everyone seems to laugh when I say I like Huey Lewis and the News. To hell with them.

Motley Crue, even though I'm not really into them, I do dig 'em. Not so much the sexist party scene, but some of their songs are pretty rockin'. Lots of people try to shame me over it. This dude I work with always gives me a rough time about liking Soundgarden, but I can't say I'm a bit ashamed of it. All in all though, there's no shame in liking music just because other people don't get it. I bet everyone here's been laughed at or "What the hell?"-ed over Frank Black at some point. Does it stop you?

yeah I like weezer's first two albums. I have their 3rd and 4th too. MAladroit is actually pretty good but they just pissed me off so bad with their lack of originality and bad attitudes that I don't listen to it much. I used to be really into them and still wear a big orange hoody with WEEZER on it. I'm slightly embarrassed about that but I still wear it.

| I am not ashamed of liking Weezer. I've only got the Blue Album (now there is a band that is totally unambiguous with the color of their albums) but I don't know that anyone would find it funny that I liked them. Probably the most embarassing CD I own is "Tears For Fears - Greatest Hits." It's got their only two good songs, "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." I just like it for the nostalgic aspect, as my parents owned "Songs From the Big Chair" when I was really young. |

I don't think Weezer is a band to be ashamed to like, unless you think the Green Album is their best.

I seem to play Dare by the Human League a lot. The album probably suffers from having the monster smash hit 'Don't you want me' on it. The rest of their output is a bit dodgy though.
I also have a large collection of lp's by Rush. Played Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures recently (before my record player ground to a halt). Not sure if Rush are cool these days - but they made some stonking albums. Superb musicians IMHO. Are they Canada's most successful group ever? |

You mean that Human League one is good? I bought it at a garage sale to give to this girl as a joke birthday gift, but I never even bothered giving it a listen. I always knew I'd regret it.
Rush came and played in this here city of mine last fall. I would have gone if it weren't $80 or whatever ridiculous sum it was. Another regret, missing that one - EVERYONE I know that went said it was just beyond amazing. They went some three and a half hours straight, and the range of people who liked it is enough that I'm sure it was great. My guess, though, is that it was a greatest hits type of show, because their last couple records haven't made a big splash even here in Canada. The only song I remember as of late is Test For Echo, the title cut from their '96 record. I remember I quite liked it, but the general public seems to have had their fill of Rush.

I love Zoot Woman, Ladytron, Superheroes, The High Fidelity and Viva La Fete.
Just 80's music, and I deteste most 80's bands, but 80's revival bands are great...stupid
Also, Weezer is nothing to be ashamed of

Weezer is only difficult to admit to because of what they're becoming. I do not see a bright future though I hope I'm wrong. They're well on their way to being completely horrible.

I'd get yourself another copy. The music has dated but Phil Oakey has a fantastic singing voice and the songs themselves are strong.
I saw Rush back in about 1990. Very very good live. Amazing performance from a trio (can't remember if they have additional musicians on stage with them). I think their songwriting has tailed off a bit in the last ten years but that still leaves a large collection of fine records. |

Yeah, that's definitely music for a long drive with the windows up, but some of it is good.
I don't usually drive around town with my windows down bumping any music, but whenever I'm playing certain songs from either Black Letter Days or Show Me Your Tears loud at a redlight or passing through a parking lot,I always feel as though people are going to think I'm blasting country music.

Weezer is not a band you need to be ashamed of liking.
I'm ashamed to admit that i liked the Foo Fighters, although i only liked the first two albums, when they were still good.
I'm also ashamed to admit that i still really like Hole and Courtney Love. My obsession stared when i was 13, but i've never really got over over it. I know that Courtney is a fucked up junkie and bad mother but thats part of the reason i like her. Its sad, i know.
Nirvana is another band that i have mixed feelings towards. I got into them in 1993 when i was 13 and i was completely obsessive, then he killed himself and it just compounded the ludicrus love that i held for the band.
I still think that their music is excellent and i really do owe all of my current musical taste to Kurt Cobain, if he hadn't said he liked the Pixies i would never have heard of them , never discovered The Breeders, Frank, Sonic Youth Meat Puppets etc etc. However i do think that their music and his life has been turned into a complete cliche. I see 12 year olds wearing t- shirts with Kurt as a child or with his suicide note printed on it and it does make me ashamed to like them. |

I like the Foo Fighters and I'm not ashamed.
I like Sisters of Mercy, and I'm slightly embarrassed about that.

I think Nirvana, while great, is amazingly overated.

| Yeah, I agree they were overrated on a professional level. While most people find the Smashing Pumpkins annoying, I thought that for a band that came out around the same time as Nirvana they were alot better musicians than Nirvana. |

Coldpaly is another band not to absolutely be ashemed of, in my opinion.
Parchute was a wonderful albume and the last one is surely nice.
And what about Kiss? I must confess to have loved them in my early youth, and nowadays I think that several songs are no so bad.

Sorry but you are talking bollocks. TBYML is a stunning album. Her vocals on The Dancer are out of this world. |
