Also, the artist currently under my recently played tracks on my last.fm sig is probably the closest I'll come to a guilty pleasure (though I don't feel guilty about it at all).

Oh yes, how could I forget. 80s synth pop and ballads. Duran Duran, Laura Branigan's Self Control, Glenn Medeiros' Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting and an endless flow of other classics.

You might like Junior Boys from this decade.  Their album Last Exit is a deliciously dark take on synth pop.

My Heart Will Go on Thumbs Up

I'm a proud listener of the Russian fake lesbian pop duo t.A.T.u. Every single person to whom I showed my top 100 favourite songs list last autumn commented on their song All About Us being included. Love it Heart It's probably the most surprising of my favourite bands but why be embarrassed.

I read the allmusicguide description of Cypress Hill, it sounds awesome.  Definitely high on my wishlist.

Get that Wu-Tang album ASAP.  Took me a few listens to really get into it, but it has yet to stop growing on me.


ahh I see. I thought that was just a name of an MF Doom projectEmbarrassed

First four CH albums are classics, especially Black Sunday and IV.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I've been meaning to get that wu tang album for a while....

BTW about Madvillain... he did a little EP with Clutchy Hopkins,a folky funk genius... here it is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/136846570/mf_doom_meets_clutchy_hopkins-the_life_of_clutchy_hopkins-_crate_digler_-promo-2006-soup.rar
(free promo EP)

It comes free when you order Clutchy's first album... they all work as instrumentals, with lyrics by Madvillain/MF Doom mixed in later. Genius imo.

Btw Year of the rat pwns. I like it more when punk bands have a flatter production tho... it;s all spacy and echoey.

Haven't heard that one yet, but I'll check it out.

My favorite is Wu-Tang Clan's immortal debut, followed by Madvillain's Madvillainy and A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory.

Seriously, though, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and the first round of solo albums (Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Uncontrolled Substance, Liquid Swords, Tical, and more that I'm forgetting, I'm sure, as well as some of the later ones like Fishscale) are the pinnacle of what hip-hop has to offer IMO.

I didn't even grow up with it.  My younger brother had Waterloo, and man I knew better than to like that, but so it was.  Damn that Mouth & MacNeal and their How Do You Do.  That was the nefarious starting point.

^Agreed on Public Enemy... Approve From what I know Tupac is generally more chill than biggie... I like him a little more.

My favorite rap album would be Black Sunday though.

Check it out, it\s awesomeWink

I don't know Tupac but Biggie is great.  NWA have never been a favorite, they're good but I'll stick to Public Enemy, who have similar but better production.


Regarding the thread title, if I like it, then I have to reason to be embarassed about it!

"You're My Heart, You're My Soul" is a classic. Céline Dion has some amazing stuff as well. Her vocals are sometimes a bit annoying, but she really sounds great when she's not over doing it. I've always loved "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and "My Heart Will Go On", for example.
 
Dead
i think im going to be sick
"My Heart Will Go On" is the worst song in the history of music, this is something I will always stand by
 
After a girl I tried to impress last year knew "My heart will go on" on the piano, I started learning how to play it. Now she's gone, every pianist in the school can play it, and I refuse to play it by request.
 
But sometimes I take out a viking helmet in my band teacher's room and sing it viking style (harshly, sort of like cookie monster but more, for lack of a better word, melodic).
 
Anyways, I have a soft spot for a pop punk band called The Matches that I loved several years ago. I also enjoy Green Day from time to time.
 
Also, after a talk with my metalhead friends we decided that Blink 182 was a band that as much as we know that they suck, and as horrible as they are, and as much as we hate to admit it, we love them. NO SHAME FOR ME!!!
