A piece of music you really like but are embarrassed to admit...

What's a piece of music you like -- any genre -- but are embarrassed to admit to liking?

I guess mine would have to be Gimme More.:O

I've always been a bit embarrassed of loving Vivaldi so much. His music is so often regarded as "easy listening baroque", and maybe it is, but I can't help loving it.

If you're embarrassed to admit you like it... why would you say you like it here? :huh:

Wouldn't that just embarrass you further?

Yes, but we're among friends...or at least compatriots.

And besides, you could always say you listen to said piece "to research for your next composition." Anything for the sake of art.:P

I like a lot of things that others might sneer at, but I'll be quick to set them in their place at the first sign of that sneer!

I dare anyone.

T.a.T.u. happen to have a number of songs I really REALLY like.

I'm not embarrassed about anything I like....some things may be more of a guilty pleasure, but to any hardcore jazz-snob I'll own up to anything I like...I'll happily admit that I really dig Chuck Mangione:

Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good

There's nothing that I listen to that I'm ashamed of listening too. If it's good, it's good.

I love Rammstein's Du Hast...the electronica intro and main guitar riff, at least. Not as big a fan of the vocals. :musicwhistle:

I gots a REALLY big weakspot for Metalica's Enter Sandman... I don't know, it just sounds... "sexy".

Oh, Enter Sandman is amazing. I'm definitely not ashamed of liking that one. :D

I hate Enter Sandman, but occasionally do like some rock music. Muse have some good songs, and Iron Maiden have some good songs... but I can only take a certain amount at once.

And Queen are pretty musical and enjoyable.

I like Metallica(the old stuff, cliche i know but..), but Enter Sandman it too overplayed, i can't hear that any of that.

I'm not ashamed of anything i like cuz i like it for a reason.

I listen to all kinds of stuff, metal, classical, jazz, rock, electronica...etc i just select what sounds good to me.

I generally don't have a problem liking music. Some of my composer friends think that they need to have perfect taste that no one can find fault with, but I think as a composer, you have the right to not only listen to everything you want, but you should listen to all the music you can, no matter what genre. Then, if anyone gets on you for listening to music they don't like you get to whip out the "I'm a composer card" which generally stops the jeering and sneering.

So I'll just say it. I like Disney Soundtracks.

And even though I'm a huge David Bowie fan, I like Elton John. Yes David Bowie is a more brilliant artist, but sometimes I just want to listen to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

I love that song. Seriously.

UP THE IRONS!

*returns to normal mode*

I'm definitely not ashamed of liking Maiden, being one of 10,000 people singing along to Fear of the Dark was almost certainly one of the most exciting musical moments of my life :D

Lion king soundtrack!

I'm not ashamed of loving it, but I guess some people might find this embarrassing :P

Lion King was the last great Disney film, and one I'm still happy to watch.

:blush:

wow that chuck mangione guy is great, never heard him before :), I've never really thought about being embarassed because of music.. hrmm.. i like jonny cash... and i think the original micheal jackson stuff is cool like thriller and stuff, although i don't listen to it that much. I also like Frank Sinatra

awesome

YouTube - Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues live at San Quentin prison

Hah, this'll be a fun thread. I have to say that I don't really feel embarrassed about liking any music, but I'll contribute here on the grounds that some people may consider that I SHOULD.

First up is one of my absolute favourite soundtracks, and it's from Muppet's Treasure Island. Besides the fact that it's all rousing piratey fare from the best days of Hans Zimmer, it also includes some really really cute songs, also by him. I should mention that I don't actually like the movie, just the music.

Thanks to the wondrous wealth of material that is YouTube, I can share my favourite actual sung songs from the soundtrack. Unfortunately, the actual score bits are not available, which is a pity because they're quite good.

Anyhow, enjoy:

Shiver my Timbers

Professional Pirate

For those of you who'll recognize it, the Boom Shakalaka song was also from this soundtrack, although apparently there isn't a scene from the movie with it on YouTube. Ah well. :)

I like Michael Jackson as well, particularly Thriller. What's interesting is how harmonically colourful a lot of his songs are - many of them throw in elements of funk for extra zest.

I do experience something of a mental block when I listen to him now, though, given the various "extra-curricular activities" he appears likely to have participated in since the bulk of his notable material was recorded.

And Marius, you're a brave man. :P

i like jonny cash... micheal jackson stuff ... I also like Frank Sinatra.

You're embarrassed to like Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra??! :blink: Three of the greatest and most influential artists of all-time?

hah well.. ok i dunno, i guess cuz theyre in the Popular genre.. im not really i was just trying to think of something lol.. im actually proud that i like their music

Anything by P. D. Q. Bach...

:whistling:

i like the mortal kombat theme for the first 15 sec, after that i wanna break my cd player...its just so damn catchy

When I first began to like musical theater, classical and later opera, at first I was embarrassed because it was out of the norm for a young teenage, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old to like that sort of thing. It's still unusual now that I'm sixteen but I've learned to overcome it and though I used to pause my music when others came close, I now proudly listen to the greatest music ever written, (and have been known to play it a little louder than I should in hopes that others might hear it as well)
