Bands/Singers You're Embarrassed to admit you like?

[Number 9 Dream]

Are there any bands/singers you enjoy in the privacy of your own home or in the sanctity of your car? ;) Bands you never thought you'd like for a million years until you actually gave them a chance?

For me it would be the Bee Gees....When I was younger, I found their high-pitched voices weird and not musically appealing at ALL...until about a year or so ago when I watched an episode of That 70's Show that featured the Bee Gees songs as disco music. Then Saturday Night Fever came on t.v. and I was even more hooked-- they have some really awesome songs! So, I'm not sure if it was Eric Forman's geeky imitation of a disco dance or John Travolta's gyrating hips, but I began to like the Bee Gees a lot! I wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan or anything ( I reserve that title for the Beatles ;) ) but they are definately a good group with some very nice, catchy songs....just don't tell anyone I said that ;)

Some of my favorite Bee Gees songs:

"How Deep is Your Love?"
"I Started a Joke"
"Tragedy"
"I Just Want to Be Your Everything"
"Love You Inside Out"
"Nights on Broadway"
"Stayin' Alive"
"More than a Woman"
"Shadow Dancing"
"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"
"The Grease theme"
"Emotion"
"Jive Talkin'"

Anyone else?

[Cactus Jack]

[Cactus Jack]

Actually Frankie Valli sang the Grease theme Barry Gibb wrote it though

[Number 9 Dream]

Ooo ok cool :D I was wondering why the Bee Gees sounded so deep for that song :D

What did the Starlight Vocal Band sing?

[seventies_sitcoms]

Does anybody remember the Starland Vocal Band television show? I was only 5 or 6 when it was on, and I could tell even then it was horrid! They drove around in this van I think with swirly-wavy 70's style lettering of the band's name on it.

The Bee Gees rule! :rock:

[Courtnee]

I like a couple of Britney Spears songs :blush: I also like Christina but I'm not ashamed of it.;)

[MrWarmth]

Karen Carpenter was an extremely talented singer. Some of her material was treacle, but there was a lot of depth to her singing. Alright, that is as serious as I'm gonna get, gang.

I do. It was horrible. Remember, David Letterman was on there. He did some stupid joke stuff, can't remember, he was sooooo bad. It was his first time doing something like that on television. He was a nobody then. Funny, who has the last laugh now??:lol: :lol:

[Ireneparalegal]

I like The Carpenters a lot. I'm not really embarrassed to admit that I like them. People just look at me weird when I tell them.
I love the Carpenters. Karen's voice was as clear as, well, I can't think of anything to compare it to. She sang clearly, softly, it was the sound of an angel. No one can sing like that. I could actually understand the words. Beautiful voice.

[EmoJoe]

I like one or two Hilary Duff songs :seeya: :blush:

[TVFactFan]

Gloria Estefan
Tori Amos
Celiene Dion

[Number 9 Dream]

Gloria Estefan
Tori Amos
Celiene Dion


I like some of Tori's songs...she has a very nice voice and always writes lyrics true to her heart, no matter how painful they are. She's good.

[The Chauffeur]

Gloria Estefan
Tori Amos
Celiene Dion

Why would anyone be embarrassed of Tori? She's a genius!:eek:

[Karen*]

I love both Britney Spears and Hilary Duff and I am embarrassed to admit that. :blush: I also like Michael Jackson...back when he was black! :lol:

[Steve M.]

It also featured a young comedian named. . . David Letterman.

By the way, retrogirl, the SVB sang "Afternoon Delight." :eek:

[Steve M.]

I'm embarassed to admit I like a couple of John Denver tunes. :lol:

[Cactus Jack]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Number 9 Dream]

OMG, I love Michael's old tunes! He's really talented :)

[EmoJoe]

Oh yeah, I like Micheal Jackson's old songs too :p

I used to LOVE Britney Spears and I even went to one of her concerts when I was 7 puke:

I hate her now, though.

The Bee Gees are nothing to be embarrassed about!! They've had a long, successful career with millions of fans.

I'm not embarrassed about it but I've loved Barry Manilow's music since I was a kid. I still have all his albums(yes, albums). Not that I can play them since I don't have a record player!!

I like several of The Carpenters' songs. But my favorite song of theirs didn't
even make the Top 40 (to my surprise): "Sweet, Sweet Smile." I hear it on the
radio sometimes, though. I wonder how high it charted.

[tv star collector]

I also like songs by Hilary Duff, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson,
and John Denver. (I have very diverse musical tastes!)

[dawsongirl]

the SVB sang "Afternoon Delight." :eek:

One of the WORST songs ever. :barf:

[The Chauffeur]

One of the WORST songs ever. :barf:
And a dirty song :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

[dawsongirl]

:lol: So true. I'm surprised they didn't follow up with Midnight Delight, Morning Delight, Snuck Away From Work Delight...

[The Chauffeur]

:lol: So true. I'm surprised they didn't follow up with Midnight Delight, Morning Delight, Snuck Away From Work Delight...
Or Broom Closet Delight...:rotflmao:

I have taken a lotta heat over the years for my devotion to both of the above, and would probably be embarassed to admit I liked the Carpenters, too--even though I agree Karen was blessed with unique talent! (The Bee Gees and Barry Manilow are also, for that matter!) These days I take a lotta crap from my kids about Motown, John Denver, and Josh Groban OMG!

I don't admit liking ABBA, though LOL! (Actually, guess I just did!)

TV Star Collector:

"Sweet Sweet Smile" made it as far as #44 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart in 1978. Surprisingly it cracked the top ten (#8) on the country charts! :eek: BTW, it was the Carpenters' only single on the country charts.

[TheGreatPretender]

Fall Out Boy. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh they are so ****ing stupid but I have to admit I like the melody of the chorus to We're Going Down or whatever that song is even though I can hardly understand one word that red-haired guy with the deformed face is saying. And I like one other song by them but I can't think of the name.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Hilary Duff, Hall & Oats

[Dean Winchester]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

what's so wrong with The Carpenters? They had a lot of great pop songs in the early 70's. You cannot deny that Close To You and Superstar are classics.

[Janice]

The Bee Gees

Barry Manilow

REO Speedwagon

Yanni

The Carpenters

Air Supply

Bread

[Dean Winchester]

I might as well come out and admit that I like some of Michael Bolton's music. I loved the Soul Provider album

[Steve M.]

Like Janice, I like Bread. But you didn't hear it from me! :lol:

[MariposaLKB]

The Bee Gees

Barry Manilow

REO Speedwagon

Yanni

The Carpenters

Air Supply

Bread


Oh yeah....all those others besides the Bee Gees and Barry too LOL! And Michael Bolton's opera album!

Bee Gees are a great group. That song Fanny was real good and Love You Inside Out was the bomb back in 1979.

[RustyShackleford]

Ok well usually im into heavy metal, death metal, classic rock,and alternative rock so im pretty much a rocker through and through, the first part of my cd book is all my rock stuff, but this is the stuff people I know dont know about I have Barry Manilow, Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, Daniel Bedingfield, Nick Lachey, ABBA, Mariah Carey, Il Divo, Cascada, The Rod Stewart American Songbook and some Country mostly Kenny Chesney and Alan Jackson

[gilligan fanatic]
