Songs You're Embarrassed to Admit Liking (1 Viewer)

[Kenny Powers]

Im sure there are quite a few, but I heard a couple on the radio this week, and the movie thread of this ilk inspired me to embarrass myself here. So, to start this off:

The Cranberries - Dreams

Edwin McCain - I'll Be

...and probably the winner since its from the awful Nic Cage and Meg Ryan romance fantasy...

The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

 

[MAC_32]

Dreams is solid.

You're right to be emarrassed about the other two though.

 

[AAABatteries]

My Link

 

[bostonfred]

Since you've been gone

I think were alone now

Dancing in the dark (tegan and sara version)

That I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet song

 

[shuke]

Since you've been gone

By Rainbow? Awesome song, why would you be embarrassed?

 

[shuke]

Used to hate this song. Then secretly liked. Now love it, but not sure if I should be embarrassed.

[timschochet]

Oh man, there's so many. But how about "Safety Dance" for starters?

I heard Safety Dance a week or so ago.

I was actually thinking My Morning Jacket could do a nice encore with it

 

[poopdawg]

Toto - Africa

Although Toto is one of my favorite bands. I'm not embarassed to admit that. Metallica and Slayer are my tops, so I guess I'm pretty diverse.

 

[mad sweeney]

Lose Somebody - KoL

Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind.

When We Were Young - Killers

I actually have a Guilty Pleasures playlist

 

[rockaction]

Anything by Marcy Playground, Bush, or Better Than Ezra. Any 90's crossover ska. And as I get older, I find myself listening to way too much 95.7 KISS FM, which sounds exactly like its call letters.

 

[Aerial Assault]

"Africa??" I love it. What's not to like, or be embarrassed about?

I guess mine would be "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus or whatever Kenny G's big hit was called; I liked it.

Whats wrong with liking Bush?! I still give Sixteen Stone a listen every now and then. I only know the 2-3 singles Better Than Ezra had, and Sex and Candy from Marcy Playground, but I dont see anything embarrassing with those either.

 

[Spock]

True ~ Spandau Ballet

 

[Tiger Fan]

the entire Deluxe album by better than ezra is very solid if you like pop rock

The Bush songs are in rotation on my carpod for a long time. Plus they're fun to play along to.

 

[Gianni Verscotchie]

I live for the Applause-plause

 

[The General]

Umbrella - Rihanna

Poker Face - Lady Gaga

I haven't bought music in over 10 years and I prefer the sound of a female singer. I don't listen to much music at all anymore, but when I do it, it ends up being whatever teenybopper is on the pop station. I normally like what I hear.

If I could remember the names of these songs, I assume I could win this thread.

 

[shuke]

Umbrella - Rihanna

Rihanna - Diamonds

 

[shadyridr]

Every rihanna song

Lady gaga- applause

Selena gomez- slow down

Ellie goulding- burn

 

[Quint]

Kajagoogoo - "Too Shy"

Kei$ha - "Tik Tok"

 

[rockaction]

Love Dedication Song by Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon. Love the Smugglers's (punk, B.C., no link to be found) version even more.

 

[zamboni]

Same as the last 15 or so of these threads we've done - not embarrassed about any song I like.

As for "Africa", I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed about it. In fact, the pizza place cover version by Mike Masse/Jeff Hall has brought new appreciation for the tune.

That's what half of the comments say below in the clip. Definitely a look-alike, but man Masse has got some pipes.

He sure does. I found their version of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and it is quite impressive (except for the moron walking in front of the camera) Does this pizza joint hold 10 people because it seems tiny

Not sure, but by the muted applause after Africa, seems like it's a hole in the wall. Bunch of wazoos in there/walking by that don't realize they are in the midst of greatness.

Speaking of female singers, I'm a sucker for those techno/trance songs where some producer hires a chick to do vocals over the top of his music.

 

[FUBAR]

Edwin McCain - I'll Be

That was our wedding (first dance) song. I've grown to hate it. Not sure what that says about our marriage.

 

[FUBAR]

Not embarrassed to like Neil Diamond, but that his greatest hits 1 and 2 are on my run-list is slightly embarrassing.

I like just about every song by P!nk. the Cure is still on my Pandora favorites mix.

Rihanna paired with just about anyone is awesome.
