Show tunes

Drum Corps music

Britney Spears

oh God, I forgot about Faded! I love that song!

And I will second Achtungbaby...u2 is NOT cheesy!

Barry Manilow, the Bee Gees, Neil Diamond, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Hootie and the Blowfish are guilty pleasures. I am not sure if they are corny or uncool. :p Anyway most people in the world are a little corny and uncool at one time or another. Or maybe that's just me. lol!

U2 is cool! :cool:

Styx. All of it. But especially Cyclorama.

That's right. I'm a Styx fan and I am not ashamed.

I am so impressed that a guy actually admitted that, and hey I think it's sexy when a guy knows his NSYNC songs. :cool:

My apologies... I didn't mean to say that U2 is cheesy or uncool, because they are definitely NOT! It's just that a lot of my friends are so unfamiliar with anything not off "Beautiful Day" (and then, they're only familiar with that song and Elevation), and I get ripped on for my listening to War and Rattle and Hum all the time... I'm going to listen now...

BTW, LOVE Toad the Wet Sprocket!

Dashboard Confessional, my friends give me so much crap for liking it cuz they say its girly and sad, but for some reason,i think it's good and i listen to it constantly.

how on EARTH could I have forgotten these two??!

It's sad...because today I got goosebumps from listening to the Cadet's 2000 show "We are the Future." How pathetic! lol

I totally have you all beat...

I own (and frequently rock out to) a Brady Bunch cd. My friends and I are all into it...the first song is the theme song, and then its just Barry Williams talking. "Hi, this is Barry Williams, the star of paramount picture's hit tv show, the brady bunch. All six of us brady kids (and then they each say their real name) and me, Barry Williams..."

It's funny, but I think you have to hear it to appreciate it. My personal fave is this song called "Sugar Shop" where they all sound like perverts. Greg sounds like a dirty old man going "candy...ive got such a sweet tooth...candy...i'd eat lots of you girl" and then marsha's all "candy...cherry lollypop now...sugar shopping all through the night"

I'm embarrasing myself so I'm going to go, but that's definitely the lamest cd I have. Makes one hell of a drunken show though.

ohhh, i completely blanked on that! i used to own the tape, but it has since disappeared..so don't be ashamed, you're not alone :) altho i must say..after hearing their version of "american pie" i want to puncture my eardrums

Along with late '70s and '80s music, which I grew up with, I'll hafta admit I also inherited a liking for show tunes and musical soundtracks from my late grandfather.

My personal preferences lately on the show tunes end are the remastered and expanded James Bond film soundtracks recently released on CD. Some of the better ones: Goldfinger (adds four tracks that were only on the British release) Thunderball (nearly complete score - just wouldn't fit on one CD), You Only Live Twice (complete score), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (nearly complete - same as Thunderball - all of it wouldn't fit), Diamonds Are Forever (complete score, including alternate cues), and Live And Let Die (complete score). The rest of the remastered soundtracks are cleaned up versions of the original LP masters - the original music was either unavailable at the time or simply lost.

Other soundtracks I like listening to are Boogie Nights and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion - both films spawned additional CDs of music from the film.

Sorry, with few exceptions, I don't quite identify with '90s music or the stuff played today.

Yep, I would have to agree. Also, I think we all know that when a bunch of girls get together and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" or any old Madonna song comes on, we all grab the closest thing to a fake microphone and start jamming. ;)

i own the Baby Sitters Club movie soundtrack and the Sweet Valley High tv show soundtrack. you havent heard corny until you give those cds a listen. but they are so hard to find now that i refuse to give them up.

I was recently out with some friends-5 females in their 20's. We were driving & somehow Vanilla Ice came up in conversation. Without hesitation EVERYONE started singing "Ice Ice Baby". They sang the entire song without missing a word. I was seriously LMAO!

Hootie and the Blowfish.

Makes me happy. Dont know why. Reminds me of being a Freshamn all over again. What a great summer that was. Always reminds me of the start of fall semester.
