Remember when you were HS and would never admit to liking <insert suspect band/artist name here>? Well, at times, AP.net can be just as harsh as HS, but then again, you can't get physically assaulted here on AP.net. So, that's a plus.
Edit: This = a fun thread. We know that no one is ashamed of the music they like.

yes, yes but it's a cleansing of sorts. maybe it should have read, 'kept' secret?

yea, the idea is to come out and say things that people would more than likely poke fun at. my musical favorites always draw odd looks, so i was saying 'amazing' like 'bravo!', good for saying jonas brothers.

I wouldn't imagine being ashamed but people get e-raped if they mention certain bands so they keep it to themselves.

@Melkor - thank you, I think that you are one of the only ones that understands the concept. Most people will say who they like, and freely, but sometimes it's taboo to say certain ones out loud. It's more of a fun thread than a serious one, hence the ones who get it. Rock on.

i remember being in disney in like 1999 and they were performing. everyone went apeshit for them. they were forgotten in like a month. however, they did have the video with jennifer love hewitt, so they are okay in my book - or at least the video is.

I don't see why anyone would keep their love for Hanson a secret. From all I have read and heard, they are good guys and they write good pop songs.

Yup, I listen to it.

Depends on which metalcore bands you listen to, really. Some are OK. Some are embarassing. If the bands first record came out 2004ish-present, it's very likely it is bad.

I'm starting to listen to a lot more indie-ish stuff lately, but I still listen to As I lay Dying, Born of Osiris, etc. on a daily basis.
Me too. :highfive:
I also like the deathcore.
I don't even know if listen to anything considered deathcore. These genres get insanely complicated imo. Does Animosity fit into that category?

I just take the opinion that a lot of people probably would make fun of some of my favorite bands and I'm not ashamed.

My only point is that this thread was set up to be a light-hearted post, but people come into the thread and say that they aren't ashamed of their music. Everyone has a band or artist that other people might poke fun at, and that's what this is all about. It's not about whether people are ashamed of their music.

"Girlfriend" is a good song on occasion. Can't vouch for the rest of that record, though.

BSB had a couple of good songs on their first album though. Millennium had I think 2 good ones.

You get mad love from me. Check out my 'Bands' info on my profile, mad love to BSB. My wife's sister had their first album in 1997 and I was in HS back then. And way back when, it was totally taboo to admit you liked a boy band, if you were a dude. So, for awhile I denied that I did just because it was annoying to hear about it. By the time I graduated, I was like 'Fuck ya'll' and have been a fan ever since. So, yea, you got a fan right here.

Going to have to disagree, mostly on the basis of N'sync "I want you back" because it is my jam.

I'll probably take the walk when they perform here next. They're great musicians and appear to be really genuine people who are passionate about what they do. Looking forward to a new album 09-10.

Haha, that makes me feel so bad. You grew out of Hilary Duff four years ago. Here I am still rocking out to "So Yesterday" and "Why Not".
Motion In The Ocean is a good McFLY record. I haven't bothered to listen to Radio:ACTIVE yet. First two releases were eh...

I Want You Back! that song was so good... I just couldn't, and still can't stand Justin Timberlake.
Have you not heard the new BSB album Unbreakable?
I have the re-release, it has like seventeen tracks and I swear, only two songs aren't worth listening too. Solid.

Dude, you are totally awesome. Unbreakable is a quality album and probably, probably my favorite BSB album. My favorite BSB song is "Not For Me." Order of albums: Unbreakable and Black and Blue (tied), Millennium, Backstreet Boys, Never Gone.
