Anyone go through some embarrassing music phases? Anyone growing up in the seventies could not have avoided Kiss. I went through a very brief Kiss phase before I discovered King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black. That album changed my whole perspective of music. Then it was on to Gentle Giant and others. I also went through a Glenn Miller Orchestra phase because of my dad. It wasn't really a bad thing but the Kiss phase was a really horrible era. How could I have listened crap like 100,000 Years and Strutter over and over again?

Nope, I'm not ashamed of any of the music that I have liked. My tastes have expanded as I've gotten to know a lot more music, but essentially really aren't that different from any other time in my life. I guess I haven't evolved much.

The song that got me into music was Europe's The Final Countdown *cringes indefinitely*

I listened to "The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" for a year or two in the early 80s, more out of desperation to find concerts to go to in addition to goth and punk.

From an early age, I was introduced to Beatles music so that's good right? However, like a lot of kids, I mainly listened to a lot of top 40 radio stuff. This was in the 70s primarily. It wasn't until my family moved to a new town in 1979 when things changed. My new neighbors were huge into Rush and it grew on me pretty quickly. That started me down a Rock phase that never has ended.
I've often wondered if we hadn't moved, would I have still been listening to top 40 fluff. |

There are things I don't listen to anymore. But being embarrassed by them would be silly.

Not really. Even in really early days of listening to music I never cared much for top 40 esque stuff.

I go through music phases all the time, but the moment I'm getting sick of music and tend to not listen to anything at all.
You name a genre and I've listened to it at some point, there isn't anything to be ashamed with the music you like

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

A-ha and the whole synth pop thing. I was addicted.
Embarrassed? No. I regret nothing. It was what it was, which was good, simple, incredibly tacky fun.

I'm currently in a prog metal phase again but I'm also composing electroacoustic (classical) music too

I have been embarrassed in the past, but look back now and appreciate the various aspects of the different kinds of music I liked when I was younger - I never listened to rock or pop until I was in 7th grade - we moved from Boston to Tokyo, first thing I listened to was military radio with a lot of programmed stuff - Wolfman Jack, Charlie Tuna & Casey Casum are what I remember. I got some of the pop fluff of the day but also got an education in the roots of rock music from the Wolfman for which I am very appreciative. Then a few months later I got heavily into the Beatles! Also grateful for that. Then a year later: metal - Sabbath, Priest, Maiden - my first concert was Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour in 1983. I could be embarrassed by that, but later on I realized how amazing the production is on that album and actually still like them a lot.
I even liked Kiss! The only thing I'm embarrassed about there is how juvenile and sexist their lyrics are, but I guess I'm glad that I grew out of it! The music rocks! Interesting how the move spurred on changes in taste - when I moved back to the States for college I got into the Grateful Dead and Phish and bands of that ilk, also something I'm not at all embarrassed about - I'm seeing Dead & Company the next two nights at Shoreline. Not even embarrassed about appreciating John Mayer! |

There's one band that, generally, takes a lot of 'balls' to admit to liking ; Kajagoogoo - my favourite synth-pop band from of all time (next to Buggles). Great music and great playing is what it is.

I still enjoy almost everything I have ever listened to, with the exception of some euro dance groups like Mr. President and Captain Jack for whom I had a short lived infatuation around second or third grade.
It was fun to listen to Mr. President's We See The Same Sun again a few years ago and note that the only song I couldn't stand back then was the only listenable song now. But of course there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
