This is a little embarassing, but I need to get this off my chest...

I like the BeeGees album "Odessa." The whole thing!!! My sister bought it when I was a teen and I listened to it and loved it. It's melancholy, but not too depressing, and nothing like the typical BeeGees songs, SO DON'T JUDGE ME!

And I like that "Toxic" song by Britney Spears. When it comes over the radio, I bob my head! Ack!

And I like Sinead O'Connor's cover of "All Apologies" more than...gasp...Nirvana's! I know, that's heresy!! But she's sooooo GOOD!

I too, have a weakness for 1970s pop. ABBA, Electric Light Orchestra, etc.

But, my bigger confession...I actually kind of liked the Spice Girls. And not just because 4 of the 5 of them were hot.

Oooh! I have a Spice Girls story. I bought the cd single (remember those?) of their first hit, "Wannabe." It was then played to DEATH on every radio station, tv commercial, movie trailer, sporting event, etc...

One day while driving in my car with a friend of mine, she spotted the cd in my book and said, "Why do you have this?"

"Have what?" I replied, as I snatched it from her hand and chucked it out the window as I was driving.

Good times...good times.

Keep 'em coming, people. Confession brings pain, and pain brings healing. We can get through this together.

When it's dark...and no one else is home...

I crank up the MP3 of...

"Star Wars".

No, not John Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.

Meco.

The disco version.

The Bangles

I know my skinny leather tie and pink dress shirt are around here somewhere...

Where's Tiffany and / or Debbie Gibson???

There was a short period of time in which Duran Duran were sexy and cool. Then, the 13-year-old girls discovered them, and it was all over.

Oh, you think y'all are that disturbed.

I can top y'all with: I still listen to "MMMbop" by the Hansons.

No one is more disturbed than me!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Heh...I have more than 3000 CDs, and I don't know how many LPs & Cassettes...

I have found that EVERYONE has dirty little secrets in their music taste, even if it doesn't show up in their purchases. I know of a person who not only teaches Jazz, but also a class on the importance of Debbie Gibson. (Of course, he may be on to something- she IS currently singing on Broadway.)

I, too (despite the prevelance of Metal, New Wave and Jazz in my collection) like ABBA and B-Spears' "Toxic" but don't own any of either.

Some of the ones that actually show up in my collection: Duran Duran, Europe, Slaughter, Paula Abdul, Vain, Bang Tango...the list goes on.

However, if you try to use any of that against me, I'll track you down and blast your bedroom with the sounds of Public Enemy and Godflesh.

I used to like that song, but then again, hanging out with friends back in the day who were obsessed with Britney Spears, I either had to get used to listening to her or go crazy. I think it's essentially the only song of hers that I actually managed to like. Well, and Me Against the Music as well, but then I got tired of those songs, FINALLY.

Tiffany and Debbie Gibson were too "young" for me even then. You'll note most of the listed artists appeal directly to the hormones of teenage boys/young men and had videos that would have trouble getting aired today. Girls on Film, anyone?
