Bands that people say are shocked to know you listen to

[Winmar]

Midnight Oil and Hunters and Collectors are the main ones. If anyone knew I liked REM they might be surprised too......

 

[Blitzkrieg]

When I say "In Flames" or "Death" and they start backing away, I just smile.

 

[Arcane]

The Bangles!

[Goreripper]

[Spiff]

The Bangles!! Still haven't bought their new album yet - anyone know if it's worth getting?

 

[Arcane]

The Bangles!! ! Still haven't bought their new album yet - anyone know if it's worth getting?

Of course - its great, easily as good as their early stuff with some nice modern day production.

 

[Spiff]

Groovy. I keep forgetting that it's out so I keep forgetting to buy it. Shall do next time I go CD shopping, though!

 

[Southy]

There is actually alot of good names being throen about here...not much that I dont like

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I still get the shit taken out of me for owning all the Ben Folds Five albums... hey, I played piano for 5 years!

 

[Spiff]

Ben Folds Five!!

I like a lot of classical music, which generally makes people raise an eyebrow when I tell them.

If they also know I listen to metal, I either get two eyebrows raised, or just the one raised twice as high.

Oh, I also like half of what I've heard of Amiel, which is her two singles. I can (and have) listened to Lovesong over and over and over again for half an hour before I decide to move on. I think it's the only "pop" single I've ever bought. Her second single isn't much though.

 

[Goreripper]

I like Bjork.

 

[KoichCPA]

I like Weezer.

 

[Goreripper]

Geek-rock!

 

[Wrathchild]

I forgot to put Suzanne Vega on my list, and Pink Floyd.

Arcane and Spiff: I didn't know The Bangles were back together, let alone recording! Is it the same lineup?

W

 

[Goreripper]

I believe it is.

 

[KoichCPA]

I forgot to put Suzanne Vega on my list,

Songs about Domestic Violence are metal

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Buddy Holly by Weezer rocks

Maybe it's got nothing to do with the song, I just love the filmclip!
