We all have songs we like that we turn down at the red-light so the cars next to us can't hear them. Fess up!

I Can Dream About You - Dan Hartman
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Copacabana - Barry Manilow
Wild Wild West - Will Smith
Night Fever - BeeGees

I will think of some more...

Hall & Oates
The Bee Gees
The Sundays (Harriet Wheeler truly has the voice of an angel)

Alot of 80's music because that's what I was brought up on when I was too young to know (or care) what "cool" was.

And alot of Disco because as a guitar player, I love music that features a great funky bass riff.


good thread TB. I'll think of some more.

Duran Duran the early stuff.

The songs from willy wonka - one of the very few, if not the only, musical I like.

Some of the old blues legends (Muddy Water, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson)

Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline.

Now many like those artists but many who know me still find it odd I listen to those singers.

I will think of some more...Oh man, this is a weird topic. I have no idea why I like any of these songs but I do.

"One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head.
"Turning Japanese" by The Vapors.
"Space Lord" by Monster Magnet.
"Epic" by Faith No More.
"She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby.
"Life Is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane.

Without a doubt, the worst of all though is entirely because of this video clip. It just cracks me up.

Funny how silly things like that just make you roll.

A few friends of mine would do similar things but using that men without hats song Saftey Dance.

If someone would say we could not do something, or don't do that.

We would look at them and say...We can dance if we want to and then proceed to do that stupid dance.

Always made me laugh.

I agree on the Carpenters. I always thought Karen Carpenter's voice was like a warm blanket on a cold day.

The "Blinded Me with Science" posts are hilarious. That song definitely makes the list.

Some of those 80s songs with the heavy synthesizer -- such as "Puttin' on the Ritz" and "Cars" qualify.

I've already outed myself on Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in a previous thread, but they probably belong in this category, too. My kids love those old songs.

Interesting story about Frankie Valli... I used to work in Vegas alot...

Some of the guys I worked with asked the union guys (who work all of those show venues) who was the guy that "had" the most women...

They all said, without hesitation... "Frankie Valli"... who woulda figured that one...

They said he would point out one before a show and tell one of the union guys to go get her... then between sets... same thing... then after the show at least one other... :laugh2:

Brings new meaning to "Oh what a night"...

Good stuff.

I just read a biography on Sam Cooke ... the original "Lady's Man."

That guy was unreal. Just for the sport of it, he would find the ugliest, raunchiest women possible to hook up with. He got bored with the pretty ones.

It ended up costing him his life.

All of these are good, ... I used to think, "I just love all music!"

Oldies, big band, classical, swing, rock, country, gospel, soul, 80's, heavy metal, ... and then along came rap.

I found out I don't like all music. :cool:

Any of the hair bands. Poison, Ratt, Whitesnake, Warrant, and stuff like Guns N Roses and AC/DC come awfully close too.

My greatest fear in life is becoming the guy with the beer belly who is just a little too old to be clubbing, who gets drunk and starts screaming, "We paved the way dude!" while waving his fingers in the air as his old school rock bands play.

S & T you're list is pretty cool. I'd pop those in the CD anytime.

I'm one of those who like all kinds of music, however I do have cringe a lil bit when people hear me play these:

Backstreet Boys
New Kids on the Block
George Michael
Boy George
Lit - first CD
Full Force feat Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam - All Cried Out
Deniece Williams - Let's hear it for the Boy
Eddie Murphy - Party all the Time
Kenny Loggins - Footloose


There's a bunch of songs that I like that people think I'm weird. I don't care. That's why God created headphones... :)

Where exactly is the guilty pleasure in listening to Prince? Any guilt you feel should be due to your choice of football team. Prince is a legend.

Ah! One more guilty pleasure song: I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys. Saw it on MuchMusic today. Guess it reminds me of romantic times. Pretty catchy tune...

Guess my list isnt as strange as I thought.

My taste in music is so broad that it really takes most people by surprise.

Everything from Scott Joplin to Ozzy, Billie Holiday to Mary J. Blidge, Frank Sinatra to the Beastie Boys, Bach to Tupac.

Ohh I think I got one. That Britney Spears song where in the video its like mission impossible. Damn cant remember the name. Toxic (had to ask the future Mrs.)
