The Wham! cd got loads of sniggers.
Particularly as it was seen snuggled up between Demented are Go and the Dead Kennedys.

that's interesting, and I'm not sure.
There are millions of acts I just wouldn't have come across. And i suspect that a lot of things I like know I wouldn't have liked when i was younger - especially more 'difficult' music. But for the most part, I think it's about being exposed to the right stuff, which is tricky when you're in a seaside town with limited pocket money, progrock mates and no internet

dignity is overrated
I used to be a proper R&B/Garage teenager. I liked Garage compilations and r&b beats albums by artists of which I can't even remember the name now.

Well, my example of Kevin Bloody Wilson is this.Dubversion said:But if you liked it and it made you happy, what are you ashamed of?
i REALLY don't get this
When I was 14/15 his sexist and racist songs I used to love. Songs like "Do you fuck on first dates?" and "Living next door to Abbos"
Now I'm older I realise how immature and stupid it was and I'm ashamed I ever listen to it because of the subject matter.

Clearing out my parents attic recently I found a Bay City Rollers single.
I must have blanked out any liking I ever had for THEM- maybe for my own sanity!
Filing system? Whass that then?

I don't think I did really like it. It was more a case of going along with everyone else. One either liked the Osmonds or David Cassidy. To my (young) mind, the Osmonds were far too clean living and vaguely religious, whereas David Cassidy had a more interesting background, so was a bit more off the wall.
But he couldn't sing! That's what is embarrassing, and I am a bit ashamed of going along with other people, rather than allowing my own taste to develop.
That and the fact that I subsequently discovered my real taste in music. I am not ashamed of the fact that I loved the early Pink Floyd, or that I had a major crush on Meatloaf because of his voice, because those two were things that I really enjoyed and which I still enjoy. In both cases (and several others which I haven't listed because I am not in the slightest bit embarrassed), I have now bought the cd, so that I can keep listening to them now that my turntable is dead.

I owned three Oasis albums, The Verve, some other britpop too dreary to recall. As a kid I was even taken in by that Oasis/Blur rivalry thing and felt some loyalty towards Gallaghers etc. Then I got into garage (bizzarely), the best of which I still love, followed by brief angsty teenage emo/nu-metal phase around 2001.

just worked out taglines
A really sad band called The Uncanny X-Men and I really fancied the lead singer Brian Mannix. They disappeared into obscurity 20 years ago but I just googled them and they are making a movie about the lead singer... They were absolute shite though

I don't think I'm ashamed of anything I have liked, Music should be celibrated in every form. If you like it you like it, being ashamed is snobbery.
Mind you I was in the Big Audio Dynamite fan club.

On a bit of break...
There was a right sneering bastard, who lived near me with his malnourished whey-faced wife and children, who used to belittle me for my taste in music. Personally I didn't give a flying fuck about the opinion of such an unpleasant individual but my greatest moment of schadenfreude was watching his face fall as I pointed out that his favourite tune by Japan, Don't Rain On My Parade was originally from a Barbra Streisand musical

Oh I just meant that Dido sounds like the kind of music you'd get on a tampon/sanny towel advert. AAaaaugughghghghhghgg Bodyform! Bodyformed for YOOOOOOOO.
A bit bland.
I reckon Pink would be good tampon music
