OT - Embarrassing Musical taste

[beekeeper]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ricky Martin, but am kind of embarrassed to admit it. Also like listening to my old ASIA and ELO tapes when nobody else is around ... lol

Anybody else have any of these little secrets they want to let slip?

[Jasmine46]

I love Clay Aiken from American Idol. Not in a romantic way, just as a mom. I know he's dorky, but there's something about him. Maybe because I never had a son.

I also love Hall & Oates a lot and I used to listen to the Little River Band and Air Supply.

[Touché]

Touché:
Lol, I like Clay Aiken, Hall & Oates and Little River Band, too, Jasmine. (Air Supply makes me gag, though, lol.)

Hey, I might have a son you can adopt, lol. :-)

Jasmine46:
If your son has a job and is cute like Clay, I'll take him!

[Garnet333]

I love Clay Aiken, Spandau Ballet, Air Supply, Paula Abdul and The Go Go's. I play their music in the middle of the day when I know my neighbors are all gone to work. Afterall, I wouldn't want my neighbors to think I was strange. LOL

I was being a smart aleck (again). I wish I had a son, too. Heck, I wish I had a gaggle of kids, lol.

[Curvigirl]

(abba)(but please don't tell)

[Jasmine46]

I don't have a son, but I have a son-in-law who is a musician.
Here's his band's website:
SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMwww.myspace.com/mayhemstringband

He's the one playing the banjo. I'm not wild about bluegrass, but apparently they are pretty good. He goes to law school by day and plays music at night.

If you look is his friends pic area, you'll see an orange kitten, that's my daughter's page link. Her page is pretty cool.

[missitaly]

Donna Summer, Duran Duran, Bee Gees, Enrique Inglesias, and Alice Cooper.
But I don't call this music embarrassing! lol

[Garnet333]

Jasmine, thank you so much for sharing that. I went to your daughters web page, is that Jon Stewart on there? Must run in the family :)

[Jasmine46]

Garnet333 Jasmine, thank you so much for sharing that. I went to your daughters web page, is that Jon Stewart on there? Must run in the family :)


Yes, Garnet, it does. It was she that turned me on to him, though. She does get her free spirit from me, though. We are very much alike except in our musical taste!
Did you see the pics she has from our Alaska cruise? They are ab-fab.

[dad123]

most people know me as a heavy metal guy,but also liked the new wave music of the 80's.

[hellokitty]

Oh so many to name. Old school Duran Duran (which, btw, I recently found out that bassist John Taylor is married to one of the co-founders of the Juicy Couture line!), lots of random songs by various artists - one post reminded me of that song "True" by Spandau Ballet.

Bootilicious will always be dear to me and my friends...LOVE Kelly Clarkson and Brit before she went downhill so fast...there is a movie w/Jason Lee (brain fart) where they sang Islands in the Stream. You know I downloaded that to my Ipod as soon as I heard it...I love to belt out Elton John's "I Guess thats why They Call It the Blues" when I'm alone.

Too many too name. I'd bore you all to tears. But believe me, I def have embarassing musical taste. It's what makes me me.

[Touché]

[AussieMrs]

I like Barry Manilow. :)

Funny story--AussieMr. lifts weights in our basement and listens to his homemade CDs while he's at it. Well, one day I walk in the house and blaring up from the basement is--AIR SUPPLY. He's got some very eclectic taste when it comes to music, but I suppose I do, too. Oh, I think the next song on the CD was AC/DC's 'TNT'. :0

Oh, Jasmine, I just went to that website and saw the cruise pics--gorgeous! You're a beauty, too. You and your daughter looked like you had a great time. Did just the two of you go, or did ya take the fellas along with you?

[BR™]

If I hear Saturday Night Fever on the radio, I turn it up and start to DANCE!!

I still enjoy 70's and 80's music if I am changing the stations.

Will workout to Ricky Martin Living La Vita Loco!!!!

[princesskv]

I love Duran Duran!!! They are still awesome to this day! I also like Bread, John Denver and Ricky Martin. I don't think I'm embarrassed to admitting this:) I also love The Doors, Madonna, The Killers, Green Day and Guns N Roses, the list goes on and on.........

----------------------------------------------------------------Missy, there are no pics of me on her site. Those are her friends. We did have a great time, just the two of us! We're planning on doing it again in a year or two. She did have more pics up before she got the new kitten. I have a lot more pics of the cruise, let me know if you would like to see and I can email you a slideshow.

No, no no, Curvi! That isn't embarrassing. Madonna starred in the original cast of Mama Mia, w/ all Abba music. It is a good story, funny & now on Broadway. Abba still rocks. JMHO. No. It is just true. Ha!

Kid Rock

(what is up with a post having to be 10 characters long?)

[Joe Bonham]

Not terribly embarrassing, but I've always had a soft spot for novelty songs:

Spike Jones; "Cocktails for Two."
Clarence "Frogman" Henry; "Ain't Got A Home."
Anything by Weird Al Yancovic.
Joe Dolce; "Ah Shaddup You Face."
Jump-N-The-Saddle; "The Curly Shuffle."
Sir Elton John; "Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd Be A Turkey At Christmas)."
Wooley Sheb; "One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater."
Jimi Hendrix; "The Stars That Play With Lauging Sam's Dice."
The Beatles; "You Know My Name, Look up the Number."
John Entwistle; "Boris the Spider."

Quite a few of these were million (or more) sellers; several were B sides to singles (and thus technically also million-sellers); and one is a "signature" tune.

Which proves that raising a smile can be "good for business!!!"
;^)

[Novalee]

Ok, since it's only my BB buddies...lol

INXS, Talk Talk, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Devinyls, Heart, Barry Manilow, Backstreet Boys <dodging> lol

[Sparks]

Okay~ Here's what my husband is always teasing me about:

I go back and forth with CD's in my changer , or on my i-pod like these

Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind"
right into

"O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana

back to "Who By Numbers"

followed by Handel's "Sarabande"

back to Quadrophenia

Then Journey's " Only The Young"

and now with the approach of the Christmas season, I'll start with my Medieval Christmas Carols and all the boys' choirs......

My neighbors think I'm "barmy" as well......

[Abbey Road]

I don't have too many embarrasing musical taste but the Monkees are great. My favorite Monkee is Mike Nesmith since he was the rebel of the group & a country rock pioneer in his own right.

[beekeeper]

VERY glad to see I'm not alone in this!

I agree with the previous poster ... there is NOTHING embarrassing about ABBA! I love them ... (dancing queen has got to be one of the best songs ever!!!!)

Nova, your "backstreet boys dodging" comment made me LOL! :-)

[Novalee]

Bee...NOBODY knows I own their greatest hits. lmao

[beekeeper]

Nova, I have to admit that I LOVE that song "Incomplete"!

[disgusted]

THE REAL QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF THESE ASSSHITS HAVE ANY MUSICAL ABILITIES AT ALL------------OTHER THAN NONMUICAL SCREAMING, YELLING, TOTAL IGNORANCE CONCERNING 'READING' MUSIC--MUCH LESS BEING ABLE TO PLAY THE INSTRUMENTS THAT THEY MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STUPID, DUMB ASSSHITS FOR MUSICALLY CHALLENGED ASSSHIT IDIOTS!

[Acura]

I love the Classic Hall & Oates stuff! They were big when I was in highschool.
I was listening to my Bee Gees album a couple of wks. ago. I love love love,
How Deep is your Love..... Right now I'm really loving $.50.

[Jasmine46]

It's not really embarassing, but I LOVE Al Green. I could listen to that man day and night. If I could take only one CD anywhere, it would be one of his.

I grew up listening to Al Green. Every Sat. morning his music would be in the 8 track player while we did our weekend cleaning.

[Curvigirl]

Jennifer--I partied with Alice Cooper in my early high school years. (He wasn't Alice then, he was Vince, and in retrospect he was way too old to be hanging out with "jail bait," but there he was!)

*******

P.S. In re-reading my post, I feel compelled to point out that (a) he was indeed already Alice, we just didn't realize it at the time as he left the eyeliner at home, and (b) by saying "partied" and "jail bait" in the same paragraph, I do not wish to imply any impropriety on the part of the chaste and respectable young Curvigirl. :)

Of course not! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I know where you're coming from!

[QVCQ]

I've always loved Hall & Oates. I think Daryl Hall has one of the best voices in the business. When I tell people that, they laugh uncontrollably.

[Touché]

I'm not at all embarrassed about it, but few of my peers know of her . . . I LUV Chaka Kahn! I'm ordering her greatest hits for my Christmas stocking this year, lol.

Got such a kick from reading your list, Sparks! DH teases me, too, for the same reason.

When at home (houses are *very* far apart and no one can hear), I'll blast the following, but not necessarily in this order:
Annie Lennox (Diva or Medusa)
Gloria Lynne (Gloria, Marty & Strings)
Sarah McLachlan (Mirrorball)
David Gray (White Ladder)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (LUV, LUV, LUV Déjà Vu)
Anita Baker (Greatest Hits)
Marshall Tucker (Fire on the Mountain)
Stevie Nicks (Trouble in Shangri-La)
Van Morrison (Greatest Hits)

Gospel music never fails to lift my spirits. Right now I'm listening to Ruben Studdards "I Need an Angel," and I love it, but I'm sure it's not for everyone.

My favorite and can't-do-without CD is Kristine W's "Land of the Living." LUV this CD! I play it over and over and over! (Great dance music, too!)

I love her voice! I can listen to No More I Love You's over and over.

I agree Nova, Annie Lennox has a beautiful voice and I love that song. She ranks right up there with Celine IMO.

I totally agree. He has a ton of soul for a white boy! He writes some really good songs, too.

Love ABBA.
boy bands, I ADMIT IT!!!
teenybopper songs - like the ones on Laguna Beach! You know I am checking out those playlists on iTunes to create my own soundtrack!!

[disgusted]

JOEY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBVIOUSLY, POP ASSSHIT/VERMIN CANNOT READ MUSIC, ETC SO THEY YELL, SCREAM, PLAY NON-MUSIC ON THEIR SO-CALLED 'INSTRUMENTS' THAT ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLE GO DEAF..................DUH!

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE TO MAKE REFUGEES OF POP ASSSHIT NONMUSIC ABLE TO HEAR AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to add Meatloaf and his "Bat out of Hell" album. Paradise by the dashboard light.... ;-)

Okkkkkkkk, Partridge Family's Greatest Hits!!!! I love it!!!

[X-RATED!]

OBVIOUSLY, NOT ONLY IS POP/RAP CRAP X-RATED, BUT THE ASSSHIT MUSICALLY ILLITERATE NON-MUSICIANS WHO PERFORM THE CRAP SHOULD BE SUED FOR THE DOCTOR BILLS THAT THEIR CRAP CAUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW MANY TEENS ARE GOING TO BECOME DEAF BECAUSE OF HEARING THE NOISE-CRAP THAT THEY ARE EXPOSED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beekeeper...ELO!
Thanks...I'm gonna pull that album..."Sailin' away on the crest of a wave it's like magic...Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' it's magic"
Made me feel great! Been 20 years since I listened to it.
Oh no, I didn't say that...ELO C'mon! ;-)

[AussieMrs]

Love ELO's 'Mr. Blue Sky.'

[Abbey Road]

I don't see anything embarrassing about liking Hall & Oates, the Bee Gees & ELO since they all made some great music. I'm not afraid to admit I like Osmond Bros. classics One Bad Apple, Down By The Lazy River & Yo Yo which are bubblegum masterpieces over 30 years later & much better than anything current boy bands like N'Sync could ever do.

[LA-CAgirl3]

No one here really knows my musical tastes or much about me for that matter and I am not quite embarrassed about liking Eminem, but it does not feel comfortable to admit it, so I think it qualifies. He is in rotation on my vehicle CD changer. Someday maybe I'll answer the "concerts" and "CD's in car now" threads, when I know people better.

Christopher Cross's Sailing. :)

[beekeeper]

Ooooh Christopher Cross ... good one! He had a few that I liked!

I don't own it, but if I hear Boy George ... I listen (I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya ...) hehe

[mayvenne]

Christopher Cross- Agreed. Although again to be honest, that was one gorgeous album he had. He was one of those awarded best new artist- at the grammys I think- for whom it was sort of the kiss of death on the career.
And I loved Kharma Chameleon. Loved Boy George's voice and sense of humor. I wish he would get himself togehter though.

[beaglelvr]

Add me to the list of Abba fans. Loud and proud about it, too! LOL, my sis teases me quite frequently about that one.

Also on my dusty favorites list are Little River Band, Madonna's "Who's That Girl" albumn, Neil Diamond and Kiss. A little something for every mood I guess ;)

[beekeeper]

Beagle said "... Little River Band, Madonna's "Who's That Girl" albumn, Neil Diamond and Kiss. A little something for every mood I guess ..."

----

I GUESS! lol ... Beagle, I think you should have a "flashback" party! KISS ... wow! I used to know a guy who collected everything KISS, I mean everything! He even did the outfits ... big black buckled boots, long black frizzy hair ... oivey ...

I have that Madonna album too ... hehe

[beaglelvr]

LOL Bee - I know..... the KISS thing just won't go away. That guy you knew would have had to be my boyfriend back when I was 13 - oooh wee!


I need to add one more piece of cheese: Corey Hart, "Never Surrender". Had the poster of him and everything........ Yikes!

[beekeeper]

You know what, he is always grouped in with those other "one hit wonders", and it's totally unfair! Besides being totally adorable, he had 2 hits, sunglasses at night AND Never surrender!

[Mockers]

Oh! I LOVED the Purple People Eater Song. I used to sing it by the hour when it was first on the radio. And my brother had a copy of "Transfusion" (he loved anything with cars), I forget who did that one. I still know all the words to that one.
Me-- I love the BeeGees. And Three Dog Night! Woo hoo! Have to admit I like Air Supply too. But my all-time NEW fave is Diana Krall. I could listen to her stuff all day long.

I'm adding Foreigner and Helen Reddy to my list. Stuck in the 70's! :-)

Jennifer

[AussieMrs]

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!

Jenn, do you get VH1 Classic? It's a channel staple in my home!

[missitaly]

Hi Missy!

I listen to the 70s on internet radio @ work. It just brings me back to a simpler time. VH-1 is another one that I love.

Jennifer

[Putbeds]

I normally am a classic rock freak (Doors, Beatles, Who, Zep, etc) but I also listen to Weird Al Yankovic as well. His music makes me laugh. Plus I like some country music and I watch VH-1 Country sometimes on my digital cable package. The gamut of videos on that channel can go from topical (Martina McBride's "Concrete Angel" video is very sad and touching about child abuse) to patriotic (Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue") to the party videos . I love Brooks & Dunn "You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Honky Tonk" which features Marilu Henner. The video is about a wild girl named Connie who comes home for her cousin's wedding and proceeds to shake things up. It's one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Btw, Marilu doesn't play Connie; She plays the uptight mother of the bride. --- "Hey Mister! Can You Spell Shit" -D.B. Sweeney (8 Men Out)

[Putbeds]

Btw, besides those songs; I just happen to like Big & Rich. I even got their CD; A Horse of a Different Color. Their video for "Big Time" is very entertaining. They even spoofed the cover of the Beatles "Abbey Road". Their motto is LOVE EVERYBODY & the whole CD is a mixture of rowdy outlaw country, rap, heavy metal and love ballards. --- "Hey Mister! Can You Spell Shit?" -D.B. Sweeney (8 Men Out)

[Acura]

I forgot about Michael Buble. My sister always teases me about playing that CD. She says what a combination .50, Mariah Carey, Michael Buble, and the Black Eyed Peas."
