I know, but other people don't understand that.
Also, I still like some Robbie Williams.

Amy Winehead and Lily Alien(ating) are on the papers every day, almost. I agree with Pookie that being a foul-mouthed, stroppy cow is an easy recipe for success in the media, and one that is so disturbingly encouraged like it's something new, exciting or dangerous. I like some of Lily Allen's songs, the same I can't say for Amy Twathouse whose voice gets right on my tits, especially when it even becomes the subject of documentaries about pop music made by people who still sit at the piano explaining to other people how ''HeyfuckingJude'' was written.

Sorry, Lily, the thread doesn't make sense to me. I openly like everything I listen to. There might be some things other people would disparage, but how could I possibly keep track of that and why would I want to?

I guess there's a lot I like that's a secret to people--that is, not everybody knows what's in my record collection or what I listen to everyday.

None. I don't have guilty pleasures, I don't have "secret music I like", etc. And we've had about 50 threads like this, so... yeah.
Why be ashamed of anything you listen to? Here's something I think people often overlook on here (see the recent KoRn thread for examples of ignorance): EVERY BAND EVER has SOMETHING good about it. Even bands I hate more than God (Mars volta for example), I can tell you ten good things about them (well, in Mars Volta's case, maybe only three or four good things -- but I can think of SOMETHING). I think if you can't do that, if you can't step out of your box of prejudice, if you are "ashamed" to like a band because of what other people might think of them or you, perhaps you should reevaluate why you bother listening to music to begin wit h. |

Being ashamed of music reminds me of when I used to have to sneak albums I'd buy into my bedroom without my parents seeing them--so as not to offend their delicate sensibilities. They were deeply offended by the cover of Sticky Fingers, for example.
Also, Lane, on Gilmore Girls, used to keep her CD collectin stashed under the floor boards of her bedroom because her mother would disapprove.

I do.
I mean, it is, isn't it? And why shouldn't it be, after all?

Mmmm, don't know if I can hack Ben Folds Five ha.
I listened to Olivia Newton-John's new live album last night, Olivia's Live Hits. It was recorded at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Orchestra and Travolta also guests. Some oldies doing some oldies heeha. Olivia's voice is still absolutely amazing after all these years. "Smile" usually makes me smile. Hey, read this about Lily Allen. It's an article about her "influences" heehe. http://www.musiclikedirt.com/2006/09...alright-steal/ On “Smile” the wonderful summer ska sound and keyboards are taken from “Free Soul“, a 1969 track by The Soul Brothers. |

like the other day i was watching degrassi the next generation and someone almost walked in when i was watching it and i had to change the channel...
secretly...secretly...hmmm...let me think, you lot probably know everything i listen to. sometimes i'm a very bit ashamed to admit i don't like certain things, like, for example, saying i don't like wolf eyes and having people kinda in convulted words asking me "but don't you have a noise band? it's wolf eyes, not coldplay". it makes me look snobby but i get over it quickly. and lily allen, i loved her album to bits when it first came out, it hasn't really stayed well with me mostly, some ace songs still there though. "smile" and (more so) "ldn" chief among them. |
