I can enjoy the following:
Uptown Girl by whoever...I think it works
Summer the first time Bobby Goldsboro
mostly anything by Banamarama
some Bucks Fizz
do I go on...I hope not!
Awww, please do
Summer The First Time was awesome, the one of his that really makes me cringe was "Honey" or something like.
"Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel (more recently done by Westlife, not a bad cover by today's standards either).
And yes, Bananarama are a good call.

Well you asked for it...so here it is, my ultimate........for the last couple of years I have organised a party at my daughter's with my two sons present as well...on Eurovision Song Contest night!
I print off the songs and artist info.,organise a scoring method and encourage ribald comments about each entry. Thus me and my offpring choose our own winner!
Beat that!!
Oh, by the way, some of your tracks are cool...Rah Band,Meri Wilson, Rupert Holmes and Sheila B ( wasn't Spacer sampled 10 years or so ago? ).
 A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Rah Band is awesome. Clouds across the moon is a brilliant song.

I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me ... it was that kind of thing, "artists" sampling records that seemed invariably better than the new version, were in that turned me from dance (and I did use to be really into dance, soul, funk, jazz funk and so on) to nu-metal.

True but it's a guilty pleasure because so few seem to understand it, they look at you like you're a geek.

I didn't feel guilty about this before, but I do now!
Billy Ocean....Love Really Hurts, Carribean Queen...I love 'em BUT just read an interview with the man today and he believes EVERYTHING in the Bible from page 1 to whatever number the last page is!
Do I burn his cd's?

I'd guess that was fairly common in the soul music community ... I mean I liked Luther VanDross, I like Alexander O'Neal and I certainly liked some of Billy Ocean's stuff when I was a soulboy (and lost more besides). I mean, just to put it in perspective I like Augustus Pablo and Steel Pulse ... brilliant music but they're always on about Jah (Jah guide us, Jah give us victory, Babylon is falling 'n all that), I mean it's absolute bollocks but the music was so, so good. Rastafarians do seem to have a huge chip on their shoulders, thinking Babylon (Western Civilisation) owes them something ... I 'n I tink Rastaman be wrong man.

Plenty of Soul Music, R&B, and rap musicians are religious. Some started their careers in church, some our now ministers. Who cares, as long as they make good music.

I know what you mean ... I like "Dance Dance" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs" amongst others, I also like a pick 'n mix of other nu metal bands that are oriented more at teens like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Elliot Minor, Paramore, MCR. Hell I even like a track of McFly's ("Five Colours"). I wouldn't buy them or anything like that but I can't deny I don't mind humming along to them and even singing occasionally ... 'spose it comes from having teenage daughters.

Well on that matter, what about the following question.
Hypothetically speaking in an alternative universe if Hitler was a musician and made the most amazing music ever made and it sounded totally awesome - would you still like the music but still despise him (obviously) because he was a totally evil shit?
Or would you just not be able to bring yourself to like anything made by him and bypass the fact it 'sounded good'?
To simplify it: Could you like music made by someone you despised, and were a criminal or war criminal to the degree of murder or even mass murder - IF the music was just incredibly amazing?
Could you compartmentalize like that or would it just be way too much?
Very bizarre question I know, but I think about shit like this all the time lol (I know, I know, - I'm weird). Been thinking about this 1 for a while - can you separate your musical ( or whatever) etc, tastes from your hatred from the person who created it - because they're evil?
For example, If your favourite musicians and bands killed people or whatever - would you ditch their music too or just them and leave the music entirely separate from them?
I mean the main problem for me would be thinking that "THIS music came out of THAT sick and twisted person's MIND".
Perhaps this could do with a separate thread of some kind but perhaps be a bit more general a topic? Perhaps to do with compartmentalization on the matter or whatever?
