What band do you secretly love but are too embarassed to tell anyone about?

Michael Jackson is the man. To deny his music because of his personal life (which is nobody's business anyway) is just dumb.

That really makes me laugh. "I don't like Michael Jackson cos he did this, this and this." But then they like bands who do all kinds of other shit. It's really hypocritical. He represented a time when pop music meant something and wasn't just a medium for peddling tat to the naive.

i didn't notice the comma for a second there in the opening line, and it vexed me deeply

I like the older Michael Jackson songs. His newer stuff just doesn't do it for me.

Personally I don't like Michael Jackson's music (just not my thing), but I respect what he has done for music.

Hahaha, yes. Please note the comma.

To clarify, I wasn't saying everyone should like his music. I was saying that liking it is nothing to be ashamed of.

True. By the time of Earth Song I was glad Jarvis Cocker was acting like a buffoon on his set. I apoligise to anyone who likes the Earth Song.

It's a better song than most mainstream artists are capable of putting out.

Any Bill & Ted-esque solos?

I don't think he's the worst bassist I've heard. I personally haven't heard enough of the music to judge, it might be good, might be shit.

I find it endlessly amazing that a man who earns an absolute fortune still finds time to just make music for free, for fun.

Well so does/did Russel Crowe. His band really did/do suck.

Yeah I know, but it's the point of it that I find amazing. Not the music.

Hmm...well what other actors are there that perform in bands? I mean, Reeves hasnt been to active lately and he must have stocked up enough cash to just go on a little hiatus surely...

He's been in Dogstar for many many years. He's always loved doing it. Johnny Depp also has a band on the side.

i listen and like an absolute **** load of stuff that the vast majority of people of here wouldn't like but i cant say any of them embarrass me...

although i could list some of the more ridiculous cd's i've purchased over the years through youthful stupidity and severe and (almost) unfogivable lapses in taste

mike and the mechanics
kriss kross
deicide

a broad spectrum of utter tat...i'm sure you'll agree

I remember seeing clips of Johhny Depp's band on Top of the Pops from the early 90s.

I personally don't like Deicide but I wouldn't say someone had shit taste for liking them really.
