*raises hand too* Though my best friend is obsessed with Tori. She wants to be the Amos. And her other best friend (a guy) is equally obsessed.

Er...since I'm not really a country music person, people get really surprised when I say I like Blue Rodeo. I think they're great. I don't have any of their cds, mind you, but I don't cringe when I hear them on the radio like I do for other country singers. Besides, I don't really consider them that country-ish anyway.

No one I know listens to video game music, so I get a few eyebrow lifts from that corner, but it's not something I'm embarassed to admit listening to.

You, my friend, need a CAT scan if you think you should EVER be ashamed to listen to The Cure. :p

Go back and listen to Jupiter Crash and tell me I'm wrong.

I'm not at all ashamed of the music I listen to. It's my choice, and if the people around me look at it differently, that is their problem. I have faith in my musical tastes after all.

Generally I'm not afraid to share my taste in music with other people around me. But I do recall being a little shy when turning up music from the 12 Girls Band. Surprisingly I got a good response out of it while playing the music during my lab class. Good times were had by all =p.

Embarrassment isn't quite the feeling. For the 'sake of simplicity', I normally don't mention that I listen anything other than Death Metal/Black Metal/Hardcore/Metalcore acts; Between the Burried and Me being a top choice. It's just unacceptable, among my peers of similar fandom, that I can tolerate nonaggressively or even enjoy *gasp* anything that doesn't sound like a high powered sink disposal.

Kind of a vague answer.

I'm a little embarrased about liking Alexisonfire, as most people think of them as mainstream "shitcore" around where I live. I also like Neil Young, a lot, and not many people are hardcore Neil Young fans like I am, so it's a bit embarrasing when people find out I like Neil Young that much...

I must admit that I like 'Save the Best 'till last' by Vanessa Williams. I will be handing my penis over shortly.

Majority of the people I hang out with are hiphop rap or r&b lovers. I happen to lend my ipod to a friend and totally forgot that there was a genre, 'polka' in there (weird al). As stupid as some of his songs are, i just can't delete them. I need to have a complete album--the good songs and the bad--or no album at all and sometimes you just need something idiotic to keep you sane through the last years of college life.

I remember being ashamed like hell for being a H.I.M fan when I was younger... but that's a long time ago so...

For a while i was going through a german music obsession. Along the way i picked up In Extremo, Tanzwut and some other stuff that didn't stick quite as much. Upon my recent purchase of an ipod, i put everything i have on it, and often play it on shuffle. I end up finding old stuff i don't listen to anymore. My friend was listening to it the other day and an In Extremo song came up (for those of you who don't know, they're heavy metal with bag pipes. Sort of folky metal...... yeah well i think it's cool.) and the first words out of his mouth were "What the Fuck?".

Among the old stuff i don't listen to anymore that don't really match my advertised taste would be Tanzwut, In Extremo, Rob Zombie, Foo Fighters, Metallica, and *shudders* Sum 41, but i got rid of them quite quickly. I can't stand them anymore.

Daphne Loves Derby. I know I shouldn't like them. It's a slab of pure cheese, but I can't deny that a large portion of me enjoys them. Maybe because I really don't listen to my the lyrics half of the time.

Classical music and ONLY classical music :D

Sometimes I enjoy to listening to other types of music but classical is really the one genre of music I listen to on a constant basis.

I have to admit that Kelly Clarkson has grown on me. Also, Minnie Driver (yes, the actress) has some songs that I like.

xman25

I listen to just about anything and everything.. the only things that I have that really embarass me are the various Disney soundtracks I've collected over the years.. some of that is good music, man.

oh, and Bloodhound Gang

The theme song for Arthur, one of the best cartoons ever made. Nobody knows about this. ;)

Every day when you're
Walking down the street,
Everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view.
And I say - Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of day
If we could learn to work and play
And get along with each other.

You gotta listen to your heart,
Listen to the beat,
Listen to the rhythm,
The rhythm of the street.
Open up your eyes.
Open up your ears.
Get together
And make things better
By working together.

It's a simple message,
And it comes from the heart.
Believe in yourself,
For that's the place to start.

And I say - Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of day
If we could learn to work and play
And get along with each other.

Hey! What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!
What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!

Hah! I always find myself humming the tune to this song when I'm alone.


And there's nothing wrong with Simon and Garfunkel!

How can you be ashamed of a list with L' Arc en Ciel, and Stratovarious in it?

I like to listen to Vanilla Ice(ice ice baby) really loud and see if people dance...and they do, another good one is thriller.

I like to sing UB40 in my car. I love them.

And apparently I should be embarassed to listen to my THEME SONG cd's. they have things like TMNT, chip -n- dale rescue rangers, inspector gadget, and capt. planet. Good stuff!

Double Post:
I used to rush home from school to watch that with my sister!! Great show...now I am gonna have that one stuck in my head all day.

Heh, friends are recently trying to embarass me because I like the band T.A.T.U. Which they have some extremely catchy music, but oh well. More music for me to like I suppose. I can't get enough of their simple poppy songs.

I too enjoy Tori Amos, not for her lyrics, but her performance on the piano.

But this is the killer: There's this obscure 80's British pop artist named Toyah Willcox that me and a friend have been obsessed with for awhile. Well, my sister, my friend's girlfriend, and one of her male friends all got in my car to go to Taco Bell. Lo and behold, Toyah was ready in my CD player. I tried to turn it off, but the girls were like "no, we wanna hear your 80's stuff!". It was pretty embarrassing, because I knew they thought it was awful euro-pop trash. I tried to talk over Toyah; but she killed all conversation!

i'm not embarassed by what i listen too. my favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, and Metallica, but if there's one good song i should (but aren't) embarassed of is the pokemon song

I love Eurobeat, I am making an attempt to spread it around more to make it slightly more...well known

Rachel Stevens puts out some electronic-pop singles that any unabashed fan of the genre wouldn't be able to deny as being good, but apparently she's become such an embarrassment nobody wants to be seen buying her records and she's fallen by the wayside. This when the god-knows-why more credible Madonna is thriving with inferior electronic-pop records.

The situation is one at the root of what is wrong with music today.

That song rocks my stripey socks ;_;. I was staying at my nana's years ago when it was all the rage and she saw me watching it on some saturday morning show, ever since then she's bought me something pokemon for birthdays and such. I have 2 soundtracks, millions of toys, stickers, the works. Some of the music is pretty damn catchy, but still when it says pokemon a million times in the song I can't help but feel embarassed when I listen to it.
