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 wouldnt say im ashamed but most of my friends cant understand my liking towards Neal Morses records. YES, its christian proggressive rock but who the fuck cares if the music rocks? I would deffinetly recommend those records to anyone who's into Genesis, Pink Floyd and the likes. Tbh i even agree with most of he's writings since they aint so over the top "preaching".

Neal Morse is a musical genius. His work with spock's Beard as well as his solo work are amazing. Enough said.

What is there to be ashamed about liking Iron Maiden?

Well, for example, when I hang out with my uncle, he always teases me for listening to Iron Maiden. He finds Maiden not to be a real metal band, but some kind of pop-glam-rock commercialized bullshit. But i love my i uncle. He bought me a distortion pedal this summer. Yaaaay

Well, it's not only my uncle, it's also my parents, and their friends.
Am I proud that I'm listening Maiden? Well in my town, you can see a shitload of stupid kids wearing Maiden T-shirts, but they can't tell which genre Maiden belongs to, or they can't name more than three Maiden songs. I would say that I am more proud of being able to play quite a few of Iron Maiden's songs on guitar.
I remember that Maiden played in Ljubljana a year ago. Mass hysteria, dude.

Can't say any specific band, but there are some swedish and norwegian singer/songwriters that I really like, but am kinda ashamed for liking. The worst one being norways own Espen Lind. I think it's the lyrics, they seem to always fit for what I feel. It's so strange. And also the swedish artist Patrik Isaksson is among them. It's the same here, the lyrics fits with my feelings a lot of the time. And that I like one Britney Spears song drives me fucking mad! The song "Everytime" is the only song Britney's done that's good. Man, I feel ashamed of that.

Me too, but I love only their song All About Us, which is coverly record by Sonic Syndicate as metal, and IMO the metal version is better than the original one

While not ashamed per se, I hate when people look through my ipod and see Fairyland, they think it's hysterical. I listen to a lot of New Wave that I'm not too proud of, but it's what I grew up listening to along with New Age stuff that you hear on Pure Moods. Maybe Duran Duran is a little embarrassing...

I'm not ashamed of any kind of music that I like
But sometimes... It doesn't feel so good when your mom listen to your music in your room and say "What a noise" or something...

Maybe that's the reason why I keep my music for my own...

Sometimes I'm ashamed to like newer Metallica. (I actually DID like St. Anger.)

That's so brave.... that you have to be a Metalhead to say it... you're still necro
emmm another thing that I like errrrrr
A bit of Björk, but I don't have music of ther in my computer... but I really like her videos.
aaa and the first albums of Korn.
And I prefer the last albums of anathema over the first ones... I don't like their doom/death.
