What do you listen to when no one else can hear it


Everyone has something they like to listen to, but won't play it when their friends are around for fear of getting abused. What are your recordings that you don't play for friends, but will put on when no one else is around.

To break the ice, I'll go first.

The Carpenters - from their last LP that came out right after Karen died - "Make believe it's your first time."

Don't be a coward, fess up!

I'm not sure I want to hear this much honesty! :)

But seriously, When I'm alone, I go the other way from the previous posters. I put on Ned's Atomic Dustbin!

Kill Your Televison!!!!

Enjoy,

So this is the second half of the thread 'Guilty Pleasures'...Well, my wife likes to listen to half of whats listed on that thread, and I didnt realize some of it was embarrassing, so...
My family adapts to most of what I play from reggae to bluegrass to jazz to country to rock to just wierd.
I can take the Carpenters but I usually leave when she plays Barbara Streisand. Ouch! Sorry.
I will spare my wife heavy stuff like King Crimson 'Larks Tounges in Aspec' or Praxis 'Transmutation', maybe very old Zappa....not that much she cant take. She seems to enjoy 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' by Flaming Lips, but probably not as much as I do. I enjoy playing the Dean Martin albums her mother left her. My kids never seem to be saying "I hate that music".
Maybe I have it easy, I think we are blissfully ignorant of embarrassment.
...Ok, I came up with one thats only appropriate for close friends or for weeding out the hardcores at the later stages of a party : Poor Dumb Bastards, I think out of Houston. Wonderfully offensive, unfit for any audience. Any Bastards fans out there? Expose yourself now.
Boy, this is easy. I've got lots of material that offends fellow music group members my age.

In Rock we have:

(1) The Streets, "Original Pirate Material"
(2) Eminem, "The Eminem Show"
(3) Kate Bush, "The Whole Story"
(4) Bob Dylan, "Time Out of Mind"
(5) Bjork, "Medúlla"
(6) The White Stripes, "White Blood Cells"

In Jazz we have:
(1) Carla Bley, "Heavy Heart"
(2) Charlie Hayden, "The Ballad of the Fallen"
(3) Miles Davis, "Music from Siesta" (Marcus Miller)

Classical:
(1) Carl Orff, "Music for Children"
(2) Mady Mesplé, "Any"
(3) Karlheinz Stockhausen. "Kontakte, for piano, percussion & electronic sounds"

Blues:
Junior Wells, "Hoodoo Man Blues"
Bobby Blue Bland, "Two Steps from the Blues" (Original LP)
Jesse Fuller, "The Monkey and the Engineer"
Easy to say for me:
Most of the collection I have is for myself alone to listen and no one else except some pop crap that I could sometimes turn on to please my guests and friends...
