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!

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...
Kublakhan, I saw Kenny G in concert, I hang my head in shame. The guy who talked me into seeing Kenny G than told me to see the Violent Femmes and also KD Lang (before they were popular) and I missed them because Kenny G was so redundant I did not know what to expect. I wish I could go back in time for those two concerts...

back to the thread:

Portishead - Dummy

Can - any of their stuff

good call AlbertPorter on Carla Bley also Phillip Glass for that matter...

I know someone who thinks I am braindamaged from drugs for listening to this stuff - so he misses half my collection
Guys,

Portishead... how can you listen to that alone?? I have to be horizontal with some females for that one!

Albert..;. Kate Bush is ALWAYS OK to listen to. Tell you're friends to get a clue if they don't tolerate it! And Junior Wells! Love him! He used to come through a little blues bar I used to frequent in St Louis years ago....WOW could he drink!

For mme it's Public Enemy, the wife hates them, and the Wffle House Family!
