Let's focus away from top ten lists for a bit and maybe I can get y'all to really think. Are there any bands or types of music you like but wouldn't admit it to your friends because htey might think you strange or uncool? I'm not embarrassed to talk about my own tastes, because most of it is either strange or uncool or both. I never cared about what was popular, even as a teenager when everybody was into the whole disco thing and I was just discovering all kinds of music. Some of the stuff I like might be too long, or ahve too much going on in it, or might just be too weird to listen to compared to your usual stuff played on hit radio. I'd give y'all a list, but I just can't think of one at this time. So I'll just pose hte question for now.

I always pride myself on discovering new talent and listening to my own thing. I think that's actually cool, I think what's considered uncool, at least by many, is listening to the mainstream stuff. It's more cool now to go out of your way and dig up a no name band that could be the next big thing and actually discover them before anyone else does. :) Just a thought, may be I'm wrong.
People bug me on being a Britney Spears fan (whilst I can't stand most of the rest of the pack, Alicia Keys e.g. I just don't like, I respect her, she's got talent and can sing and play piano great but I just don't like her songs at all), but Britney :) oh yeah, she rocks my socks off <grin> and, no, I'm not embarressed, even if I perhaps should be.
cheers

I like to check out college radio sometimes if something current and unknown strikes my fancy. I do like indie music. But most of the unusual stuff I ahve is from the Seventies and before and perhaps as late as the Eighties. It's not necessarily deep underground and obscure, but it appeals to a smaller group of people than mainstream stuff does.

I like a lot of the stuff from the 70s and 80s.
