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.

Oh man, haha. I don't really feel ashamed of them, they're just what I call guilty pleasures. And as of right now Tears for Fears is one of those. >.>

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.


Why is everyone so embarassed ? XDDDDD Funny.

Anyway.I totally dig Panic! at the disco.
Fun music.
And i love their lyrics honestly.

For me it was cool to talk about any band i listn to, but, whenever i talk to someone in my country about PLACEBO, they make me regret it, comments like, 'gay band' and 'female voice' , but i truly appreciate their music so i don't give a damn.

there are two bands (or maybe better their two songs) i like to hear, though i in general don't like the genre, but i cant help :

first is LoveX - one of those finnish "wanna be metal" bands a la Rasmus and Guardian Angel by them

and the second is even worse - it is emo band 30 seconds to Mars...i hate emo style, but somehow i cant stop listening the refrain of their From Yersterday...its really strong and nice to hear for me

It's pretty pointless being embarrassed of listening to anything. I like Scissor Sisters, Nelly Furtado and stuff. I'm not ashamed that I like them, and I don't see any reason why you'd have to be. I've seen Scissor Sisters live, and I bought a t-shirt. They were awesome - people seem to miss the fact that they're actually a band and not a pop group. They are a lot more rocking live than on their CDs - and we're not 10, big deal if they're gay, so what. Freddie Mercury was gay, Elton John is gay... no different from Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters or Kele Okereke of Bloc Party being gay. Big deal!

I'm not really ashamed of anything I listen to. I have broad musical taste, and I think that anyone who thinks that diverse musical taste is negative is a dumb bastard.

For example:

Savage Garden
*NSync
Alanis Morrisette
Imogen Heap
Secret Garden
Benny Benassi
Evanescence
Eve6
Jewel
The Goo Goo Dolls

I listen to almost literally every genre under the sun (obscure subgenres not necessarily counted).

I could go on and on and on....and on....

Yeah. Listen to whatever the hell you like. :p

He's a rapper, but he's so much more than just a rapper...he's not into hip-hop and rap for exploitation for one thing...what I like about him was how he uses elements like orchestras in his performances...
