Okay, bands that I should be embarassed of but not (by prog standards, I still love 'em)

Incubus (As GS said earlier, Brandon Boyd rules, and I love Einzinger's style of playing)

The Offspring(Wanna listen to simplistic thrash, but don't have the time? Here's a one minute or so dose! yes, I know they're not thrash, but they helped me get into it)

Dragonforce : basically if Malmstein played every instrument as he does guitar, it's what it'd sound like (don't have an album though.....yet)

Weezer (hey, it was my first concert, and though I still don't listen to them much, I still like them)

Bands I get ridden by my friends for liking:

OPETH- I constantly get made fun of for liking "death metal"

Sigur Ros- I get made fun of for listening to stuff that's too light....contradiction much?

The Mars Volta (well this is only one friend) says they're "emo" but he freaking listens to Relient K , CHRISTIAN EMO!!!

aand that's that

I'm probably the only one here who listens to a good deal of indie (bloc party, death cab, modest mouse etc.)
Weird Al, but not embarrassed in anyway about that Smile

Not really embarassed but I like some material from bands that many people reject or disdain, like: Beach Boys, Monkees, Simon & Garfunkel, Mamas & Papas, Bread, America, Creedence, Jackson 5, Lovin' Spoonful, Elton John (70s stuff), Midnight Oil, REM, Guns 'N Roses, etc.
 
For the Brazilian side, the same applies for Taiguara, Ivan Lins, Diana Pequeno, Ednardo, Guilherme Arantes, Belchior, A Cor Do Som, Engenheiros, Raimundos, etc. but not everything they produced.Wink

I could speak also for Guilherme Arantes; it's a pity he's so underrated, for he has some very nice songs. As for non-Brazilian music, I would gladly name some long beloved band from the eighties, but alas, no Duran-Duran, no A-ha, no U2 and no Bon Jovi in my collection.

But luckily I do have a Madonna CD.

Hey, the Beach Boys are phenomenal-- ever heard 'Smiley Smile'? The original is a truly unique and bizarre piece of progressive pop. Brian Wilson may be the first actual progressive rock musician...there, I've said it.

I guess The chemicall brothers or Beck. Not really embarrased, but my friends give me a funny look whenever I display the "non-traditional" musical choices. I'm pretty much catalogued as the prog guy. Little they know, I'm also into those jazzy mellow tunes from old Hollywood movies (I love to dance when one of those songs is played by melancholic Pub owners when the night is almost over for them). Apart from that, I truly admire much of the pure folckloric music from this country, wich include very sad and melodramatic melodies, loved by the popular culture around here. I see some value on those themes of broken hearts and miserable existence (there's no way to explain this, is much too ideosyncratic and related to lower levels of this society; perhaps a very blue country song could be close, but not close enough).
