Bands you like that most people mock you for?

[nate]

The first two that come to mind for me are Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold.  I don't think they are the greatest bands but I still really enjoy listening to their music.

The Beach Boys, Oingo Boingo and the theme from Dukes of Hazzard.

I tend to agree. Sadly, I am married to one of those people.

Cranberries are another one.  Although I think it is because I am not a woman.

Who would ever mock you for enjoying one of the greatest rock bands of all time?

I don't think most people even know the bands I listen too.

Same here.

My friends mock me because I'm just not that into music. I like Pearl Jam, GNR, Tom Petty, Creedance, Nirvana, Led and that's about it. My brother got me into Thrice. I've enjoyed their live shows. I

I am in the same boat but they make fun of me because they don't know who they are.

Most of my friends are musically eclectic and have at least heard a song or two or if the bands I like. But I'm also a bit like Adam and once some of the newer music trends came out I just stuck to what I like and stuck to certain bands.

I'm hoping back into a post-rock phase as Russian Circles came out with a new album. Going to dabble and rediscover bands like Pelican, Mouth of the Architect, Red Sparrowes, etc.

If you like Pelican you should check out Jesu.

I can only hear out of one ear (banana cream pie incident from my youth...long story). I have to think that inhibits my ability to appreciate music as much as others. 

[NJHalo]

The Wiggles.

 

My kids grew out of them, but I haven't.

 

Still find myself singing "Toot, Toot, Chugga-Chugga big Red Car"

Poor guy. You'll never know the beauty of ABBA in stereo.

The most powerful music to me, is well put together film soundtracks. 

[Glen]

The Bee Gees.  Love them so much I even got the statue pictured below and named it Maurice, after the least-known of the Brothers Gibb:

Fruit salad, yummy yummy.

 

For some reason that song reminds me of "Coffee in Bed."

They're alright. I don't own any albums, but when I used to get hooked to a band would go through the entire record label of bands or find similar ones.....which things like Pandora have been a big help with. You type in Explosions in the Sky and get a lot of these bands.

Couldn't agree more and where a lot of my instrumental music comes from, or taste for post-rock.....which is just a hipster title for bands that make epic instrumental or movie score type music.

We just saw Danny Elfman's Music of Tim Burton Films a couple of days ago. It was amazing to see it performed live with a full orchestra and choir.

Danny Elfman sang all of Jack's Nightmare Before Christmas songs, Catherine O'Hara sang Sally's song and then Elfman came back and performed Oogie Boogie's song for the encore.
