Most of us have already mentioned we are not embarrassed already. So, instead, we have listed bands/artists that don't reflect the majority of our music tastes. It's just meant to be a bit of fun, and

When I was younger. I used to be ashamed of liking Phil Collins era Genesis. No more. Sorry people that era blows away Gabriel era. Never saw the greatness in Gabriel era anyway. Sure there were great tunes. But man oh man. It's hard to take a man in a flower get up seriously. Phil Genesis all the way.

I'll admit it. I like Avenged Sevenfold. I mean it's not really a band to admit liking around music forums and news outlets, but they are vastly popular and actaully well-deserving of their success.

 

I also like Daughtry, but people think they are Nickelback-lite so that's going to be hard to admit it anywhere.

The vocalist is shit and the band's appearance is laughable, what a bunch of douche bags.

 

they are [...] actaully well-deserving of their success.

 

Ha.

Avenged Sevenfold...deserving of their success?

 

Bands like Mastodon, Opeth and Baroness are metal bands deserving of success.

 

Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, All That Remains...aside from catchy songs, they are all pretty throwaway and I am sorry, but AS last album was every bit a ripoff better bands in the same way as Triviums The Crusade. Deserving? Really?

 

Well...each to their own. But fun songs aside, they do nothing to give metal a good name. Seriously...nothing...

 

And on that note...I love Lacuna Coil!

Katatonia

 

Really? I am not impressed by this answer. Katatonia are truly brilliant!

 

What next? Porcupine Tree? Anathema? Paradise Lost? THE SPICE GIRLS???

 

What is this world coming to?

 

Actually now that I think about it, I was never really embarrassed to be a Katatonia fan. I do feel embarrassed about bands I used to like like Finger Eleven and Three Doors Down and Korn and Killswitch Engage and Breaking Benjamin and Green Day. But I was younger then so I don't really care now

Yeah that's some shit man. I don't like Avenged Sevenfold either but it's really lousy of everyone to be jumping down your throat about it.

 

At work I'm pretty much ashamed of 90% of the music I listen to. It's a factory job and the popular music around there is rap or metal. When I took the day off of work to go see St. Vincent and people asked me who I was going to see I tried to keep my answer vague. It would be hard to explain that I was going to be spending the evening rocking out to a girl who looks like this: http://www.nashvillescene.com/binary/8d6d/1394468160-stvincent.jpg

 

But here in internetland I can very freely and openly admit that she put on one hell of a show. Probably best overall concert experience I've ever had.

Try not to take it personally, like what you damn well want to.

The only time in my life I ever embarrassed myself music-wise was the day I bought Thriller, but that's because Michael Jackson was such a pop star at the time, and I was already pushing thirty. I quickly got over it though. I loved that album.

 

Other than that, my taste in music has always been all over the place. If I liked something, I liked it, and that was that.

I embarrassed myself the day I bought Hemispheres on vinyl.

 

Not because of the music...it may be the best 40 minutes of music anywhere...but the cover... :scared:

My mom was legitimately concerned when I asked for that album for christmas. "Jim, you know there is a naked man on the cover!" :LMAO:

We got people admitting to like bands like the Bee Gees, and you go off on Avenged Sevenfold? I think you have totally missed the point of this thread. :|

Ok then it's finally time to come clean...

 

I'm a secret avid fan of that ancient boy band ILsnwdog & The Orange Bald Transvestites With Purple Beards! Their "Kilts Up", "Fondling on the Flatiron" and "Disrobe and Probe" albums are absolute solid gold classics. And their "Sitting in a Puddle Makes Your Pantyhose Wet" LIVE at Madison Square Garden" is one of the best live albums ever!

Ah, the good old days. You know, I haven't seen the rest of the members of the Orange Bald Transvestites With Purple Beards in decades. I still receive Christmas cards from a couple of the guys though.
