Everybody has music they like that they keep in their "shame" box. up until a few years ago people didn't know I liked BARRY MANILOW and OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN but now I just let it all hang out! I have no shame...and I have no "shame box".

So lets list some songs we love that most of our peers would roll their eyes at:

My daughter - who is 9 - loves Born Free by ANDY WILLIAMS

I love Afternoon Delight by STARLAND VOCAL BAND

I can't even believe that I am going to admit to some of these. It really is sad, but I believe in honesty:

Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One
Snow - Lady With The Red Dress
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me
The Beach Boys - Kokomo
New Edition - Cool It Now & Mr. Telephone Man
Haddaway - What Is Love


I'll stop here. [Embarrassed]

so far I like all the songs and artists you guys mentioned (okay, not KOKOMO...Hahaha) ...BUT...I have never heard If You're Not The One and Lady With The Red Dress. I will have to dowload them and see how "bad" they are.

Yep, I can Mmm Bop right along with Hanson if I'm in the car alone when it comes on. Of course, if anyone's with me I immediately turn it. [Big Grin]

I love songs by Peter Paul and Mary...like:

Lemon Tree and

Puff the Magic Dragon.

I don't know if those are dorky or not.

I love The Carpenters...some might say they were dorky.

I always loved the goofy songs like...

Muddah Fuddah, My Ding a-ling, Spider and Snakes,
Junk Food Junkie....

so it depends on what you think is dorky..

I love "The Streak" by Ray Stevens.

I guess you are referring to "Guilty Pleasure" songs, eh?

I don't hold back, everyone knows I love -

The Spice Girls
Kylie Minogue
The Carpenters

I love most novelty songs too, like Mambo Number 5, the Macarena, the Ketchup Song, etc...

I also love most stuff by American and Australian Idols too.

Oh yeah, I'm a big Carpenters fan. Remember when VH1 classic used to have that 8 track flashback show? They played the Carpenters all the time...I loved it! Of course, if someone came in the room I turned it.

i didn't think i had something to offer here, but i'll admit there a lot of bee gee's songs i like.

i like certain songs from artists without actually liking the artist but i can't think of many now. trying to think of stuff my mother listened to when i was a kid that bring back good memories like carol king, anne murray, carly simon, simon and garfunkel, james taylor, america etc.

I dont think people realize before the big Disco Wave THE BEEGEES had some good rock songs (Okay, well not ROCK like METALLICA or anything - but ....'70s Rock......) I have their 2 disc GREATEST HITS set and it rocks. Im amazed at how many good songs there on there.

I like their Disco stuff too actually.

Forgive Me...I've made greatest hits compilations of:

Barry Manilow (Love Mandy)
Neil Diamond
Air Supply
Don Williams????
Ronnie Milsap????
The Beach Boys and
The BEE GEES

To redeem my coolness.....my favorite bands are:The Cure, U2, REM, The Killers, and...The Indigo Girls......well maybe the last one doesn't have the redeeming quality I thought. But I also drink beers, love hockey (Go OILERS GO!) and Football (DA BEARS!)....and I've watched First Blood about 20 times! Grrrrr! And...I'm a happily married man and rarely comment on other girls....but....holy smokes....I went to see Death Race last night....holy Natalie Martinez!!!!! Now...how cool and macho am I?

wow you topped your list with two of my faves: Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond (seen both in concert- well, not TOGETHER - how awesome would THAT be?????)

I dont know who Don Williams is? I have to look into that. All the other ones are cool though (Im not hugely into THE BEACH BOYS, but a few songs I like).

Don Williams is a country singer prominant in the 80's....my Mom and Dad played his albums all through my childhood...so brings back great memories. If you check out his Greatest Hits, I'm sure you'll recognize a song or two. I don't like country music...though certainly like some songs....but I love a lot of the late 70's early 80's country songs...for the same reason as noted above...childhood memories. I actually really like Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow as well...though a closet listener....meaning, I wouldn't play their CDs at a party...well wait now...yes I would...but only after about 9 beers...and I would sing along to get a laugh out of my friends....."Oh Mandy...you came and you gave without taking......"
