Just a follow-up to the "Bands You Just Can't Into" thread...
I'm sure everyone out there has a band that they were into at one time or another that you would never admit to having liked publicly today, but, secretely, when no one's around....
For me, I was a HUGE Prince fan in the 80's...I think I watched "Purple Rain" at least 100 times back then and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread (it was on the other night and I must admit...that was one really bad movie). When I was young I was big into KISS as well (although, nowadays, its seems cool to like them again).
So all of you Menudu fans, it's time to finally come clean :mrgreen:
OK ...... :oops: There was only one song, but, I really liked Boy George's "Karma Chameleon" (OK ...... still do!)

Well, I would not admit this in front of anyone I know, but I have always dug the teeny boppin' sounds of Britney Spears! :oops:
Gak! I can't believe I would admit that! Actually, I wouldn't pay to go see a concert, but I do think many of the songs are cool, they do have that certain hook...
Sorry...I hope you all don't think less of me now... :mrgreen:

woo hoo. such honesty here. I love it.
my feet can't stop moving when I here the Jackson Five.... ABC, baby, you and me.
MJ's 'Billie Jean' and 'Beat it' ....my secret is out.
Well , at least all of your admissions are real people . I used to love the ... ARCHIES !! There , I said it . It's out in the open . :oops:
If I claim to be a wise man , it surely means that I don't know .
MJ's 'Billie Jean' and 'Beat it' ....my secret is out.Yeah, but that's not so bad. Eddie Van Halen's guitar work on "Beat it" is absolutely awesome!
Always a good topic. Brings out the best. :lol:
I had the Barry Manilow Live double album back in the day. So did my wife. We didn't know that about each other until about 18+ years of being married. :lol: :lol:
We've got it on CD now. :oops:

Prince and the Revolution RULZ!!! And I'm not ashamed to admit it!! :oops: :oops:
Well maybe a little. I love Prince.. always have

MJ's 'Billie Jean' and 'Beat it' ....my secret is out.
:lol: I was just listening to the Thriller album. I bought the darn cassette three times used and none worked. People really played that album into the ground. I ended up getting the record off my friend's dad.
+1 for Prince and Revolution.

Everything is 42..... again.

I love the J5. Even saw them in a big stadium show.
'I Want You Back' is perpetually near the top of my recently played list. I think I'm going to listen to it right now... :)

I have never been ashamed of the music I like, regardless of what other people think.
I liked quite a few of the "bubble-gum" hits in the late 60s and early 70s like:
I still listen to the Monkees, I especially liked A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You. This was written by Neil Diamond.

Sugar Sugar by the Archies.

I still like this tune, very catchy, melodic, and great vocals.
Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks

I always loved that cool guitar with reverb. Just shows you don't have to play a lot to be effective.
Dizzy by Tommy Roe

Another great melody, and I liked the drums too.
I liked lots of songs by the Herman's Hermits like

I could go on and on, I love all sorts of music, I don't care what others think about it. :wink:
If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis
I think Prince is a great performer & guitarist, Micheal Jackson is a musical genious, and yes, I even like Culture Club! :oops: :wink:

"The only way I know that guarantees no mistakes is not to play and that's simply not an option". David Hodge
I'm with Wes on this one. There's no music I like that I'm embarrassed or ashamed by. If I like it, then it's good music. There are musicians I like that don't necessarily fit in with most of the stuff I like (Amy Winehouse, for instance, or the Jackson Five and early MJ, even a few Carpenters tunes), but I'm not embarrassed by it.
