i think that savage is one of the best eurythmics albums ever with some of their strongest, rockingest songs. tears for fears, at their height were like gods to me and i totally wanted to do roland orzabal, curt smith and their new wave hair in a three-way if i could.

i don't hate myself for loving CDs that other people may think is cheesy. i mean, ashlee simpson, hilary duff, high school musical, i like them, so who cares if it's not high-falutin' music :) you gotta stand by your music, give it some l.o.v.e... :)

other than the pet shop boys i think any of that would fit nicely in my playlist. although it's just recently that i can stand aha again after living with you for a year. but i see jellyfish is sadly missing.

A friend of mine she cries every time she goes and see Sufjan.

I have no shame. I love all my music. And I don't think you have bad 'taste' either.

Nite nite.

And just what is wrong with Sufjan's Illinois? It rocks. I listen to it all the time.

Hrm...going through my iTunes now. Selecting highest rated and most played.

Oh dear.

Pink's Missundaztood
The L Word Soundtrack
Indigo Girls' Rites Of Passage

Apparently, I'm a lesbian.

I love Petshopboys. But then, I love Dusty Springfield. How OLD am I? I don't even know who half those artists are. As a matter of fact, I still call them ALBUMS!!! Not only that, but I have a turntable. OMG. So, what, exactly, IS itunes?

Sorry, I can't mock you, since several of my favorite albums are on your list (Hedwig, Rufus, Eurythmics...). However, I hate myself for loving Whitesnake's album "Slide it In." (Don't mock me, I grew up in the 80's in the boonies, where/when hair bands were cool.)

1,4,5,8 and 9 fantastic.
Memorial Beach one of my all-time fave 'depression' albums (especially the title track and tracks 3,4 and 9).
PSBs are Gods in my eyes. Even when they're a little short of the mark, they're still so much better than so much of the competition. Plus Neil just Exec-Produced the next Rufus, so the circle is complete 8)
The Shatner album is the Ben Folds produced one, right? Ben's another of my heroes, though I've yet to get this album
And I love the Savage album too.
Are you my American alter-ego?

Pet Shop Boys, Rufus, A-ha...these are brilliant bands and nothing to be ashamed of. I have one MAJOR guilty indulgence - Ultimate Manilow.

I love every song on The Bangles' A Different Life. Ain't ashamed to admit it either. Want me to sing?

Captain & Tenille's Greatest Hits. I've always been a sucker for "Muskrat Love."

I LOVE 'Savage'. It was even my record of the month back in November.

You might have a point w/William Shatner though.

anyway my love/hate album, after perusing my iTunes liberry: Bananarama 'True Confessions'.

William Shatner?

I owned and love(d) Billy Joel's "The Stranger."

I'm with you on the CASH American recordings... Nothing less than brilliant...

I have no idea what album this is from, but . . . when I pick up my 9-mo-old son from daycare, as I walk back to the bus stop, as we cross a paticular street, I often find myself singing to him, "West / End / Ave, doo doo doo da doo da doo da doo . . . "

Even Now, by Barry Manilow.

I am a sucker for Jump, Shout, Boogie.

*sigh*

"Bad taste" is a matter of opinion. :)

"Elemental" is a great album, and I agree that "Savage" is one of the best Eurythmics LPs.

Everything has its purpose. Even William Shatner.

Hey now. Manilow rocks.
