bands you're embarassed for liking

[robot]

I'm sure this has been done before, but you know what, screw the search function.

[EightMilesHigh]

Atreyu.

[Kayetan]

Wham!

[Sam]

The Strokes. But not really, seeing as I only have one album.

[Tsuruka]

None.

Well, I get kinda scared when I say that I like White Snake.

[Zappa]

None I can think of.

[Sonic_Reducer]

helloween

[Ibanez Slayer]

im embarressed that i ever liked green day
and i hate them now

[Happymeal]

No one in particular. But I do appreciate sappy tunes more than some.

[robot]

I'm embarassed for owning Bloc Party's record. I really don't like it.

[Electrocution]

I have that Killers CD.

[Sound Boy]

Tegan and Sarah
John Mayer
Simple Plan
Twisted Sister

[RollerQueen]

John Mayer
AFI
Morris Day & The Time

[(Hail to the thief)]

i still like green day
i still like bloc party
i still like franz ferdinand


and i think beverly hills is fun.

[Luxor]

None, why be embarassed about it?

[I'll Take The Veil]

If you like something then why be embarassed about it? I proudly own Is this it? by the Strokes, and Deja Entendu by Brand New.

[rbv]

I like all the bands I like.

I mean like old green day is good.
Coheed & Cambria is pretty catchy

The closest thing is probably Kelly Clarkson and she's really good.

[ToolBox]

The Smiths, no one gets it here...

[Jawaharal]

I bought a chevelle CD once :upset:

[morrissey]

I'm not embarrased about any of my favourite bands, and can poke fun at myself for liking them but at the end of the day, I like it. No need to pretend I don't.

[biografiend]

I enjoy alot of cheezy 80's music, and will sometimes sing My Chemical Romance songs.

[rbv]

Glassjaw
I personally think they're an excellent poppypunky band, no shame there.

And if FOB or MCR comes on and I'm forced to listen to it it gets stuck in my head for a while because that's what they are made for.

[Zmev]

Coldplay, it seems that way somtimes.

[cap]

On this board? Babyshambles and The Libertines.

I shouldn't like The Strokes but I do.

[RollerQueen]

Glassjaw's one album is good.

[twistinside]

backstreet boys.

(seriously)

[rbv]

backstreet boys.

(seriously)
I grew up on the backstreet boys and their new singles are pretty good.

[twistinside]

yeah i like a couple songs off the new album, my brother has it.

[asymm]

The first one is great.
It is! Point #1 is great! I saw them get interviewed on MTV2 advertising their first video and I then proceeded to try and find the record. I need to pull that one out again...

[Zesty Mordant]

to me glassjaw is anything but mainstream, most people i know hate the band 'cause they're "too weird".

I'm not particularly embarrassed by any of my music but if I have to, I'd say:
The Used (the debut)
Dashboard Confessional
Dave Matthews (& Tim Reynolds)
Bloodhound Gang (Jimmy Pop is probably one of the best lyricists around)

[Riziger]

haha i'll probably get flamed for this:

Linkin Park

[JxB]

ehh i like maroon 5
and hoobUstank

[Clunge]

Papa Roach rock my soxs.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Nobody. My taste in music works for me.

[Syd Barret]

I like linkin park ... I think their two studio albums are great

but no-one shares my opinion :upset:

[Ibanez Slayer]

The first one is great.
HEY NACHO

[rbv]

Papa Roach rock my soxs.
They're frickin repetitive. I listened to their new song and they repeated that gay little chorus of their's for like 5 times :angry:

[Sep]

Glassjaw's one album is good.

Which one?

[Ibanez Slayer]

i used to be the biggest wigger ever in 5th grade if that counts
and if i met myself, then i'd strangle him

[toxicmudd]

well i hate linkin park and own both their albums. And the new green day album. and simple plan. dear god im a ****ing loser
i actually only like half the music i own
am i wierd?

[Ibanez Slayer]

well i hate linkin park and own both their albums. And the new green day album. and simple plan. dear god im a ****ing loser
i actually only like half the music i own
am i wierd?
yes, yes you are

[Eoghan]

The Kaiser Chiefs, although the album was weak, they have had some great catchy singles. And why be embarassed of liking the Libertines, they have released two of the best albums this side of the millenium, imo anyway.

[Coke Bottle]

If I'm not embarrassed for liking Girls Aloud and Sugababes, I'm not going to be embarrassed for liking any guitar bands.

[Bad Blood]

I like the Kaiser Chiefs, and i know they're not A/I but Bowling for Soup ! :eek:

[RollerQueen]

Which one?

Worship & Tribute. The one before that is too heavy on the misogynist imagery.

[asdf]

Muse, although it's not that bad.
Mindless Self Indulgence
Marylin Manson (I did slightly for a very brief time. He doesn't bother me)
Against Me! (other than don't loose touch, which is a terrible song, I really like this band)

All the ska music I listen to is pretty embarrassing too. It's so fun, and I have such a great time at the concerts, I can't help but like it.

[Sam]

I have around 20 CDs in a pile that I no longer want. I can't find anyone to buy them from me.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I have around 20 CDs in a pile that I no longer want. I can't find anyone to buy them from me.

Me too.
There are some REALLY bad ones in that pile.

[YDload]

these are bands that people in Alt/Indie tend not to like (but some do of course) and I enjoy anyway:

Iron Maiden
Metallica
System of a Down
Tool
The Mars Volta
Mudvayne (first album)
Primus
Coheed and Cambria

and I have every Green Day album from Kerplunk! to Nimrod (that's four). :( :( :(

[RollerQueen]

Iron Maiden rocks, Metallica rocked until the 90's, TMV is mostly teh thexay, and Coheed rocks fifteen times (as "Godsend Conspirator" plays in my room).

[Knives08]

Er, The Strokes and Weezer.

[I'll Take The Veil]

Should I be embarassed for at one point in my life owning every Blink 182 album, a simple plan, sum 41, and eiffel whatever cd. Oh and my musical taste has evolved quite a bit in two years. Going from bands like Blink 182 and Sum 41 to now listening to bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bear Vs. Shark and The Mars Volta

[Tangy zizzle]

My Chemical Romance

[Tangy zizzle]

Hahahahahahahaha, yes.

They're too damm catchy and really, they aren't that emo.

[YDload]

Hahahahahahahaha, yes.

They're too damm catchy and really, they aren't that emo.

they're not emo at all, they're just pop-punk.

i dont really like them but i can tell they're not the worst offenders. they have a song with a guitar solo in it!

[Tangy zizzle]

I don't have albums or anything, I just don't mind the singles.

[Zesty Mordant]

the guitarists can really pull of some cool Brian May licks.

[metallica69]

Linkon park used to be mine, but now I dont like them.

[YDload]

Linkon park used to be mine, but now I dont like them.

you'll have something to be embarassed about soon "metallica69"

[Jawaharal]

I don't really listen to anything embarassing

[morrissey]

That one MCR video that rips off Saving Private Ryan, I like the song. It's the only one I've heard though. Based on that song alone I don't get all the hate. :confused:

[Tangy zizzle]

I wanna punch the singer though, he looks like a dork. The lead axe-man has some badarse hair.

[pika122689]

My Chemical Romance... and yes... The Killers. *runs*

[EightMilesHigh]

Pfft, who cares if they're not indie? Not everything you listen to has to fit under that.

you'll have something to be embarassed about soon "metallica69"

Watch out, he's cooler than you :eek:

[YDload]

Pfft, who cares if they're not indie? Not everything you listen to has to fit under that.

it's not that, but lots of people rag on them in any forum, so I'm not so much embarassed to like them but I do have to defend them a lot.

[DomtarOpaque]

they're not emo at all, they're just pop-punk.

i dont really like them but i can tell they're not the worst offenders. they have a song with a guitar solo in it!
2 songs, im not OK, and To the End. both are pretty cool solos...

alot of Emo(trophy scars and the like) and Faux-Emo(MCR, The Used)
(yeah, theres alot of emo hate with my friends)
and alot of Nu-Metal(linkin park, breakign benjamin)
Chevelle
some Creed
and KoRn(fits back in numetal but i really like them)

i laughed when i read that. thats such an awesome list of bands!

also, why does eveyone say C&C? is it just his voice, cause the band is VERY talented

EDIT: sry i fogrot to exclude green day, i dont like em

[Astroboy]

Ahem.

Foo Fighters.

There. I said it.

The Colour and the Shape was okay, I guess. But I'm embarassed because of the crap that they've put out since then. Really.

[homeonice]

I only get embaressed when someone asks what i like, someone who likes simple plan or some other emo crap... And i reply with Neutral Milk Hotel or Arcade Fire. Theyre like; wha wha wha! whats that, neutral mobile , fire ? what... \

Actually; sometimes when i like a record, and then i hear it with someone else listening - everything changes. Like with the fiery furnaces - when i har it alone its amazing. but with other peoples it sucks...

[Dave de Sylvia]

someone who likes simple plan or some other emo crap...
Cool, Simple Plan are are a hardcore band now!?

[Interstate]

I'm not really embarassed about any of the bands I listen to.

[radianteclipse]

I am not really embarassed by anything I own, because I will usually let people know anyways. I'm not really ashamed. I own both Michelle Branch records, a Natalie Imbruglia album, and I do have the Gwen Stefani album...though I don't really enjoy it much.

[corporalclegg]

If I listened to Weezer, I'd be embarassed.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

also, why does eveyone say C&C? is it just his voice, cause the band is VERY talented

He lost the 'knife to the groin' factor a lot on the new album [Burning Star IV].

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

Old GC...Festival Song is a good one i dont care who you are. lol.
Click 5- they are so **** catchy
Kanye West- im black and i love him, but i hate most rap
Should i be embarresed for liking Trapt a little bit?

[rbv]

Oh yeah I like a bit of Dashboard Confessional. Pretty catchy pop songs.

[EightMilesHigh]

Oh yeah I like a bit of Dashboard Confessional. Pretty catchy pop songs.

lol u liek emo go listen 2 my kemikal romance and taking bak sundae cuz dey r emo 2.






Sorry :upset:

[morrissey]

I like Dashboard, I own all of his (their) albums. I like the first TBS album. I like the one MCR song I've heard.

what what

[G-Un0t]

Fall Out Boy
Rap in general.
I liked that MCR video with the war scene, and the song was mediocre. All I've heard of them I think.

[EonBlueApcolyps]

Marylin Manson
Finch (a little)
Coheed and Cambria

[YDload]

Judging from your name and the other posts you've made, I'd say you have the worst taste of any black person. Or at least the most baffling.

[morrissey]

Taking Back Sunday is my least favorite band in the world*, good job



*except for one song :o
And what one song would that be

REM is my least favourite band in the world so whatever

[YDload]

And what one song would that be

REM is my least favourite band in the world so whatever

oh sure you'll listen to stupid 80's college rock music with a gay BRITISH frontman but as soon as someone from Athens, Georgia shows up with the same idea you're like "nuh-uh you get outta here Michael Stipe!"

[morrissey]

Hey now I actually like REM but I needed to justify the fact that I own a Taking Back Sunday album somehow.

but hey I laughed.

[asdf]

Most of my friends have been making fun of me for the past few days for listening to against me!. The rest of my friends went to the against me! concert a week or so ago.

[YDload]

Yeah I had a friend who gave me the :-/ look when I told him that Tool was a good band, but I knew if he gave Undertow a try he would probably like it because that's more his thing than he knew.

But you can't push Tool on anyone or you'll be a fanboy, and we already had one of those at our school who repelled a lot of people from ever trying to listen to them. So he found Undertow on his own and now they are on good terms :)

[asdf]

The thing about my friends making fun of me for listening to against me! is that they also know that I listen to a lot of other good music. Infact, one of my friends decided one day that she wanted to get into good music with the help of me. So I've given her 20 or so CD's over the past month and she's loved every single one of them. I rock at recomending music.

But everyone has those bands that just don't seem to fit in with the rest of the good music.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with Tool. For awhile I liked them, and still listen to them sometimes.

[YDload]

Bass players who learn the riffs to "Schism," "46 and 2," and "Disposition" are happy bass players :)

[JohnXDoe]

Everclear. I really like them quite a lot. I first saw them 10 years ago at a record store performance and they just blew me away. I like literally like everything they have done. They veered into pop and I think that made some think they were a lightweight band. And then Art Alexakis (singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer) had a solo album he was going to make of pop songs, but made it an Everclear album instead. That didn't help things, and I'm not sure if their image ever fully recovered. And their last album with the original line up was hit and miss. But the songwriting was always really good, and Art tackled some heavy themes without letting it get weighed down. Good live band, too. But because they had a number of songs about families, f-up's, Art's childhood, relationships, and fatherhood, they somehow got a bit of a reputation as a kiddie band, of sorts. I went to a gig in Orange County and literally hundreds of 11 and 12 year olds showed up. Mostly girls because Art wrote some songs for and about his daughter. And he would have them come onstage and dance, and it was just good fun for them. Then I saw Art solo in Hollywood with just him and his guitar and figured it would be all serious music people showing up to hear the songwriter. Nope. Dozens and dozens of 11 and 12 year old girls turned up as well. And this guy is a near 40 year old who sings about the hard life to quite an extent. Some father figure. :rolleyes:

But anyway, yeah. Everclear. A good band with a slushy rep. But I love them still.

[Rayne264]

i like everclear, i must have listened to wonderful 300 times by now (not exaggerating)

[DomtarOpaque]

Bass players who learn the riffs to "Schism," "46 and 2," and "Disposition" are happy bass players :)
ah... so true... those are the only 2 riffs(excluding disp.) that i play almost every time i pick up a bass

[Sound Boy]

is it bad that everyonce and a while i listen to some R. Kelly?

[albert_bass]

they're not emo at all, they're just pop-punk.

i dont really like them but i can tell they're not the worst offenders. they have a song with a guitar solo in it!

They're not pop-punk at all, they're just bad.

I'm not ashamed about liking any band, I can say it openly.

Well, yes they have pop-punk influences but really...no.

[lil_drummer_girl]

I'm not embarrased of any of the music I like.

[Knives08]

Two great bands.

Unless you mean the last two Weezer albums.

I like both them both but everyone i talk to says they are chick bands. :angry:

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

Trust me, its baffaling. I hate most new school rap becuase all they do is talk about money. Old school rap had depth and a meaning. I love Pop-punk because its fun and i respect all punk. I Love Alternative becuase that how i grew up, I grew up listening to R.E.M, U2, Peter Murphy, and Nine Inch Nails ( i dont care what you say, i call them alternative). And so its not like im completly changing topic i have a few more bands i am emmbarrsed to like

Nsync
Hellogoodbye
Switchfoot
Coldplay
and my favorite guilty pleasure....Jason Maraz

but..... Gavin Degraw>>>>>>Jason Maraz

[Sound Boy]

switchfoot is pretty good, IMO

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

switchfoot is pretty good, IMO
They have there moments. Other than maybe like 5 of thier songs, they sound so over produced and generic corrporate rock. Which is ok if thats what you want to do, not if thats what your getting paid to do but you want to do something else.

[Zmev]

I like Switchfoot.

[EightMilesHigh]

switchfoot is pretty good, IMO

IMO NO

[YDload]

Switchfoot is awful. In their first single "Meant To Live," the opening guitar riff is so ****ing WHINY that I can't stand it. And the new single "Stars" is a ripoff of the HUM song of the same name.

[Sound Boy]

yea but thats why they are "bands we're embarassed for liking" haha

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

:thumb: Couldnt have said it better myself :thumb:

[the pope.]

le tigre :upset:

[emomaster69]

hi everyone, i really need to get the tabs for a song called "she said" by that 90's band that sucked called called soul asylum, its definately on limewire, sorry i cant post the song. I cant find them anywhere, and i cant post anywhere else on this for some reason, please help me out here, thanks

[bubbledeath]

I have a soft spot for Switchfoot, too. Especially since I'm also from San Diego...well actually, any pop punk San Diego band falls under the "guilty pleasure" category. Unwritten Law, Blink 182...bleh

And also I listen to Thrice and The Ataris. Kill me now.

[Sound Boy]

i think your thinking of Collective Soul not Soul Asylum. its on the scream 2 soundtrack. try that but i could be wrong

[free2bme58]

Nsync is freakin awesome!!!!!!

(just kidding)

[robot]

I dig hellogoodbye

[HBRay]

.....dashboard.....

[JonM]

Sometimes I'm embarrassed about liking System Of A Down.

I also still really like Coldplay's first two records, and that's hard for people to deal with sometimes.

[something vague]

I don't admit this to people I know in person, but I actually like Gwen Stefani. Her stuff is just so damn catchy.

[asdf]

I'm pretty sure that if I lived away from my family, espcially my brother, I would be a bigger punk fan. Until then, though, I've got my select few bands that I get minimal ridicule for. Even though my parents listen to a bit of punk.

[rubyseyes]

i had a horrible month when i was really into good charlotte.im sooooo glad i got over that.

[rubyseyes]

backstreet boys.

(seriously)

wow. i hope youve never told anyone that, youd get the crap kicked out of you.

[YDload]

i had a horrible month when i was really into good charlotte.im sooooo glad i got over that.

[JonM]

Worrrrd.

[bacchusy]

:lol: :lol: led zeppelin - Tangerine:lol: :lol:

sorry, that was a mistake ... of course not

[I'll Take The Veil]

I'm embarassed when I listen to stuff like Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Neutral Milk Hotel in front of closed minded people. They make fun of me and I can tend to be self-contious. So that sucks. But I've gotten into the habit of planing the mars volta for them and they usually just pretend to like it so they will look cool. I really hate people who pretend to like music just to fit in.

Me: Yeah I've been digging the mars volta
Poser: yeah they ****ing rock
Me; *goes into a twenty five minute babble fest about Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt*
Poser:....Umm..Yeah the widow is sweet, I like the video...*walks away*

[Otherside]

My biggest and only would have to be AFI. It's fun driving music sometimes.

[JonM]

led zeppelin - Tangerine
There is nothing embarrassing about that.

[littletom]

I've still got a linkin park CD and a blink 182 CD. I don't know what to do with them.

I like the awful pop music they play at wedding receptions etc when I've been drinking. Especially the Grease Megamix. Can't stand it sober though

[EightMilesHigh]

He rules. Only the ultra-hip indie kids like Elton.

[theredwonder]

I'm not particularly embarrassed about it, but people look at me funny when i say i like Alicia Keys.

[bacchusy]

There is nothing embarrassing about that.

oh, I somehow put this in the wrong thread ... of course I'm not embarrassed about liking led zep :lol:

[JonM]

Good. You should edit the post and put in Anal Cunt, because that's one of them funny jokes 'round here.

[Wanker]

Half the time, I'm even embarassed to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins. Just because of the bad wrap they get almost everywhere. (except amongst a select few on these boards)

[MindlessPickle]

Speaking of them, I once heard this great song by The Smashing Pumpkins, don't recall the title though... I just remember the lines "Heaven spits me out, the sewers belch me up", anyhow that song is awsome, does anyone know which album it appears on?

[rubyseyes]

Man, shut the **** up, stupid hypocrite.

sorry bout that.

i dont know what album its on but is it called "the end is the beginning is the end"? hope that helps

[tinnitus]

no doubt

[darrell]

Well... on this board... I guess new Metallica. Not many here are fans of new Metallica, but I like it. (NOT St. Anger... that just sucked)

Black Album - pretty good. Load and Reload... I liked them for the most part. A couple of pretty crappy songs, but I liked where they went with their style. I think Unforgiven II is one of their better recordings... a lot of little details in that song that really impressed me a couple weeks ago (as I hadn't listened to them for a long time).

Edit: Oh, and I guess DMB. No one really likes their music here either.

[darrell]

The name of the song is "The End is the Beginning is the End"... It appeared on Batman and Robin soundtrack and was released as a single in 1997.
