What Bands do you like that you really shouldn't?
I must admit a soft spot for ash and slipknot

Some people might be horrified by parts of my record collection, I guess. I have all sorts of 80s melodic rock (wimphem) albums like Aldo Nova, Jonah Koslen & The Heroes, Stan Bush & Barrage, Jeff Paris, China Sky, Honeymoon Suite, Donnie Iris, Valentine, Tall Stories, Sabu, Only Child, Jag Wire, Zebra... not forgetting stuff like Ratt, Britny Fox, King Kobra, Rough Cutt, Keel, Black'N'Blue...
I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed by them though. Apart from one particularly dreadful album by Brighton Rock.
Oh, and I have two Leatherwolf albums. Nothing wrong with the music, but that name... :oops:
For slightly more modern stuff, I love Disturbed, which is apparently very uncool, not that I give a toss.
-
How do you class uncool, or something you shouldn't like. I'm the same as crazy joe I listen to anything. I love everything from Robert Johnson through to Abba. The only one I'm not embarassed about, but get some funny looks for is Robbie Williams...his early stuff mind, not that pap he's got out now
-
*LMAO* sorry yeah don't mind early Robbie....but Phill stan bush ain't heard that name for a while...yes I do own an album..also cinderella, FM, Ratt, nazareth, rainbow, bad english, journey.......but like most music so these only small scary part
-

Sounds like my album collection - much of it still on vinyl
The Heartbreak album by Sabu was a classic - havent played it in years
King Kobra's first album is still one of my faves and I have very fond memories of seeing Brighton Rock live at the Marquee
-

Yeah, I loved it at the time - but can't play it now because I don't have a (working) turntable. His Kidd Glove album is good too.
The only Paul Sabu I have on CD is the Only Child album. I played that a little while ago and it hasn't aged well. It sounds horrific, TBH. :lol:
-
Dare I say, Genesis (especially pre-Abacab), which led me onto Phil Collins... Marillion, quite a lot of J-pop...
-
^what's wrong with Marillion? :o
-
Robbie Williams...his early stuff mind, not that pap he's got out now
I have life thru a lens and sing when your winning on my iPod. :oops:
I'd class a guilty pleasure as a Band you like, but If someone says they're terrible you keep quiet about it, because it's too degrading to admit you like them and they're not so great that you can't help but start an argument.
And Rainbow... I got Rising A few months back and I thinks it's excellent, Richie Blackmore is fast becoming one of my favourite guitarists.

It's so freaking awesome.
-
^what's wrong with Marillion? :o
As far as I'm concerned, nothing. I have a vague memory of them being regarded as the poor cousin of Genesis. Plus it seems some people don't like prog very much.
If I remember rightly, the review of Marillion's new album in Guitarist was a tad dismissive...
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYgBEvuqPq8
mix it with some Rammstein and I'd enjoy it

Theres nothing wrong with j-pop or Marillion (Fish was so paranoid when he played Forgotten Sons in Belfast)
Post Peter Gabriel, Genesis however should be kept a secret
Personally I cannot bring myself to say the P & C words, but I bow to your right to possess gis output (even if he does go around vandalising other atrists albums by pretending to be a producer)
Rob...
-
Oh yeah,
My own guilty pleasure entails once seeing Echo & the Bunnymen live and enjoying them.
Robert Plants stuff with Strange Attraction
My guilty musical secret is once going to see Run Rig (they where actually worse than Budgie & a very drunk John Martin put together)
My inverse guilty pleasure (those I dislike but don't usually admit to are)
Post 1982 Van Morrison
The Doors
Led Zeppelin (Up to IV I enjoy)
Roger Waters (Solo)
Robbie Williams (I simply deny having ever heard his name)
Rob...

I f*ckin' LOVE singing along to Backstreet Boys songs while driving!!!
"... I don't care who you are, where your from....
.............AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME.......
MAGIC! PDT_015

Nsync - Bye Bye Bye.
AWESOME SONG :D

The Back Passage Boys <shudder>
Good job I know you are lying
Please god let him be lying
-
Please god let him be lying
I actually really do prefer listening to them more than the Beatles or Stones! :oops:
" Backstreets back... ALRIGHT!" :twisted: :roll: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Phil Collins is also a master of his dark art and I'll not be bowed into denying his genius....
The truth of what we really enjoy ONLY honestly comes out when we are ALONE in the car at night or on the motorway where nobody is watching and we happen to have the radio on a local/regional FM station...
An on pops "I Want It That Way" or "Easy Lover"...
Even "In the Air Tonight"...
Don't dare LIE and say you don't all go... Dumm, Dumm dum dum ect when that tom roll kicks in.

If you are referring to the Beatles circa Abbey Road & the original release of Let it Rot (sorry Let it be), or the Stones post 1972 I could have some sympathy with your statement (ducks for cover himself)
I can actually tolerate the Backstreet boys better than Phil Colons (intentional misspelling). I also have to say that his output is considerably better than Mike and the Mechanics (how could Paul Carrack stoop so low).
That bloody run around the toms is on every single track he ever drummed on. The only black art I can think of was how he convinced reputible artists to allow him to produce their albums ! He is a drummer for gods sake
Easy Lover I can actually make it to the end of (I always liked Baileys voice), and I even have to admit to adoring the Intro to in the air tonight.
Jeez I thought my Echo & the Bunnymen confession was bad
I did once go and see Level 42 come to think of it, I suppose that was worse than Mr Colon, but to be honest they where feckin awful (and that was with the assistince of Mr Holdsworth)
I also went to see Imagination (remember them), they where excellent, I am proud to have paid to see men dancing around in transparent trousers

ahhh i HATE THAT BLOODY SONG!
lol :lol:
anyway,
my personal secret loves:
Crowded House and Supertramp :D :lol:

When I started this thread, I was expecting A bit weird, but certainly nothing on the level of a love of backstreet boys adn the eurovision song contest.
at least no one has confessed to owning a Mcfly album so far.
-
my personal secret loves:
Crowded House and Supertramp :D :lol:
How could I forget Supertramp. Breakfast in America... oh, yes.

Me no likee Level 42 I'm afraid, though I remember a fairly funny storu ablut Mark King geting arsey when he was doing a demo (for Vox I think) in the early 80s
I will also add Kid Creole & the coconuts to this dodgy mix which is developing here.
dunno about the Karaoke but the beers Hell Yeah
Sam I have to say I agree with Crowded House (the album Woodface is a true classic).
The mention of Supertramp still causes me distress (as reminds me of a night in 1983 when I was spiked with acid) <shudder>
Rob...

oh yes indeed!
and yup- spot on, rob. god i havent listened to them in ages...
im pretty sure ii've got Pineapple Head on cassette somewhere... :lol: :oops:
-
I wouldn't think of my love of Crowded house as something I would suppress-I am a huge Neil Finn fan-one of the greatest songwriters around and the Finn Brothers "Everyone is Here" is a modern classic. So good on you Sam!

I'm so embarrased by that to the extent that I only put it on when I have the house to myself, or late at night through headphones. I like another one of their songs as well :oops:
Oh, and when I was much younger, I bought that Eiffel 65 "Blue song on cassette. Everyone at school had it! Anyway, I think thats my most embarrasing music purchase ever, but its not really a guilty pleasure because I think its shite :lol:
-
I like Nickleback. I do, sue me.
-
Alright you've made me come out and say I own albums by wasp...and the devinals

I remember a school trip, long ago, and that came on the radio.
everyone immediately squeezed their nose and started singing, to every adult's immense irritation.
good times.
-
Yeah like that song reminds me of splitting from my wife...goood times
-
Roxette - Almost Unreal :? oh god
I Am Ghost - This Is Home :oops:
Those two are the only ones i'm actually embarrased about, so I listen to it at really low volumes so no one in the house can hear it :?
-
Think I gave that one away, with the yes album(yes the one with owner of a lonely heart) and a saxon tape...also pantera albums...just can't get on with them
-
My guilty pleasures album is by mmmmh....
Ian Anderson 'Walk Into Light' you should hear the track 'General Crossing' it's a bloddy masterpiece! the other is 'Outside' by David Bowie, it's a very disturbing concept album, about a serial killer and a woman who has a mid life crisis. There's too many to mention. If Brain Blessard did an album, It'd be the ultimate guilty pleasures album, I think he should make one!
PDT_031

think have that Anderson one on vinyl
-

WASP are ace! :twisted:
-
W.A.S.P. kick f'ing ass!! I'm listening to The Headless Children album at the moment
but anyways, my quilty pleasures would probably be Blackmore's Night... my friends were all WTF when I was listening to their Wish You Were Here cover, they know me as a hippie-metalhead-who-listens-to-reggae

Have you heard the German language version? Man, I'd love to do a death metal cover version of that song! :) Change the female vocals to growly male vocals and the male vocal to a high, clean female vocal .... :lol:
Actually, I've always wanted to do kind of the same thing with The Mamas & The Papas' "California Dreamin'"! 8)
-
Ian Anderson 'Walk Into Light' you should hear the track 'General Crossing' it's a bloddy masterpiece!
Yeah, I've got that on CD -- weird album in some ways, but there are good bits and "General Crossing" is definitely one of them!
As for general guilty pleasures, there are a few standard '80s pop songs that I've got from iTMS, just because I like to hear the melodies now and again. I guess the most "embarrassing" one is Men at Work's "Down Under", but that song just makes me laugh! :) Can't beat the feel-good power of pop! ;)
For some reason, I've always dug the Madonna song "Ray of Light" -- though not her '80s pop classics, just that one, really. Dunno why! I have a secret plan to do a raging Hawkwind-style cover version. 8)
I guess my principal guilty pleasure (that most surprises people who are only passingly familiar with my musical tastes) is Shakira (!), largely thanks to my Colombian wife for whom Shakira's '90s albums were standard listening when she was a university student back in "the old country". I gotta say, I really dig some of the songs on Pies Descalzos and Donde Estan los Ladrones?, as well as the performances on the MTV Unplugged album. Really solid pop-rock songs on there. Her newer stuff isn't that bad either, really, though I think it's gotten a bit schizophrenic in what kind of music it wants to be. I can't fault her appearance in the videos, though .... ;)
My wife has a few random, generic New-Agey soundscape CDs that I really quite enjoy popping on in the background when I'm just sitting reading or something. I have a soft spot for that floaty, ambient thing!
Oh, and my fascination with folk-rock means I actually totally dig morris-dancing tunes, courtesy of classic '70s albums like Morris On. Ruling! :D
