For me, this would be Wilson Phillips.

What are some things you secretly love to listen to, but don't always love admitting to in public?

Bob Marley because he has the worst fanbase ever and I don't want to be affiliated with them.

I don't know, I tend to own up to most of the bands I like without much guilt. I have taken flak for my outspoken praise of Lady Gaga, however.

One genre I love that no one else listens to is 1950s Exotica, which is a cheap Hollywood knockoff of world music, so I guess that could qualify. I find it delightful though.

I don't want to live in that universe.

Prince & Duran Duran, all my proto hipster friends used to laugh and laugh at me back in the day for liking them.

I never had any proto friends (at least I don't think so) but there's nothing wrong with liking prince. :noble:

While I am pretty over some of her songs now, I am still a Lady Gaga fan. I like music that makes me want to "just dance..."

Katy Perry is another one for me. I may have choked up a bit watching her Firework music video. California Gurls' video is hilariously ridiculous, so I kinda love it.

A lot of disco music. It's generally fun, upbeat stuff, and not nearly as processed as most other pop.
