Shame bands
-
Ok, we all have them; bands (or songs) that we are ashamed to admit we enjoy, so spill it! Who do you hate to love?

I really like me some Incomplete by the Backstreet Boys.
I consider myself Libertarian, but I live in a Republican household. Listening to System of a Down, or anything by Serj would be bad if found out.
I do sing-a-long to some Spicegirls when it comes up on my iPod."This is the earth. And this is Pinky. You can tell the difference quite easily. One is a lump of inert matter hurtling blindly through the void. The other... is the earth." -The Brain -
Do songs from children's shows count? I may be in for a lot of shame...

Shut up, I'm an 80s child!I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
I'm in the same boat. :-P I like them the same way I like Fall Out Boy; for radio pop rock, it ain't half bad.
Biggest guilty pleasure? Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone". The runners-up are "Untouched" by the Veronicas and this little number.Posted By: Mike BradyDo songs from children's shows count? I may be in for a lot of shame...In Soviet Russia, Hoop-Dee-Doo reviews you!
No, never. Nostalgia is fun and perfectly acceptable. One night, a bunch of us were drinking, and somebody whipped out their cartoon themes playlist; what ensued was the greatest drunken singalong ever! OH-EE-OH! TAILSPIN! -

Dashing and daring,
Courageous and caring,
Faithful and friendly with stories to share....
I don't think I have any shame bands—at least, none that I can think of off the top of my head."Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain, and that's where you get shitty ideas from." - Unknown -

I have a sick addiction to 80's hair metal. Poison, Motley Crue, Alice Coopers comeback all that stuff. I do credit it with getting me into the music i listen to today though because Pantera were originally a hair metal band and i stuck with their music through thick and thin.

Ever listen to Pretty Boy Floyd? And if you want something with that hair metal sound, but a little more modern, I'd suggest looking into Robin Black. -
I LOVE the cover of "How Soon is Now" by Russian fake lesbians TATU.

Holla Back Girl. Don't ask why! I actually like Gwen Stafani. No Doubt kicked ass. One more short sentence.

oof, i can't share your sentiment there...
Family Guy
Brian: I spent all morning watching a VH1 special on Gwen Stefani. I don't know what a "Hollaback Girl" is -- all I know is I want her dead. -

Ok, I'll expose my shame now...and that was way less dirty in my head. Moving on. I have a weakness for the song stylings of one Mr. Steve Perry. Whether his one solo hit, or Journey, I just can't help myself I will sing along at the top of my lungs every time. Also, Blue October, ZZ Top, Eminem, Flyleaf, Guns and Roses and Staind. Additionally, I have an undying love for the songs "Sister Christian", "Funkytown", "Eye of the Tiger" and other one hit wonder songs of my youth. I have issues.

I can't think of any titles off the top of my head but often when I'm in the car with my family and a horrible soft rock station is on there will be a song or two that come on that I start singing along to in my head. Also there is a lot of oldies station songs that I know word for word.
Lately my girlfriend has got me hooked on Coheed and Cambria and My Chemical Romance. I used to want to blow my brains out when I heard those bands. -

Since Journey has been mentioned i've gotta through Boston into the mix. More than a feeling rocks! As a sidebar, WTF was with the Sopranos ending and Journey playing over the top of a fade to black, seriously. There's nothing wrong with liking ZZ Top, just straight up old fashioned rock music great stuff.

I'm glad you said that. I have plenty of friends who religiously hate them and I really don't understand that. When I used to not like them it's because I was in my shitty phase in high school where I didn't like anything that didn't sound like explosions with Cookie Monster singing over them. -
Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Creed, Linkin Park (I used to... before...), Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani(I was going to say it before the above post!), any metal that was released when I finally gained access to a working radio that I used in secret in the rafters of my garage (around 2000 or so), and many, many more. If you think I'm a total fairy check the regular music thread. My testicles have descended. Feel.

With bands like these people eventually start to criticize them for what types of fans they have and forever associate the band with the fans and forget about the music. I know that MyChem has a large % of preteen and teen angsty gothy sad-kids, and Coheed attracts more emo kids that one would think but I listen to these bands on my iPod alone so it's just me and the music. Doesnt really enter into my thoughts who else might be enjoying this music. Honestly I wouldnt give a shit if I was their only fan who WASN'T Circus Clown fetishist. It wouldnt change the way I enjoy their music.Geek Cartoonist. Creator of HijiNKS ENSUE -
Well said!

@Joel: I agree with Mike's sentiments; nicely put. (Although, for the record, I will say that some of MyChem's b-sides from the last album are stronger than the songs that made it on the album.)

Ok seriously, you guts have to stop making me do that! I'm worse than Cartman with "Come Sail Away"...which incidentally is another song I hate to love. -

Kansas. I saw them in concert! Although to be fair Yes was there too, so I was getting all my shame in for one low price. I've also been to 3 Aerosmith concerts so take that as you will.

Ha! Yes, that's an appropriate assessment. The guy's gotta be 50 and he can't stop himself from doing handstands on his keyboard.

Oh my god... today next door I heard a number of songs in a row I will never hear within the space of the same DAY again coming from the yard of my rich next-door neighbors: get the party started by Pink, dude looks like a lady, something by Elton John, and Twist and shout. -
Indeed. I defer to your majesty.
