Shame On You!!!!????

You know, many dislike The Stones but I don't really mind them. They seemed pretty harmless.

I was never really a shamed of the music I listen too. However, I do sometimes turn heads when I mention that a great deal of my inspiration and composition techniques often derive from me growing up listening to artists like Madonna, Sting, Michael Jackson, Bjork. Stevie Ray, 2Pac, Eminem, and Eric clapton etc etc. Though I remember mentioning once, when I was into the Black metal / Brutal / Doom scene, that I listened to HIM, and some of the people there gave me this look that said: "something`s wrong with you. Its like your a different person. We dunno you anymore...". Oh memories XD.

I like De La Soul and The Beastie Boys - I have a couple of albums from latter.

I often wear metal t-shirts when I teach at university or attend staff meetings with my fellow academics. I'm not ashamed of that and, frankly, people don't seem to care anyway. I used to work in a Bank many years ago, one day I popped in on a day off in full bikers leathers with cutoff, boots, chains... ...that turned a few heads

I am sure that it is much more acceptable to look like a freak in academia than it is in a bank ;-)

I'm partial to a bit of Trip-Hop now and again.

I love some of Massive Attack's stuff as I also do Portishead.

On the nail Stooge. Even the lamest record on 60's had 'music' on it, real musicians, real instruments, and yeah, the whole feel that even the poppiest song ever had to be well crafted. That's why I like Mamas & Papas or Tom Jones, just to name a few. But let me put one thing straight about the 60's... I FUCKING HATE ROLLING STONES!!!!!!!! Ok, now I feel better   ...yeah to hell with Rolling Stones. I really don�t like them either. Don�t tell my mother in law though. She loves them.

Indeed, I never cared much for Rolling Stones.

OK, I have one. 

This was a Christian boy band I used to listen to when I was in first grade.  Back then (around the turn of the century) this stuff was all that was on the radio (Radio Disney, that is).  I know a lot of the comments said they got the CD in a Happy Meal, but I got my parents to buy me the real thing.  It's funny because they broke up a short while after this was released and because only a couple of songs were played briefly on children's pop radio, nobody nowadays knows this band ever existed...nobody except us '90s kids, that is.  I recently dumped a bunch of CDs that I don't listen to anymore at my local resale shop, but this one...fuck, I couldn't get rid of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Porcupine Tree and his solo work, I just don't think his voice is all that great.
