    ouch.
    Right - what is wrong with the Bee Gees? And why are you embarassed??:D
    I have everything from the Rolling Stones to Sinatra,Barry Manilow AND Celine Dion, JJ CAle and RHCP.Donna Summer and Eric Clapton.
    Never ever justify your taste in music - it is such a personal thing.
    I remember loving Abba from when they won Eurovision,(yes I am old) and got a lot of stick from people over the years when I played their music LOUD when it hadn't yet become cool to like them again.
    Sod it, I like what I like!!!

    Speaking of, mine are Steps' first 2 albums. Oh the shame. Mind you, they did a good version of "Tragedy"...

    LOL! CSG, I must agree with that one! I didn't expect to like that one either, but I really do!

    Also, James Brown's Greatest hits. Picked it up on a long trip for something different to listen to and laughed all the way! Then it got stuck in my head...
    "Papa Don't take No Mess!"
    It grows on you!!

    Nickelback - Silver Side Up

    *shudder

    In fairness I didn't actually buy it, I "aquired" it. Back in the olden days we had to borrow our friend's CDs and rip them, no broadband or bittorrent to download whole albums with. And I had to encode the mp3s at a shocking 64KB/s to save space on my 128MB flash player.

    Man, we had it hard back then!

    What's wrong with James Brown? No shame in liking the Godfather of Soul... One of the most influential artists ever....

    Kung Pow. A DVD and not CD. It was made intentionally to be the utimate in cheesy, bad taste, and profane. But I just love the fight between The Chosen One and the Jersey cow!:D

    I have loads of embarassing CDs.. Boyzone, Take That, Spice Girls, Five, thankfully my taste has improved a bit since then


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭dbnavan


    I have owned some dodgy music in the past......

    1) Bros Album
    2) Dublin Town, by Damien Dempsey
    3) Bosco's greatest hit (Relax I was 5, was a record to!)

    ......ok maybe I will stop now.

    I can only think of one embaressing CD in my collection that I genuinely like: Roxette's Greatest Hits. I know, I know, it's a crime against cool but I still like some of their ballads...

    Erm, just remembered I also have the Dirty Dancing soundtrack and quite like a few of the songs on it too.

    There are, of course, some seriously dodgy CD's in my collection that I never listen to and don't like any more but that's for another thread.

    around 1993 I think it was called Jungle Massive, it was a classic all the big jungle tunes of the day :D *shudder*
