15 years ago I bought a Lionel Ritchie Best Of because "Hello" was on it....still have it and now and then even put it on.
Same goes for other kitschy melancholic stuff like Mick Jagger "Angel in my heart" or Neil Diamond "Love on the rocks"...

On the other hand there's much worse stuff like for example Roxette, whose first album ("The Look") which i also own (but haven't touched since at least a decade).

The Best of Wham!

Those are just great popsongs.

i like George Michael's "Freedom". the vid is great as well.

mike oldfield is a great musician but tends to go from sublime to awful in a heartbeat - like the "caveman" bit in tubular bells.

Oh, I've got another one: Rainbow's greatest hits. P.s. George Michael and lionel ritchie are pop genii

ok, i like you again after that muse rubbish.

INXS - The Years 1979-1997
M People - Bizarre Fruit II
Toploader - Onkas Big Moka
Limp Bizkit - Significant Other
I still love them all.

And a few albums I own, have grown to dislike, and have no idea why I still own them:
Deftones - White Pony
Weezer - Blue Album
No really, they're terrible.

There's also some of albums I love and aren't really embarrased to own, but I wouldn't play in company:
Judgement night soundtrack
Innocence mission - Befriended
Magnetic Fields - 69 love songs

inxs is fucking awesome.. "don't change" still their best track imo

limp bizkit? not so much.

Not sure about whole albums - but songs....

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong always gets me singing (and playing if my guitar is nearby - very fun song to play)
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
Blue - Eiffel (I can't help it )

Also see my list here: http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewto ... =1&t=33729

All Adam and the Ants songs...

Oh, and thanks to juggs finding it for me, I listen to this all the time:

not that it's embarrassing in the slightest, but...

Blondie - Atomic, The Very Best of Blondie (1998)

Come on, Rainbow is great. RJ Dio rocks.

I like Significant Other by Limp Bizkit too...

I was at work yesterday as a matter of fact when Billy Joel came on the radio and I commented on how I'm a big fan.... This girl looked at me like I was nuts.

The Traveling Wilburys.

Most of Nas's albums...

I know it's great! This is a thread about embarrassing albums that are actually really good

No shame in liking Blondie, even if it is a compilation album.

"Embarrassing albums you secretly like...."

I interpret it as embarassing albums I nevertheless like....

I'm not embarrassed about anything I listen to, maybe I should care but fuck insecure queers

The Beegees Saturday Night Fever.

im partial to early 90s one hit wonders, and overly slick produced shit like the spice girls and backstreet boys tracks. not the ballads, obviously. fuck that.

I find some of Pink's songs enjoyable to listen to. But mostly because of their tongue in cheek kind of humour.

Oh and I do like a number of Marco Borsato's songs, from his John Ewbank days. That probably only says something to dutchos I think. I have to admit that I went to one of his Symphonica in Rosso concerts. I must say that his band, especially in combination with the orchestra, is just flatout awesome. But now that Borsato and Ewbank stopped working together, and Ewbank's name suddenly pops up next to 3rd rate artists, all of them sound like Borsato.

Hehe you're right Eraser, I was thinking very hard about international artists, but the only artist I shamefully like is Marco Barsota Symphony in Red lol

lol, now that you mention it I like that "I'm Coming Home" song.

Don’t be so quick to walk away
I wanna rock your body, please stay
You don’t have to admit you wanna play
Just let me rock you till the break of day
