People would be surprised to know that you own what albums?

[mvd]

BTW, these aren't supposed to be guilty pleasure choices.

Toby Keith CDs (except for the newest two and How Do You Like Me Now)

[mvd]

1. One kick

:kick:

[Khephra]

2. I really don't know what would surprise people here on DU

At least the ones who have been around here for some time. I think I've established that I have pretty eclectic tastes. Maybe Adam Ant?

[Khephra]

7. I'll change my answer

It might surprise people that I have over 30 cds of classical music, but I have posted in classical music threads before, so it might not.

12. Adam Ant? bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Just kidding...I paid to see him once in 78 or 79 :)

[Susang]

17. I used to love Adam Ant

Unfortunately, I think he's now institutionalized with severe schizophrenia. He went off in a pub in London and got arrested, they found out he wasn't taking his meds. Really sad. :-(

[Forkboy]

18. Wow,that's too bad

I heard nothing about that.I'm in the dark about everything lately :shrug:

[Susang]

27. It was a couple of years ago

Here's a link to a story about it, if you want to check it out. Adam Ant is now literally the poster-child(man) of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, working to try to erase the stigma from mental illness.

25. Some of Adam Ant is cool, nothing to laugh about (IMHO, but I'm weird...

For I am the HYPNOTOAD! </ego> )

[Maestro]

3. I see nothing wrong

with NIN or RHCP but Britney, Eminem and TK? Whoa!

[mvd]

8. Not a Britney fan

I just think her newest is better than usual.

As for the others, I'm proud of my taste.. I could just as easily say whoa about yours. Music is subjective.

[flamingyouth]

4. Ordo Virtuum - Sequentia

I love Hildegard of Bingen's work.

[Maestro]

5. I am a metal head by heart

but I do have some Communards, Pet Shop Boys, Dead or Alive (Even saw them in concert at the Stark Club in Dallas) and Erasure and really like Depeche Mode. Oh and a girlfriend got me to buy Rick Astely.

[mongo]

6. almost every album by Steeley Span

British folk rock group. Plays Electified versions of traditional english folk music.

[samwisefoxburr]

9. My favorite artist is Marilyn Manson but I also listen to Yanni...

...go figure.

[Forkboy]

10. I have cases of records from the 70's and 80's

Everything from Kiss records and other glam crap like Poison and Bon Jovi to Styx,The Eagles etc to unknown metal bands like Tension.All kinds of junk that I wouldn't listen to now (well ok,sometimes I can still listen to Kiss Alive).

[Dr Fate]

15. "Lady" by Styx may be the most awesomely bad tune of all time

14. I second Steely Dan- it's the only 70's FM format "Rock" worth a damn.

Otherwise, my collection is pretty ecletic & snobby.

[CO Liberal]

19. "As Time Goes By" - Jimmy Durante

Also "greatest hits" CDs by Bobby Vinton, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Boddy Holly, and Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.

In my vinyl collection, I have albums by the Four Seasons, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Dean Martin, Frankie Lane, Perry Como, and Dean Martin.

21. No albums, a 78 of the Too Fat Polka :) n/m

[BrotherBuzz]

26. I've got a rendition of 'Too Fat Polka'

by Arthur Godfrey. Hmmm, it doesn't get played much. ;)

[Reciprocity]

28. And speaking of Polka.

Hey do any of you guys watch Big Joes Polka Show on RFD-TV?

[mvd]

22. More of mine

Dirty Vegas - self-titled (limited like)
Lamya - Learning From Falling (a relatively unknown name in R&B, which isn't my favorite genre - and the album is quite good and inventive - it would be even better if she had a stronger voice)
System Of A Down - Steal This Album!
Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals (the only album of his I like - the other albums seem like NIN ripoffs - this album has NIN influence, but it isn't as blatent)

[AlCzervik]

23. Dean Martin's greatest hits

Can't help it, Dean is cool.
If i were a carpenter---various artists, it's awesome.

[Reciprocity]

24. New Age

The Dead Can Dance. (Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry )

[BrotherBuzz]

29. My extensive collection of Broadway musicals (and movie sound tracks)

and the fact that I know all the lyrics to every song. It absolutely drives people crazy when I play them in their presence and start singing. To bad I can't carry a note to save my life or my friends might actually enjoy the fine music.
