Whats your favorite artist you're embarassed to admit to? - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Harry Cox · 10-15-2004, 06:10 PM

I could really care less what other people think of my musical tastes, but I would have to say that those that I like that would fall into this category are Huey Lewis and Bryan Adams. I also think Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" is a great song. Very reminiscent of early Jackson 5. Check out Barry Manilow's "One Voice". That song still gives me chills.

sinjien · 10-15-2004, 10:25 PM

Maybe I'm the alone in this (though i seriously doubt it) but the King of Pop is probably #1 on my list. I am tired of sticking up for him especially when no one but him, the boy, and GOD know the real truth. So I dont talk about Mike anymore. His music still rocks no matter what.

Mr. Munchy · 10-16-2004, 01:25 AM

Aqua. They almost qualify as old-school now.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears I openly admit to liking -- their new stuff at least.

Scorps · 10-16-2004, 10:06 AM

I listen to Avril Lavigne some times....

tspikes51 · 10-18-2004, 10:47 AM

I am not ashamed of my musical tastes; which are all-encompassing. Nor should anybody be ashamed of theirs.

Shpoop · 10-20-2004, 11:04 AM

well its not a particular artist, but i like the RENT soundtrack

that shit is good

ravenradiodj · 10-21-2004, 01:15 PM

It's gotta be GWAR.

bparker805 · 10-21-2004, 01:33 PM

Im not embarassed, but my friend's are when I admit it:

I am a HUGE Rick Sprinfield fan!

ShaniFaye · 10-21-2004, 01:36 PM

bparker805...your friends have no taste...there is NO shame in Rick!!!

bparker805 · 10-21-2004, 01:38 PM

only except the fact that he beat up his wife... but its the music that ROCKS!

gar1976 · 10-28-2004, 11:31 AM

But probably shouldn't be? Songs you don't tell your friends you listen to!

Demographics - 28 year old, married father. Which might explain 2 of the 4.

Here's mine -

Britney Spears, Toxic
Dee Lite - Groove is in the Heart (am I the only one who likes this song? And thinks the lead singer is hot?)
John Mayer - Bigger than my body
Sir-Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back

Anyone else willing to crack and admit to some of these?

Glory's Sun · 10-28-2004, 11:48 AM

this would go better in the music forum

plus here's a thread about it already

Im a little embarassed that i listen to Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5, and Good Charlotte.

Ananas · 10-28-2004, 09:17 PM

Deep breath....

Rod Stewart.

Love listening to him, can't stand watching him. "Reason to Believe" can make me cry sometimes.

Bionic Monkey · 10-28-2004, 09:29 PM

The only ones I'm really embarrassed about are Good Charlotte. I know they're talentless hacks and rejects from Hot Topic, but I just can't stop humming their songs in my head.

guy44 · 10-28-2004, 10:11 PM

Garbage. I used to joke that they were the most appropriately monikered band in existence. Now I have all their albums and b-sides. I just can't help it.

high_jinx · 10-29-2004, 12:29 AM

coheed and cambria... also blind melon. high squeaky singers but such damn good songs!

i love this guy.
download some of this stuff.
i cant tell if he is joking or not
but i do not really care.
the goofiest hip hop i have ever heard--much funnier than the "zany skit" thing (prince paul, de la..on and on)

o yeah--later, really decadent period tiny tim.
particularly his disco cover of pink floyd's "the wall"

I have to say that a lot of Hip HOp and Rap I can dig on. I like Snoop, 50, DMX guys like that. I have no idea why, but I do. Not really afraid to admit it just don't bring it up that I listen to Doggie Style all the time. But when someone mentions it i'm all over it.

RMMsGirl · 10-29-2004, 12:56 PM

Britney Spears... and I still have a Spice Girls CD....

skinnymofo · 10-29-2004, 03:55 PM

Id have to say elton john. i dont usually listen to him in the sense of owning a lot of his music and putting it in, i just enjoy it a lot when its playing somewhere, although i did have a few songs on my computer. As for the collection my mom has plenty of his music so i dont need to get any myself, even though it would be a little awkward seeing as how most record stores where i live are more alternative and rock.

Hirare · 10-30-2004, 08:14 PM

Dido - White Flag

molloby · 10-30-2004, 08:30 PM

^ Was pondering saying that. But frankly I'm not embarassed, the girl can sing.

trickyy · 10-30-2004, 10:53 PM

wow lotsa people embarrased about liking pop music
i must say i like the slick production in certain songs
the beats are just cool, no debate needed

radioguy · 10-30-2004, 11:37 PM

men without hats! i love the "safety dance" and "pop goes the world"

Most of the stuff I listen to (and it's all over the spectrum), I'm not embarassed about (although crackprogram tells me I SHOULD be

).... except maybe...for my secret (well, it WAS a secret) thing for Justin Timberlake. And damn it, I really like "Everytime" by Britney Spears.

mused76 · 10-31-2004, 06:02 AM

rod stewart, billy joel, and michael jackson. shhh.. don't tell.

Chemical Smoo · 10-31-2004, 07:02 PM

Michael Jackson gets a bad rap, I like his music, not him... also Billy Joel and Elton John, some of the pals harp on me for these, but they are greats for a reason people.

I think its hilarious how most American's generalise all dance music as techno.

Eminem even once said Moby's work was all techno. And I suppose Moby - Porcelin is techno Eminem?! Jeez!

Barry Manilow - It's a Miracle

I dislike almost every other song by these guys, I have no idea why these two appeal to me.
