Oh Dear. Um, disturbingly I find I quite liked Kylie's last three singles (well, maybe not the one in the middle so much). Should I seek help?
some Shakira
oh, and I sort of like Christina Aguilara's new song Beautiful. I know, it's sad.
But who knows, maybe now that some of these ex-teen pop stars and boy bands are older and getting laid/drunk/high/depressed on a regular basis, they'll make some decent music.
If we could just hook Barney up with Christina...
"She F*&$ing Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd (whaddya know, a nu-metal song with a sense of humor!)

Do I smell another "Dancing Queen" fan in the house? (It's okay, we'll work through it together)
something I'm not ASHAMED of particularly, but just found to my liking despite my huge Anglophilia, was the song "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" off of O Brother, Where Art Thou. (but I've probably already mentioned that before)

daaaancing queen, young and sweet! only 17! *ahem*
maybe my love of abba is the fact i'm part swedish.?!
Well, while driving today, and searching through the radio dial, came across some AC/DC, and I didn't turn the dial. Turned up the volume in fact and smiled, in memory of a friend.
crash test dummies. i owned their biggest selling record on cassette (something about god shuffling his feet).
lemonheads. i don't care what people say about evan dando, he writes good pop songs and let's leave it at that.
the kylie's can't get you out of my head is a more recent guilty pleasure.

What is wrong with the Lemonheads? "It's about time" is one of my all time favourites and their take on Mrs. Robinson is far better than the original.
As for musical sins, although my taste is nearly spotless I must admit I like Republic a lot. :o
And I have a soft spot for 80's pop music: Duran Duran, Living in a Box, China Crisis, Woodentops, Eurithmics, The Cure, Johny hates Jazz... I put it down to the eighties being my teenage years.
Oh, and I like Bavarian folk songs (they make me think of lager, huge glasses of lager...)

The Lemonheads have been excellent since Lovey - it's a bit of a shame (about Ray) that ED preferred feeding his nose to writing songs since Car Button Cloth.
I rather like the Sugarbabes. There, I've said it.
Not physically, perish the thought. Which estate did they dredge that lot up from? But I do have a grudging admiration for their choooons (sh*t, I've now got that Round Round thing going, well, round in me head again).

Sugababes are class! ![]()
I like how their dancing consists of pretty much standing in the same spot, looking really grumpy and doing the occasional flick of the wrist.
I wish I'd have been that cool and hard-faced at 16, rather than a gibbering female Kevin the Teenager...

you should never be ashamed about liking duran duran! simon, john, nick, andy and roger were and are '80s pop-new wave uber-gods and will live on as such for all eternity. i used to have a life-sized poster of john taylor hanging above my bed back in '84. that man was fierce. he could almost fly away with that hair....

Ok, here goes (deep breath)...one of my fave singles of the year has to be Justin Timberlake 'Like I Love You'. That guitar riff is just so bloody infectious, and I'm always a sucker for a song with talkie bits - think it must have something to force fed Barry White has youngster ![]()

Originally posted by Hank Wiseass© I quite like a couple of that Iglesias kid's tracks. Don't know the names of the top of my head.
"Love To See You Cry" is probably one of them. Top tune.
I like Shakira. The Sugababes are fabulous. "Escape" by Enrique Iglesias is brilliant. Dire Straits have made a lot of cracking stuff. Abba are Gods of popular music. Def Leppard have made some hugely enjoyable songs. So have Bon Jovi. "Wild Boys" is pish, but I have a soft spot for Duran Duran. "One Of These Nights" by the Eagles - who I have seen live, though in fairness accompanying an Eagles fan - is immense.
Please don't shun me. ![]()

I second that.
I gotta say, sometimes Bob Seger doesn't seem so bad. Sure, most of his stuff's crap, but when you got a choice between listening to him on one station or Michael Bolton on another, your best bet is with Seger

i also like shakira and 'escape' by our enrique. and i've already established my undying love for duran duran. the eagles--done some good stuff ('take it easy' comes to mind). def leppard as well. can't agree with you on bon jovi (except for 'runaway'. good song, that one.), i'm afraid.
bon jovi will never hold a candle to...
...the scorpions. 'rock you like a hurricane' rocks my world like a hurricane.
new order....
yes. in my country (god knows why) everybody´s confused about new order. saying things like
"oh, yes, strangelove is a great song" or
"new order?... that´s the one...? ah, no, I was thinking about erasure"
and suddenly everyone starts making jokes about your favourite band. that makes me shut my mouth up everytime anyone says something about what´s your favourite band... sad, isn´t it? ![]()
i've just discovered my forgotten guilty favourite...Brandy. if she gets a best of out...i'm gonna get that.
Originally posted by Paul Roy I like Shakira as well. Well more for her booty shaking then the music
Is Shakira the one who does, what's it called?, 'objection tango'? Or is that someone else? Whoever it is, is it not a bit of a rip off of B52's Rock Lobster?

Also, I like POP WILL EAT ITSELF. They're not popular here in my country, but they're gorgeous. Their last compilation CD is quite good, it's called PWEI ANTHOLOGY 1986-1994. Buy it! :)

Good! They did a song called Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina for Italia 90 World Cup, which is a interesting song. Funny.

Destiny's Child and the Sugababes are top; no shame in liking 'em! I've also got a soft spot for Def Leppard; my sis was a rocker when she was younger and she used to play that kind of thing all the time, so I kind of grew up on it. Duran Duran are my guiltiest musical pleasure, though - please don't hate me!
Hum, Destiny's Child (even got the Christmas album...) some Atomic Kitten (Whole again and the Tide is High cover...) and also All Saints, Shakira Paul Young and ABBA...
Your my love clićhe, your my love clićhe, your my love clićhe and i like it that way.
Incredibly cheesy but annoyingly catchy, its Discosis 3000 or something, a few Barney'isms in the lyrics if you listen carefully!!!
Music I like: The Smiths one side of the spectrum. VNV Nation, Apop on the other.
What I'm really ashamed of?
How 'bout J.Lo
Yes, Jenny from the Block! ![]()

Thanks Major, when I read your post I was just wishing I had a photograph of them, something to remind me!
Yes, I wonder why "X-Men" producers lost all that time and money to hire that Hugh Jackman fella to play Wolverine when Mr. Seagull was P-E-R-F-E-C-T for the job!
I am now secretly a Kylie fan...oops...secret's out...
damn!!!
been listening to Fever...and Kylie sounds like a horny little thing....
I own S Club 7 CDs and like the show. Ok I spilled the beans. Its good goofy pop crap but I like it.They are kind of the new Monkeeys

if u listen to it, its actually pretty cool but i know someone is gonna say something about this
Well, once I was a great fan of A-ha (in 1985-1987). Currently, I like Kylie's "I Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head", why could it be? Also I like A Flock Of Seagulls and PSB, but I'm not ashamed of this. Not musicaly, Avril Lavigne is very, very, very hot and beautiful. But her music sucks, sure!
Oh, I forgot saying that earlier than A-ha, I was a great Julio Iglesias' fan (1980 to 1984), can you sorry me? I was only 6 to 10 years old, and my grandmother used to bought me all his recordings. And I liked them a lot!
I've always been brave about my music, even back in high school when I was lugging my Bee Gees and Aerosmith albums to drafting and art class. I threatened to hit a guy with an Iron Maiden album that I was buying when he made fun of Careless Whisper by Wham that I had in the same stack.

Surely Careless Whispers was just George Michael?
Not so sure about Wham! - they made a couple of good pop songs, and most of the rest of them were just utter mince. But George Michael has made some excellent stuff, fine voice.
And Iron Maiden are good fun, Aerosmith are excellent...the Bee Gees are/were more patchy.

The band was pretty popular in a lot of the asian communities back then. You could usually find the CDS in the asian markets.
A lot of stuff I liked before high school is pretty embarrassing... I was into all the stuff in the teen pop scene around 1996-1998: Spice Girls, Hanson, Robyn, Ace of Base, Aqua, Cher (Believe), Celine Dion. And compared to BSB or Britney I think those artists aren't too bad, I still get out the discs once in a while when I need to be cheered up.
Some of the 80s stuff I like is considered pretty contrived, like the Bangles, and Cyndi Lauper. But both are original and esp. Cyndi never went along with what the public wanted her to do! Some of her records are very rewarding (1996's Sisters of Avalon, for example).
