My closet Fave has to be Love/Hate, I started listening to them years
ago. Thrill to such P.C. masterpieces as Ola Mola (ethnic caricatures).
Tap your feet and sing along to "party tunes" like Beer Money, or One
More Round (self explanatory). Bring back that feminist poetry-reading
chick to your pad and slap Gang Bang Slavegirl (also self-explanatory)
on your sound system. Love/Hate were.... unenlightened... like a lot of
the LA rock bands of the time, but they had a crudity and
unpleasantness that the other bands couldn't match.
Ah, to look back and laugh.

I love *NSYNC. I have a thing for Joey Fatone. I so do. I will watch
anything on TV that has him. First, it started out as "wow, that
guy's all scummy! He's out of place!" and then it was, "yeah, but he's
kind of... cute." I even have marionettes of *NSYNC. *NSYNC good.
I duuno, I like all sorts of stuff. Mostly Britpop. It's shameful to
like Gay Dad, no? I like Gay Dad.

If classical is embarrasing, colour me pink. Of course, most of my
classical music is Baroque or earlier. I used to think it was all
downhill since Papa Bach died, until I realised: it's all been downhill
since Pope Gregory died.
Orff is probably the most embarrasing thing there.
Other things that would probably bring a screech:

Rush is a really good band, although I dislike a lot

because I had a roommate who pretty much used
Rush as his own personal Yoda, it was scary).
No reason to be embarrassed.

Oh, come -on-. Embarrassed of liking Culture Club and Cyndi Lauper?
According to you guys, I should be embarrassed of my entire music
collection (which is available for public consumption at
http://www.angelfire.com/goth/stellar/mymusic.html). I've got
everything from ABBA to Frank Zappa (literally), and if I had to say
there's one I'm a bit shy about mentioning, it'd be the Monkees. :)
I think a good 85% of my music is so ungothy, most would freak. But
nevertheless, I'm quite proud of my fondness for the eighties, and I
never said I was goth to begin with. I'm just here. And I am just
me. :)

I've a few albums remaining, mostly 70's and 80's stuff I'm not at all

Are you kidding? My lack of taste is legendary dammit. :)
Most of it revolves around bad 80's pop - Culture Club, Milli Vanilli, Salt
'n Pepa, Technotronic, Juice Newton (good gawd...did I really just say
that?!), Tiffany...I could go on and on.
And, of course, we haven't even touched on my all-time fave big-hair bands
of the 80's - Poison, Dokken, Ratt, Faster Pussycat, Motley Crue,
Cinderella, Bon Jovi...ack...I could go on and on here too...
But the one that really has The Boy hanging his head in shame to be seen
with me lately is Eminem. There doesn't appear to be any defense for that
one...

I don't understand why it's embarrassing to like Yaz, Queen and Big
Audio Dynamite. -Or- Billy Joel, -or- Weezer....I have all of the
above. And it doesn't embarrass me in the least. But, then again,
one of my specialties is being able to spout off lyrics from nearly
any band played on today's "normal" radio anyway. I'm kind of a
walking musical dictionary in that respect.

I can see being embarassed over Shania Twain, since I'm embarassed over her
too. But... "so you say you're... Brad Pitt?"
But as for Vince Gill? Hell, he's one of the finest guitar players alive, no
shame in liking that.
I have to admit a pathetic weakness for Randy Travis, mostly the song "Love
You Forever, Amen".
And every now and then I hear some blast from the past in the form of Lynyrd

Most people I know secretly like Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have this horrible
tendancy to yell "FREEBIRD!!!" at bands when I see them live. I saw
Wheatus (The Teenage Dirtbag Song people) and when I yelled that at the
lead singer he gave me a somewhat puzzled look. At least Sisters of
Mercy played Sweet Home Alabama when we did that. :D

When we saw Dag Julian perform a summer or two ago some one "requested"

When I was a kid, I had a thing for Prince.
Now mind you, the VCR was new technology for me at the time.
I used to tape music videos, though. I taped the "when Doves Cry"
video and would fast forward it, thinking if I made it move faster,
I'd be able to see his ass before he crawled off the screen. Not only
did my mom find this clearly stupid thing well, stupid, but I think
she was less than thrilled that her 8 year old daughter was so
desperate to see some ass.

Nothing shameful about the pop-punk. I have all the Screeching Weasel

And Blink 182, which might actually be shameful, but they're fun,

Just checked out your collection on your site, and must say you've got good
taste... (definitely strange... but good...< I like that>)
I do think you're missing the subconscious intent of the thread... No one
posting is *actually* embarrassed about the music in their collections... it
is more of a identification of some of their more unusual items in contrast
to what would be considered "normal" for such a group of people... I would
actually pity the person who was so narrow in their interests that they
could only appreciate one type of music... regardless of what it was.
I liked "different" styles of music even when growing up. Growing up in the
'70s, overseas military tours in the '80s... it just added to my desire to
find new and different styles to fit my new and different moods. So each of
these eras hold important memories for me... Certain songs remind me of
special relationships... others remind me of trying times and emotional
tests... and some I like just because they had a catchy tune or a special
beat. My music reflects my life... both past AND present...

I loved editing the scenes from movies and music videos to make my own

days of flying erase heads?)
I had this one that was "When Doves Cry" and "Purple Rain".... over, and
over, and over.....

cleaning house to.... you guessed it.... Prince. It shouldn't have suprised
me, though. As a teenager, I came home one day and she was cleaning house to
my Japanese Koto Classics.... a record I found in a head shop in the '70s...

>Old Culture Club tapes...
I have several Culture Club albums, and I'm not in the least
bit embarrassed by them (though I understand that Donald sometimes is). I
still dance to those songs in clubs.
I thought about this poll for a whole two days, but I can't
come up with anything by way of answer, for myself. I have a _huge_ number
of awful records, but that's mostly because I used to review such things,
and for a while I was the only person in our office with a CD player, so I
got everything which turned up in that format... even Sarah
Brightman. <shudder> I have other music which _other_ people consider
embarrassing, but I'll happily defend any of it. [1] But then, I've never
concerned myself with being gother than anybody, and I figure I have a
fairly well developed sense of camp.

>Mine are:
>Shania Twain
Generally speaking, if somebody made mainstream music during
the 'nineties, I don't know who sie is. People occasionally slag me off
for being so ignorant, for refusing to listen to that type of radio
station... then they bitch about the shite they have stuck in their heads,
realise that doesn't happen to me, and tend to see my point. All that I
know about modern music I gleaned from verbosely tripping gay friends and
the pages of the 'National Enquirer'.
Shania Twain is an exception.
Long before I heard any of her music, I observed the effect
which she had on Adsevin. Adsevin is normally a calm, quiet kind of
person, not given to violent bursts of rage. I never heard her rant about
anything else the way she ranted about that woman and the evil she has
done to country music. Never mind the evil she has done to the general
reputation of women. So when something came on the jukebox and I was told
it was Shania, I paid attention for once.
For that temporary lapse of form, I have paid an awful price.
Now, every time I go into a shop where one of Ms Twain's
dreadful songs is playing, I recognise it (her snide, yappy voice,
somewhat reminiscent of a yorkshire terrier after one too many alcopops,
is hard to miss) and I notice the lyrics. It really is painful. Several
tons of self-important adolescent angst and smugness condensed into three
minutes of unimaginative verse and chorus repetition. I cannot think of
any punishment which could be sufficient in this case; I only hope that,
one day, age and experience will enable Ms Twain to see the error of her
ways; and that, thereafter, she is strapped to a chair and forced to
listen to her entire back catalogue until she hates it as much as I do.

That's a man whom I can only listen to in small doses, because
he can overdo it with the sugar; but I do like a lot of his stuff. I think
he pushes it very close to the edge in terms of sentimentalism. When he
gets away with it, it's interesting.
>i own and occasionally enjoy listening to the soundtrack from hair.
I like 'Frank Mills'. It's a sweet song. I only have the
Lemonheads' version, though, which my ex taped for me.

Boy George's voice is always worth listening to live. Age has
only made it stronger. And his hats are wonderful. :)

I like a lot of Prince's stuff. Almost saw him live back in
'87, but the gig was rescheduled, and when we were offered the option of
our money back my friend and I accidentally spent it on some clothes we'd
fallen in love with instead. Oops.

'Purple Rain' is a truly awful, almost unbearably
self-indulgent film. I love it. I had to beg and beg Donald to let me tape
it. Wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's been 'accidentally' taped over
by now. I used to listen to that album all the time, back in the days
before most people figured me for a goth, when they would generally assume
I was a Prince fan because of the amount of purple I wore.

I like Orff. :) And Bach. And Prokofiev and Shostakovich
and Schumann; and Rachmaninov, not just as a composer but especially as a
pianist.
I have always figured that I would greatly enjoy being able
to dance to the occasional classical piece in a club, but I don't think
it's ever likely to happen.

I say they are!!!

And Tang. Dream (at least one of the guys) did the song

Amongst the Culture Club and Prince records I found in
my basement, there's also a 45 of.. "Who's Johnny" by
El DeBarge.
*sigh*
I bought some fucked-up stuff when I was younger.

Of all the artists in my CD or mp3 collections, the only one that people roll
their eyes at when I mention her is Milla Jovovich.
Of course, this is only because my Warlock, Smashed Gladys and Boney M records
never come out in front of visitors...
