I used to get grief from Green Day fans for liking Prefab Sprout.
Who's laughing now eh?

BTW why is Auf der Maur embarrassing? far as I can see she's fairly credible. Unless, wait, was she in Zwan?
She used to be the bassist in Smashing Pumpkins.
I've read critics shooting her first solo album because of "crude lyrics". Any artist making a song about giving head is A-OK for me. Just saying.
Also: I love Madonna's latests albums (Confessions & Hard Candy), what does that make me?
And: <3 Garth Brooks

Oh and I forgot to add, the Bee Gees as well.

I was recently shocked to discover that the BeeGees were the first artist almost signed to Apple records back when the Beatles were coming apart. Weird.

No One Lives Forever bonus music disc (why god, WHY?)
why because it's an awesome mix, of course. Go Becky Kneubuhl!

Sometimes, I feel awkward for listening to Rick Astley's "Never Give You Up".
And then I remember even my family makes fun of me for that.

As a kid, it was all about (

I've got tons of 80's pop and a lot of 70's rock. We also have 90s pop, classical, jazz, some opera, Gregorian chant, big band, lots of country (old & new), bluegrass and other stuff. We've got quite a varied collection. But, my favorites are still the dance pop tunes. Reminds me of good times when I used to go dancing 6 nights a week.

On a related note, my wife insists on driving separately these days.
Only cuse she listens to her own stuff, which she is too embarrassed to share with you, huh? What do you wanna bet! Catch her in the car sometime.....uhuh.
At least you have the balls, which you do, to share.

Actually the only place I feel out of place music wise is here. Come the end of year music thread mostly. Deerhoof and The Battles? Ambient music has never followed the rules completely but it has come to resemble a couple of cats fighting in a kitchen cabinet full of pots and pans. That's not fair. Truthfully it relies heavily on drum machine rhythm. Much of the time with no harmony or harmonics stretched to the point of losing the point.
At any rate I feel as if music has taken a hard left and thrown me sometimes. I'm just not into falsetto whispering. It's not just that I only like feel good music either. What I'm hearing has to move me in some way. Any way. At a certain point random approaches white noise. I'm not embarressed by anything be it Steve Earl or Dido but I have to be moved by it. Lately not so much. It either sounds too much the same or so different it doesn't move me. It's almost as if the perpetrators have never played a real musical instrument or that they have never felt a real emotion.
As usual I've tried to condense too much and jumbled things. Perhaps you get the gist. I'm always looking. I even go back and check older stuff to see what I missed but like with Poe and "Hey Pretty" it often turns out there is nothing else I like on the CD.
Off tangent there is a communal concrete storm shelter here that has such an excellent reverb that a certain tone of gregorian hum sets off a sustained vibration you feel in your bones. It tickles.
