I've not heard Bloody Allen's latest album, because her last one pissed me off so much. I might have to try it now, since I also like Pink and Katy Perry.
Can you add Mika to the list? Everyone hates him. But he makes good washing-up music too.
Girls Aloud :thumbsup:
Is that Girls Aloud, or Pussycat Dolls?
There are no token ethnics in girls aloud.
Beastie Boys :thumbsup:
I was also quite partial to Vanilla Ice.

Bach without a doubt. Bach every time for me. Oh, and Palestrina.I would never sneer at someone for liking old J.S, for not liking him perhaps.
I also have a bit of a soft spot for Justin Timberlakes first album. :-[

He needed cool tunes, not just any would suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice
I owned an S Club Juniors single.
I'm stunned that the usual suspects have not been mentioned.
Katie Melua
James Blunt (seen him live twice, but I did get free tickets)
Jamie Cullum
Michael Buble
Runrig

Wham! :-[
Soft Cell :-[ :-[
Boney M :-[ :-[ :-[
When I was much younger, a group of friends and I did something very bad to Chris De Burgh's website. It was so bad it got into the Sun's Bizarre Showbiz column. One day I'll dig out the cutting and scan it in to show you all.
And I possess 2 B52s cds. ???

Soft Cell (and Marc Almond) are class - nothing to be ashamed of there.
I will admit to having a penchant for Dolly Parton and Bette Midler.
I'm partial to the odd Buck's Fizz and Dollar tune

Does Robyn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robyn) count?
Does Robyn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robyn) count?You made up for it by referring to Girls Aloud as 'the best pop group around' though.

Nowt wrong with that indeed...particularly if they are Cosmic Thing and Good Stuff....they are indeed damn good stuff to shake your honeybuns to! :thumbsup: Just before last years Funplex came out I finally got round to buying the boxset of some of their earlier stuff too...also very good.
Beastie Boys :thumbsup:

The Beastie Boys are hipper than hop
Vanilla Ice always was shite though. I liked a sample of him being used in a M&S advert a few years ago though.

Well, St Etienne aren't making records any more, are they?
I stand by my comment. Girls Aloud are better than the Ting Tings. :P
Neil Diamond
The Carpenters
Yippee-i, yippee-oh
Yippee-i, yippee-oh, yippee-ay
Which sounds rather silly, but ev'ry hillbilly
Spends half his life singing that way
He was just a lavender cowboy
With only three hairs on his chest
And he rode on a filly called Daffydowndilly
The prettiest horse in the West
Ev'ry morning they went out together
While the others looked on in dismay
'Cause he'd round up the cattle a-ridin' side-saddle
Because he preferred it that way
He was just a lavender cowboy
Who committed a terrible sin
He went out on a bender and slugged a bartender
And stole all the strawberry gin
So the posse was sent out to find him
And bring him back dead or alive
And they knew as they went they were hot on the scent
By the smell of Chanel No.5
And they found him a-lyin' unconcious
With blood running all down his chin
Till they looked a bit closer and what do you know, sir
They found it was strawberry gin
So, they shot the lavender cowboy
And said as they layed him to rest
You'll be happier now, boy, you can't be a cowboy
With only three hairs on your chest
I was introduced to the music of Paddy Roberts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Roberts_(songwriter)) by my parents, who knew him when they were in Africa.
Much of what I like is considered 'guilty pleasures' by somebody or other. I'm just not guilty about it.
*cough*The Misplaced Childhood album saw me through my O'levels.
Marillion
*cough*
I think my mother has some of his stuff.I was introduced to the music of Paddy Roberts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Roberts_(songwriter)) by my parents, who knew him when they were in Africa.
Well that makes at least three Paddy Roberts fans on here! Butterfly was the first person I met outside my family who'd ever heard of him.
Marillion are the biggest band to come out of Aylesbury that I never saw perform. ;D I was there, they were there - and I didn't give a toss, despite being prime band-watching age.*cough*The Misplaced Childhood album saw me through my O'levels.
Marillion
*cough*
Several years ago I was walking down Haddington High Street and my thoughts were "that bloke coming the other way is very tall ... he is really tall ... he really is a very tall man ... ... ... that bloke was Fish..." ;D
Didn't Otway & Barrett come from Aylesbury?
They had a hit.Ah - but I've seen them perform! Hard to avoid, growing up when & where I did. They were enough older than me that I wouldn't have mixed with them at school, even if I'd been at the same school, but I knew people who knew them, mostly older brothers of my school friends.
And one of them had two! :o
Surely that's bigger than Marillilliollion?

People who sneer at other people for the music they like deserve a slap.
Anyway. I'll add:

Oh, I'm not recommending you buy the latest album.
Scorpions
Ozric Tentacles
Er...Tygers of Pan Tang :-[
Anyone know the link between Hawkwind and the Tygers?
I've recently 'discovered' Pete Seeger.
Ok, so I need a life.....
I know you are only supposed to like them if you are called Wayne, have a mullet haircut and live on the largest council estate in Stoke On Trent...but I must admit that I have listened to Guns N Roses in the last few months.

Ewan MacColl.
...For the youngsters here, he's the one who wrote The Pogue's Dirty Old Town, The Ballad of Accounting, and First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
Lady Gaga. I'm sure I should hate her for her lack of fashion sense, her insistance in not eating enough pies and wearing little more than a bizzarely-cut bikini in most performances, her vulgar self-promotion, and a number of other things.
Ewan MacColl.
I have to listen to it when everyone's out, Mrs ARO switches it off if she's in.
Resurrecting an old thread: i found myself close to purchasing the Rhianna single S&M yesterday. :-[
Didn't Otway & Barrett come from Aylesbury?
I think that's a canard.
