I actually quite like a FEW (emphasis on F-E-W) of Britney Spears' songs...

Don't hate me.

Meep.

Evanescence and "Sexy Back" by Justin Timeberlake

Quoted for truth.

I love Sexyback.  And Evanescence.  Well... some of Evanescence.  The songs that don't sound like everything else they do.

Thank God, I only like the older stuff. Although I wonder if I teeter on the edge, as when I am bored I use my MegaDrive emulator to play Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, which despite being constructed around his older songs AND made in the early nineties, is a bit...topical in terms of the gameplay. [coughs]

As for Eric Clapton....nooooooo! One can't be ashamed of the Clapton! But I am currently listening to Savage Garden. Woe. And I also must admit to actually rather liking that stupid Paris Hilton song. It's catchy goddammit...! But I will skip it on my iPod whenever anybody looks at the screen when I'm on the train. Heh.

Um...I've got four: Barbie Girl, Around the World, Happy Boys and Happy Girls, and Dr. Jones. I dunno, either.

--A few Maroon 5 songs.
The All-American Rejects' "Move Along";
Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" (the song is catchy, but I still want to kill Pete Wentz);
and My Chemical Romance, AFI, etc. (OMG EMO we totally need a wrist-slitting, crying black mascara tears emoticon).

I like Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe", but not much else. I like a lot of All-American Rejects' stuff up to "Dirty Little Secret," and I actually like Fall Out Boy and all the "Emo" bands, but I'm not embarrassed by it.

Well, because of Imaginary Bad Bug, I just went to iTunes and bought a random Pet Shop Boys song. I'm definitely less confused about that than the Aqua thing, but...I still turn the volume up whenever Barbie Girl turns up on my iPod. And hell, I sing along when I'm at home. It's over for me, guys. Don't grieve for me, I'm already dead...

ETA: Actually, Yasha, I like Eminem too...and can't work out why. Although it's hilarious whenever I join in singing/rapping an Eminem song, because I am so WASP/upper-middle-class-Catholic-schoolgirl that people who only know me IRL rarely believe me when I say I know how to effectively use the word "shit" in a sentence. Heh. In truth, I am of the grammar school of Monty Python, which so pithily states that the f-word is one of the few English words that can be used as nearly every word in a sentence, read: "Fuck the fucking fuckers!"

If you'll excuse my French.

... Guilty.
I've only this week really listened to stuff by Michael Jackson, and I've gotta say I actually find myself enjoying all of his work, the early and the recent. I admit, I think part of it is simply the way his later singles all seem to get progressively more political and it's almost like seeing what could have made him so ... well, crazy.

Also, my other huge guilty musical pleasure? Kate Bush. I think it's good music, but other people do seem to be amused by me listening to it, so I feel a bit guilty about it lately. Which makes it even more indulgent!

Ooo oo. I like Eminem. But it's totally okay because I know a black guy that likes Eminem.

...hmm, I am sitting here fixing up the missing album artworks on my iTunes playlist and ran across my bizarre pseudo-pop-opera-musical-something-or-rather songs. I love them to bits -- "them" being Emma Shapplin and the four artists who performed on Atylantos -- but I rarely try to show them to other people. Mostly because they go "EW OPERA!" When my understanding is that real opera buffs listen to this stuff and go "EW NOT OPERA!" I'm obviously a phillistine either way...

James Blunt...oh noes. I just like him and everyone hates him so he's my little secret.

I love her! I was studying Wuthering Heights last year and found out it has its own song, by Kate Bush. She's very...different, but I like her.

Hee, I have to admit I can't stand James Blunt, but I think it's a holdover from my intense hatred for David Gray (which came about because my sister played one of his albums on loop for three weeks straight and BOOM there went my sanity). However, I find James Blunt rather amusing in terms of this song. Cockney rhyming slang is always fun.

I the Spice Girls.

I can't stand the PussyCat Dolls or the Spice Girls, except for a handful of songs.

I like David Gray too! Coicidence?

Vitamin C. Shut up. Boys Vs. Girls is a good song.
