Day 7: One band/singer you're ashamed to admit you like.


I'm really not ashamed at all to admit that I like Barry Manilow, but apparently there are some people who think I should be. I don't get it--this guy is really, really talented. I was a hardcore fan in high school, and I still love his stuff. This one is my favourite:

Day 1: Your favourite song
Day 2: A song that makes you cry.
Day 3: A song that makes you dance.
Day 4: Your favourite male singer.
Day 5: Your favourite female singer.
Day 6: Your favourite band.
Day 7: One band/singer you're ashamed to admit you like.
Day 8: One band/singer whose popularity you will never understand.
Day 9: A song that reminds you of an ex.
Day 10: A song that reminds you of your father.
Day 11: A song that reminds you of your mother.
Day 12: A song that makes you want to have sex.
Day 13: A song you sing in the shower.
Day 14: A song from the year you were born.
Day 15: A song you liked in high school.
Day 16: The first song in your mp3 folder.
Day 17: The last song in your mp3 folder.
Day 18: An instrumental song you like.
Day 19: Your favourite love song.
Day 20: Your favourite breakup song.
Day 21: A song that makes you want to break stuff.
Day 22: Your favourite song from a movie.
Day 23: Your favourite duet.
Day 24: Your favourite cover song.
Day 25: Your favourite song from 2010 (so far)
Day 26: Your favourite movie video.
Day 27: One song in your mp3 folder you're pretty sure no one else has.
Day 28: One song that needs to never be played again.
Day 29: One song that gives you the creeps.
Day 30: A song you'd like played at your funeral.

Barry Manilow was my first concert (my folks took me when I was a wee!miz) and is still th eperson I've seen perform live the most (4 or 5 times total). I think he's a lot of fun, entertaining, and the love he has for performing shines through.

I don't love everything he's done, but I still enjoy him, and when people ask about my musical tastes, I let them know I like everything from Manilow to Manson.

Don't be hating the Manilow!!

Host: "My question first. And answer true, because you know I'll know. Why Mandy?"

Angel: "Well, I…I know the words. I kind of think it's pretty."

Host: "And it is, you great, big sap! There is not a destroyer of worlds that can argue with Manilow and good for you for fessin' up. She'll be at Forth and Spring. The trial will be there."

I totally back you on this one.

He's one of the favorite targets of what I call music snobs ... but really, all of the music snobs I know were born too late to appreciate this stuff the first time around. Instead of really listening, they caricature that time period.

I seem to have to apologize for quite a bit of things that I love. Barry is one of them. But I proudly admit that I love him and embarrass my husband no end (his fault, he knew I openly loved all sorts of embarrassing things when he married me).

Go you! We stand tall together.
