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

I love the Skater Boy song by Avril Lavene(sp).

My true guilty confession is that I'm severely out of the loop on popular music. I recognize the names of big name bands, and some songs are familiar if I hear then on the radio (though I don't often listen to the radio), but I can't match the two together.

I'm pretty good at blank, neutral looks of "oh, yeah, mhmm, mhmm" when someone mentions a name I probably ought to know.

Erm...just for the record- if you like ABBA, you might enjoy Scissor Sisters (whose new album is now in stores).

Laveigne? Linguini? Lavine? Ravine? Raven? Whaaaa??!!

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!

I find this hard to believe. MMMbop?

You must be thinking of "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper.

Or maybe your hand spasmed on the keyboard while you were typing "Candles in the Wind" or "Karma Chameleon."

Hanson? Haha, as IF.

Tony M

 

[Dog Moon]

Isn't the name actually like sk8er boy or something like that?

And there's a g in her name [don't know why I know that...], Avril Lavigne maybe?

Hanson? Haha, as IF.

What other male today would be listening to a Hanson song but me?

I'm THAT disturbed, okay?

 

[Servitor of Wrath]

Most of the songs and artists on this thread I've never even heard of. Is that a good thing or not?

Don't own any of their music, but I like what I've heard on the radio.

Justin Timberlake's song, "Sexy Back," just came on the radio and I'm diggin' it. It's pretty cool.

And while that's not too bad, I have to confess that I kinda liked Paris Hilton's song, "Stars Are Blind."

Clearly, something is wrong with me... :\

Holy crap. I thought I was the only one. I think Justin Timberlake has actually been doing some interesting stuff, but I haven't really -liked- any of it. "Sexy Back" is really growing on me, though.

And I was really pissed to find out Paris Hilton did "Stars Are Blind".

The Jessica Simpson one, "A Public Affair", is pretty good.

My dirty little music secret? Abba, Ace of Base, Aqua, (some) Spice Girls, Madonna, '80s pop (including, yes, Tiffany). Anything really, really, upbeat, with a beat. It distracts the "distracting" part of my ADD brain, and lets "me" concentrate.

Also celtic rock.

I fake interest in rock, oldies, or NPR on job sites, depending on who's there.

I recently put together a CD compilation I entitled "Bad Teen Pop from the Big Bad 80's"

Laura Brannigan
Sheena Easton
The Bangles
Duran Duran

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

I grew up in the '80s, so I'm right there with you.

Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

I was quite young then so no fashion influence. That'd come later with the jeans with holes in them.
