I’ve been listening to all the music on here (my wife commented that there was an “eclectic mix” coming from the speakers) and wanted to tell everyone how great it all was, but the truth is, some of it, I didn’t actually like. Some of it, like @dominator ‘s Tragically Hip, I hated from the opening notes, but by the end of the song, I really got into it and wanted to already know the words, so I could sing along while washing the dishes.

At the start, I said nobody would be judged and to include music you actually like (rather than stuff you think others would find cool) and it’s been a great start already. But it got me thinking – is there any music you’ve *pretended* you liked, in the company of others, but in your hearts of hearts, didn’t really?

Here’s a start: I love (the song) Cowboys from Hell, the staccato aggression on “This Love” and “Walk” always gets a wry smile when it comes on, but other than these (and maybe Cemetary Gates) I’ve got to stop pretending: I don’t really like Pantera. I’ve just taken them off my playlist(s) so I don’t have to keep skipping the other tracks.
