Stuff you really admire, but don't want others to know about...

I like a lot of songs by Toad The Wet Sprocket.

I kinda like Jack Johnson, particularly his In Between Dreams album ... it's simple laid-back music thats just nice to chill to sometimes during the summer

Second that. i love that album and not afraid to say so. whenever i just need some easy listening and i want to sing along (THATS RIGHT, i sing to Jack Johnson! lol) its my go to album.

I did enjoy for a while. I must've, I've got three of his albums, but it became a bit stale after a certain amount of listens. The only time I'll listen now is if somebody else is playing it.

Before brostep there was BROS!

One of the first casette tapes I bought as kid ^^

Roxette's It Must Have Been Love. Earlier today I realised what a great pop song that is.

i'm sorry guys, my heart was broken at that time

but it's over now!

I don't mind that song! I love the little call-and-response thing going on in the chorus.

I've got no shame about enjoying Coldplay's music:

I'm mostly about the instrumentals though. I imagine it would give me goosebumps if I were blasting this while driving on a highway at night.

This is a doozy. Enigma, late 90s Delerium, all that cheesy new age. It was some of the first music I ever liked as a kid and I come back to it just to revisit the dank church-turned club filled with Euro-mullets

"Admire" might not be the right word. So much of the music is sampled, including overused beats for half of their tracks. But mostly the chants and flutes, it is really awful sometimes.

Haha, does every Enigma song use that same beat? There is something I like about that snare though.

Actually, that's the kind of music that I found really impressive when I was 12 and getting into Fasttracker2 music—a lot of the demo songs were similar to that and I enjoyed watching the sequence scroll past and seeing how it was put together.

BRITNEY BITCH.

I'm proud of this love.

i can never post youtubez on this flipping forum

OK, here I go. I think it's gorgeous:

 

ABBA - Dancing Queen

It's just inherently epic. I feel the same way about Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

man, you cant resist those banana pancakes. no one can.

Jack Johnson just seems less douche-y too. He's still just some chill surfer guy who happens to be a musician (he apparently almost died in a wipeout and that's why he quit). He still lives in Hawaii with his wife and kids and keeps to himself, seems like a nice person.

I can't help but feel a warm glow when Knowing Me Knowing You by Abba comes on the radio. That's all I will say on the matter!!!

The song I blast when I'm driving my girlfriend's car alone somewhere and I only have her iPod.

Enigma is an extreme case. But I think in that era a lot of electronic music used simple patterns. I remember the upcoming e.g. of LFO etc. was very refreshing because they didn't use that simplistic beats, but added variation.

this album...

Haha, that reminds me, I still haven't mentioned my love for 311 in this thread. Something about them still sounds good to me. Mostly Nick Hexum's dreamy pseudo-metal melodic songs.

All the somewhat "alternative" folk around my hometown listen to Sublime and 311.
