The Eurythmics were a hell of a great band, and Annie Lennox's voice one of the very best on the whole music scene. I'd kill to have a voice like hers

I enjoy a good, long drumsolo. But PA is one of the few places you might not get laughed at or worse, for it.
Like most here, I'm not embarrassed for any music I like. |

I grew up with everything from Pink Floyd to James Last Orchestra, you can say I have become pretty open minded over the years.
Im not embarrased for any music I like either, and genre doesn't matter as long as I enjoy the music. Edited by Bj-1 - February 28 2009 at 08:38 |

I usually don't like Madonna, but Live to Tell and Frozen are two exceptions.

I also like a lot of eighties pop because of the science-fiction-y atmosphere it has.

I think songs like "Try Not To Breathe", "Sweetness Follows", "Nightswimming", "
The Great Beyond", "Bad Day", "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tongight", etc. are genious pop-rock. |

I suppose embarrassing music I like would be pretty much any top pop radio hit. They're short, repetitive and extremely catchy.

I love my Prog but on the other hand, I also love my Asian Pop (particularly J-Pop).

There's nothing embarrassing about R.E.M.
But did I mention I used to love Take That? |

And that is something I will never understand. I love drum solos and prefer them even over most guitar solos (especially shredding). Actually, I'm impartial to what instrument a solo is on as long as it's good. Be that a good bass solo, a good drum solo or a good anything else solo. |

I like second-rate thrash-metal bands such as Lawnmower Deth.

Well... Curiously, The Smiths and also Joy Division are great bands, although very distinct, that i genuine like. My friends use to laugh about it because they know what i like and use to play.
However and by the way I strongly recommend Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead for who thinks that Smiths are just how soon is now?, but is just my simple opinion...
Marr is a great composer/player and Rourke is one of the best bass players in 80's
Joy Division's Closer is a kind of masterpiece in your own genre like In the Court of The Crimson King, Atom Heart Mother, Close to the Edge or Thick as a Brick are for Prog fans...
Cheers!

It's funny to see what some of you are embarrassed to like when you should feel far more embarrassed about what you're not embarrassed to like.

Embarrasing music you like

Lifes Rich Pageant, Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Up, Reveal, brilliant albums all of them. The best gig I saw last year was R.E.M. at the Finnair Stadium in Helsinki in pouring rain and freezing wind, it was such a warm event. I think Diminished was number 5 on my Ultimate Song List thingy and there was another four or five of their songs in the top 100.
