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 Simon & Garfunkel

If you don't feel a single tiny bit of emotion as you listen to 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' you have some heavy problems

One more 60's, tough I dont like him in mid 60's. 'Sylvia', by Elvis fa King.

I'm really not ashamed of music I listen to.  Except for the occasional t-shirt, I really don't do much to advertise what music I listen to.  I'll open up my tastes as I get to know someone.  At first, I usually start with common ground and branch out from there when discussing music.

Not really that ludicrous of an opinion IMO.

Do I feel any shame for music that I like or have liked? No, never. Rather, very sadly, the feeling that I have more and more often is disappointment. For example when I listen to some music I liked in my younger years in the late eighties - early nineties, or if I listen to some music that's said to be fantastic or cult or a mile-stone mandatory in metal circles then I don't like them at all. There are certainly some things with me that people might raise their eyebrow to for example, my favourite Genesis album is From Genesis To Revelation and I really can't stand Dark Side Of The Moon, I am digusted by Neal Morse's music, I have never liked James Hatfield's or Steven Wilson's voice or bands Guns 'N' Roses, Deep Purple, my favourite Iron Maiden album is The X Factor etc etc, and I really like glam metal, progressive metal, jazz fusion and classical music, the Icelandic electronic/experimental band M�m and the Italian pop singer Rino Gaetano at the same time but I am never ashamed of anything, moreover, I'm proud of my ramifying and unopportunistic taste

DragonForce. Used to hate them, I am now currently obsessed with them.

^Good point, Bartosso. People is not that intolerant anymore (although I don't know if this happens due to the easy access to music!).

I don't have too many metalhead friends outside MMA, and those who listen to metal are quite open-minded. So telling them that I listen to Grizzly Bear or Bj�rk would not bring any shame upon my head. I think metalheads are more open-minded in general these days, mostly due to unlimited and easy access to music regardless of genre 

I guess everyone has some music that we really like because of one thing or another and it's considered 'crap'.

But that's the magic, don't give a damn and keep going hehehe

I also like Abba and Bee Gees, I even have 1 of Bee Gees Live album from their Disco era, and it's good!
