Most embarrassing artist or band that you feel ashamed to like.

I like to think I like only credible artists, but alas I like Gilbert o’sullivan, I can only blame my mum for playing him nonstop has a kid, what is your secret?

[joko]

i always like mmmbop...not cool amongst my kinda people...but im not ashamed to say it really

[kawakiri]

There's something about Copacobana.

[JMR27]

Leonard Cohen - if I'm sad he always cheers me up. I always think that the poor soul is in a far worse state than me

[stevie0914]

yeh, lets get it out there.

I also like Gilbert O'Sullivan.

I remember being in sweden on business about 10 years ago and finding a CD of his "Live in Japan" in a bargain bin and bought it.

Some his lyrics were very deep and meaningful

These lyrics form "Alone Again Naturally" still being a lump to my throat

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally

Oh this is right up my street! :D

I like *loads* off naff artists, that I should be ashamed of... but aren't!

I really like Gilbert, too. My Mum used to play his music loads when I was a kid, and I bought his Greatest hits a few years back, and play it all the time.

I'm loving the Steps reunion at the mo. No shame. No shame at all... :))

[boxtops]

why are they embarrassing? if you like 'em, you like 'em. Some people like Des O'Connor.

[craft1948]

I liked Demis Roussos :-(

[nungate]

Gosh, your mums played Gilbert O'Sullivan? Heck I remember Gilbert O'Sullivan when he had the pudding bowl haircut and short trousers! You guys are making me feel old tonight! So, time for a confession I've been to at least two Westlife concerts (my daughter made me) and I enjoyed them.......................

[saxy_jag]

I'm not ashamed to admit I was a Bay City Rollers fan and I still like listening to 'their' stuff even now.

[stevie0914]

oh shame on you nungate.

[nungate]

I was coerced

[maggiebee]

Bay City Rollers, Frank Ifield, Slim Whitman, Max Bygraves - love them all but only play when alone. Can't beat a bit of Leonard Cohen too. As you will have guessed I've led a rather sheltered life.

[owdhamer]

Frank Spencer.

[fliptheswitch]

Frank Spencer? He weren't a singer... was he?

[Jemisa]

My children grew up listening to 'John Denver' one of his songs "Grandmothers Feather Bed" became my daughters fav. even today she knows it off by heart & sings it often to her two daughters (5 - 7) I often play it to 'em too.
Wonderful.

Gilbert O'Sullivan too and on occasion have been known to play the odd Barry Manilow track, plus Josh Groban.

[fliptheswitch]

My Mum always says I should be ten (twenty!) years older than I am. Love Gilbert! :D

[andy-hughes]

I've banged on about this before - if you are 'ashamed' of liking an artist or a style of music, it's not your taste that needs to be changed, its your self-image!

If you worry about what other people think about the music you like, then you need to get some confidence - fast!
