I know the Carpenters are often <i>regarded</i>as shameful, but I've never actually heard them - not knowingly at least - so I can't answer that one, zh. It's between you and your inner indie snob!

She loves Michael Buble and Anne Murray and hippie songs from the 60s and the Sound of Music soundtrack. The coolest thing she ever admitted listening to was "Stairway to Heaven." My father had more taste in music. I can't really think of anything shameful he liked. Is Sting shameful? :D He turned me on to Johnny Cash, Hank Williams (senior, of course), big band music, Paul Simon (despite the poster above me, I don't find Simon shameful at all), the Beach Boys, and many others. I guess a shameful love that we all share is for the Carpenters. Is it shameful to love the Carpenters? I love them. I love hearing Karen's voice and hearing those mournful melodies about rainy days and Mondays. My mother has very bland taste in music.

Just the shared part. I think a shameful one that I share with my folks would have to be Jimmy Buffett. Cut me some slack, though, I grew up in Florida.

Both my parents were and are fairly musically blank, apart from traditional C&W ballads, and frankly Jim Reeves will never come back into fashion. I thought Swn looked pretty decent, actually, although I suppose it's a year on year thing. I love how both Dananananaykroyd (the best live band in Britain, by the way) and Danblagroyd have been booked. Funny thing is, I genuinely don’t have a 2, 4 or 5.

It was surprisingly hard to find anything even as marginally appropriate as that one.
