Songs or CD's That you are almost ashamed to admit you like!

[Burke Strickland]

But for these, I have an excuse. I do DJ gigs once in a while, so these discs are a must in that scenario.

Hey, Kev -- I own "Pure Disco" and "Pure Disco 2" even though I don't have the excuse of being a DJ -- these discs are "must haves" because they contain a lot of great songs, mostly by the original artists. :>) Now, looking at the play list, that "Pure Disco 3" does look like one only a DJ "must" have... :>)

[Bing Fung]

Ha, too funny guys! :rofl:

John I will resist and stand tall!

Jason, nothing doing, I'm keeping this baby purely for conversational purposes. I mean who actually owns stuff this bad? :lol: I probably owned most of those songs at one time as well by the original artists, but most of them are lost to my cassette collecting days :cry:

I can't say how much of a kick I have gotten by pulling this disk out today... Thanks for the fun guys :T

Maybe I should go through my vinyl collection.. ? I know I have quite a few doosies there ops:

My favorite album that "audiophiles" try to make me ashamed of is Iggy Pop, "Lust for Life" . I find if I put it on my record player or bring it up within a circle of audiophiles I get one of two reactions. There is the confused look that comes from the guys that try to figure out if he was a contemporary of Mozart or Art Pepper. Or, there is the look of horror (sort of like the look I give when I hear Diana Krell's name come up) from the guys who know who he is but, think that the Beatles are real rock and roll and anything that came after is garbage.

[Bing Fung]

Hey, I like Diana..... Krall Bob :throwat:

That said I like Iggy too. One of my favorite songs is "Candy" with Kate Pierson.

[Bam!]

I love it ops: :lol:

I can`t stop listening to it! :rofl:

[John Holmes]

Culture Club?!?!?!?!?! :E :E :E Bam, you've got some seriously eclectic taste going on there.

Thanks Jon :B

David...I know as I picked it up..... I thought of this thread ops: :lol: and when I brought it to the counter...the look of shame on my face was priceless! :lol:

I'm a 70's and 80's rocker at heart, although I've really come to like a lot of the rebel country music. I hate to admit that I really love listening at home to Saturday Night Fever and the Bee Gees. Don't tell anybody!

Like the Budweiser representative confided to a billion people during the Super Bowl: "I won't tell anyone if you won't". Your "secret" is safe with us. :>)

Actually, the Bee Gees did a great job on the sound track of "Saturday Night Fever". Nothing to be ashamed of there, unless you dress up in disco duds while listening and strut around like John Travolta did on the dance floor in the movie. That would be a good reason to keep the shades pulled down. :>)

[Alloroc]

Well, my deepest musical secret is here..... I love this CD.... Not because I'm a trekkie, I just love his 'interpretation' if you could call it that, of some really great American songs and ballads. Love of the common people, Martin, Abraham and John and I really like Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town.... I could give the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins a miss, mind you....

It's 'Highly Illogical' by Leonard Nimoy......

Not one of my friends likes Joni. I think she's a great songwriter/singer.

[tec333]

nice topic...surprised at some of the replies.

anyway, mine is a CD I am ashamed of even having

Michael Jackson Hits

shhhhh...

[Alaric]

Dug this out of the basement

Kevin, thats a gooder! :T :T I bought it for my daughter :W

John, I remember in a few threads long time ago, I thought you and I had a lot of simular musical tastes :T :T It dosen't surprise me you listened to mostley what I listened to as well 8) 8)

DOH, Flip.... :W Just a sec, graphic to come....

OK, here is one I just scanned form my collection seeing as I could not find an image of it... Don't know why for it's so popular.. :roll: (Oh I did find it, but it was too small an image)



Killer Disco Classic :T

1. Ladies Night
2. Freak
3. Soul Man
4. Disco Inferno
5. Boogie Wonderland
6. Get up and Boogie
7. Let's Get It On
8. Mac Arthur Park
9. Let's All Chant
10. Everlasting Love
11. Love Is in the Air
12. Dance Dance Dance
13. Hot Stuff
14. Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough
15. Play That Funky Music


It's a remix /remaster that isn't even done by the original artists, but for some reason it seems fitting as it only adds to the Cheezey irony of this... It's charm is it reminds me of when your eating in a Chinese or other Asian restarant and they have popular disco music playing in the backgroud with a Asian slant. :W :roflmao:

When I first bought this album I was disapointed that it wasn't even the original Artists, but lsitening to it now, it has a fresh sound that is likeable for some reason or another :T

I think I bought this at Walmart for $4.00 about 6 years ago :B

I have to ask:Is that Michael jackson on the cover ???

[JorgenMan]

I love pretty much anything by They Might Be Giants; I can't get enough of Flood.
Ruki Vverh - Ay-yay-yay
Mango - Daina apie tave
Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention - Wowie Zowie
Styx - Mr. Roboto
The Pointer Sisters - Pinball Number Count

[Burke Strickland]

I have to ask:Is that Michael jackson on the cover ???

I have to answer: on a less-than-six-buck-per-copy Madacy release, not a chance -- they couldn't afford him. Besides, Wacko Jacko wouldn't be caught dead wearing so little makeup.

[audioqueso]

Saddest album EVER made.
Only admitting that I own it, not like it.

[BTB]

Hi All,

Funny I had no idea this part of the forum even existed until this morning! What a fun place this is, wish I knew about it sooner!

Anyway, here's my contribution... "Justified" by Justin Timberlake ops: ... ultra lame and I love it!!!

My secret shame revealed... I feel so much better now!!

[Chris D]

:rofl: Good one!

[Burke Strickland]

The Neil Diamond Collection -- he had some interesting lite-rock hits way back when, but he should have left "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" to The Hollies (who made it a hit).

I guess if The Band could have him on stage with them in the same concert (The Last Waltz -- not on the "Collections" album) where they also teamed up with Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchel, Dr. John and Bob Dylan, this Diamond may not be so rough after all. :>)

Burke

[Chris D]

Hey... I still like Neil Diamond! I grew up listening to his stuff with my dad.

[ShadowZA]

Some artists whom I DO like (and still listen to) and am not ashamed to admit are: Emmylou Harris (her "Quarter moon in a ten cent town" album is still one of my favourites); Barbra Streisand; Simon & Garfunkel; Moody Blues (still my favourite rock band); Alice Cooper; Crystal Gayle (would you believe, her music got me through some stressful exam times when I was studying at university during the early 80's); Slade; Heart (I have their "Alive in Seattle" DVD - great to see the Wilson sisters rockin' after so many years); The Carpenters (I was devastated when Karen passed away - was it in '82? - I love their music to bits), Abba (of course).

An artist whom I did like (as in really dig) as a teenager, whose music I don't own anymore and whose music I wouldn't be seen dead listening to ... John Paul Young especially one of his songs "Yesterday's Hero". ops:

[caleb]

Hey Shadow,

Your picture doesn't do you justice with music like that you must be at least 50 ! ! !

BTW - I also love Emmylou and most country rock groups as well.

We must ge together to compare notes.

Get new friends.

[devils&dust]

MAny albums of the eighties really sound interesting and brilliant with the right equipment. God bless I own some B&W 804 that let the music shine.

Recommendations: Billy joel - awesome records. I did not think that tey have such a good quality!

Shame on me - I own a David Hasselhoff record!!!

It's all about Bruuuuuuuuuuce

;x(

[Gump]

Everytime I hear this song I have this weird overwhelming need to sing along to it at the top of my lungs.....Little River Band "Lady". I have no idea why. Scares my kids a little bit. 8O

[Club1820]

Wow! never thought I would see Stevie Wonder, EW&F, or the Ohio Players on a list of embarrased to like and own.

Oh well.

Hello Club 1820,

The one thing we must remember being on the web...it's a very diverse universe. Many different cultures and races, which has a direct influence on the type(s)of music one tends to enjoy. But you can be sure that EW&F, Stevie and The Ohio Players have a strong and loyal following. As well as, have produced some of the greastest music on this planet!
