Third Eye Blind is my SECRET SHAME. What's yours? [I'm going to see them!!]

[Javery]

I love Third Eye Blind. There. I said it. Seriously. All 3 of their CDs are great from start to finish. I can't explain it. Normally I don't like sugary coated over-produced pop bands but this one is different (for me at least).

I know all of you music lovers out there listen to bands or songs that you wouldn't ordinarily like but for some reason you can't help yourself. Any metalheads out there like some country songs? Any hip-hop fans out there that can't get Freebird out of their heads? I know at least one of you has some N'Sync on that iPod...

C'mon, it's time to come clean.

EDIT: Woo hoo!!!!! I just scored Third Eye Blind tickets for me and the mrs. for October 26 on Long Island!!!!! I can't believe I'm actually going to see my secret shame in concert!!! :rofl:

[onetrackmind]

:rofl: for some reaosn just picturing you singing along to third eye blind is making me laugh

[Strell]

Hoku's "Another Dumb Blond" song.

....

:(

[chickenhawk]

No secret shame here. I have a very open relationship with my music.

[Javery]

:rofl: for some reaosn just picturing you singing along to third eye blind is making me laugh

I've been doing just that every morning for the last 2 weeks on my run! The neighbors are probably like "WTF is wrong with that weirdo?"

[zman73]

Hey, I liked their first album too... still listen to it from time to time as a RARELY listen to radio anymore

My secret shame at the moment HAS to be Saved by the Bell (have it on my 3rd TIVO in the bedroom to watch with the wife when going to bed)... the show is pure cheese... they has the TV movie on the other night where the gang went on a hawaii vacation and saved the resort owned by Kelly's grandfather... and of course dumb ass Zack falls in love with some hooch who got knocked up as a teen, apparently leaving her no time to groom those big ass eyebrows she had... the acting is so bad, its riveting

God I love Saved By The Bell. I've probably seen every episode at least 3 times.

[Mr.Answer]

Still love to watch the Justice Leage (the old one) Meanwhile at the hall of Justice.....

[onetrackmind]

I've been doing just that every morning for the last 2 weeks on my run! The neighbors are probably like "WTF is wrong with that weirdo?"

dude thats priceless, i cant remmeber what their song was called but it was off their first album and went "du du du" or something like that. thats the song i picture you singing... awesome my friend

[Droogs]

My secret shame would be the All American Rejects...I hated their first album, and i have been secretly listening to their second album since it's been out. I also caught them playing at Miami University of ohio for free.

I'm sure my friends would make fun of me if they ever knew, considering all they listen to involves screaming and random guitar note playing.

[Javery]

Semi-Charmed Life. Great tune. :D

[Darwin23]

third eye blind is always my roadtrip music. whenever i drive to vegas, i make sure i have 3eb on my ipod. no shame in that. love that group.

DDR is my secret shame. DDR freestyle.

[jaykrue]

Listening to Linkin Park. I don't have a lot of angst or self-loathing... really! I just like their musak :oops:

[zman73]

Semi-Charmed Life. Great tune. :D

Agreed... know all the words to that one too

[GuilewasNK]

Nikka Costa - Everybody Got Their Something

Yeah, I said it.

[Z-Saber]

Semi-Charmed Life. Great tune. :D
Awesome song. Helloooooo 90's.

I'd have to say videogame music in general. I like ALMOST all of it.

[punqsux]

:rofl: for some reaosn just picturing you singing along to third eye blind is making me laugh
i demand a video of this!

[Brak]

I enjoy the song "One Word" by Kelly Osbourne (sans-bratty gimmick). When I first heard it, I was intrigued, wondering who the fuck it was. And I was baffled when I found out...

[punqsux]

i dont have any secret likes or anything, i dont believe in secrets, but people find it weird that i love the spice girls.

[mykevermin]

So did you steal my topic idea or is this a "Great Minds" moment?

Mine is europop; Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys - I'll fuckin' dance!

[Inferno-X]

I am a 90's grunge rock guy, I can't stand country music. It's rough living in the heart of Hickville, USA.

Having said that my 'secret shame' would be that I like Garth Brooks and have about six of his CD's.

[WeaponX2099]

I like Ace of base's 1st album and It's a beautiful life. Why I don't know.

[The VGM]

It's not a secret (but I don't go around talking about them all the time either) but I love Eiffel 65's Europop. I know all the songs and shit too. I blame my 11 year old self.

[munch]

I like Ace of base's 1st album and It's a beautiful life. Why I don't know.


I loved that Ace of Base cd. it was awesome.

mine now is the new kelly clarkson cd. my fiancee bought and i burned it. i hate the fact that i like it.

[mr ryles]

I like wine coolers. thats right I said it.

[WeaponX2099]

I like wine coolers. thats right I said it.

What kind?

[itspaidgasterblaster]

I hate most mainstream music so i hardly ever listen to the radio and mostly i hate hip hop but that song from Kanye west i can't stop listening to it "gold digger"

[2poor]

...ive been to an ashlee simpson concert...

[help1]

mike jones - still tippin

[Mr. Anderson]

I don't have anything TOO bad, but I still listen to gloss emo/screamo, ala Thursday, Death Cab, etc.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Semi-Charmed Life. Great tune. :D

One of my friends has that on his "work out" playlist. :lol:


I'm not actually ashamed of anything I listen to. Stuff I own, sure. But those are merely relics from the past.

[WeaponX2099]

...ive been to an ashlee simpson concert...

Ok that's horrible, unless your got ass because of that action. did you?

[whiteboy]

I like Ace of base's 1st album and It's a beautiful life. Why I don't know.
The beat never gets old! I second this...

[2poor]

no pussy... :oops:

Now it's sad.

Don't sweat it. There's nothing wrong with liking them.

If you like something that the masses like, that's OK. But if you like something because the masses like it, then there's a problem. Nothing wrong with liking something popular and mainstream!

[Saucy Jack]

I believe that if you like something, you shouldn't be ashamed to admit it. Everyone has different tastes, and every single thing (book/movie/etc.) has a fan. Also, if you are a fan of someone, and you want them to produce more products, you should be vocal about being a fan. People need to know that they are appreciated, so don't be ashamed to admit that you are a fan of something or someone.

[coolcps]

third eye blind is so 4th grade, that semi charmed life song was my favorite back then. I dont have any secret shames in music, i am open, ABBA ROCKS!!!

[Ziv_Zulander]

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go is one of my most played mp3s.

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

Frou Frou...

[AnchorsAway]

I love Third Eye Blind as well, havent heard much of the latest album though.
I wish people would stop treating music as a fashion....listen to what you like and blast it in your car. be proud.

Exactly. Nothing is worse than someone finding the most obscure music just so they can be different than everyone else. If you really like it then bump it, crank it, blast it. Hell, I have rode down the street with things from Steve Austin's theme to Moonlight Sonata.

[camoor]

Mine is europop; Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys - I'll fuckin' dance!

Crap, I don't dance but I listen to all of that.

I also have a weakness for cheesy trance (Oakenfold), happy hardcore DAMMIT - speed up the bpm on that Aqua mother fuckers!!

I am also a fan of any pop song that you add a beat to, listening to Thunderpuss Royal Gigalos, etc

[camoor]

Funny you bring up pro wrestling themes, as that's where my mind wandered before I got to that part of your comment. When you have seen a t-top firebird (or camaro, or one of those fuckin' redneck "dudeman" cars) teeming with toothless wonders, crankin' "WEEEELLLL, IT'S THE BIG SHOW!" at fuckin' 11, well, that's when you've figured out that some people *should* be ashamed of themselves.

By "ashamed of themselves" you mean "lit on fire" right?

[zionoverfire]

80s pop.

[jmcc]

80s pop.
Need to be more specific. There's good 80s pop.

[jlarlee]

Ah I have to voice in with defending 3EB. They have CDs that have no filler which is rare these days. With me I'm finding I'm mellowing out. Thankfully that doesn't mean liking country which seems to happen to a lot of people as they get older. But I have found that I kind of like some of the EMO and I really really like Five for Fighting. I got hooked in by that 100 years song. 5 years ago I would have never lsitened to them now I own both of the albums

[jlarlee]

i like g-unit and some other rappers that most people dont...however, i DO hate mike jones, paul wall, slim thug, and probably a lot more...but i like lots of mainstream rap that people just love to hate...but i also like what some hiphop fans call "tasteful" hiphop too...

I will say this, 50 Cent's "How to Rob" is a damn funny song. It's really the only one of his that I like besides "21 Questions".

[m1lesteg]

Ok, ready?
Ready?
I think "MMMBop" is a great pick-me-up song.

And then I kind of enjoy In Flames and Arch Enemy

[punqsux]

Duran Duran is my shame.:cry:
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

[Puzznic]

I own and enjoy the Josie and the Pussycats movie soundtrack.

[soulvengeance]

I have some justin timberlake, cry me a river.

Jerking off wouldn't really be a secret shame. My shame is that I like their music.

My sister used to listen to T.a.t.u., back before their album came out in the US.

[Strell]

I own and enjoy the Josie and the Pussycats movie soundtrack.

Haha, me too. Well, I'm in the midst of getting it soon.

Even worse: Playing guitar part to "3 small Words" in a talent show...and yes, it was terrible.

[Dead of Knight]

I have some justin timberlake, cry me a river.

(runs in corner and sobs uncontrollably).

Fuck yeah. I also enjoy his NSync stuff too, and Backstreet Boys. This is more than likely because I was a preteen when their stuff was out, and I enjoy the nostalgia....

[Reality's Fringe]

Numa Numa.

Actually, the only music I'm not OK with men listening to his Hanson. You are such a loser if you listen to 'em.

[oleander]

Man, I listen to a lot of nerdy things...like Erasure and Ace of Base...and Weird Al...but I'm mostly ashamed of liking Linkin Park, and that I find a few Backstreet Boys songs to be catchy (and I have occasionally listened to Snow, but that is entirely the fault of nostalgia, and the fact that I was too young to know better at the time)
But I swear I actually like the bands in my sig and didn't just put them in there to look cool...

EDIT: guess I'll add "Pop Goes the World" by Men Without Hats - not to the ones that I'm ashamed of, but to the ones that I probably should be...

I'd like to stress this point, but be a little more...critical.

Everyone on this site who rants about how glorious underground music is and how evil mainstream music is is a bullshitter. I'm 100% positive that almost all of you crank a radio hit more than once a day, and don't complain about how that artist is ruining the industry.

Eminem and Kanye are great. So are Linkin Park and System of a Down. God forbid that a musician makes a catchy tune, gets popular, and makes money.

There is a reason that a lot of bands don't make it big- they suck.

Do you know that in their day, Mozart and Bach were extremely famous and popular.

The fact is that either people are becoming less intelligent or commercialism is destroying the public's critical ear for music.

Hey - I'm as guilty as anyone else, I have enjoyed catchy tunes by Eminem, No Doubt, Linkin Park... That doesn't mean that I have to dig the materialistic and mysogynistic message they promote, or fail to realize that they are performing in the musical equivelent of the gutter.

[jlarlee]

It is imposible not to like "The Call"
that first one off their new album sounds like a Bryan Adams song

[triforcer]

T.a.t.u.
how's their album, i've only heard their singles and i pretty much enjoyed them back when they debuted.

It is imposible not to like "The Call"
oh shit, i was thinking of that song when i read that backstreet boy post. that's about the only that i listened to repeatedly on my own accord.

and nothing wrong with death cab for cutie, check out the postal service if you're into them.

i also enjoy linkin park, but i also love hearing those jokes about angst filled teens going to the rooms to listen to them while crying in a corner:rofl: i remember when they're first single came out back before they exploded and i enjoyed them ever since. the songs are just too catchy and most of you need to lighten up and freely admit to what you like.

non-music related i also enjoy saved by the bell, but that's not really embarrassing since everyone loves saved by the bell (not the new classes bullshit). i also enjoyed watching Disney channel made movies, i don't know i just find them entertaining. i watched that roller blading one "brink" a few times just because it's so cheesy and entertaining. it was a few years ago when i was back in high school and i watched a lot of tv, now i don't watch as much tv and just bittorrent shows im interested in seeing so i don't watch these movies any more. although i have freely admitted to my friends that i did this so it was no secret.

[Mike23]

Oh, I enjoyed Who's the Boss.

What, bitch?

[2poor]

who didnt enjoy whos the boss?

[triforcer]

never got into who's the boss, maybe i was too young. i did however like charles in charge, that's kind of like a new who's the boss, but now you know who's in charge... the boss, which was charles...

[WeaponX2099]

I like hanson's weird. Also like BSB's the call remix with the Neptunes and the clipse. cry me a river is good. Men with hats Safety Dance is so fucking cold, i try to bump that once a week.

............................Elton John. Leave me alone.

[Reality's Fringe]

............................Elton John. Leave me alone.

Nothing wrong with Elton John. The man has talent. He's not his own lyricist, but he composes music around the songs. It takes as much delicacy and creativity as writing them.

[Scorch]

I don't see why anyone would be embarassed to like Linkin Park. I like 'em.

I like older Mariah Carey stuff. It's not bad. The girl has a good range. I think she's hot, too. Check out the funbags on her, they're insane.

I have an urge right now to listen to "Drive" (http://a425.v8384d.c8384.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/426/8384/3b858b51/mtvrdstr.download.akamai.com/8512/wmp/1/546/25927_1_14_05.asf) by the Cars. I think "Motown Philly" by Boyz II Men is a badass song. I love 90's music, especially "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum, and you're not human if you don't like that song. I actually enjoy a great deal of 90's music, by bands trapped in the 90's (not necessairly bands that went into obscurity post-90's, but bands that were just big in the 90's and still play but they're not-so-big now) like Counting Crows, Gin Blossims, etc.

I like the "STOP remix" of "Drive Me Crazy" by Britney Spears. There, I said it. It's actually alright. At least it's no worse than some of you closet cases admitting to rocking out to the Backstreet Boys.

As far as Hanson goes.. eh. "Yearbook" by Hanson is an alright song, "Penny and Me" by Hanson is also OK.. I can't tolerate either more than once every three months or so.

"I've been waiting (for a girl like you)" is one of the best songs ever. Ever. So is "More Than Words" by Extreme.

John Mayer is not bad. He helps you get laid, if anything, but he's good on the guitar. I love the "Room For Squares" CD, but I hate the two or three songs from it that were on the radio.

I love "Cool" by Gwen Stefani. Not so much a fan of the lyrics, but the music is great. I love older No Doubt songs as well, but I don't think that's something to be embarassed about.

Kenny G.. man, let me tell ya. I don't listen to him on Winamp or anything, but man, if you find a copy of that one CD he has, I think it's called "Breathless" or something, put that on right before you fall asleep, I guarentee you'll be out within 180 seconds.. best $3.99 investment EVER.

Oh, i'll be back in this topic. A lot.

[gambitmachete]

Third Eye Blind is great. I'm not ashamed of any music I like. People need to stop worrying about what is "acceptable" to like and do. (Except you losers who like emo and screamo, that shit sucks balls.)

[Saucy Jack]

Linkin Park is OK. When they're on the radio, I don't change it. They're pretty good.

"Runaway Train" is a good song. I like a lot of 90s songs, but I think I like the 80s more. The 80s station on XM is my favorite station, along with the comedy one. There's so much stuff from the 80s that you can listen to over and over again.

"I've Been Waiting..." is a pretty good song. However, whenever I hear it I think of GTA Vice City and accidentally cutting up those construction workers with the RC airplane. :rofl:

I think one of the best songs ever is "Seperate Ways" by Journey. I love that song. Oddly enough, I think it would make a good anime music video.

If I had to pick some music that I'm slightly embarrassed by... I'd pick the following:

Canto-Pop and J-pop: I rarely play these around others. I've gotten a bunch of comments from my family about listening to these; they think I'm starting to turn Chinese or Japanese, plus they're annoyed that they don't understand the lyrics. It's good stuff, though. :)

Cake Like: I've never played this without headphones on. They kick ass, but I would hate being nagged by others for listening to an all-girl group. They rock, though! Maybe I can convert my brother into a fan, and then I can blast their music in peace. :)

[jughead]

Well it is definately The Bloodhound Gang.

[Deadpool]

Fiona Apple is the shit!

[mietha]

Honestly I don't see anything wrong with Third Eye Blind. Pretty damn good band. Not the greatest ever or anything, but it's not like it's 98 degrees or something. And WTF is wrong with bloodhound gang? Awesome band. I saw them with Nerf Herder and Isabella's Gift in a small local club a few years ago. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. My shame though? Spice Girls. I love the fucking Spice Girls. Don't know what it is. And yes, it is absolutely possible to hate anything remotely involving the Backstreet Boys. They are a blight on society. Kind of like NKOTB, but less fun to laugh at.

[Saucy Jack]

Well it is definately The Bloodhound Gang.

Nothing wrong with that. I like The Bloodhound Gang.

[basketkase543]

I gotta say I'm a fan of Kelly Clarkson's song "Hazel Eyes". I'm not a pop music person at all but every so often a song comes along that just grows on me.

[1modernboy]

My secret shame has got to be 70s cheese rock. I actually legally downloaded Starland Vocal Band’s Afternoon Delight.

[Z-Saber]

Let me be the first then to say I really don't like most modern mainstream pop/rock/rap. No, it's not because it's mainstream and played on the radio. I just don't like it. I'm not hating on anyone who does like it, I'm not saying that my music is 13373r thin j00, I just don't have a taste for it. And I don't automatically like everything underground just because it isn't as popular. For example, I'm hating a lot of new hardcore stuff. Doesn't appeal to me at all.

Now, with that aside, I am strangely attracted to that one Black Eyed Peas song "Don't Funk With My Heart" or whatever it's called. It may fall into the above categories, but I'm not closed minded. I hate the Black Eyed Peas, but I like that song.

Love Nsync. Maybe it's because, like was mentioned earlier, it's nostalgic. But I do like them. I think/hope my sister still has their CDs.

Loved No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. Awesome CD.

80's pop in general, along with 90's poprock.

Love 80's hair metal. Love love love it. Stryper is my all time favorite band. I actually saw them a few weeks ago. They are back together and have a new CD out. The CD to me is just okay, but live, performing all their old stuff, they blow anything I have seen out of the water. And I've a seen tons of shows. They were the best, no question.

I'm sure there's more, but I'm done for now.

[mykevermin]

My secret shame has got to be 70s cheese rock. I actually legally downloaded Starland Vocal Band’s Afternoon Delight.



Well, Arrested Development made that song pretty cool, if only for a moment.

Your post reminds me, I'm surprised nobody brought up how they love to sing along, as loud as humanly possible, to the chorus of Journey's "Open Arms." (Not to even mention "Don't Stop Believin'")

[MrBadExample]

Nikka Costa - Everybody Got Their Something

Yeah, I said it.
Hey, that's a great CD. No shame in your game. :)

Or to Boston's More Than a Feeling!

There's not a better secret shame CD in the history of the world than Journey's Greatest Hits. Every single note on that album is perfect. Well, maybe Def Leppard's Hysteria comes close but I'd give the edge to Journey because the worst song on that album (Send Her My Love) is miles better than the worst song on Hysteria (Excitable).

This is actually a very true statement. I don't know that I would say every note is perfect, but that is a damn good piece of music. That is probably a secret shame now that I think about it.

[itspaidgasterblaster]

You bring a good point soad is a great and talented band, but if you listen to their first album you realize that what made them so great had vanished in the new album. They use to be melodic and hard they were different but their new sings in my opinion really suck. They do sell a lot of records but it seems that the way they change their musical direction was a mistake. Again they are so talented I love every song in their first cd. Korn made a classic on thier first cd. Deftones made excellent albums with adrenaline, around the fur, and white pony. Linkin Park is an okay band with real catchy tunes. I stoped listening to most radio because they play the same songs over and over and i hate that. THere are bands that have so much talent. Hawthorne heights, silverstein, strike anywhere, keane, ringside, antigone rising, aqualung, lovehatehero, this is different types of music that are great. The thing for me that led me to stop to listen to mainstream for the most part was that the bands or artists sometimes they lose the edge they had when they were not famous. THis is what i listen to not on the radio i have my mp3 and i will repeat a song maybe once every 3 weeks. I have well over 2000 songs in there.
Bands i like: Between the buried and me, underoath, symphony in peril, As I Lay Dying, strike anywhere, Bloodhound gang, antigone rising, radiohead, coldplay, u2, aqualung, suicidal tendencies, pantera(rip), god forbid, himsa, lamb of god, norma jean, sepultura, NIN, Linkin Park, Martyr AD, Sinai Beach, Atreyu, anterrabae, unearth, pig destroyer, 2pac, Falling Cycle (rip), drowning man, scarlet, scars of tomorrow, haste the day, 3, the red chord, zao, misery signals, nodes of ranvier, the chariot, gismachi, 18 visions, poison the well, bleeding through, everytime i die, throwdown, terror, a life once lost, all that remains, thursday, embrace, glass casket, caliban, shadows fall, beneath the ashes, give up the ghost (rip), Aerosmith, the doors, eagle eye cherry, soul asylum, gin blossoms, seventh star, bloddy sunday, Dillinger escape plan, go betty go, roses are red, mae, strung out, on broken wings, evergreen terrace, and there are more but this bands are great. There are a few bands in this list that have world wide success and they are amazing. U2 the best band in the world and I love their music, between the buried and me they are such a diverse band, the lead singer can scream, growl and sing with such poise. The way i feel about mainstream is that the artists are not true to themselves so it reflects in their music. Rap for the most part i hate it because the image is more important than the music.




I'd like to stress this point, but be a little more...critical.

Everyone on this site who rants about how glorious underground music is and how evil mainstream music is is a bullshitter. I'm 100% positive that almost all of you crank a radio hit more than once a day, and don't complain about how that artist is ruining the industry.

Eminem and Kanye are great. So are Linkin Park and System of a Down. God forbid that a musician makes a catchy tune, gets popular, and makes money.

There is a reason that a lot of bands don't make it big- they suck.

Well, I'll agree that "underground" music would not be as enticing if it weren't for the existence of mainstream music to contrast it with. OTOH, my disdain for mainstream music as a whole is based upon the production of music for profit's sake, rather than music's sake (which is not, of course, the exclusive domain of popular music; plenty of "underground" bands want money, but genuinely are poor artists - but I digress).

My problem is with the repetition inherent in popularity. A few assrock ballads were popular in the 80's, so *every* cockrock band had to include one lame-ass acoustic "Girl You Know I Want Only You Standing in the Rain" kind of crap (juxtaposed with 11 other tracks of "I <3 Jack Daniel's" and "Fuckin' and Runnin'" kind of buttrock, strangely enough). It got bad enough that a band decided that they would become SUPREMELY popular if they only put out albums of shitty ballads (and thus the phrase "Rockin' Like Dokken" was born). Anyway, musicians and artists change their style and image to suit what is popular at the time, rather than what they want to play; the problem from my perspective isn't one of "artistic legitimacy," (not much, anyway) but rather that these bands just suck. The last I recall (faintly, anyway) Papa Roach was a bunch of nu-metal fat asses playing the same shit you could hear on those "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" records; I swear to god I saw a video of theirs on Noggin (Degrassi: TNG is another secret shame; what an awesome show!) recently in which all the band had become skinny (both in bodies and obsequious red neckties) and played some angry variant of the 80's ballad emo bullshit. THAT is what bothers me.

Nowhere is that "Let's write this song to make a fuckton of money" attitude more apparent than with Aerosmith. IMO, they would be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands OF ALL TIME if they died in a plane wreck after "Get Your Wings" was released (or was it "Toys in the Attic"? whichever came last, of course). Instead, since those fucking "Get a Grip" ballads became popular (see the cycle?), every song they write and perform is a mockery of their awesome legacy, and they become the laughing stock of the biz, just because their collective coke habit guides their career anymore, not their musical instincts (which were, in the past, fantastic).

Three years ago, everybody followed the standard set by Britney. Two years ago, everybody followed the standard set by The White Stripes; Last year, oh, fuck, I don't know who it was. It's formulaic. I don't care if Linkin Park are awesome musicians; Simon and Garfunkel had great harmony. It doesn't change the fact that I want to beat them over the head with a Buick.

Le retort finis.

EDIT: Full disclosure, I've been listening to Hank Williams Sr. for two and a half hours this morning.

There is definitely a good deal of mainstream music I like, but this is a grade A post and pretty much sums up my feelings as well. I still think good music is good music whether or not it is mainstream or based on some previously determined "formula" though. Everything is derived from something.

:applause:

[Javery]

You hit the nail on the head about Aerosmith. They are one of a few select bands where recent shitty releases have ruined their entire catalog of music for me. I can't go back and listen to any 70s Aerosmith anymore because I hate them so much. Other bands off the top of my head like this (and the album that killed them) are Live (Secret Samadhi), Limp Bizkit (Hot Dog Water) and U2 (Zooropa). Yuck.

Yep, 6 total: http://artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/more/0,,459509-1,00.html#more

Plus a greatest hits. :shock: Wouldn't that just be the first two albums on a special two-disc? :D Everybody has a greatest hits now. :roll:

[dtcarson]

Every since Amazacrazycryin', I can't listen to Aerosmith anymore.
I like lots of 70's-80's heavy metal/alternative [Ozzy, Maiden, King Diamond, PiL, Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc], and some 'hardcore' metal [Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, etc], but I don't get into the 'chainsaw rock'. Currently I've been listening to Fred [classic and deep alternative] and Fungus [punk/ska from all decades] on XM. I'm relatively open minded, I'll listen to virtually anything except modern bass-heavy chanting 'hip hop'.
But my guilty pleasure is Petula Clark. Not sure why, I used to be into oldies because that's all we could listen to at work, but she has always been one of my favorites, and one that normally surprises other people.

[mykevermin]

Someone brought up that they still love shit like Stryper; one of my favorite albums from the days I listened to that stuff (which I like to call "childhood") was "Nobody Said it Was Easy" by The Four Horsemen. I decided to look them up to see if they put out any other albums; it turns out their singer was in a coma for 4 years before dying in 1999, which was 5 years after their drummer od'd. Jesus.

No way. Do they have enough hits to make an album? Didn't they only put out like 2 CDs? I can only think of a few of their songs... does this mean that they are done too? Timberlake is living the life - no reason to go slumming with Nsync...

I bought the newest Limp Bizkit CD (the unquestionable truth), and it was suprisingly pretty good. Now that Wes is back, the opening guitar on the truth is incredible. Fred also quit saying Limp Bizkit and yeah every 2 seconds.

It'll sell, anyway.

[Z-Saber]

itspaidgasterblaster: Pretty much my thoughts exactly, though knowing all of that, I still can like some of it. Not a whole lot, but some.

mykevermin: Heh, Stryper never had such a tragic end like that because they're all Christians. Heck, the show was at a bar yet they still prayed and tossed out Bibles.

And Nsync's Pop is probably in my top ten best songs ever. I heard that some famous producer/electronic guy made that, and I want to say it was BT. Probably wrong and too lazy to use the magic of google to find out. Great song though.

Nope; I think the last shows I saw at Annie's were Motorhead, The Hookers/Eyehategod, and Amorphis. I do intend on going 10.29, as my friend's band, Pagan Holiday (strangely enough, they aren't as christian as Stryper) are playing a Halloween show.

The problem with hanging out with pagans on halloween is that you'll never know it's a holiday, they dress like that all the time. *rimshot*

JK, actually I believe halloween gets more and more popular every year in Germany and other parts of Europe, with people reconnecting to their pagan roots. I even heard one report on German TV that the amount of money spend on Halloween last year outdid Christmas revenue.

[Pancake Rabbit]

It's clear to me that no one in this topic (javeryh and that other guy) has heard a single song from the latest aerosmith cd "Honkin' on Bobo" In fact reading this is the first time you probably even knew it existed. Anyway the cd is entirely covers of old blues tunes and has a very 70s aerosmith feel to it. Unfortunately people like you guys associate Aerosmith with "Don't wanna miss a thing" and don't look into them any further. Taking bands at face value (judging them only by singles) is very stupid.

80s Aerosmith was a mix of what you gus call bad and some great songs. For every "Cryin" or "Angel" there was a "Janie's got a Gun" or a "Livin on the Edge". Sure not every Aerosmith song from this era is a classic but I take the good with the bad. 80s Aerosmith is still very good music, much better than "third eye blind".

end rant.

[mcgavin27]

DDR/In the Groove Music on my mp3 player; also Jurassic 5, that is the only hip-hop I listen to, and I normally listen to ska... so the J5 comes off as weird.

Hmm... OK. Looks like I missed that marathon. I remember laughing a lot during the episode where they showed Ashlee performing at the Orange Bowl. Nick was getting pissed at Jessica; he was trying to enjoy the game and she kept bothering him, wondering when Ashlee was going to perform. Then, Jessica was a wreck during her performance. "Oh, my gaw! They're booin' her!" :rofl:

I've listened to every single Aerosmith album in its entirety (except for the last two - Honkin' on Bobo and Just Push Play). I think 25 years worth of releases is plenty to form an opinion of a band. IMO, they completely suck. They haven't written anything inspiring or exciting in at least 15 years and that's being kind because, admittedly, I liked Pump and Permanent Vacation back in middle school before I really developed any real taste for music (you know, back when I also thought Phil Collins and Chicago were awesome). I can still have a few beers at the bar and appreciate a little Rag Doll or Dude Looks Like a Lady though so it's not all bad, I guess.

Obviously, you like them and that's totally cool - music means different things to different people and I'm sure you would have a similar opinion about a lot of bands I like (Third Eye Blind). Even so, I'm still reasonably certain that Aerosmith is the worst band in the history of the universe that has been around for 25+ years. I'm probably just pissed because they really were great back in the 70s and they are just so awful now. Knowing that "Get a Grip" exists is almost unbearable. Liv Tyler is hot though so that's got to count for something, right?

Yeah, I don't know how Daft Punk can be shameful. 'One More Time' is great. I suppose my 'secret shame' would be the cheesy 80's 'pop' music. Refer to the Avatar. :D

[Matarick]

Kylie Minouge even though I did not enjoy her portray of Cammy White in the Street Fighter Movie. She needed to act more mysterious and silent dammit.

So you enjoyed the rest of Street Fighter: The Movie? That belongs in this thread more than Kylie Minogue's music.

Speaking of which, she was just kind "eh" until she did a live performance of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" using a mix of New Order's "Blue Monday" underneath it. Wow....

Well her betrayal of Cammy was one of the small quips to the horible Street Fighter Movie because Ryu and Ken weren't martial artists (Ryu wearing a business suit WTShaqfu), Guile was Belgium, Chunli should of been an interpol agent not a stereoytpical news reporter, Barlog was a good guy and not a Shadowloo operative, M. Bison was some skinny ass Latin Dictator (he is Thai dammit), Daslim was a scientist, Blanka's name is JIMMY, and Charlie should of been dead.

I couldn't stand the butchery of the Street Fighter mythos and thank goodness that there was the film from Japan. Now that kicked ass. I understand that hollywood muvies are trying to appeal from teenagers to senior citizens (my grandparents saw that film in a Florida theater once and they didn't mind it) but dang, the Street Fighter world has a decent enough plot to try to be faithful. This alone has scared me from seeing any Capcom adapted live action film (cough Resident Evil).

I just hope somebody animates the Udon comics.

I was just trying to make the Kylie Minouge thing relevant for those who don't know about her musical *talents*. She's more of a performer than anything else ;)

I went for a run this morning listening to Third Eye Blind and I thought of this thread. I still love them...

but then again, i love opera and would probably qualify that as a shame around other straight men.

i also love musicals and used to know all the words to Singin in the Rain... and South Pacific...

[encendido5]

I dare any one of you to top this one... I watched Yanni at the Acropolis way back when I was in Jr. High or High School, don't remember which, and I liked it. I went out and bought the cd and listened to it pretty frequently. I haven't put it in the cd player in a couple of years, but I'm sure I wouldn't mind listening to it even today. Probably why I like the Gessing Game House Theme on the Zelda Sound and Drama cd, both very similar.

[Pookymeister]

Duncan Sheik, yo

[mykevermin]

my secret shame is probably mr. t experience.

Why's that a secret shame? A pop-punk band from 1994 that probably qualifies as "old school" next to the wrist-cutting horseshit the kids listen to today? Hell, you're officially "back in the day," 'sfar as I'm concerned.

but then again, i love opera and would probably qualify that as a shame around other straight men.

And they like Evanescence. You're even.

i also love musicals and used to know all the words to Singin in the Rain... and South Pacific...

YOU NO SAXY LIKE LIEUTELLAN!

Sorry, had to say it. My favorite line outside of "There Ain't Nothin' in the World Like a Dame."

4: Dropkick Murphys
5: Eyehategod
6: Amorphis
...and Imperial Leather in the tape deck.

I'm not particularly ashamed of any of those choices, except perhaps #4. Those guys material since Al Barr joined up is, lamentably (considering how awesome The Bruisers were) pitiful.

I *AM* secretly an npr fan. I'll turn off a song in the middle of a jam to hear a fifteen minute npr piece about secret aborigine Lithuanian breakdancing rituals. And I'll love every second of it.

[Sleepkyng]

NPR for life! I remember listening to Car Talk as a kid with my dad - fuckin loved that show.

And the only time i've been injured at a concert was a Dropkick Murphy's concert - stupid fat punk was crowd surfing and landed a boot right on my forehead!

[senorwoohoo]

I guess mine would have to be Ludacris. He doesn't fit into the kind of hip-hop I listen to, but I listen to his crazy shit anyway.

[mykevermin]

stupid fat punk

redundant.

I stopped doing shit like that after my first adolescent experience with 'spirits,' wherein I drank a fifth of Gordon's Orange Vodka in 20-25 minutes. I don't remember fuck-all of the show, except for jumping into the crowd from a trampoline (!) on the stage, and landing on my head.

As they say in the god-fearing part of the country, "That'll learn ya!"

[jezebelseven]

I'm not shameful about any of my music, but people seem to think it odd that I listen to and enjoy Aqua. You know. I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world, and all. I guess it's fairly different to the indie/britrock/etc I tend to stick with.

[mcgavin27]

I love the song age of aquarius.
the entire thriller album from our favorite child molestor and Earth wind and fire.

[Sleepkyng]

ain't nothin wrong with original MJ - but shit don't compare to stevie wonder, s'all im sayin.

Woo hoo!!!!! I just scored Third Eye Blind tickets for me and the mrs. for October 26 on Long Island!!!!! I can't believe I'm actually going to see my secret shame in concert!!! :rofl:

I have a Third Eye Blind shirt that says STAFF on the back.
Got to be a 1-day roadie for them like 5 years ago. They played at Bryn Mawr College and I happened to be friends with the senior president and VP there. Wasn't a big fan of them, but was fun.

[Sk8erlink7]

I too am a Third Eye Blind fan, although I don't keep it hidden.

My (somewhat) secret shame is my love for cheesy '80s music, or just all '80s music alike. Tears for Fears, Spandau Ballet, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Simple Minds, etc. I don't know why, but it's just fun to listen to.

[Javery]

The concert was terrible. They are definitely a "studio" band and need the slick production to sound good. Also, who the eff do they think they are making everyone wait until 9:30 to start playing? Guns-n-Roses? Plus, they played a bunch of new stuff that no one cared about. I'm glad I went just to say I went but I won't be seeing them again.

They're not known for being a good live band.

[SneakyPenguin]

I'm not ashamed of any of my music (or the stuff that isn't even music). I like it, that's good enough for me, and everyone that doesn't can shut up or go fuck themselves.

I can't even believe they're still touring. Were you the only person at the concert or something?

[Javery]

It was packed, surprisingly. It was at a bar though so the place wasn't huge or anything but I bet it held around 300 people - it was kind of like the 9:30 Club but without the balcony area.

[Kendro]

WTF? This band still exists?

Oddly enough, I found this thread after doing a search for "Radiohead." Imagine my surprise when I don't find one thread about Radiohead and instead find a thread dedicated to Third Eye Blind with 175 replies.

[Jkmetal]

i'll admit it, my sisters btvs once more with feeling soundtrack.
besides that, i'll openly admit to listening to anything.

[mcgavin27]

my chemical romance sadly enough.

Yeah, but that's not a surprise when someone's throwing a "FOBCON" to trick "the emos".

[ReaperZER0]

Maroon 5. Also Michelle Branch and the Corrs. Every once in a while I find that pop music does exactly what I want it to do, make me happier.

[RyanTheGNR]

My secret shame is when i keep telling my friends that "Chinese Democracy is coming this year ZOMG!" so in response, i then get laughed at and then my friends change the topic.
Thats about it, flame me if you want..lol.

Oh lol..
I didnt know there was a band named Cursive.Ok, ill check that out then.

[Sir_Fragalot]

Musically- Elton John (his more rockish hits), Jim Croce, and Supertramp, and a lot of progressive rock bands that no one has heard of, lol. Actually though I pretty much listen to everything from about 1965-1995 with a guitar in it as long as it is not pop, lol so it is hard for me to find secret shames as my finetune playlist demostrates.

http://www.finetune.com/user/sir_fragalot

I also play the World of Warcraft trading card game.

[browneyedgal68]

God I love Saved By The Bell. I've probably seen every episode at least 3 times.

You know the college years? The gal named (I think) Leslie, she was the tall blond? I went to grade school with her. She's actually as nice as she was on the show, maybe even moreso.

[zman73]

Mothing wrong with 3rd Eye Blind... the first album of theirs had alot of pretty good songs on it, Ive already seen them in concert myself,,, they were OK... but their lead singer doesnt have the strongest of concert voices (similar to when I saw Motley Crue yesrs ago) and cuts corners vocally later into the concert

To think at the time they were big... he was tappin him some Charlize Theron ass...


as for my secret shame... cheezy 70's music, grew up on the stuff, and I love it... was suprised to admit I liked alot of the songs listed in VH-1's 40 most softsational soft rock songs... I can be at home listening to that, then I can instantly switch over to some hard rock... I have very varied tastes in music

oh yeah, I also like Saved by the Bell as well... have all the seasons of the show on dvd and have watched over the college years episodes over and over... the episode with Slater and Zacks fight makes me bust a gut every toime I watch it

[Kendro]

Maroon 5. Also Michelle Branch and the Corrs. Every once in a while I find that pop music does exactly what I want it to do, make me happier.
The Corrs are definitely my guilty pleasure as well. Check this album out if you haven't already, it is what got me into them.

Heh. Saved by the Bell is what drove me never to use caffeine pills. I'm so excited! I'm so...scared.

I already like you already :lol:

Also Third Eye Blind ain't bad either. I have 3 of their albums

[gregthomas77]

Fall out boy

[tehweezner]

Third Eye Blind's debut self-titled album is great so no shame there

I like several Avril Lavigne songs including Girlfriend :-#

[senorwoohoo]

Hmm, I think I've already said this but Ludacris.

For me it was Talk On Corners, MTV did a little throwaway piece on them for a "You Hear It First", I think. This is back when I was watching them, and I thought the girls looked hot so I checked it out. Then I got "In Blue" for winning some strange contest back then. Strange that I still like them though.

[Y2J850]

hmm ... here it goes .."female singers in the 90's" ..Alanis Morissette,Jewel, Natalie Merchant,Sheryl Crow,No Doubt all had alot of good songs, and then some of the one hit wonders Lisa Loeb,Joan Osborne, Natalie Imbruglia,Cardigans,Meredith Brooks and so on...

I think my liking of them still is the nostalgia factor of the songs I listened to when I was younger(I'm 21 now so I figure i was 10-13 when i heard alot of these songs) And the fact that most 'female' artists now in the post Britney era are for the most part worthless and suck and like 15. ( i suppose Michelle Branch isn't to bad)

And I generally listen to rock music such as System of a Down, Godsmack, Inflames, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Coheed and Cambria, Rage against the Machine and Symphony X

[FrankySox]

No Third Eye Blind is not your secret shame. See for it to be a secret you can't tell anyone. Since you have told us you have shamed yourself. If you don't tell anyone about this, from this point foward your new secret shame can be your willingness to admit your secret shame.

[Javery]

Well I've finally had time to digest Ursa Major (the new 3EB album - first since 2003) and it is awesome. Those bastards sure know how to write a catchy pop song. I'm hoping that the rumored Ursa Minor album comes out next year like planned and isn't delayed like this album was...

[crunchb3rry]

I like Dawson's Creek. There, beat that!

[ajh2298]

I was a big secret fan of the band "Nickel Creek" they are like alternative country band.

Off topic, but I fuckin' *love* the picture in your sig.

[asaraa]

I think Semi-Charmed Life is on GH:Van Halen. I was playing it on one of the GH's the other day.

I actually saw Third Eye Blind in '97 (they opened for U2 in Montreal)

[voidedx]

Ashley Tisdale's new album freakin' rocks. However, she's picking the worst songs to promote. I gotta see her in concert. (Her first album was total crap.)

78Violet's "The Next Worst Thing" is my favorite song right now especially since I found a high quality rip where you can hear the back-up vocals and wind effects. I don't know how anyone could not like this song.

I have gotten back into Failure. Especially their Fantastic Planet album. I bought it back in the 90's and listened to it several times. But just now do I fully appreciate the songs. The reason why I got back in to them was one of the New Moon trailers sounded like a rip off of "Stuck on You".

I love Paramore, but their newest album was highly disappointing. Only two great songs and the rest should be dumped in a bucket. With Riot!, almost all the songs were great.

I only just yesterday discovered that Paramore did a Failure "Stuck on You" cover. That's awesome. Plus discovered Failure did an "Enjoy the Silence" cover. Lovin' them.

[voidedx]

I think Semi-Charmed Life is on GH:Van Halen. I was playing it on one of the GH's the other day.

I got GH: Van Halen from the GH5 promotion in the mail. I couldn't freakin' believe it. A non-retail box. Just a slipcover with a URL to download the PDF instructions. Fuck! I live for retail box 360 games. I feel really misled/ripped off as superficial as it sounds.

Even for games that I have two copies of for local co-op, I like having the second retail box.

[senorwoohoo]

Drake.

Not really a secret shame, per se, but I'm ashamed. :lol:

[Filler2001]

Third Eye Blind is one of the best 90s pop bands.

That said, my 2 secret shames are the first Fall Out Boy album (It reminded me of old Green Day) and Barenaked Ladies. In fact, my last FM has BNL in like 3rd place

Failure is fucking awesome. One of my favorite bands ever. Ken Andrews is the man.

[jngx80]

Loved their video for Deep Inside of You. I don't know if it's just me but it was damn sexy. Models with long legs and short shorts roller skating. And I thought the sexiest part was when they lip synched and sang along with the words.

[Halo05]

Holy shit, I knew this thread was old when I saw Zen Davis in here.

No time to write but...

30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie is a great album. At least the first half. It falls off after about track 5 or 6. My 15 year old self would kill my 30 year old self for admitting such things.

You might be surprised when your 35 year old self decides that your 15 year old self was on to something. From 25 to about 33 I didn't listen to anything (other than maybe a few bands here and there *coughpearljamcough*) that I liked when I was in my late teens/early 20s. I can't even explain why. Now I can't get enough Zeppelin, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Beatles, etc. I'm even listening to old Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, etc. from time to time. I think you really do reach a point where you think 99% of new music sucks.

[dastly75]

I can't think any of secret shames but I do avoid listening to Fall Out Boy, The Rocket Summer, Metro Station, or A Day Away around my friends.

[snakelda]

iCarly.

[Javery]

iCarly.

oooohhhh good one... I LOVE that show. It's the new Saved By The Bell (although nothing could ever top that awesomeness).

[Halo05]

iCarly is funny as hell. The girl who plays Sam has genuinely good comic timing. Same with Spencer. My fiancee looks like Carly might in her late 20s.

[Chairman_LMAO]

Saved by the Bell: The College Years. I can't stand the original show, but I love TCY.

[XxFuRy2Xx]

Jeebus, put me in for iCarly. I used to make fun of my nephews and nieces for watching it, but now I can't stop. Hell, I'll even watch re-runs. Now that I have roommates, I have to play it off as if I'm using my computer rather than watching the show, lol.

Also, as I'm sure many others have posted in here, JPOP. Ugh...

[Javery]

Has anyone heard the new Third Eye Blind songs in Rock Band? Anyone know if they are available in .mp3 format?

[goomba478]

I don't see anything wrong with Third Eye Blind either. I bought all their albums and love their music.

My Secret Shame would have to be that I like a few Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus songs. I know....I know....

[VertigoMotel]

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, you could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in!!!!

[n8rockerasu]

I'll say Third Eye Blind has great songs and one hell of a recording engineer. But Stephan Jenkins should be taken behind a wood shed and beaten severely if he ever tries to sing live again. Actually...the way he sings...it sounds like someone already did that to him.

Agreed. They were TERRIBLE when I saw them live but they are magical in the studio.

[gargus]

Secret shame? I guess I dont understand that term or guilty pleasure.

If you like something then why be ashamed of it? I mean I think hudson hawk is a funny and entertaining movie but Im about the only person that will admit it and I dont feel like its a secret shame to like the movie.

I like some of 3rd eye blinds songs also, dont care for alot of their stuff but they have some good tunes.

[Rodimus]

Lady Gaga's Poker Face song. :oops:

Also Linkin Park. It's a love/hate thing.
