Mine's Pink.
Just love her mildly mental, passive-aggressive lyrics and ability to continually churn out great pop songs.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Disco. The naffer, the better. Love it! 🙂
You need to play it both loud and for more that 3mins to get “into it”
Essentially it’s Disco EuroPop.
Bronski best and Boston.
Taylor Swift. And Kylie.
LostProphets...
ABBA and the Carpenters. Well, not all of their recorded catalogues, but there are a lot of great choons in there.
I quite like a few of Pink’s songs, and Ms Bextor has done one or two, although I prefer her theaudience album.
I like a good pop song, shame there’s so very, very few around these days, the charts are totally irrelevant now they include streaming.
Here is another, no.. not Disco EuroPop.. more Dance Arabia.. put it on, ya’ myt lyk it.
Genesis.
On a ToTP special right now.
And country and western.
🤘
I love me a bit of Bert Kaempfert, eg. Swinging Safari.
Also genuinely enjoy Chas and Dave. It's an Edmonton thing, I suppose.
LostProphets…
There's definitely some shame involved in that one..
They were a support act for much better band I went to see years back. I thought most of their music was a bit crap but never suspected the other stuff.
Alexander O Neal ..Hearsay album ..brings back a good few memories ...
Here! I'm ahem, 'aloud' 😀
Here's a snip of the Gs in my music NAS...
I own a couple of Tigertailz albums. Sorry.
Carly Rae Jepsen
I’m out and proud with my love for Pink,ABBA& girls aloud.
Does Sparks count? 🙂
Garbage.
It started as a joke with an ex gf but keep finding myself playing Boney M on occasion. 😳
rachel.
cheesy 60s American girl-band pop - my boyfriend's back, chapel of love etc
Started off as a way of getting my kids to listen to different stuff and it found its way onto my phone but I quite like it, so it's stayed now they're well past all that
If you think ABBA is shit, lookup their tune "the visitors"
Quality
Feast on this, Abba haters! I think this is a brilliant little pop song.
Bigblackshed
There's Genesis
& there's
Genisis
Anyway, I actually quite like a song by snow patrol !!!!
My mum used to play him when I was a nipper. Used to send me to sleep, still brings tears to my eyes as his songs remind me of her.
Flashy,
I have i recollection that the Bruce Willis album was quite good...
colournoise, tygertailz were/are terrible and I liked that sort of stuff, just not them.,, terrible.,,!!!
taylor swift.. now there’s some great pop songs.
Old Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. My mum was a singer and used to play them and sing along when I was a toddler. Just stuck with me. Apart from Jolene, that’s simply one of the best songs ever.
I have Wham and Pet Shop Boys albums from my early teenage years.
Miley Cyrus - Backyard sessions.
Tatu - but only in Russian.
Macarena!!!!
Ketchup song.
MMMBop by Hanson.
I have no shame.
when I was a youp (a hardcore anarcho punker no less) I couldn’t allow to admit (even to myself) that I absolutely loved We Are Family by Sister Sledge. It would still make a top 50 favourite song list now.
i bought a Bobby Gentry cd the other week 😆
and the Sugababes still get a spin every now and again.
to thine own self be true.
In, in, in, in, in heart, I am a Muslim, in heart, I am an American
In heart, I am Muslim, in heart, I'm an American artist and I have no guilt
Radio 2 Folk Playlist 😳
I’m not ashamed by this one but I love Roxette.
Fantasy Island by Tight fit, pure cheese but I love it.
Dollar did some great catchy pop .
Belinda Carlisle.
Nowt wrong with Pet Shop Boys. I wouldn't consider them a dirty secret.
Does Sparks count?
Of course, Sparks are a great band, and I’m rather fond of the FFS album, an unlikely combination that works pretty well, even the name does!
I make no secret of the fact that I’m very fond of early Prog, when the term meant Progressive, not Pompous and Pretentious! So than means Genesis up to Wind and Wuthering, Yes up to Close To The Edge, Greenslade, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Curved Air...
@stoner, there’s nowt wrong at all with folk, it’s some of my earliest remembered music, and folk is often the music of the people, and was music of comment and protest, plus quite a bit is fundamentally dance music! That’s what jigs and reels are all about.
Open mike folk/whatever, though I put it down to excessive amounts of quality beer.
The Nolans...... Yes I just came out and said it.
I win dirty music top trumps.
Drops da Mike.. .....
Would have been better if you'd spelt it mic...
Yep...Taylor Swift for me and Sugarbabes 'Angels With Dirty Faces' is also spinworthy.
Micheal McDonald. There, I've said it. I can't sing along with him though, as he's an octave or three above myself.
Er....
Bryan Adams.
But not "Everything I do I do it for you" obviously, I do have some standards
Does Sparks count?
Of course, Sparks are a great band
So, clearly don't count as a dirty secret!
My faith in humanity has been restored by no-one mentioning that talentless f-wit Robbie Williams.
Apologies fat fingers/spell check on Mike v mix
I have picked it up.......
I give up Android wins on spell **** up check
Glee, I like Glee.
In the closet, my wife doesn't even know.
Look, I know, I know, it's really, really bad. I mean, I didn't ever mean to but, i just totally rate this early song from Coldplay.
It's great. Sadly, they were soon to become wetter than a bucket of water floating in the sea when it's pissing down, but this song is dope.
Oh, and I can't seem to not quite like David Gray 🙂
That album White Ladder is an Epic.
There is no guilt involved in listening, and utterly loving, every track on that album.
Mine’s Pink.
So is mine.. Well, mostly.
Not so much the bit at the end.
Dire Straits. There, I said it.
I must say, it's quite disturbing to have one's username in a thread title. Can it be changed please? I feel victimised.
Here's a popular song I really liked when it came out. Not sure, but it might've been the video..
Cliff Richard- but only devil woman. Flippin love that song but deliberately don’t add it to my starred list as I share it with my brother and don’t want him knowing.
DezB that reminds me of a very laddish holiday to Turkey when the original was being blasted out everywhere.
There is one song that is guaranteed to make me feel good, no matter what the situation, no matter the depth of the foul mood I might be in. That song is:
The Power of Love, by Huey Lewis and the News.
I love that song.
Hall and Oates.
I just can't help myself.
George Michael, when I'm in the van (crap radio, lots of road noise) it's usually George and I singing a duet with my headphones.
I've been known to 'accidentally' put on the Disco Station on Apple Music for a little while (12 hours in a single sitting if I'm home alone).
Yes, I'm a bit of a Swifty.
So Solid Crew might get more than 21 seconds worth on a certain playlist of mine...
I doubt Dua Lipa and London Grammar had "middle aged man" as their target audience at any planning meetings.
"Say Something" by Justin Timberlake is bloody brilliant!
That's just what's on my iPhone at the moment*
*Okay, plus a Dusty Springfield best of Album.
And maybe Drake...
And Elton John...
Frankly, I don't even know what's meant to be shameful any more ha ha.
Some of these aren't even remotely dirty or shameful!
Here's mine - unfortunately I use my real name on here 😳
I watched the first 6 seasons of American Idol in their entirety.
For moments like this:
That album White Ladder is an Epic
Agreed. Possibly the best cover version of Say Hello Wave Goodbye as well, if only it wasn't for Marc Almond covering his own song.
(Grown up) Hanson - love the harmonies
Got a couple that had years of piss taken if you owned up to, but in more recent years seem to have gone massively back up in the critical / credible stakes, so I don't know any more whether to be proud or ashamed of long term enthusiasm for:
Adam Ant / and the Ants
Gary Numan
Kelly Clarkson

I also watch Eastenders which means I don't know the meaning of the word "shame"
Hayseed Dixie. My dad loves a bit of banjo and we took him to see them live in my home town. It was ace!
The little bearded guy with the dungarees didn't stop all night. I bet he doesn't get arm pump...
Some of their stuff is a bit "out there"
I've seen Hayseed Dixie twice, they are brilliant. By god they can play.
I agree, they have so much energy you can't help but enjoy it. Everyone from old timers sat on the side to young un's dancing at the front all having a great time! Would love to see them live again. Some of their covers are better than the originals IMHO.
I don’t know the meaning of the word “shame”
Boba, this was obvious when you posted your first video.
Duh! I told myself not to comment and then, couldn’t help myself. Self imposed ban on this thread!
Embrace for me.
I don't know anyone else who admits to liking them! Off to see them at Rock City in a few weeks.
Got to be a bit of Tpau.
Adam & The Ants, Kings Of The Wild Frontier. Quality
oh yeah, Madonna’s Ray Of Light. Friend of mine allegedly (not his allegation, he tries to keep quiet about it) played guitar on that album, although I didn’t know it at the time
I guess I just don't really understand the concept, the only thing you should be ashamed of is not listening to stuff you like, or acting like you like stuff you don't.
Except possibly the Lostprophets, that's probably a fair one- even one of the band now refuses to listen to it
The Waterboys shameful? Say it isn't so.
Hayseed Dixie shameful? Why?
Marillion
Tangerine Dream
Crosby Stills and Nash - without the Young bit
