There's a couple groups on that list that, while not being paragons of awesomeness, aren't wholly bad. I can still tolerate Shaggy in small doses. His style is different enough to keep him out of the pop gutter, in my opinion. That said, I enjoyed him more when he was with Maxi Priest.
I wouldn't punish yourself too much over the Green Day either. Years ago, they were actually a fairly respectable group. By all accounts, 'Dookie' was a good album and it didn't try to play to any crowd. They just got whored out like nobody's business after the initial success. Frankly, I don't consider the current incarnation with their mascara and silk ties to be the same group. They're like "Pod People Green Day". Wasn't Five the born-again Christian version of Backstreet Boys? My aunt used to be a fundamentalist Christian and would only permit my cousins to listen to Christian music. During one visit, the oldest cousin wouldn't shut up about that Five group, which leads me to believe they were steeped in religion. Me, I didn't have too much that's incriminating. And if I listened to it then, chances are I'll still listen to it now. Fuck what people think of me. I'm pretty sure I still have the following floating around somewhere: Aqua Sixpence None the Richer Chumbawamba Lou Bega (this was given to me; I didn't buy it.) Real McCoy I could think of much worse than those. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

What on earth is wrong with "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"? Have you even listened to that album in its entirity? "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" alone sets it head and shoulders above anything else mentioned in this thread. That album is considered by many to be a timeless classic, a record whose brilliance will endure throughout generations. I tend to agree. I think we can all finally look beyond Elton John's flamboyance long enough to say that the man is a gifted musician and songwriter. He will always be in a much higher league than Britney Spears, DMX, Creed and Aqua. I will proudly admit that I own this album and listen to it often. It's fantastic and definitely nothing to be ashamed of. Most amazing jew boots |
