Name Your Shame

[paulo999]

My Last FM includes such jems as Steps and Barry Manilow plus the I feel pretty song.

My first concert was Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons at the Croydon Fairfield Halls circa 1976

Oh What A Night !!

[rachbon]

I once sat through So Solid Crew and Five while waiting for Ash to come on at a free festival in Plymouth. The guilty part is that I actually quite enjoyed Five

[dan05delaney]

I have no shame. I find it hard to think of going to any music that I would be embarrassed to admit to. I've been to some cheesy stuff in the past, for example Neil Diamond a couple of times, Gene Pitney and Neil Sedaka but I have no shame or regrets. In all cases they were stunning, polished performances by artists then at their peak.

I also remember seeing Shirley Bassey in her prime when she did a Cardiff show when I was in the second row of the circle - the whole of the front row was taken up by her mum, family and friends.

I do have some regrets, seeing people who were once great but latterly reduced to rubble. For example Peter Green a few weeks ago.

I've only once walked out of a gig and that was Mick Taylor (ex Stones & John Mayall) who was just boooooring and unconnected with the audience.

Divine Miss M; Bette Middler at the Paladium in the late 70ies; She was brilliant!

Rick Astley a couple of years ago in Manchester; great voice, sang more jazzy sort of stuff and did a wonderful send up of himself and Stock-Aiken-Waterman songs!

Neil Diamond at Woburn Abbey in 1977, well before he became Glastonbury cool!

Travis at MEN in 2002, only because I wanted to see Doves, who were in support.

Del Amitri at the Manchester Acadamy, only because I wanted to see the amazing Cousteau. Must confess I actually really liked Del Amitri too!

Neil Sedaka, twice........ now that is Cordon Bleu cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a deep seated passion for The Sugababe's and have all their albums, However I feel they lost it when Mutya left.....

Angels with Dirty Faces is by far the best for me though.

Scooter is also a regular on my play lists, endless albums of fun there...

Aled Jones is also on when I am in reflective moments, his early quire boy albums for those for peaceful times and his more raunchy later staff for when I need a little pick up... He has a massive catalogue to choose from.

My most embarrassing gigs were probably some of the rave groups I saw in the early 90s. Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo - oh god, if you haven't heard this shit, don't you tube em lol!

My mate made me sit through Fall Out Boy at Leeds last year

[pukkaone]

I went to see Bros at Wembley Stadium (supported by Sonia, Debbie Gibson, London Boys etc). But my excuse is that it was to impress a girl! (only to find out later that she didn't actually like them!).

Impressively uncool pukkaone.

I love a whole gamut of uncool... loved Manilow since I was a kid listening to Bauhaus & ELO... he and Abba were secret favourites. I think it's easier to admit uncoolnes of many years ago though... much harder to admit those current very active artists that are subject to the uncool label... and of course the way NME loves to build 'em up and knock 'em down there's many cool artists who will be uncool tomorrow. Gaga seems a likely candidate, not that I much care for her meself. I could name loads of old uncools like Sheena Easton or Dollar (whom I still love) but more recently I guess Keane are often labelled that way at the mo, so there's one..

I confess !

Almost my entire record collection is usually deemed uncool by most of my friends but I could careless

I check every year to see if there is a Glastonbury shaped hole in David Essex's tour schedule but alas I fear he maybe just tooo cool for a festival now I'd also like to see Def Leppard, Duran Duran, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, Asia, Marillion (fish not hogarth), Kansas, Toto and Heart. I'd also like to see Lionel Richie no idea why but I bet he'd be good

[timespeedsup]

I also *gulp* quite like Scouting for Girls.

[Ricochet]
