Now this can be funny. We all have a band we love in our collection that most people dislike, or whatever. Which is yours ? I'll tell you mine a bit later on!

Not at all... I actually don't see anything as embarrassing, music-wise. However, ELP seem to be the prog band that most people love to hate, so this is why I mentioned them. I don't really have any other musical skeletons in the closet.

I'm not ashamed really of any band I listen to. If I like it, then it must be good music! Anyway here's a list of bands that many people give me crap for listening to: Incubus (Brandon Boyd rules, I don't care if they're pop) Presidents of the USA (yes, the guys who brought you "Peaches") Andrew WK (only because there is a local band that does A. WK covers, and they are the most fun live shows EVER) Phil Collins (yeah, I have No Jacket Required on vinyl. get over it.) ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Nothing I'm ashamed to like, but there is quite a bit I wouldn't play out loud when my parents are home. Examples include Magma (I think they'd disown me... ), Island, some VdGG, Taal, Hoyry-Kone/Alamaailman Vasarat, and some others.And I love Spock's Beard/Neal Morse, no matter how cheesy it might be. -------------

If I like a band - they must be playing good music, great music or superb music, otherwise what I would like them for? So what could possibly be embarassing in loving good music?

Thinking about it - the only embarassing could be some dirty lyrics. For example there is Russian guy called Alexandre Laertskiy, whose lyrics can be quite embarrassing, and I would not play his opuses in front of parents, children or certain women, but again, I am not embarrassed at all to have his works in my collection.

I've got her live album, and it rocks!And Stonie, as for Whitesnake, I used to be a major fan of theirs - when they were still a hard rock/blues British band, before they went hair-metal with "1987".

I like the odd 'hair metal' band- Skid Row, Cinderella, early Motley Crue, Twisted Sister are my favourites, but I draw the line at Warrant and much of Poison's cheesy output (they had the odd decent song though). None of these are amongst my fave bands everthough, to be honest...
AOR I like a great deal, particularly Boston, Journey, Toto (when they aren't peddling horrible cod reggae), Foreigner. Not exactly cool music but it has lots of great musicianship and fine vocals and songwriting.
I like 60s pop/rock too, particularly the mid 60s stuff.

I have a list for this thread:
Eminem
 (I have all the albums and I still like them. I think that if we are talking about the hip-hop/rap genre, he is the best IMO)Michael Jackson
(I only have "Thriller" and it's a great album IMO, it's a classic and I like it)Limp Bizkit
(I have "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Favored Water" and "Results May Vary" and still like them. At the moment, the band is dead)Linkin Park
(There are some songs of the band I really like. I have "Meteora" and "Hybryd Theory" and IMO both are very good ones)The Darkness
 (I only have "Permission to Land" and.............. I think it's a good hard rock album. I still enjoy it)Ramones
(Yeeeeeeeeeeeees, I really like this band and IMO is the best one in the punk genre. I have a lot of songs of them and like them all, specially: HEY HO, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)I want you to remember that this was before I get into prog (ELP, Jethro Tull, Opeth, Van der Graaf) though I still like all this albums.

Apart from my teenage years, when I used to listen to Queen and Guns 'n Roses, I cannot think of any single band or artist I am embarrassed about. Oh, I did have an Oasis album once... whatever possessed me, I have no clue, they are awful! Well one album I do have, which I don't find embarrassing is "Relish", by Joan Osborne. That is a great album! I also think "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age is a good album. One more... and actually a true embarrassment, because I made a big mistake, is the latest album by Coheed and Cambria. -------------

Absolutely nothing wrong with ZZ Top (pre 'Eliminator, of course  ), excellent blues band - I just wish I'd seen them in the 1970s, rather than in the matching-beards-revolving-guitars phase.
As far as liking embarrassing music is concerned though, I'll bet I can trump each & every one of you... I'm a big fan of... Wait for it... Ready? You'll choke... +++deep breath+++ SOFT CELL -------------

I should definitely introduce you to my dear, Ratt-loving symphonic partner in crime... He's an ELO freak! But then, all three of us have our own skeletons to hide...

I like Meat Loaf too! Though i think i'll have to do some further studies on ELO if i'm gonna impress one of the "three horsemen" or whatever you call yourselves, i don't think a compilation gives me the right to call them a closet skeleton, double-disc or not. (Maybe a pelvis and a leg, though). :) If i'm going to try coming up with my own guilty pleasure, hmm.. on a Prog board, i guess a fan of Bob Dylan might raise a few eyebrows, but he still has several albums on the rollings stones top albums of all times, so it's pretty easy to defend, in that way.. Also, Meat Loaf's (loaves? haha..) "i'd do anything for love" is 13 minutes, i think he should be added under "symphonic". Wohoo! I have to start a poll! (Not really, i'm just kidding, you know..) |

^ ELO is great, almost all of their albums are good until Time. Avoid Discovery and Xanadu then you can't go wrong really. My favorite ELO album is Time. Reason i posted them here is that i think they are more a mainstream AOR band than prog(related). I think ELO is more related to a band as for instance Fleetwood mac than ELP, especially their latter work. (These remarks can indeed run me into trouble with Mickey, Sorry in advance  )

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?

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). ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |
