    Nuthin' wrong with Blondie.

      Cyndi Lauper totally rocks, Dis. And Supertramp was great - before they became an arena band.

      Generally speaking, I'm proud of my taste in music. Most of my guilty pleasures involve overcooked arena rock, cheesy pop songs with great production, or artists I worked with professionally. Stuff like:

      Boston - 1st album (amazing production; the worst of arena rock)
      The Cars - 1st album (the whole thing loops together @ 120 beats/min -- audacious)
      Wang Chung - Everybody Wang Chung Tonight
      Grand Funk - We're An American Band
      Various Hair Bands - (Can you say Warrant?)

      I'm sure there are plenty more in my deep and hidden past. Damn, now I've got Wang Chung recycling endlessly in my brain...
      Thanks for reminding me...

        Hmm, I guess I have to fess up about liking some of the Grease songs. I should be forgiven though, as the damned thing came out when I was about 8 or 9.

        dis, why are you ashamed of liking the scorpions?? they totally rock!


        Yeah, I'm sure it is....when you're a 14 old girl.

          And she's dancing maniac on the floor
          And she's dancing like she's never danced before

            I see no reason to be ashamed of liking Mötley Crüe or the Scorpions.

            Maybe feeling ashamed about music has to do with being younger, facing peer pressure and ridicule. I'm older now, I like what I like, and if you don't, fine.

            I even like some Ratt, Warrant and Poison.

            Now the Cars, Journey and Styx don't fit in with heavier stuff, but I like them. I like Pat Benetar, though I never actually bought anything. But I wouldn't change the channel/radio station because she was on.

            Boston's debut album was great.

                Britney Spears - Toxic & Everytime
                I really like these songs.
                Anything I'd ever like of Pet Shop Boys makes me feel guilty
                Two Hearts by Phil Collins - it's a shameless pop, but I like it.
                Yeah, some Scorpions' songs are cheeesy yet so touching.
                Bangles - well, perhaps I am a bit ashamed
                Some solo Genesis work is not something I'd like my friends to hear, yet I like it.

                        I actually like Burl Ives.

                        Don't know if that counts for a band.

                          He's big enough to constitute an entire band by himself...and you certainly should be ashamed for liking his music....but I thought you were deaf. Was I misinformed??

                            OK first of all, even though Kriss Kross' Jump is good.

                            Beastie Boys isn't bad.

                            Body Count is OK.

                            Cypress Hill isn't bad.

                            The rest of the stuff mentioned, I'd be ashamed as well.

                                It was big here too, but rather some time ago. And yeah, I liked it too, but then Im hopelessly unhip.
