Yes! I love all that stuff, too! I think "Shoot High, Aim Low" is pure genius.

Guilty pleasures are great and that is what the iPod and marriage was invented for
"i don't know how that got on my iPod, it must be my wifes"
As for me, I have a soft spot in my heart for
The Corrs
Winger
Paul Young
All Saints
Britney :
Chesney Hawkes :
Level 42
Phil Collins
I could go on...but I won't.
And who said Depeche Mode?? You should be proud of that, fantastic band and way cool if you ask me.

I'll fess up to Spandau Ballet. That guy sure can sing.
I think most people here love your sense of humour. I would think it's an important part of your creative genius. If you weren't being you, then you wouldn't be the musician that you are.
At first when I was reading this thread, tonnes of names of bands and singers that I can't stand were coming to mind. But then I realized I wasn't having an open mind.
We all have music in our posession that at one time for whatever reason meant something to us. Maybe it was the chorus, maybe a lyric, maybe it was the way the song was layered!? Sometimes we don't remember why we liked it in the first place! Oh well.
I've always loved listening to a broad range of music. Since coming to this forum, I've been introduced to even more. When I was younger I swore off to never listen to rap or country. I still can't stand rap, but just the other day I was looking for some vids of John Fogerty to get some more EBMM porn, and I came across a gig he did with Keith Urban on CMT. Now I find myself a Keith fan. Do I love country now? Probably not, but Mr. Urban kicks some serious a$s in my book and has a lot of talent to offer.
Yes I can say I don't like Abba, Nickelback, etc..... but it doesn't matter, because obviously a lot of people do.
At the same time, I comfortable enough to say that though freaky, Michael Jackson is or at one time is very talented.
So in closing, I say Whatever Floats Your Boat!!!!!

i dug out some records last night, what do you know they were all from 70's or 80's. mostly embarrassing ones too!!!!! these include Hits of 1988, Belinda Carlisle, Wham, Bangles. Oh dear!
Just stumbled across two early Jean Michel-Jarre albums this morning that I'd forgotten I had.
Not sure how big he made it in the US but JMJ was huge here for a while in the 70's/80's with huge instrumental synth stuff, with like, one massive track per album!
Very dated but kinda great too!
I'm sure our French members will have strong opinions on JMJ?

Well, I'm not French (well, I've got some Alsatian bloodlines..) but I love JMJ's "Oxygene" album. It never sits in the CD pile too long without a listen. Brilliant stuff.. especially when you consider that it was 1976!

I get a lot of crap for liking Prince and Village people. Sometimes when I try to say Kirk Hammett has written some great solos, I get that "Kirk sucks you fanboy n00b!" kind of crap. Then there's the 80's europop.
I played the melody to Take on Me by Aha once on a 12string in guitar center and got some strange looks
YMCA has the power to move literally 100's of drunk people in a room like you would not believe!
Oxygene is one of the two I found. I'm sure there's some funky name for this sort of stuff now like ambient new-age trance or something, but brilliant it is indeed!
I remember reading the list of synths on the sleeve notes years ago and wondering what it all meant. Still do now really!
