Also have always loved Nelly Furtado.
Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag and particularly their version of A Little Respect.
For shame....:o
Though I can't stand 'Like a Bird' I always said I'd prefer if my hypothetical kid sister listened to NF than Britney, Pink, Aguilera, Avril etc...Quote:

Maneater and Promiscuous Girl sound like Janet Jackson B-sides.
The rest of the stuff on her Whoa Nelly album is great tho. Have lost my copy tho so havent listened in awhile.
I like the new stuff, great for drunken dancing in same vein as Sugababes in niteclub situation!
Folllo me,follo me down, down down down down,
ah duni deda duni de da baday,
follow me down, follow me down down down,
ah duni deda duni de da baday,
folome folome folome down down down down til ya see all my dreams.
Yeah have to agree on that one, they just have some really simple catchy songs, I have all their albums since Dude Ranch up to their Greatest Hits :oQuote:

Go onto the Sligo metalfest thread and click on the link someone has posted for having a laugh at death metal. It's all pictures of black metal bands in corpsepaint - gurning, swinging axes, growling etc. I'm familiar with quite a few of those pictures as they are from the cd inlays of many an album in my collection. Now that would be a secret shame for many a poster on this site I'd wager.
Check out the photo of the fat guy wearing no top, arms outstretched, the mock rage bursting out of him. Thats from Immortal's 'at the heart of winter' album. Its quite good.:cool:
Nobody should be ashamed of liking Blink 182, wrote some brilliant pop songs and their last album was genuinely a big step forward for them. Wouldn't judge anybody too harsly for liking Wheatus either, first album wasn't any worse than decent though most of what followed on the other hand...
Back to the question at hand anyway...
a whole raft of Avril Lavigne's singles (though the last one is rubbish).
Anybody remember 'I Quit' by Hepburn? Much to my shame I still love it. :o
The situations vacant for me, ain't gonna go to work no more.
That was awful, even more so when played ten times over daily at your place of work along with
"Have you ever been down,
Have you ever been way down?
Have you ever been deep deep down?"
I just youtubed it. Ah such happy memories. :)
He means albums ;)Quote:

*cough* I got the first two albums together for like €9, as Jebus said only partially for the sleeve pics. The reason I only named some singles here is because that's all that I actually liked and by extension am deeply ashamed of. ;)
Was watching a program on BBC Northern Ireland tonight about musicians from there who bcame famouse. Have the Undertones "Teenage Kicks" on the MP3 player at the moment and lately wondering if it's a bit pervy now that I have kids of my own. But having seen how young they were singing it I can understand it. Great band. It's a song that could transcend all generations. Still feel a bit iffy listening to it but great guitar in it.
Its not like you are going to go get urself a teenager to get teenage kicks with so ur not being a perv! Its a classic song that brings you back to when u were a teen.
If John Peel can have had it playing at his funeral then I reckon you have a few years yet to be listening to it.
wouldnt be a shame, but i think natasha bedingfield is class, babies song kind of annoying, but think she has some voice, **** hot lookin to of course, but that wouldnt alter my view of course:rolleyes:
i have perfect musical taste.. im great :)
I'mreally liking James Blunts new single :cool::D
The strange thing is, I kinda like it as well. :eek:Quote:

chesney hawkes - the one and only, thought it was the madras laithroidi when it was out now i think its dire
Strangely I had a child at work who wasn't even born when this song was in the charts turn their nose up at me when I heralded this as a great pop single (in a kitsch early 90s way of course).Quote:

That is strange. They wouldn't even give you a half day?Quote:

I had forgotten how good they were until I saw him. I think my kids were shocked by how camp it all was too!
Way back when i was recording songs off the radio to tape, I really liked East 17's 'Its Alright'. Thought 2 Unlimited were great at the time too. Even thought PJ and Duncan's "Get Ready to Rhumble" was brill too. Oh the shame.
Oh god oh god oh god, gonna die laughing Pj & Duncan!!!
I think Ches should be applauded and indeed presented with the Lemmy Kilminster Award for demystifying curious mutative facial growths.Quote:

Must say I really loved a couple of Duran Duran songs back in the day - Ordinary World and especially A View To a Kill (bond soundtrack) were 2 of my favourite songs at the time...
Really like that Rhianna Umbrella song at the mo (like the video even more :))

Jesus Christ Risteard, i dont mind the odd madonna, would give her socks too, but thats a shocking song. Well done for coming out and admitting that one. Must have been tough :-)
Ah ya.
Honour the threads title.
I'm sick of this
"I actually had a weakness for <insert highly credible act> in my younger years."
The signs were very ominous when I was 7 or 8 going around singing Right Said Fred and with the above being a particularly memorable video.
Nothin wrong with either Erasure or Madonna's cheesy song in my eyes.
For my own sins I actually quite like Norah Jones and think Katie Melua is fairly good in a more elevator mood sort of way too. Must be getting old :(
Its like how I have slipped into the easy listening vein so quickly with Paulo Nutini, Jack Johnson & John Mayer among the most regular of my listened to CDs.
That said even Ian Brown has gone into a laid back mode with his new album so dont feel too bad!
