Well.....I usually don't play my music for anyone other than my friends who are into good music to begin with so I have never been embarrassed per se. But I did try to turn my son-in-law onto some prog bands a while back and he simply didn't get or like Jethro Tull at all which left me a little perplexed and disappointed.

I have Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's and Mystery Tour, (and Abbey Road and Hey Jude on cassette tapes) and that's more than enough, but I wouldn't be embarrassed by it. I'm embarrassed I have NEVER heard the White Album before.............


All bought by my wife....Red and Blue album also Sgt Pepper. I've never played them in full, she thought they would be worth a lot of money. LOL
I'm not embarrassed I have not heard any on purpose....I have better things to do, like watch grass grow in the desert or better yet watch my phone recharge on my desk. ClapLOL

my friends know I listen to all sorts of music, they don't care, and I have often been the person they get to listen some new music. When I have a gathering at my place, I will definitely play something that up their alley.

I don't often play Zappa in the house when there's other people around - hearing "ram it up your poop chute" coming from the speakers can be a tad embarrassing.
VdGG is another one I don't play much as my wife normally says "what the hell is that you're playing now?" when it comes on.

Speaking of Broken Hearts are for a*******, once in math class I was about to listen to Sheik Yerbouti cause I was bored. But then a pretty and sweet girl came and sat with me, and knowing some of the songs on that album and that I knew she would ask me what I'm listening to, I turned it off just in time.

^^ Now that you mention it, it was embarrasing when I played some songs for other friends and it had strange or dirty lyrics, but I never noticed before since I generally don't pay attention to lyrics. I don't remember which ones, so it will probably happen again someday Tongue I do recall some strange reactions to Mike Oldfield's Punkadiddle LOL
