 Topic: Confession

I went to the beach today (my 15-month-old's first time ever- he absolutely loved it), and I got the idea for this topic:
Here is a non-prog "confessional," so to speak. This is where you tell everyone of a band or song you should be ashamed you like. I mean the hold-your-head-down-and-change-your-name kind of shame. The kind of music most everyone here would laugh derisively at you for (but we won't- promise!).
(David Gilmour's On an Island always makes me want to be near the shore, by the way)
So let the confessions begin!

Umm, I think there are already threads on this (but they might be locked due to being ancient). Umm, I listen to heaps of non prog, flame me  Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Sonic Youth, , Drive Like Jehu (The last band is considered "Emo" bands, despite being equal parts math rock/post punk/post hardcore... trust me, I hate today's so called "emo" pop punk like everyone else here, but I can dig the early incarnations of emo that was a lot less commercial sounding). Jeff Buckley, still one of my favorites too. Can't think of anymore right now.

Well, that's easy, Michael Jackson is one of my favourite artists.

With 310 pages of threads in the General music section, I'm certain this has probably been done before.  Plus, even though I'm expert searcher on Google, I have a tough time located threads I posted in using the search feature here.

I love to go to punk and ska shows. They're a lot of fun. Micheal Jackson is really good IMO. I love Prince too. I can dig a good amount of hip hop. ... I guess that's enough for now.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

That reminds me.
Yah, I like punk in general, although mainly particular sub genres.
Post Hardcore, Emo (of the early variety that was heavily influenced by Hardcore and Post Hardcore) and Post Punk.
Generally, I dislike bands like the Sex Pistols, The Ramones and all the extremely simple bands (although I have respect for what they did for helping to push other genres forward, like thrash metal for example).

Prince is a friggin genius so that doesn't count.
Culture Club counts though.  I was dark, it was young. Something like that. |

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Okay, okay. Boston is one of my favorite bands, and how could a prog-lover at least not enjoy them? Those Hammond B-3 solos? Excellently crafted guitar parts? Brad Delp (RIP)?
I mean embarrassing to the nth degree. Want my secrets? Here you go, with all the shame that goes with it!
Ace of Base. Yeah, that Swedish dance group that sang, "I saw the sign, and it opened up my mind, I saw the sign." I started listening to them in the 6th grade based on a recommendation from friend (I no longer know that friend, but damn him, his legacy of catchy pop remains).
The first CD I ever bought was The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: Greatest Hits. To me now, they are to county what progressive rock is to rock (if you listen to a generous portion of their discography). But hell, give me their rendition of "Mr. Bojangles" any day over "Roundabout." 
I also enjoy Amy Winehouse. Yeah, they tried to make me go to rehab too. I said no, no, no.
I'm going to get back to you later. There's heaps of embarassing stuff I listen to. I will probably be banned before I can disclose it all.

What's embarrassing is that I, the English teacher, didn't get to edit my typo before you quoted me.

This has been done before, but just so no one forgets, I'm a big Euro-synth-pop fan, going all the way back to Mouth & MacNeil. ABBA, Human League, you name it, I love it. Hey, it's harmless fun.
