Music you secretly like

[MegaBlue05]

I’m a metal and rap guy by choosing, so aggressive and br000000tal is the name of my musical game.

I, however, secretly enjoy:
Abba
Michael Jackson
A handful of George Michael songs
Interesting mashups that blend genres that are polar opposites:

 

[BC_Wader]

Coldplay
Alanis Morissette- her Jagged Little Pill is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is fire. I still listen to it to this day.

 

[justa]

Huge Mazzy Star fan. Hope Sandoval's voice just soothes me. Even named the pooch Mazzy.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

Went down a rabbit hole of Pablo Cruise, live. Guys were pretty tight and funky.

Love for the Osmonds, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.

Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Donna Summer.

 

[JDHoss]

Had never heard of them until I watched Dopesick and She's My Baby was part of the soundtrack. She has a great voice.

 

[BC_Wader]

Mary Chapin Carpenter.

She was one of my favorite country artists from the 90s. I Take My Chances is a great song.

 

[JLoad22]

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Ennio Morricone, especially the soundtrack to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Why would you keep that secret? Hell the first few minutes of ‘the hateful eight’ may have been the best part just because of the score

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Taylor Swift
Enya
Florence and the Machine

I’ll be seeing Taylor Swift for the 5th time in July. No shame at all. Everyone I know knows it.

Enya? Been listening to pure moods?

Florence and the machine may have been the overall best concert experience ever. It was at a festival in downtown Cincinnati. Elle King and Of Monsters and Men opened. I stayed at the embassy suites across the river in Covington. Grabbed my free drinks and walked across the bridge. Craft beers were $5 a pop for FULL beers. I drank the exact perfect amount that night. I wish I’d written it all down

 

[CB3UK]

Plenty of 80s pop songs that I had to listen to in the car as a child.

I've got the movie poster hanging on the wall right here next to me as I type this. My phone ring tone is TGTBATU theme song. No shame in that game

 

[DreadLox]

I hated this stuff growing up.

Well, I actually don't keep it a secret. I have no secrets when it comes to music. It's just some music that most people who know me wouldn't expect me to have.

 

[jameslee32]

Alligator lizards in the air.

 

[Tskware]

She was one of my favorite country artists from the 90s. I Take My Chances is a great song.

Saw her at Amp at Dant last summer, she is really good. "Come On, Come On" is one of her best songs

 

[numberonedad]

Went down a rabbit hole of Pablo Cruise, live. Guys were pretty tight and funky.

Love for the Osmonds, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.

Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Donna Summer.

When we lived in Naples, Donna was our neighbor. Such a lovely, kind lady

Lol...I could listen to Sail Away all day.

We tried to get our daughters TS tixs in Chicago but got screwed by the Ticketmaster debacle. I was using them as an excuse to see TS.

I also forgot to include Matt and Kim. Saw them twice and one of the best concerts, especially for a two person band. I am not embarrassed to say I like them, just most people have never heard of them.

 

[Tskware]

Florence and the Machine are great, no reason to be embarrassed to like that group.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Early to mid-80s synth rock has grown on me after 40 years. Simple Minds, Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, INXS, et al.

 

[Catman100]

Depending on my mood on the golf course or at my fire pit, I very well may pull up an Amazon music playlist that has Glenn Miller, Johnny Mathis, and Frank Sinatra on it.

 

[cat_in_the_hat]

That's an incredible joke if you understand it.

It is a funny joke. But just for the record, Momma Cass didn't choke to death while eating a ham sandwich. She died of a heart attack.

 

[Mossip]

This thread is full of all-time great bands and pop artists, lol.

 

[Glenn's Take]

Urban legend says otherwise. Anyway, why let the truth get in the way of a good joke.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

This thread is full of all-time great bands and pop artists, lol.

I’ll admit it. I like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

*ducks*

 

[vhcat70]

The Nessun Dorma by a lot of folks.

 

[vhcat70]

My mom played Neil all the time in her car as a kid. This song is about how Wild Irish Rose is the only "girl" that some guys can get for their weekend fun. He wrote it about a mining town in Canada where there weren't enough women compared to the number of men.

He's the best for old me. I Am I Said is #1. Up there with Sinatra's My Way.

 

[JLoad22]

 

[ukalum1988]

Hey I'll admit it. Karen Carpenter had a sultry voice.

I’m a fellow secret member of The Carpenters fan club….. Love Karen’s voice…..

 

[ukalum1988]

I have way too many guilty pleasures. The Carpenters, John Denver, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, Barry Manilow. Oh yes, I just saw Xanadu. That too.

Xanadu has a number of nice pop songs sprinkled throughout, but man what an atrocious movie….

 

[christophero]

Xanadu has a number of nice pop songs sprinkled throughout, but man what an atrocious movie….

Definitely. But Magic by Olivia Newton John is a gem.

 

[Anon1660081258]

Chicago. There. Admitted. Reminds me of AM radio when I was a kid.

 

[K86]

Olivia Newton-John

 

[rudd1]

Xanadu has a number of nice pop songs sprinkled throughout, but man what an atrocious movie….

-of course, Jeff Lynne (ELO) wrote half of the songs.

 

[warrior-cat]

Elton John, especially his old ballads.

 

[CB3UK]

Neil Diamond is another one

 

[JDHoss]

Elton John, especially his old ballads.

We've seen him a couple of times. Just him and his piano. Great shows.

 

[JDHoss]

Chicago. There. Admitted. Reminds me of AM radio when I was a kid.

Love Terry Kath era Chicago.

 

[justa]

Saw Sarah McLachlan few yrs ago at TN Theater. Just her and a piano.

Very relaxed and chill concert.

 

[jameslee32]

Love Terry Kath era Chicago.

The first song on a first album speaks a lot about that band. Chicago Transit Authority and Led Zeppelin come to mind. Both released in 1969.

 

[vhcat70]

Neil Diamond is another one

Nah. He's the one.
