So yeah, I'm sure this happens to a lot of people. There is some band that you shouldn't like. There is something wrong with it. You might even think that it's bad . . . But you love it! You nod along to the music and can't help but sing along if you know the lyrics. You love it, and you hate the fact that you love it. So yeah, does this happen to anyone else, and if so, with what bands?

For me, the most obvious one is Rhapsody. They are really really cheesy, and all of their songs sound more or less the same to me. I feel it is all charged with vacuous optimism, and the lyrics are terrible. But yes, I like them. Please don't tell anyone.

Also, I like Bal Sagoth. They are pretty much the cheesiest band on earth, and it is precisely the cheesiness that makes me love them so. The "dark" vocals are anything but creepy and all of the "symphonics" sound fake. It's so bad that it's good!

There are some Emperor songs that I like. I have moral issues with liking Emperor. The black metal act is sometimes interesting, and often funny as hell. I approve of it . . . but only so long as it is an act. Church burning is not cool. Neither is killing people.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I dig a few Panic! At the Disco songs. They're annoying and whiny, but they're still fun and really catchy.


hmmm that is shameful lol. i think you will be able to slide on this 1 as long as you also don't listen to fallout boy : P

You really shouldn't be ashamed if you like a certain band...if you like a band, you should just listen to it publicly with your friends and if they say anything, just tell them to fuck off and except it because I'm sure that your friends would be living contradictions to their accusations...I know I used to accuse a lot of people in the past for listening to certain things (especially emo) but just because we're metal doesn't mean that we can sit there and accuse everyone else who religiously listens and praises music that isn't metal...even those within our realm that listen to certain bands that are of a poppish element that sit outside the border of metal that we enjoy...I'm sick and tired of people thinking that I think that I'm so much better than them...

I actually enjoy Megadeths 'Risk' alot, it seems thats an album that everyone is supposed to hate but I cant quite figure out why.



FINALLY I see someone who likes Megadeth's Risk! I'm very fond of this album as well. Never been ashamed of it; or of listening and enjoying any singer/musician/band/album everyone else disapproves or hates:thumbup:.

I'm starting to become really ashamed ov Children Of Bodom! They are such douchebags [especially Alexi Laiho!] and their new material IS NOT GOOD MUSIC, IT IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!! plus so many chumps and meatheads love it . But their "Follow The Reaper" album is like one ov the alltime best albums I've ever heard, making them one ov my top favourite bands some ov their other early material is great too......But just the fact that I am a fan ov this band, makes me hang my head in shame! I really really wish that "Follow The Reaper" wasn't so dreadfully good! Cuz I hate these guys alot lol.

Yeah I feel the same way a bit, I dont hate the band, but I hate Bodom fans, seriously, im not sure if its just over here in north america, but the majority of Bodoms fan base has become 13 year old laiho-worshippin' emo kids, and I really dont want to be associated with them.

Well these days Metallica is a dirty word especially on Metal forums but Im not ashamed for saying that their my favourite band

I agree that St.Anger was a real shit but early Metallica's stuff was great and i don't see why should you be ashamed of listening Metallica.

apparently Im supposed to be ashamed of liking DevilDriver just because they have former members from Coal Chamber (who I admit were pretty bad). I guess I used to have this closed minded opinion about DevilDriver until I saw them live, that brings a new appreciation for them.

I like the theme song to The Raccoons (anyone remember that cartoon?) "Run With Us" by Lisa Lougheed. So many Saturday morning memories... ahaha

Select System of a down songs (Holy Mountains, Sugar, Forest, A.D.D, Highway Song)

And whatever people say about them I like Dragonforce, Valley and Sonic Firestorm mainly...

... That's about it really, talk about guilty pleasures. I think the first one wins though...

I never found anything wrong with Dragonforce, I mean, they do get annoying after a while but I own all there albums and listen to them frequently. I just heard they sucked live.

Believe me, Devildriver on CD doesnt even compare to them live.

I like Malice Mizer, a Gothic ROCK band from japan, some anime music and some regional folk music, I'm not ashamed for that but I didn't find another thread to post this, because if you find what Malice Mizer is, you were going to punch me....

Umm...Im not too ashamed, but I really like Yargus Delarus. My dad would play this music 24/7 and it just sorta embedded in my mind and now I like Yargus, especially the live album done with the Jerusalem philharmonic orchestra, thats a majestic album...

I'm not ashamed at all of what I'm listening to. I listen to what I want and what I like. I have no reason to be ashamed of it and neither should you all... Why should someone be ashamed of something he likes (being gay and liking men is exception)? I may listen to metal and I also may listen to Shakira and I'm not ashamed to say that when being in a company of metalheads. If you have self esteem, you support your ideas and choices; you don't have to listen and believe what the other "true" and "genius" guys listen to...

The Cure are fun.

Im proud of everything that I listen to, of course. But some odd bands that I like include TV on the Radio, Red Hot Chilli Peppers (not old works), Bright Eyes, Cranberries... SlipknoT. Maybe not globaly loved, but I love their energy and all.

Oh plz.
Firstly,this isn't a forum where narrow minded idiots reside.
Don't be narrow minded yourself.
That sentence just sounded so stupid " because if you find what Malice Mizer is, you were going to punch me...."
Seriously,stop saying stupid things like that.
You're not a child.
Most of these people know who Malice Mizer are anyway.
And in the end....no one should be ashamed of liking JRock bands.

Well, I expected to recieve such a reply.
You cannot say that i'm narrow minded just by reading a single post, even if you read all my few posts.
O.K. that just sounded stupid, but I'm surrounded by people that REALLY hate those bands, so I wrongly thought that more people would hate them.
I didn't say that I'm ashamed "I'm not ashamed for that but I didn't find another thread..."

@selkenshin - Oh God...I didn't say you were narrow minded.I expressed hope you wouldn't act that way.
I'm sure you are surrounded by such people and i understand that completely,but you can surely also understand why such a sentence would ring badly in someone's ears.
It sounded like something someone with very childish behavior would say.I'm sure you know that.
But in all respect...no..i'm not saying that YOU are like that.
My whole opinion was focused and revolved around that one sentence,nothing i said is to be confused with you in whole..cause..obviously..i don't know you.
And yes,i know..you wrote the sentence without much thought,not really meaning anything by it,but i hated the way it sounded.
THAT'S about it.

The Cure is definitly not my type of music, but I fail to see whats so shameful about listening to them, most classic rock bands dont carry any shame with them.

Trust me, it's not only in north america, i was at their play 2 years ago and I trully think I was the oldest one there..and I was 17..horrible, I don't know if these boys are turn on by Alexi or something, but as soon as they saw a girl coming close, they were all over her..heloooo, your're a kid, kids are not supposed to be trying put tongue into somebodys throat!! And the same thing is happening with Trivium or even Lamb of God, the fan base is about 10. Crazy.
