Songs that you are ashamed to admit that you love!

I love Avril Lavigne's music because I respect her as a musician too. She is also very easy on the eyes

i have never been ashamed of anything, but i have found that some songs i like are quite condemned by "cool" people who consider them to be very cheesy and simple.

here are some songs i like that most people think are "daggy" (an australian word imbued with unique meaning) .

this is very well written (musically) and to people who can understand rudimentary musical frameworks (not that many people can), it is inspired.


the following is a classic song that i also think is inspired, as the melody could not spring from just an exercize in compiling notes and chords. the guy singing it looks like a possible psycho cult leader, but the melody is what i am interested in. i can imagine how i would play it on my piano and i can imagine going jazzily beserk within the structure of the melody with no other instruments impeding my concentration. there seems to be a level of inspiration that is above manufactured creativity that is responsible for the discovery of this songs structure by it's composer.

i believe the best songs are "discovered" and never "invented".



the following is a song which is considered to be very "commercial" and which lacks depth by the few i have played it to. to me it has a tribal gravity to it which i am usually impervious to. i can not help but imagine playing my keyboard along with this song in an enthusiastic manner (i must get my keyboard fixed or buy a new one soon). it does not have the longevity of chordal variations of the previous 2 songs but i always am moved to musical eagerness to participate when i hear it.



and i very much like deodatos' jazzy version of "2001 a space odyssey". it is insanely well arranged and everyone i ever played it to has become bored after a short while with the song.
oh well.

I like this one too:

Man, there's an entire genre that I'm ashamed to like. That would be NSBM, which stands for National Socialist Black Metal, which translates into layman's terms as "really pissed-off music played by neo-nazis". I can't make this s**t up. Do NOT support any of the bands in this genre, as their ideologies are fundamentally repugnant. But the music is great.



Notice how the first band has the number 88 in its name (88 = HH = "Heil Hitler" *vomits*) and the second band literally has a deformed swastika as a part of its logo. These guys are f*****g serious. Like I said, great tunes, but the ideologies in the lyrics are vomit-inducing!

I'm very ashamed that I like "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. It sounds innocent when you're in 2nd grade....

^I hated that song even back when I first heard it in Kindergarten.

Anything by Lady Gaga. Damnit, I'm in my forties, but I love her music!

I liked Steve Miller Band more when I was in my early teens, but nowadays I think they're cheesy. Abracadbra is one song I really like to laugh at ("Abra abracadabra/I wanna reach out and grab ya" ) The bridge kills me every time.

"Mud on the Tires" by Brad Paisley is a huge guilty pleasure. One of my family members thinks I'm a redneck and I sorta am. I'm still mostly scene/hip hop though :/

I Love this one, no, I.m not ashamed, honest.
