seem odd.
I'd even offer the supposed purpose of why even participate in the thread if you are not, ashamed at least in part, of what was once all the rage in 1997, or the fact that you still listen to a band that is now historically seen as a laughingstock? I guess it's our way of trying to fit out opinion to what was offered in the initial examples': music that you may feel awkward listening to still, and perhaps are made to feel even moreso when friends find out. That's the way I see it anyhow. |

Hmm... Ani Difranco's new one. I acted based on her more than decent track record, but friggin hell I wish I had vetted this one first. Such boring lifeless crap on Red Letter Year. Same with the newest from Gomez and the Decemberists... I really gotta preview more. That's my source of shame - buyer's remorse. Thankfully, I was 2 for 5 with Animal Collective and Regina Spektor saving the day. |

I make no apologies for anything that I listen to. But, a few of the CDs, in my collection, that may raise an eyebrow, or two, are;
Christina Aguilera (I like her Back to Basics album) Barry Manilow ABBA Carly Simon Peter Frampton Donna Summer Diana Ross Gladys Knight & The Pips Bee Gees Four Tops Commodores Kool & The Gang Mulberry Lane Glenn Miller The Andrews Sisters Artie Shaw Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Chuck Mangione I saw Meatloaf mentioned here, somewhere. Really? Meatloaf? Bat Out Of Hell was my signature album back in the day. I've owned it on LP, 8-track, cassette and CD. To this day it's still pretty close to the top of my pile. |
So, looking through my CDs, I decided I do own one band I'm slightly ashamed of.
Dragon Force... |
