Bands you like but you shouldn't

Just 'rediscovered' my Erasure collection.

Some of them tunes are fan-twatting-tastic!

A little respect (please)

Nothing wrong with Erasure. I went to see them last year – campest show I've ever seen!!

Westlife
Take That

(still harbouring fantasies of being asked to be the new "fifth" member of either)

Best gig I ever went to – about 1989 at Manchester Apollo 🙂

the Sweet
Suzi Quatro
Neil Diamaond

Cheeky Girls

By whose standards are we measuring "shouldn't"?? 😀

Judging by the responses so far I'm not ashamed of any of the bands I perhaps "should" be 😆

Manowar!!!!

"Blow your speakers"
"All Men Play on 10"

the list of manowar songs that just shouldn't be heard is endless but it just seems to hit the spot on occasion.

SteelPanther!

Horslips

La Roux!

And it's got nowt to do with my pavlovian response to ginger girls, oh no….

Steel Panther are ace too!

Kid Creole live, just go!

coldplay

Radiohead

the saturdays
🙂

Dire Straits..

according to my wife my entire collection

neil is ok and so is Erasure

I have been known to listen to Leonard Cohen,,,,,,,,,,,,shall I get my coat

Supertramp? 🙄

Red Box

Erasure at Belfast Ulster Hall 88 or 89 was my first ever show. I went as my elder sister was ill and she couldn't get a refund for the ticket. I went with her best friend, who happened to be the foxiest wench at our school at that time. We continued to "go out" for six months which was great for me and terribly annoying for the Gaelic football jocks in the year above me at school.

Coldplay
A-ha

Girls Aloud, saw them in Liverpool last year at th Echo Arena. Tickets were Christmas presents for her.

young dave, you should like radiohead they're immense. go have a cold shower and think again.

Gary Glitter – before he was exposed as a paedo his Christmas tours were legendary

Johnny cash

Coheed and Cambria

Lotus eaters
Icehouse
flog of seagulls
china crisis
heaven 17
Icicle works

****, I'm getting old 🙁

Another one for Girls Aloud. Perfect pop. Love it!

Voodoochild, the main reason you shouldn't like most of your list is cos their time has past! Move on man! (China Crisis were absolute shit though) 🙂

VooDoochild, New Romantic?!, shouldn't your list be a lot longer than that? 😉

Gary Glitter – before he was exposed as a paedo his Christmas tours were legendary

Nothing wrong with Gary Glitter's music.
Gary Glitter was never convicted of being a paedo anyway. Paul Gadd was. (except in the press)

Listening to Husker Du just now- brilliant

And why shouldn't you like Husker Du?

Hansen

And why shouldn't you like Husker Du?

Your absolutely right- you should like them!

Jeez, most of these are hardly embarrassing at all. I however have both of
Taylor Swift's albums (and her Christmas EP) 😆

Absoluteley being romantic here.
Apart from flog of seagulls, I didn't had any records of these bands.
Just reminds me of an era when music seem to be so much better then.

……and eh, DezB, we've moved on indeed. 😉

I am pleased to see Simply Red havent made this list 🙂

Excellent thread.
After reading this first time I logged on to Last FM and spent a hour listening to Erasure, Human League, Howard Jones, Yazoo etc.
Retrotastic synthpop

Eath wind & fire now. Thanks roper

Girls aloud, sugarbabes, hanna montana, JLS, Justin Timberlake you name it, I'll hum along. In my defence I have a 9 year old daughter and after all, all my stuff is "sooooooo boring", and has no style whatevvvvvveeeeer.
