Michelle T Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So, what guilty little secrets do you all harbor when it comes to music? The groups or songs you really like, but would never admit to? I'm going on record here to say I like the group Bread from the early 70's, and in fact just bought their song "Everything I Own" from iTunes. Ahhhhh, the wimpy, easy-listening joy of it! I also like Seals & Crofts. So, how about you guys? What is in your iPod that you would be embarrassed to be caught singing along with?

Julie in CA Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Kind of the opposite, in fact. I really like Meatloaf. -Would not be acceptable in my conservative crowd. I also like the song "loverboy" by Queen/Freddy Mercury. Uh...the lyrics are really unacceptable for a gal like me to sing along to if you think about the real meaning. :blushing: I was also listening to Abba *before* it recently became cool. But no, I don't go so much for the wimpy tunes except maybe James Blunt, who makes my kids roll their eyes. :001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I love Abba. And I didn't know it was cool. :) I also still love all the horrible ballads from Chicago. Takes me right back to the 6th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am a typical, conservative, middle-aged housewife and mother. And I love Green Day, especially the older stuff! I can get so much house work done to that, but I have to be very cautious about singing the lyrics above a whisper. As far as sappy, it horrifies dh that I can belt out disco tunes with the best of them. Not my favorite kind of music, but I know all the songs.

Just a Jen in Mississippi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I too am a fairly conservative person, but my mp3 player is full of songs from Prince, George Michael, Poison, Guns N Roses, Whitesnake, Bob Seger, Motley Crue, Nickelback, Sarah McLachlan, Matchbox Twenty, Elton John, Norah Jones, Van Halen, ACDC, etc. It soooo motivates me in my workout routine and makes me feel young because most of the songs on my playlist are from my teenage years! It also gives me the warm fuzzes towards my husband because he introduced me to most of these songs way back then! I'd be a little embarrassed if some of my acquaintances got a hold of my player!

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I still love all the 80's music. Rick Springfield. My kids know all the words to Jessie's Girl, so I guess that's no secret.

ladydusk Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I was little when it was popular, but I have a soft spot in my heart for "You Light Up My Life" ... my mom and I loved that song, overplayed and cheesy though it is. I heard it last night at the grocery store and was singing along under my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritAnnia Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm never embarrassed to admit music I like, and I like most types. Recently I've been listening to a few opera compilation cd's but today I wanted something different so it was time for a few oldies. Andy Gibb, Roberta Flack, and Simon & Garfunkel. Ahh.. memories! I hum and sing along to music in stores and even elevators if I like the tune! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elise1mds Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Another Simon & Garfunkel lover here... my husband's jaw actually dropped when he heard Paul Simon (solo) on my iPod. I'm 80% hard rock, 15% country, and 5% anything else that grabs my fancy - like Ace of Base, for instance. Or I might have "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles... things of that nature. I'm embarrassed now and may go hide under a rock. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't consider what I like to listen to to be wimpy. Obviously Jimmy is my very favorite, but I do like a lot of different kinds of music. Some of the things others have listed as wimpy, I don't find wimpy. But some of the other things people have listed I would almost consider torture to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Diamond there! i never liked him at all before, but dh loves him:tongue_smilie: and got my ds singing his songs as a toddler. How could I not change my mind? I guess I have a love/hate relationship with ND now.

Jenny in Atl Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 None of these would I be embarrassed to admit liking.. I love music so much I never apologize for liking something. Burt Backarack, and all who sang his songs, especially Dionne Warwick (her old covers/60's.. not the 80's stuff :tongue_smilie:) Steve Miller Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young Roy Orbison Beach Boys Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder (though some of his stuff is not really easy listening) Sarah Vaughn Dave Burbeck Ella Fitzgerald Boz Scaggs Steely Dan Carly Simon & Sweet Baby James Taylor ELO And many more... but it's early yet and my tired old brain can't see to think of more to list.
