music that you like secretly

Cantankerous · 02.29.2008, 12:31 AM

this is a thread dedicated to all the music people secretly like or listen to. so tell us.

lily allen (she is so adorable and as far as pop music today goes -- ace.)

Is this like one of those "guilty pleasures" threads?

If so I hope we don't have to go through everyone coming out and saying how they're not ashamed and everything. Going out of one's way to prove one's honest makes me doubt it even more.

That said I can't think of anything for me.

I am ashamed to listen to Elton John, I blame my BF. Also Garbage.

Cantankerous · 02.29.2008, 01:03 AM

elton john was good in the early 70s. garbage is a terrible rip off of curve, however.

✌➬ · 02.29.2008, 01:04 AM

Yes, but I still like them. Oh yes My Chemical Romance, there I said it.

Pookie · 02.29.2008, 01:04 AM

This thread will very soon be filled with people saying, you shouldn't be ashamed of the music you like etc.

But I disagree, you should seriously have a word with yourself if you find yourself liking anything by Elton John.

And Saturnine, you only like Lily Allen because she's got the same name as you. You might think twice about liking her if you see her chat show. She's ANNOYING!

Cantankerous · 02.29.2008, 01:05 AM

it should be spelled lilly. is she really that annoying? i thought she was just a bit outspoken.

I know, I am not indie enough.

Pookie · 02.29.2008, 01:08 AM

No, annoying is the word. Anybody can be outspoken, I don't understand why that's a good thing. Doing it with wit, style or vitriol would be better.

Your not American you wouldn't get it.

Pookie · 02.29.2008, 01:09 AM

Just to contradict myself, and be serious, I don't think anybody should be ashamed of the music they like.

Me? I have to admit to liking the last Morrisey single, the first post Smiths thing he's done that I have liked.

Pookie · 02.29.2008, 01:12 AM

In different times, I would have been embarrassed about liking Wanda Jackson, but I think it's acceptable these days(?) In ten years time, I may have to be ashamed again, who knows.

ZEROpumpkins · 02.29.2008, 01:12 AM

Weezer (first two albums)

sonicl · 02.29.2008, 01:18 AM

Why the hell should anyone be embaressed by what music they like? Should I be embaressed for liking Cheddar Cheese because it's not a cool indie cheese? Should I only eat it in private for fear it might spoil my cred?

I like what I like. I've done nothing of which to be ashamed.

Yes

Sonic Youth 37 · 02.29.2008, 01:40 AM

The Sounds. Swedish synth pop/punk. I enjoy it. I really do. I hate ABBA though.

Death & the Maiden · 02.29.2008, 02:29 AM

The Caesars. They're the Swedish band that did the "Jerk It Out" song a few years ago, and I loved it, and bought some of their albums. Every now and then, I'll listen to some of their songs on my iPod.

ZEROpumpkins · 02.29.2008, 03:58 AM

Was Jerk It Out the song used on the iPod ads?

but the record is really well produced and most songs are well written.
So yeah, stop listening to her banter if you don't like her "public persona" and stick to the record like I do. ha ha. And my name is non lily/lilly/allen/alien wathever.
But it's not a secret that I like that album...hmmmm....secret secret...I really don't know what to post, I'm not ashamed of the stuff I like
