Songs you're embarrassed that you like

I happened to run across Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball that I hadn't heard in a while and remembered how much I liked it.

Of course, I'd never publicly admit it.

DLers, what song are you embarrassed that you like.

The song isn't bad until the bridge, then it goes off the rails ("Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday ...").

"212" & "The Big Big Beat" - Azealia Banks "Stuck on Stupid" & "Don't Judge Me" - Chris Brown

It's the artists that I find embarrassing more so than the music. I rip their shit from YouTube and listen to the mp3s privately - not giving them Spotify coins if I can help it. Unfortunately, CB is featured on good songs with every single one of my favorite artists except Dawn Richard - those songs I'm still going to play on Spotify, unfortunately. (The other "favorite artists" in question: Brandy, Tinashe, Teyana Taylor, H.E.R., Sevyn Streeter, etc.)

Fuck that noise. Why should anyone be embarrassed for liking any pop music? I realized as I was posting it under this thread topic that I actually wasn’t embarrassed at all.

Life is crappy, so if you can find a moment of enjoyment by listening to a corny pop song, don’t let anyone stop you. And sing out Louise!

I guess I'm embarrassed that I am not a DJ, unless a song is stuck in my head, I'm perfectly happy to have a DJ curate songs for me. I loved Pandora Radio stations, I am really liking greatest hits and such from Youtube when it comes to the types of songs, sounds, and moods I enjoy. Some of my favorite youtube channels play "study music" - I don't know who the artists are but I enjoy the mood they create.

I've forked out so much money over the years on cassettes, then CDs, then digital...I'm tired. I'll still pay for an unusual artist I like or want to encourage.

I've never said this out loud, but I actually really like a lot of Justin Bieber's music. I don't care about him as a person and don't think he's at all attractive, but I think he's a pretty decent pop singer/songwriter. I feel the same way about Post Malone.

by Anonymousreply 68April 9, 2022 9:41 AM

There are quite a few songs I love to sing along to on Def Leppard's Pyromania. And other popular heavy metal/hard rock-type songs.

And early 1980s power ballads.

I can't be embarrassed about Suddenly, Last Summer. That song is a mood.

Peter Cetera's voice was not my favorite when I was young. I did not like falsetto type voices, like SuperTramp, BeeGees, but now they make me nostalgic.

R73, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was Bryan Adams' Everything I Do (I Do It For You)!

Glory of Love was from Karate Kid II (I had to look it up, but i knew it was from a movie).
