Come clean! What is some music you listen to that you probably shouldn't? What is some music that you know isn't that good, yet you listen to it and enjoy it anyway?

---

I hate Euro Trance/Dance, with a passion. That stuff is so cheesy and lacking any substance or originality. Especially the Italian stuff.

And yet there is still one Italian dance album that I enjoy very much and am ashamed to listen to...

So cheesy, a lot of it sounds the same, and ffs the vocalist is being vocoded (and possibly auto-tuned) throughout 100% of the album! But I just love it. I'm sure every single one of you have heard the first track off it, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". I'll have you know that that song is one of the few I don't like and don't go back and listen to. There are, however, a few tracks that I really enjoy.

Europop (as a matter of fact, me and a few particular friends will bump this song very loud in the car. It's quite sad... but also super )
Now Is Forever (according to iTunes, it is my #6 most-played song with 101 plays; according to last.fm, it is my #4 most-played song with 106 plays)

And one that I have pop into my head every once in a while is
Silicon World

Honorable mentions to Move Your Body, Another Race, and Your Clown.

I can't believe I'm confessing this... DJ Father in Electronic Heaven, please forgive me.

Everyone always asks me why I have 25 songs from Nat King Cole on my iPod.

I like some of Britney Spears' and the Backstreet Boys' material from the late 90's/2000 when Max Martin was writing their songs. The guy was a pop genius.

Can't go wrong with "Barbie Girl" either.

The 90's ruled.

Lots of people around me seem to think I'm weird when I listen to albums by Keane and Jack Johnson - but they're pretty damn good as far as I'm concerned.

from their first album, Hopes and Fears

from In Between Dreams
