sorry — i have the most embarrassing ipod…Partridge Family, Barry Manilow, Cher, Grease, sit side-by-side with Journey, Styx, Streisand, Joel, E. John, Backstreet Boys,Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Classical, hall&Oates, Seals&Crofts, ENGLAND DAN AND JOHN FORD COLEY fror god’s sake!
why should you be guilty about liking Sugar Ray? they were awesome, some of late 90s/early 2000s pop-rock at it’s finest. and of course they had the wonderful southern cali vibe.
I own every boy band album. Yes–every Backstreet Boy and ‘NSYNC as well as O-Town, LFO, BBMak, 98 Degrees…heaven help me. The worst? They are all on my I-Pod!
My wife called me out on this recently. For as much time as I make fun of the lyrics in “bitchy white girl music” (Avril Lavine, Lilly Allen), I seem to know all these songs by heart.
So it’s time to admit it. I love whiny chick pop songs. The whinier and more obnoxious the lyrics, the easier to make fun of the song. Actually, i love making fun of all pop music (especially alt rock lyrics because they all sound like whiney overpriveledged kids complaing about how much life stinks), but you can’t make fun of this stuff without loving it just a little.
But don’t tell anyone, okay?
To 1234: IMO, there’s NOTHING embarrassing about liking Billy Joel and Elton John. Well, I haven’t cared for most of Elton’s stuff since the 70
s (and he had a few good songs in the early-mid 80′s and again in the late 90′s/early 00′s) but I always felt like Billy Joel (who hasn’t made a new rock album since 1993) really went out on top of his game. They’re both in the R&R Hall of Fame, Joel’s in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame (not sure about Elton/Taupin), and they both continue to fill arenas and even stadiums, together or apart. They’re legends, and their music has endured. The only knock on Joel is how he hasn’t done anything new in so long, and essentially become an oldies act. But they’re damned good oldies!
Michael Slezak, in another world we would be IPod soulmates. By the way, you forgot Res, and Rebekah.
My first concert ever was MxPx and Good Charlotte at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia…followed by the Backstreet Boys later that summer. These days I secretly blast the Mamma Mia soundtrack when no one is home.
I admit that last night I purchased Lady Gaga’s entire album “The Fame” from amazon music.
=X
To Shaun: I didn’t mean that there was anything embarrassing about elton and billy (LOVE them and see then whenever they are in town)..i was making a point about the eclectic nature of the true “crap” sitting side by side with the non-crap
One name – Aqua.
Luckily I smartened up before I bought the second album.
I’m guilty of buying Sisqo’s “Unleash the Dragon” (and enjoying the title track).
However, my most shameful purchase is still the “Night at the Roxbury” soundtrack, which I still pump (mostly) unironically from my car.
I have some Andy Gibb- my first concert!
I have tons of “boy band” music- Backstreet, N’Sync, C-Note, O-Town, LFO, New Kids.. etc, one-hit wonders (LOVED the Kina song,gotta dig that out later), AI losers/winners cds.. my friends tell me my taste in music is horrible, but I like my music!!!
“Big Willie Style” was so groundbreaking, I had no choice but to snap up “Willenium.”
Matchbox 20′s 3rd disc, “More Than You Think You Are” is one of the best pop/rock records ever, no matter what 1,001 rock critics say – I’ll take that over any Nine Inch Nails CD ANYDAY! I also have every Chicago disc – another act rock snobs turn their nose up at – even their embarrassing stab (and “stab” is the right word) at disco on “Chicago 13″ – (remastered with bonus tracks!). Hey, Chicago was the first concert I went to (I was 14). Give me credit, though – I don’t have Elton John’s disco album anymore (A nine-minute disco version of “Johnny B. Goode” – what was he thinking?!!!).
