I am afraid Dave I am not keen on the Monkees -I have endured Mrs 38th's "best of Monkees" on odd occasions. We even do "I'm a Believer" in the band when we play functions.

I'm crazy about The Beach Boys

So is everyone else.

Aren't they?  :?

[Frank]

I just did a search through my mp3s for stuff that most people would consider naff, here's a quick list:

* Charlie Rich - Behind Closed Doors is an absolute classic
* Tammy Wynette
* The Beach Boys
* Herb Alpert
* 152 megabytes of They Might Be Giants ... they were my favourite band for years, still love their first three or four albums
* The Bee Gees, ELO, The Clash, Rolf Harris, NOFX and many others

All interspersed with Motorhead, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Carulli's opus 34 in G, the Bruck violin concerto and Frank Zappa.

And inexplicably, one Jason Donovan mp3 which I just deleted. Honest, I really did.

[Twinfan]

ABBA for me!

Great, great song writing but such clever production too.  Love 'em!

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.

Yes, maybe the correct term would be 'schizophrenic for The Beach Boys', not crazy. I like all the Beach boy's stuff... even the cheese made when Brian was 'in bed' (and all their solo albums too)  :D

Is Alison Krauss too cool to mention now that she's worked with Plant? Bluegrass keeps going in-and-out of style  :?

[sgmypod]

Only like Krauss when she wrote/produced for Nickel creek

[MDV]

Theres nothing I like that I dont think I should. Thats just silly. There are plenty of things that I like that I shouldnt if you mean 'shouldnt' by music thats usually opposed to what I like the most (metal) in some sort of pigeon holing tribal subculture way, then theres quite a bit - I like a lot of blues, jazz, classical, and some pop, 80s rock and folk.

It does amuse me from time to time to let people think that something or other annoys me because its not metal enough/too pop or whatever (by just remaining silent on the matter; seems to do the trick - I figure if they want to think that Madness or Bon Jovi or Pet shop boys or Lady gaga or something innocuous and pleasant enough like that gets my goat, then thats what they're going to play to try to wind me up, thus avoiding them playing music that really will drive me up the wall)

[Fourth Feline]

I agree with MDV , that no personal musical pleasure should be deemed right or wrong as such ; so I nominate my   'confuse the casual visitor '  choices as :

Tom Waits

Michael McDonald

Gretchen Peters

Steely Dan

Curtis Stigers ( Jazz Covers era )

Dan Fogelberg .

Gustav Mahler.

Portishead

( and even Black Label Society for weight lifting practice  )  :o

I'd have thought the average cat would consider Motorhead and Deep Purple far more naff than The Bee Gees and especially The Beach Boys, both of whom are all but deified to the general radio listener.

I think they'd be right, too  :lol:

[shobet]

80s synth pop, love the $%&#ing stuff.

I'm still not going to let you bum me, no matter how whiney you get. I've told you, £8.50 minimum.

Aren't they?  :?

Nope.  I hate the Beach Boys almost as much as I hate ABBA.

[Prawnik]

Steely Dan is not embarrassing. Far from it.

I like quite a few Pet Shop Boys songs, and a lot of the songs off Justin Timberlake's first album. Gorgeous melodies and his voice and production fits them perfectly.
