Rosemarie Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What group or artist do you listen to that would make your friends and family cock their heads to the side and think "What????" Mine are (considering I mostly listen to Korn, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Def Leppard, Five Finger Death Punch): Abba (only certain songs, though!) Deee-lite (Groove Is In The Heart) Wham! The Bee Gees I am sure I have a few others, but I would have to look through my iPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Sorry, Rosemarie...I have No "guilty pleasures"...I don't give a damn, what other people think, about who I choose to listen to, for whatever reason. I like a wide variety of musical genres. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a wide variety of musical genres. CB No problem, CB! Just thought I'd try to get the board jumping *a little* since it's been kinda slow. I personally don't care what people think of what I listen to either. Just had the conversation with friends the other day and they had said that they never would have pegged me as listening to the stuff I listed considering what my staple playlist usually is. Thought it might be interesting to see what others had to say. Twang, I dig some Wichita Lineman from time to time, too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATED this group when they were popular. One day a coworker was playing this song and I asked who it was and was surprised to find out it was Duran Duran.

charlie brown Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Well, ok...I've always loved this song, Bobbie/Bobby Gentry's voice, the story, along with the a great memory, of driving home from Colorado, in my (late) 68 Opel GT, with windows rolled down, the radio blasting this song (among many others), on a hot summer night, thinking at the time that "it (life) doesn't get much better than this!" Of course, it did get "better," and worse, too. "C'est La Vie!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third row of Philly Spectrum first night, 9th row second night. Excepting the band and their crewI was the only male in the building! They were, in a word, bada$$. Professionals, well trained, excellent sound, Simon sang all night, and John killed it all night long. Great band! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Nugent was one of my top 3 favs ( I was 19 ). If it didn't have a screaming guitar solo I didn't want to listen to it. Now Im discovering some great music.

darling67 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Like Charlie Brown already stated, I have a "who cares?" attitude these days. If I like it, I like it proudly. However, there was a time when I was "concerned" with what others would think if I made it known that I was listening to and liked certain music, bands, etc.... The Police. I remember seeing the video for "De Do Do Do...." and thinking I'd never seen or heard such cool music. Up 'til then, it was all 60's British Invasion rock and 70's Hard Rock for me. I was afraid my brother was going to make fun of me when I bought "Zenyata Mundata", but much to my relief, he was actually interested and supportive of this major shift! LOL! Other than that, I simply don't like crappy music... and thus, I feel no guilt over any of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 When I was a schoolboy, ABBA was one of my guilty pleasures - among boys one was said to be gay if listening to them. Same for Supertramp. They always were one of my favorites despite of being said to be a band for girls only by my male classmates I'm still listening to ABBA and Supertramp, by the way... Some of my actual friends can't understand me liking Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera. Some of them also didn't and still don't like The Lightning Seeds who were a very great band to my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 more "not so guilty, but not so rockin'" pleasures... Charlie Daniels Band: Legend of Wooly Swamp David Allen Coe: The Ride Johnny Cash: Hurt Willie Nelson: too many to list Johnny Paycheck: Outlaws Prayer Toby Keith: Courtesy of the Red White and Blue (The Angry American) Miranda Lambert: White Liar Kelly Clarkson?: Two Black Cadillacs Alabama: Christmas in Dixie....though it makes me cry every time, reminds me of when my Son was alive, and for just a moment gives me a break from the awful depression I have every Christmas. i'm out of the "Country Closet" now !

fretplay Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I watched a program on John Denver on BBC4 Friday night. Denver was a bit of a joke as being uncool and music your mum liked. I had forgotten how good the songs were, his voice is fantastic,clear and precise, and his mastery of the 12 string guitar,fantastic. I was still singing the songs on Saturday. Good job Mums not listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 All the folks who know me well know I'll listen to anything and anyone regardless of 'pigeonhole'. Good Music is Good Music. That said; about 25 years ago one very close mate was surprised to discover I really like the songs of Bacharach and David. There's even some Rap I've heard which is good. Honest! That was the only genre which had never appealed to me previously but some fellow forumites posted several youtube links which opened-up my mind. I didn't go straight out and buy the CDs but no longer will I say 'All Rap is Crap!'. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Some folks don't care much for this lady's singing or arrangements - but note that at one point Bobby Zimmerman played harmonica for her. Sad, sad life as with many of the green-witch villagers of the late folkie era. Her version of "how sweet it is" is marvelous too, but this one gives an idea. When it runs in the office I get funny looks as if I were old. <chortle> Of course, they also know they're likely to hear anything from rock to swing, Mozart to early folkie, country to jazz...
