Eye of the Tiger.
Jimmy Eat World
Lincoln Park.
Vanilla Ice
A lot of bubble gum pop.

ETA: Dead on Arrival! Everyone hates it on Rock Band, but sometimes I make us play it and then totally deny it was me. They all know anyway.

I have no problem admitting to my musical diversity. There’s room for Slipknot AND Jim Croce, Eminem AND Culture Club, The White Stripes AND the Dixie Chicks, AC/DC AND Hank Williams in my collection. Good music is good music.

It’s easier in life to be honest in all areas of your life. No stress, friend.

Hmm…maybe Alvin and the Chipmunks (old school), specifically this song. I pretend to be annoyed when they turn up in the rotation and say “turn this crap off” but am secretly rocking out.

Allllllllvin!!!! (You aren’t alone, I love the old school chipmunks.)

I secretly liked that MmmBop song by those brothers ranging in age from 4 to 8. I am very open about my love for Men Without Hats and their tour de force single Safety Dance.

Ha…Men Without Hats! I have that on vinyl!

I can’t tell you that. If I were to tell the public then it wouldn’t be a secret love anymore.

SoapChef's avatar

Barry Manilow, Kenny G and a certain Richard Marx song.

peedub's avatar

I really don’t know why everyone publicly hates this song.

Knotmyday's avatar

I won’t pretend to hate music I like. Don’t care if other folks do, either.

SoapChef's avatar

@ peedub Good one! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Thank you btw, haven’t laughed that hard in quite awhile

Jeruba's avatar

Every now and then I surprise myself by not disliking a country tune that crosses my path. Not pretending—just general avoidance of the genre. I can get interested in almost any kind of music long enough to ask a fan what makes it good, even if I wouldn’t listen to it all the time.

Confessing; why would I keep my tastes in music secret? Who could possibly care?

@peedub i have no clue, but i lurve it.

“The Flame” by Cheap Trick

Wine3213's avatar

Definitely Fall Out Boy. I also listen to Nsync and the Backstreet Boys. Any sappy pop and r&b. Hip-pop(really commercial rap), ringtone rap, and last but not least T-Pain.

Panic at the Disco…....................just kidding ;)

I have to agree with dale and gail on this one. I’m not ashamed of the things that I enjoy. That said, I tend to like a little bit of everything. My musical tastes range from some Backstreet Boys to Marilyn Manson, to everything in between. If it makes you feel good, don’t be ashamed of it.

wilhel1812's avatar

Actually i’m pretty public about my taste in music.

elchoopanebre's avatar

Some rap.

I publically condemn all rap but I secretly kind of like some of the beats.

Shhhhhhh…..don’t tell anyone!

SoapChef's avatar

Okay, you guys convinced me, free at last! I’m out, I’m proud and I will never be ashamed of my musical preferences again! walks off singing, “Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you…”

EmpressPixie's avatar

I’m no stranger to looooooove. You know the rules, and SO do I. You would not get this from any other guy.

SoapChef's avatar

Omigosh Empress, that is priceless! ROFL You have made my day, thanks!

Trance24's avatar

I don’t hide my music likes and dislikes there is no point in it.

gailcalled's avatar

(Hrrm. Speaking of “points.” a period after “dislike” would make meaning clearer.^^)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

I try to love all embarrassing music publically in a “I’m such a baller, I can like the Spice Girls and Flo-Rida, and it’s totally legit” way.

I am not TOO keen on letting people know that I’ll get down on a little disco sometimes…

Zen's avatar

If I tell you, it won’t be a secret. Okay… I’m with @SuperMouse
