Members Benjamin Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 Or should you?... YES - Sometimes Jon Anderson's vocals make me feel weird, and the lyrics are occasionally embarrassing when playing to muso friends. But I simply cannot deny the music. WEEN - Isn't that like admitting you have a serious mental anomaly? QUEEN - Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are 3 bands you should have no shame admitting to liking.I raise my friends eyebrows when i throw on Culture Club, Duran Duran, ABC, and other 80's stuff that is damn good.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 Originally posted by Hacker I raise my friends eyebrows when i throw on Duran Duran that is damn good. I found this out a couple years ago. I had joined a new band that played "Hungry Like the Wolf", and I kinda wrote it off...until I listened to it again... That's when I realized it had a damn cool bassline, and the music was actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know much about YES or Ween, but Queen was a good band. Why shouldn't you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Hungry Like the Wolf check out the whole Rio album. His bass playing on the album Notorious stands out as well. His playing on the first Power Station album is killer too. I love the bassline for the track "Some Like it Hot"...heavy, groovy, in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fastplant Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 Duran Duran is actually one of my favorite bands. Although, I am ashamed to admit I like Sugar Ray. My wife is a big fan, surprise surprise, so we've seen them a bunch of times, and they actually put on a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flatcat Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 The Carpenters. No kidding. They could really, really sing. When I was a kid, I dismissed all disco/funk music from the 70s. Now that I work regularly in a wedding band - and I have to play a lot of that stuff - I realize how fun so much of that stuff is to play. It's really underrated. Many of the lyrics are dumb as sh*t, but the grooves can be terrifyingly good, and the bass parts are really cool.

Members wildsponge Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 Lol... I was just thinking about starting a thread about this. Everytime I turn on New Found Glory, I can't help but grab a bass and start jamming. I love every song I've ever heard from both their most recent cd's. I've seen some live clips and their singer couldn't sing a note on pitch and some of their gear is pretty crappy. Their a total fabricated mainstream pop band made for MTV, but their studio guy is amazing and produces albums I can't help listening to.

Members Mofopotomus Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 hehe, yeah those guys are like ear candy to me. I've also been digging on the Yellowcard lately. As far as pop-punk goes they're at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Benjamin Posted October 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2005 Originally posted by SpaceGhost Uhmm, are you aroused by Jon Anderson?! Ah... no. I kinda sometimes find myself wanting to, or singing the songs because they are good, but that kind of singing feels really unmanly Every guy I know who is into heavier music dug Queen, as I am sure most of you here do. I find it strange (kinda in a good way) that such an effeminate band should be enjoyed by the masculine masses. Driving down the street with Queen blasting from the speakers in my town would surely ellicit some strange looks and rumours. Mind you, generic poofy techno is the trend for street hoons lately...
