Is It So Wrong..?

to love Neil Diamond? OR Amy Winehouse?

Who are you embarrassed to admire?

I like Barry Manilow but I'm not embarrassed about it.

I like much Euro pop, in the finest Abba tradition.

And yet, I'm not gay.

There aren't any artists that I am ashamed of liking, but I'm sure some people might think I'm a dag for doing so.

Oh boy - the closet door swings wide today.

Here goes.... I like Karen Carpenter.

Every crush has a theme song and "Close to You" was the one for my second big childhood crush (5th grade). Karen Jackson, I think.

And while I'm narcing on myself, might as well finish meself off. Toss in some John Denver and yeah, I like Barry Manilow's Mandy. THat was a great crush theme song but I could NOT find anybody to get a crush on then so that one pretty much went to waste but I still liked it.

Let's see, I think that's about it. Oh, yeah - one more to cleanse my soul: The Cowsils (the one about The Flower Girl).

I'm not embarrased to like Neil Diamond.
REO Speedwagon and Journey on the other hand...

I'm agreeing with Neil Diamond (what's better than Crunchy Granola Suite?) Abba, and Karen Carpenter. Karen had the voice of an angel.

I'd like to add Juice Newton. Break It To Me Gently and Angel of the Morning. Love 'em.

Absolutely not. No one should be ashamed of enjoying any music, from Bubble Gum to Gregorian Chants. Or not liking some music for that matter. I think half the music sold is because of peer pressure.... well before file sharing anyway.

Nope, no guilty pleasures in music.
