robinblokeIs there a band that people express surprise that you like?
For me it's usually Carter USM, product of my sixth form years...

Date: 2004-10-26 09:23 am (UTC)My shameful secret is Robbie Wiliams - I am a big fan of good pop music (yes, there is such a thing!) in general.

Date: 2004-10-26 09:27 am (UTC)Robbie Williams? Deary me!
Pop music? I listen to 80's stuff, I can't say anything in return!

Date: 2004-10-26 11:47 am (UTC)Dixie Chicks just about but neither Lucinda Williams (Americana) nor Union Station (classic Bluegrass) are Country. So ner.

Ditto for me at work. Nobody can believe I'm an (ex)-DJ into all this crap we listen to regularly. Sad I still have to resort to NiN or the Sisters or the Cure to find something anyone has actually heard of. Although most of my pals like Swarf now : )

I grew up round there.
Other bands of a similar geographical bent (well, neighbouring Camberley) include the infamous Bros. Now will you stop liking them?
no subject
Date: 2004-10-26 10:20 am (UTC)I seem to remember you played them once...
no subject
Date: 2004-10-26 11:31 am (UTC)Specific examples that have caused comment or raised eyebrows are The Sugababes, All Saints, Alicia's Attic...
Hmmm, those are all distinctly female in nature, wonder if that's a subconscious help to the music? *smirk*

the best bit is that you can take it either as a loved-up 'ooh come home quick for a shag' song or a bitter 'why did we split up' one.
or at least thats my read on it.
