| 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. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

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. ------------- "There is nothing new except what has been forgotten" - Marie Antoinette |

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.  ------------- We all live in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

| 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. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

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.

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. ------------- [Hyperreflective paradigm breaking profundity goes here] |

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. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!
