...that you listen to regularly.

Like any good hipster, I care about the music I listen to. I buy the latest Radiohead albums and look forward to whatever the Fleet Foxes are making. I know, I'm not proud.

However, I'll listen to anything I like to listen to. Which brings me to this:

Avril Lavigne is dumb as a box of rocks, and sort of emblematic of everything that is bad about the music industry. I vividly remember her mispronouncing David Bowie's name at a Grammy annunciation ceremony. (Bowie does not rhyme with Howie.) But I like that song, and I listen to it.

My other guilty pleasure is Lil' Kim's "How Many Licks?" I have exactly no reason to be listening to stuff like this, but I enjoy it anyway.

So what pops up on your playlist you're too shy to share with others? Maybe you've got an REO Speedwagon CD hidden behind your toilet, or a copy of Men Without Hat's "Safety Dance." Don't be afeared, we won't make fun of you... too much.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I own several CDs of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. Bought them back in the day when I was still young and dumb.

I also own several CDs of Creed, Nickelback, Limp Bizkit and Insane Clown Posse. Wasn't sure where I was heading with music in the 90s and 2000s but looking back I must say they are more embarrassing than Debbie & Tiffany. At least these two have 80s cheese appeal going for them.

I have a greatest hits collection CD by Tom Jones. I really enjoy it, but he's definitely cheesy. Other people always groan when I play him at work. Although, that can (sometimes) make it more enjoyable...

I have 6 downloads from the Pat Boone metal album.

A greatest hits collection CD of Will Smith...  :lookingup:

CD: Welcome to the Pleasuredome - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

CD: Pokemon the First Movie: Music from and inspired by the motion picture - Various Artists (Only because of the theme song...I do hail from the 90s after all...)

I own quite a few of his albums.

I also like this song, even though I shouldn't:

I cannot answer this question because I am not embarrassed by any of the songs I enjoy. I proudly sing along with Pat Boone's In a Metal Mood (I own the cd), as well as Barry Manilow's box set, Annette Funicello's box set, Fred Schneider's cd (which is admittedly pretty bad, but still kinda fun), and many others that have been known to send some lesser mortals into ear-covering-la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you frenzies.

"Dance in The Dark" by Lady Gaga.  However, I do openly admit to being a big fan of hers, but considering it shows up amongst like, my rap and heavy metal and punk collection, eh.

Tom Jones is great.  No need for embarrassment here!

Yeah, I had some ICP as well, and don't know what I was thinking either. I also had Everlast's Whitey Ford Sings the Blues around the same time. I can't stand either of them now. I think I was going through a rebellion against rock and roll because I wasn't liking what was going on with it at the time. Fortunately I found my way back.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Funny how tastes differ.  IMO this is the least embarrassing song in the thread.  Kinda wish I still had a copy of it.

I own Lil Kim's first album Hardcore. I wouldn't want any of her others but that one's a bit of a guilty pleasure. at least it was made back in 1996 when hip hop was still good... also Foxy Brown's first album from the same year

I also own some ICP which yeah is probably also the most embarrassing music I own. Still if you just feel angry and royally p**sed off, they can be just what you're looking for. I also owned some TLC, Bell Biv Devoe and other mainstream rap stuff in the past I'm now embarrassed to say.

Bel Biv DeVoe is not embarrassing at all Jase.
