Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to:

@czarivey - I agree with you about Quincy and the quality of the MJ recordings.  Highly polished, excellent "product"...BUT (recognizing the irony here) for me, it ain't got no soul!  Lack of a shared cultural experience, maybe.  

@gonetotc - I really wasn't offended and do think I get where you are coming from starting the thread.  Kind of fun from that perspective especially given good dissenting commentary.  A couple of worthy suggestions made already for addition (Abba and Kenny Loggins).  How about Neil Diamond?  Barry Manilow?

@Sevs - re MJ, always nice to have comrades.  Never downloaded Lady Gaga or Kanye.  Would be worried about an emergency laundry drill myself.  Barry Manilow is another like that for me (though I remember liking "Mandy" when it was getting AM airplay but don't tell anyone).

re Lady Gag Me - Avoid her in general and specifically during the SuperBowl.  Although, my wife (whose opinion I respect), based on that appearance, says she's got some pipes..."She's like Madonna (read: talent for self-promotion) but can really sing."  Hmmm...maybe add Madonna to the list.   

David Gates (Bread) had a phenomenal voice. To paraphrase somebody else, "I'll listen to anything. Once." I actually enjoy hearing some pop radio fodder over a good system. Check out Crystal Gayle's track "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue." 

Boney M

I will admit at 56 years of age to listening most of those in my more melancholy moods. Seal and Croft was big in my teen years, early Bee Gees I liked until disco entered the scene. Davis Gates had a wonderful voice. Did't do much Fogelberg. The rest of my days were filled with Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Tull etc. until I discovered blues...

Oh yeah Stain’ Alive, no joking great song.

I’m over being laughed out for my music preferences my taste is across the board but at least I cant be laughed at for not having an open mind/ heart to different kinds of music. There are those who seem to listen to the same type of music over and over, boring. That would drive me nuts.
