You know how everyone likes Nina Simone singing "Ain't got no/I got life"? Well, I have a confession. I can't stand the bloody song and I can't stand her boring voice either.
There! I've said it.
Anyone else got a similar type of confession?

Anyone else got a similar type of confession? I agree, and, because I was asked nicely, I raise yet again my disdain for the Beatles and all their works, as enshrined in the person of Sir bleedin' pompous blandness himself Paul McCartney. Two atrocities in particular stand out: Yesterday and Hey Jude. Blecccchhhhh. |

There are no words to explain my disgust and dismay when they started using that song in a yoghurt advert. Before then it was a kind of edgy, grrl-power song that not many people knew. Now it's ubiquutious ear-fodder. The actual song itself is quite dark. |

BTW, this isn't a debating thread. Nobody should disagree with anyone else, because it's for confessions only. Everyone should feel free to own up in the knowledge that they won't be questioned as to their taste.

"I got My arse" - missing from the advert version. Grrr.
I'm not keen on The Beatles: the the ones I do like of theirs are things like Yesterday, Fool on the Hill and Michelle. I think that McCartney was much more musically radical than Lennon (and he stayed here and paid his taxes).
I don't like 60s soul music really. I don't mind it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to hear it. Same with reggae.
I can't stick Carmina Burana.
And I hate Guinness adverts (except for the ones written by Dorothy L Sayers). All those big production things, with the sea horses etc, are just not very good - not very imaginative.

But - I do really like Tiffany's version of I Think We're Alone, and the little dance she does in the middle.
And I really like These Words are mine, by that blonde lass whose brother does pop music as well - can't remember her name.
And I like that version of that Bryan Adams song by DJ Sammy, and especially I like the video, with the two heavily made up Japanese girls.
And I like that song by those two fake Russian lesbians - I do really think that it's a really good song. I still think it's bizarre that Top of the Pops wouldn't show them kissing, but cut to a bloke snogging his bird instead (words carefully chosen: that is just what it looked like). (I don't see what the problem (with things like Woman's Hour) with those two was. They were just acting, like any pop singer.)
(Reading over this post, I seem to detect a theme. Oh well. We're all friends here, right? Right?)

It's a very small thing too. In his first autobiography he makes great play of the fact that he was utterly useless for the most part of growing up, but never underlines how the change came about and he began to get on with life. You'd have thought something so mountainous would be a pivotal point in his existence. I got the same thing with Clive James, who made out he was a waste of space right up to university. Yet somehow wangled a scholarship to one of Sydneys better schools - but didn't do well there - and the next thing - he's off to Oxford and having tea with Joyce Grenfell! Weird. Perhaps they're just glossing over any talent they developed for modesty's sake - but hey - they're writing a book about themselves! Why leave anything out! |

I could not believe they made No:1 in the "Greatest Ads" programme - it had to be a fix because A:/ It hadn't been out or around long enough to stand the test of time and B:/ It actually had very little prominence on the screen and C:/ It was bloody annoying. |

Then again - I bought Martika's album in a moment of abject weakness at around the same time - and that really was a load of manufactured pap pop in places. It's not what your doing....it's what you're not doing baby......... |

I loathe with a vengeance the middle sized car made by the Germans at Cowley. Bastards. The perfect car for the Noughties - No substance whatsoever.

I don't like BMW cars at all, though, to be fair, it's like dogs -- the owner's almost certainly the main culprit. I expect the owners order them specifically with no bulbs fitted in the indicators. And Alfa Romeos are nearly as bad. [BMW motorcycles and their riders are paragons in comparison.] |

I've watched Maid in Manhattan about ten times.  I liked that Bryan Adams song he did with Mel C. And I still like it. And I even liked the video. I blame it on the fact that I was in love at the time but it's no excuse really is it.  |

And Alfa Romeos are nearly as bad. [BMW motorcycles and their riders are paragons in comparison.] It's the difference between being popular through word of mouth and without making a song and dance about it (the bikes) and flagrant, over egged, up themselves over promotion. (The cars). My Dad always fancied Moto Morinis (or Guzzis) I remember the former looked quite beautiful a few years ago - a look at the latest models today it seems they've gone very "butch" now. |

What I'm getting at really is not so much our likes and dislikes, but the sort of things we like and dislike that we might have been ashamed to admit to because we know that most people would disagree with us. The only thing off limits is if anybody hates The Kinks.  Then they are just weird. |
