Hate to Admitt it...but it's true

Hey I got this idea for a topic when I read some of the posts on disco music. I was just wondering if there is any type of music, band, or song that you may really like but you hate to admitt it. I for one can say not everything I listen to is well received by most people. So if anyone is willing to admitt it, go ahead and share :) :) I'll start...ok...I'm gonna be real, I am a fan of the MONKEES...there I said it (I love the bass in Pleasant Valley Sunday :roll: :rock: ). And if I reach even deeper, there was a time in my high school years where...whew can't believe I'm going to admit this...but New Kids on the Block was my world!!! :lolbonk: :lolbonk: :tinker: Ok I have embarrassed myself enough for board amusement...anyone else willing to open up

Oh, New Kids on the Block was the bomb.

I can't believe I'm doing this. Umm, umm, umm... :ohnoes:
I'll give only a few admissions...let's just keep in mind that I was very young and MTV was new and stuff so I was all amazed with videos (cuz we also just got cable) and so...here goes:

Ratt: "Round and Round"
Cinderella: "Nobody's Fool"
Poison: almost anything from them.
Motley Crue: "Smoking in the Boys Room" (why was I singing this song in like 4th grade?)

Raamstein: "Du Hast" (man, I can sing this song in German [and English] complete with accents)

And the one that takes the cake:
Ms. Roxanne Shante: :ohnoes9: Can't remember the name of the song but part of it goes.
"Then you know what else happened.
I went to Marley cuz we was a close friend.
I said, I want to make a record, yes.
He said, come to my house and let me see if you're fresh.
I said no not that way, no not today...he said, you know I'm just playing Shante'."

Ok, I've aired my dirt. :rock:

i listen to filthy dirty nasty House songs...the nastier the better..like "Break for Love",,,oh and .."you used to hold me...you used to love me...you used to thrill me"oh..and my all time personal favorite..."You Keep me Cummin on"....extended PLUNG ME!!!!!! mix...invented by our very own Cozmo D

oh yeah gyrl...don't be embarrassed about Shante'...by the way i think that sone you're talking about is "Queen of Rox".;..boy ohhhhh boy....there was i time when i couldn't start my day without some rhymes from shante'

or the monkeeez ...for that matter

i think i can top this,,,,, :roll: :slap:

i own everything poison,motley crue,def leppard,inxs,madonna,vanilla ice,mr bungle,wwf entrance themes and ace of base....ever did. :rofl: some people think of these acts as cheesy 80s and 90s music so i guess i declare myself the king of cheddar :fawkdance: :lolbonk: :ohnoes9: :grouphug: i like some yoko ono songs....and i have an mc hammer best of,...and some arcade themes ...nothing like walking past a room and the metroid theme is blasting :rofl: :ohnoes9:....and i LOVED rico sauve when it came out......ICE ICE BABY was the first single i absolutely ever owned... :ohnoes9:

"Alright stop collaborate and listen, ice is back with a brand new edition something grabs a hold of me tightly flowin' like a harpoon daily and nightly..."...UGH!!! whoa, syxx I had that single too...you are not alone, I actually bitched at my mom for not giving me enough money to buy the entire album. Arcade themes?? hey do you have the music from the original Super Mario Bros?? I love that :bowlaugh: :bowlaugh: Oh and I love Inxs, I have the greatest hits album and can you believe it doesn't have "Not Enough Time" on it...WTF :dunno:

Two Words... I Think...

Milli Vanilli... I think

But you may have to separate the image from the voices...

I loved the songs...

still do...

I'm sure owning a copy of THE JETS was bad. I don't recall listening to it or what in the hell they sang but i somehow bought it! I really enjoy the Monkee's. I love lots of oldies tho and the Monkee's had their share of pretty solid tunes.(both those written for them and those they wrote.--Love Michael Nesmith!)

Oh wait...Debbie Gibson would have to be waaaay the hell up there! Album Out of the Blue. Lord how gay am i? JETS and Debbie Gibson?

Lastly everyone needs to see the movie made by the Monkee's. It's called HEAD. I love it.

i have the level one theme of smb...the actual recording and a vancouver symphony orchestra arranged medley of the game themes from the movie.......not enough time is on the best of inxs comp that just came out november 2k2 with the two new posthomous cuts..."salvation jane" and "tight"..there is also a double best of that came out on rhino records called shine like it does "the inxs anthology"

Hmm, I personally dig most of the music mentioned.
I'd first like to thank everyone for being so honest in their posts. Y'all really make me feel so much better. I think I need to air my dirt more often. It's so liberating. :bigthumb:
I'm also glad to see I'm not alone with the Roxanne Shante. Thanks for that, 'Be'. I thought I was taking that one to the grave. :)

Anyways, I tend to enjoy jingles for commercials and TV tunes and those can be really bad (especially the ones I like). For example, umm, children's shows...like the learning ones that I'm way too old to be watching without owning or having any children of my own...such as "Zoobalee Zoo". Man, it has the best song to it! Also, the 'Good N Plenty' candy commercial from way back in the early 80's. I feel as if I'm the ONLY person in the world that remembers that song. It's the best jingle ever. :rock:

Let's not forget "The Great Space Coaster". Oh Yeah!

Good one, Chuk. I can still jam to Milli Vanilli.

Oh, one more...Crucial Conflict "Hay".
"Haaaay, in the middle of the barn...(smoking on) hay
(haaaaaaaaay) in the middle of the barn. "

Sadly, I know all the words and find myself singing it from time to time in the office. :dunno:

:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:
ok everybody wave ya hands to the beat!!!!!!!!!!!!

now sing!!!!!!!!!!!!

"IT'S A TRAGEDY FOR ME TO SEE....THE DREAM IS OVER...AND I NEVER WILL FORGET...THE DAY WE MET....
GYRL I'M GONNA MISSSSS YUOOOO...!!!!!"

WHOA..that felt great....does anyone have a problem with me covering this?

ok ok back to the spirit of the thread...

i hate to admit it....but it's true

and speaking of true...that was the only song i ever heard from spandau Ballet until i was 26...and now...it's the only song i can stomache.....they fuckin suck...except for that one song...

Now for me...THATs some real shit to admit....

but i'll never admit it again ;)

True is the only song from Spandau Ballet that I knew as well. It wasn't until I got Grand Theft Auto Vice City that I heard another song by them "Gold", not the best music to play when you carjacking someone or takin' out a crime boss. :dunno: Actually "Will I Am" and Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas did a remake of True. It's on the "50 first dates" Soundtrack (recommended for those who like contemporary artists re-doing cheesy 80's songs)...of course it cannot compare to the original...doesn't even have the "bought a ticket to the wor-or-orld, but now I've come back again" part. :roll:

And Milli Vanilli...Blame it on the rain.... :rock: :rock: I also have an album by this band from the late 80's "When in Rome"...whoa...hate to admit it but it's true, still pull it out on long roadtrips (when I'm riding alone of course)

And SCB, you not only sing Crucial Conflict around the office, you sing it around your friends too, they just love you too much to mention it. :slap: *lol*

That would be a pretty sweet cover. Only who would you pay? The band you're covering or those they originally "covered"?

as for what I will admit I listen to? I have every single Enya CD (When I hear that track from Jay-Z all I hear is Enya in the background. I don't listen to the rest of the song) and most Yanni CD's. Admitedly I listen to the Yanni ones as background music at work because I don't have to concentrate on it, but I still like them.

Oh, now see you all done started a stagger down memory lane!! There is NO bigger Roxanne Shante` fan on this entire board than me!!! I actually HAVE the video "Roxanne's Revenge" on VHS (sad admission :sad: )!

"Live on stage", "Lucy (with Rick James)", and "Ya best go about your way, and have a nice day!" She is the sheeeiiittttttt!!!

:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

im scared....hold me...

We should never do this again. If we do we must make sure we have a cave where we all can live and remain there for the rest of out lives. My Wife by the way knew the JETs songs and reminded why i owned the album. Oh well....OFF TO THE CAVE!

She still makes the Old School rounds. I was supposed to be someplace with her Saturday night, but I was too worn out.
