Confess to who you like...but shouldn't
« on: March 03, 2010, 05:03:51 PM »
After MrBumps admittance to a bit of Steve Vai, it got me thinking, who'd you listen to/watch etc that get's panned by people but you can't help but like anyway?

I'll kick off with one...Katy Perry. Gotta say, I love the music. Completely...it's trashy, pop music but I like it. She has looks & does tradeo n them, but boy you get caught up in it

I could endlessly list the hot young pop starlets who have interested me but I think you want real dirt.

While driving I will insanely enjoy singing.... 

The Bee Gees and The Backstreet Boys  :D I f**kin' love em!!

Are you happy now?  :?

Obviously the majority of what I listen to is panned by the general public, or would be if they knew it existed.

I think it's utterly ridiculous to think that you shouldn't like something, or that you should be embarrassed because you do. But in the interest of fun.

I really like A LOT of current electro pop stuff, I think we're in the best period of pop music there's been for a long time, Sugababes, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Little Boots etc etc, I think the 30's/40's swing vibe you were getting for a while in pop was cool too, Christina Aguilera's Candyman and stuff like that.

I also can't get enough of Nik Kershaw.

Damn...  I thought I was the only one...

Some of the guitar parts on The Riddle and Human Racing are phenominal.  And SUCH a great, underrated songwriter...

That's the critical thing with Nik & the BeeGees... Same with Cathy Dennis (wrote hits for Katy Pery, kylie etc)

Long after solo fame, talent remains...

I'm with nfe, I'm not ashamed of anything...

But to enter into the spirit of the thing (ie, to wind some people up :lol:):

I still think Paul McCartney is an utter genius.
I love Cliff Richard's voice (until he got a bit too "breathy") and I have a very healthy regard for most of what he did up until the mid 80s.

Those two are part of what got me started.

And I'm well-impressed there's some Bee Gees love here. They have to be my biggest musical influence :D

And, for Philly Q (where is he, btw?), I think what Aerosmith did to re-invent itself was superb. I suspect that I possibly regard their resurrection with the torch ballads etc etc as a bigger achievement than getting famous in the first place :lol:

I'm crazy about The Beach Boys and have been for about 25 years. Brian Wilson is my most important music influence.

There is nothing strange about that or the Beatles - try harder!

NOW...If you said anything Mr Brian Wilson (or Paul Mc) touches I would assume you were one of those nut-jobs who wear a Fireman's helmet and worship at the alter of his washed up madness...  :lol: :lol:

i know a person like that.
