Okay, so, quite straight forward...

What is the most embarassing band you listen to?

(And if you're not embarassed, then what band do you listen to that people would laugh at you for?)







I mainly listen to metal and rock, and then.. McFly.

How about you people then?

I am not embarrassed, really, but I listen to Good Charlotte, The Used, Panic At The Disco and Avril Lavigne {her older stuff}. What can I say? I love pop-punk!

uhmm...

Ours
Starsailor
Keane
Incubus
The Feeling
Protocol

and of course James Blunt!

Incubus is embarrassing?

Hadouken!.

probably all the anime themes I listen to.

I'm particularly into Aya Hirano's recent work from Lucky Star and Suzumiya Haruhi.

Especially this song. With the dance. Because of repeated viewings I can do maybe half of it.

O-ukina! yume! yume! suki deshou!

New Incubus is embarrassing.
Their old stuff is still lovely

For me, its AFI. I was a hardcore AFI fan when I was like 13-16 and I can't bring myself to delete their songs from my iTunes

My Chemical Romance

Other people could say/do sometimes say:

Coldplay
Keane
Starsailor
Sugababes
Girls Aloud
Kasabian
Jet
Bright Eyes
Christina Aguilera's Stripped album
GLC
Pharrell

Some weird indie eliterist also think Oasis and The Monkees is really uncool, they need their minds checked.

And I like old Avril Lavigne,
Panic At The Disco, the first Puddle Of Mudd album (yeah, really ...) and sometimes Howie Day.


New as in post-a crow left of the murder? Because thats their best album.

Those are NOT embarrassing!

Especially Starsailor, what's with everyone claiming they're rubbish?

the used.

kaiser chiefs.

I almost forgot, I still listen to Hanson.

MMMMBopppppppppp to that.

i'm not embarrassed but i think a lot of people here dont like these:
james blunt
hadouken!
soulwax (some stuff)
hellogoodbye
katie melua
kate nash
lily allen
the streets

Well, when I bought the first album and listened to it for the first time I couldnt decide whether to cringe or to laugh about some of the songs. The lyrics and his voice.
I do really like them though. Dont know their second album,is it good? The last one was really great! Even though still to lyrical geniuses. "Hope! Love!"



Sinc when are soulwax embarassing?

Thanks for reminding me. I need to find mine.

I love the way you look at me. I love the way you smack my ass. I love the dirty things you do. I have control of you.

Yea thats what I meant.

Make Yourself is my fave by far

PS: I totally like Lily Allen too haha

well dont ask me

I never really considered their lyrics to be exceptionally bad, although I don't think I'll ever stop laughing at "I've got something in my throat". Pure comedy. The first album is fucking good, though, isn't it? The second one is pretty good as well, although I wouldn't say it's much better than the other two.

I had to go see fall out boy with my 16 year old cousin, she loves them...I almost died of horror.

They butchered 'Beat It'

That song just shouldnt be covered.

And their solo was terrible.

And they really do annoy me. :/

I agree on all counts

well my mom likes them, too
seriously, she's a fan

so Keane and Starsailor isn't really rubbish. it's just the music that your mom would like. when i listen to it i feel like 20 years older. but i still listen to it, that's why i think it's embarrassing )

same here, I love MJ's songs so much its more like:

Just Ruin It, Ruin It....

I love the song It's alright by East 17. I'm not a fan of the band, just that one song. It's just such a daggy song just can't help but love it

I don't think I listen to anything that I think is embarrassing.

Hmm..
I like 'Gimme more' by Britney Spears, that should probably be embarrassing.

Me too... I was completely obsessed with Hanson at one stage... all four walls and ceiling completely plastered with Hanson posters... very embarrasing . Though in my defence I was 12... (and 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 ).


Yep, I'm guilty of liking this band too . I just have their first 2 albums though... I never got into them when they resurfaced as E17 in the late 90s. I guess that's one redeeming factor .

And the other band which I have a soft spot for is Roxette, my first ever fave band... I think I was about 5 .

I'm not really embarassed of anything I listen to.
Only thing I can think of is Christina Aguilera but I'm not actually embarassed for listening to her anymore. I was some years ago.

Oh I rembered some now.
Linkin Park (their first album is great but the new stuff is just awful),
Eminem,
I like Avril Lavinges older stuff,
I also like some songs by Panic at the disco,

I would never admit that I like these anywhere else

No, all you say is embarrassing but great.

I cant listen to Linkin Park though, it makes me feel too ashamed.
Thats why I love the collab with Jay-Z even more...

Why on earth are they embarrassing? I love Coldplay. They're one of my favorite bands, plus Chris Martin has a beautiful voice. Whoever thinks that they're boring have no insight.

I also like Eminem, but I don't see what's so wrong with that.

I do, however, listen to Hilary Duff sometimes. Oh god, how embarrassing...

nothing really....maybe Panic at the disco....but I listen to only one song

Check out any Radiohead board and they will provide you with enough answer.

A possible answer would be: X&Y


I got something properly embarrassing:

Josefine Garline.
I except you dont know her, which is good.
Here's some random video on youtube with one of her songs as a backroun for the first 40 seconds...

weezer, their blue album is still the best

<3 I love Em.

Jonas Brothers

sad, I know. but they're just so gosh darn cute. well two of them are. one of them is ugly as.

weezer isnt embarassing

lol, I was a massive Hanson fan as well. From when I was 13-17 . I had so many posters at one stage I had all 4 walls covered as well as on the roof. So sad. I'm so glad i'm not the only one

Haha a fellow Hanson obsessive.. or ex-obsessive . I still do have a soft spot... and I do have to admit to seeing them 4 times on their last 2 trips to Australia . Though I'm not a fan of their latest two albums at all, very snore worthy, but I still do love MON and TTA.
I met them once, and they were nice enough people, though I remember after one gig they were charging their fans $60 each to be in a photo with them! Each fan had to be a member of their fan club (which was something like $25 a year), then $60 to be in a photo with them along with 9 other fans! They were making $600 a photo! Milking their fans dry, I thought that was a bit low . Ahh well...

I'm an Ex-obsessive fan. I stopped listing to their music when I was 17 and discovered Silverchair. And have sold all the cd's I had to cash converters, and I never got to see the when they came to Oz. But I have to admit, if I see Mmm bop played on music max, I can't help but love it

That is so rude they charged fans for photos. I'm glad The Vines aren't like that.

Hahaha I used to be a Hanson obessive too when they were really big. Oh the memories. I remember we had this thing in school when I was 10 or 11 and we were gonna perform a song (playback). I was Taylor and stood there behind a keyboard and mimed to Mmmbop. I didn't even know the lyrics. I must have looked so stupid

I also had my room all covered with posters and I had a tee with them that I used to wear all the time. I'm so glad it was just a phase though and that I started listening to better music when I was 12.

I remembered some!
I like some Avril Lavigne songs. That is really embarrassing. And I don't know why, but I also think it is kind of embarrassing that I like Nirvana.. And Marilyn Manson

Nirvana and Marilyn Manson are not embarrassing. I love both of them, they are both so great.

I also listen to Jewel, which is embarrassing. But she has such a great voice.

wow.....Nirvana is NOT embarrassing.....they're my favourite band next to The Vines and Wolfmother.
well its kinda embarrassing that i went through a big SOAD faze.....haha....i still have to admit that the singer is my hero though, his thoughts are v. interesting and come through in the lyrics.

its embarrassing that i listen to the Doobie Brothers.....lol if anyone even knows who they are.....
and sometimes its embarrassing that I listen to CCR but....sometimes not I went to see John Fogerty twice on his recent tour and IT WAS AWESOME. that man is my hero.

It cant be embarrasing to like Nirvana. Theyre on of my favourite bands. lol

Even Justin Timberlake (who I hate) has covered Teen Spirit. lol

Wooh.

I'm not sure if anyones heard, but I like this band that a few of you on here might like. They're called.. The Vines I think, check em out!

I'm sorry guys, but I am kind of embarrassed that I listen to them. I just... Well, they're so overrated.. And it annoys me a bit because they weren't that good musicians. I'm sorry

Angels and airwaves ( i think tom's voice is amusing )
Madina Lake ( i have a thing about blonde men. blonde twins in a band = ORGASM. :| )

I lost all respect for Angels & Airwaves when I saw them at Hyde Park a few years ago.

Their set was terrible. They did Blink 182 - Down as well, and it was just terrible. It was more like they were jamming then playing, and he spoke loads.

"I had sex with a girl, twice, and I didnt cry the second time."

I just despise him so much for how un-funny he is. lol

Im gonna stop talking because to be honest, you can tell I hate him now. lol.




Ooh, another embarassing band I listen to.. Take That.

ahaaa fair enough. i gathered he was a bit... up himself from that interview in kerrang a few weeks ago? :S

and btw, take that are pretty awesome. ;D

yea nirvana arent embarrassing they are in my top 5 fave bands but for me one would be...the beatles...

used to like H.I.M., but after seeing them in concert i felt kind of embarrassed, cause they really sucked and most of the people were disappointed ...
... anyway, i still like a few songs, just hope i'll never listen to the their mutilated versions

I wouldn't say that I'm embarrassed by any of my music. I'm into a lot of pop like Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Madonna and Hilary Duff. I'm a big fan of Vanilla Ice. I'm sure that would embarrass a lot of people, but it doesn't bother me...
