Artist or band you like but...

Sometimes when I'm home alone I stick on Fall Out Boy' second album and pretend I'm 9 years old again.

I used to be embarrassed that I was a fan of Nickelback, but hell they do no frills hard rock songs and are great live.

I'm not really embarrassed that I like Nickelback. Their songs might not be the most thought provoking or deep, but after a long day at work taking care of children and using my upbeat, kid-appropriate nanny talk, blasting Burn it to the Ground is pretty fun!

Well my ipod contains full discographies of: lady gaga, beyonce, katy perry and random boyband stuff but I am frankly more ashamed to admit I quite like Hurts. Especially this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ1v1pMdIoQ&ob=av2e
Seriously. I like it a lot.

Hurts are brilliant!

I think they are a bit too inspired by depeche mode (which I love!) But yeah, their album is great dancing material!

Hootie & the Blowfish. Probably because my mom played their album on repeat in the mid-90s and it grew on me, hah. And Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and a bit of Coldplay here and there. Viva la Vida is such a fantastic album, no shame.

Slightly more embarrassingly, the first 2 or 3 Good Charlotte albums. They were one of my favorite bands when I was 12, and I'm too nostalgic for my own good.

My god! This band was getting lots of radio airplay back in the mid 90's. I still got the CD....original "pressing".....how much do you think it's worth on ebay?

Their 3 biggest hits:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln6WQqRDrCo&feature=relmfu

Yes, that Pitbull song.
Plus this one haunts me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2up_Eq6r6Ko and CRAP I think I like this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LefQdEMJP1I&feature=relmfu What is going on!


Also, flag waving Kid Rock fan here. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT STEPH I SAID IT!! :O I mean, I haven't bought an album in a few years but I saw him again this past summer for the first time in awhile and I liked it. Plus he posted my article link on his site (or his people did) and I appreciated that immensely.

I saw Limp Bizkit more times than I should say in public. To quote myself when I used to drunk defend them: "Look. I know Fred Durst isn't the John Lennon of our time, but dammit if I don't have a great time at their shows."

Bwaha, I see at least five copies of that album in the used section for $4 every time I go to a record store. And I think it's hilarious to see a young(er) Keith Olbermann in the Only Wanna Be With You video!

love kid rock, always been one of my favourite artists and never really been embarrased,when people have not liked him and poked fun i have put his albums on and they became fans. main reason im such a big fan is because as a big fan of all music he creates abit of everything rock,hip hop, metal, country, blues etc. this is class too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM9qn-DIeY4

My god there are a lot of Kid Rock fans floating around here.

I'll go on record right now and say that So Hott is one of my favorites by Kid Rock. And yes I loved it when pyro predictably blasted during the chorus at the concert.

I've got disco on my iPod. Plus Backstreet Boys and Lady Gaga. And Robin Sparkles.

nickelback? NICKELBACK?! Sweet jesus...I'll give you Good Charlotte, hell, I'll even give you Limp Bizkit, but this is too much. For shame, people, for shame. That shit isn't even music, it's like my ears are being raped. They oughta be sentenced to prison for crimes against man. In my mind, there are certain genres of music, rock, punk, etc...nickelback falls under "good ol' fashioned rapin' music". SERIOUSLY what else could they be good for?!

this takes the cake, imo.

For me, I'd say Coldplay and Dashboard Confessional. Especially Coldplay. I got a lot of shit from friends for liking them.

As has been said, yes the lyrics are stupid, but they play riffs loud and if you've had a long hard day and just want to be brainless for awhile blasting out their songs is great.

Ever seen them live? Because they can seriously put on a show.

And btw they are a lot better then Kid Rock & Coldplay .

Gah! I love AvA. Wasn't expecting to see them on here but I can see where you come from, their sound(s) aren't easy to love. Certainly took me some time before fully enjoying their albums.

Coldplay is one of the biggest rock bands in the world, and Chirs Martin in particular is an excellent writer... You even just admitted that Nickelback's lyrics are stupid so how do you listen to them? And yes I used to work at a concert venue and unfortunately had to work one of their concerts. Lots of pyrotechnics, and I could have sworn they just kept playing the same song over and over again...

I feel bad that after all these years, I still haven't looked into them AT ALL. I've heard one song and that's it.

Nickelback are also one of the biggest rock bands in the world, so that kind of mutes that point. I do admit Nickelbacks lyrics are stupid, but that doesn't mean I can't listen to them...sometimes there is more to music then the words. It's like I have different bands, for different needs. I'm not a massive Nickelback fan or anything, but they do put on a great show and sometimes their no-nonsense rock is a good tonic that's all.

As for Coldplay, some of their songs are good, but I just find them dull as a band, both live and on record. Although their recent trick with the flashing wristbands was one of the coolest things I've seen at a gig. It's all opinion.

If were a blink fan you will probably enjoy them. Just pick a couple of songs and listen - it's all very similar

Vocally it's similar. Musically not a whole lot. There's lots of spacey stuff and intricate instrumentals. Songs are very monumental (and long) and arena-esque though.

Hah, I actually meant pick an AvA song, and those will all be fairly similar to each other, but I can see why you thought otherwise

^ of the handful of AvA songs i've heard, i've enjoyed the music and thought i might like the song until he starts singing...just cant handle that nasally voice. ruins what might otherwise be an enjoyable band for me.

Ahh, ok. Yeah, I agree on that part then.
