i have to say joan of arc too.
people plain don't like that band.

a lot of people i know really dislike fugazi.
that's pretty weird to me cos all of my arguments on why i am so fond of them basically end up being like -
"y'know.....the're fugazi for fuck's sake."

Steely Dan. Steely Dan is definitely the one I get the most shit for liking, even indirectly.

Also, Frank Zappa.

Also, Sebadoh.

Also the Fucking Champs.

Come to think of it, there is a great deal of music I like that people want to give me shit for. I think from now on I am only going to listen to music that people will give me shit for listening to.

The rest are fine-ish. But Lost Prophets? Are you a 14 year old girl?

The first Oceansize album is excellent.

Tool are good.

Shellac? What are they doing in the list?

I have some liking for Bloc Party. I wouldn't slag someone about it.

Lostprophets? Hmmm.... Errrr.... Was that a typo?

I second Steely Dan and CCR.

--Rod Stewart

--Boney M

--Shoes

--Fleetwood Mac

--Mott the Hoople

--Rolling Stones, actually

--Oasis, as far as it goes for me

Brett, I appreciate your dissection of Seger. As we have discussed, I have a belated appreciation for him.

I agree that Christina Aguilera is a great singer, and 'Beautiful' is a great song. I can't say I've been tempted to buy any of her records, though, so she doesn't make my list.

CCR? Are the shit givers human? Christ.

In the last three years, the shit giving for liking The Rolling Stones has increased dramatically. I have a pretty good idea why.

For the record, I like everything up to "Undercover" - the bass drum sound on that song is so fucking cool.

Trying to convince someone under the age of 35 that Rod Stewart was ever good is like trying to convince a teenager that s/he doesn't need a cell phone. It cannot be done.

I realize, in advance, that there are plenty of people over 35 who are equally hard sells, but they at least remember that people used to like Rod the Mod, even if they never did.

Who, Tim, makes fun of you for liking Shoes? Who even knows about Shoes anymore? Doesn't a band have to be in the public consciousness to elicit any measurable ire?

10000 Maniacs- I should be getting crap for it any minute now.
