The title says it all.
For me it was N'sync.
Yeah.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #1 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 06:33 »

Haha, I was into all those boy bands when I was like, eight. I am still ashamed. Also: Evanescence.

A little word of advice, man:

Slow down a bit on thread-making. Try posting in other people's threads, too.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #2 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 10:15 »

I used to like Dave Matthews band somewhat, although I'm pretty sure most people can say that.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #3 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 10:33 »

Psh, I never listened to bad music.

The first album I ever bought was The Gorillaz. This is something I'm pretty proud of my younger self for.

The second album I bought was Limp Bizkit. I am less proud of this.

Big Happy Captain · « **Reply #4 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 10:36 »

yeah i had a Limp Bizkit thing going on as well. i wouldnt say im embarassed, but that sort of behaviour is totally unjustifiable.

im still loving Gorillaz though, that shit is whack (good whack, not bad whack)

Zingoleb · « **Reply #5 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 11:03 »

Wait, it's okay to like Gorillaz? Well, that's a load off my chest. :p

I don't like The Gorillaz album. Dunno why. Love Demon Days, though.

isn't this kinda like a guilty pleasures thread? we already have one of those:
http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22538.0.html

as for bands that i used to be into but don't really listen to anymore...afi. i'm not ashamed of this, because it was kind of like a gateway into hardcore and emo and other internet-approved goodness.

N'sync.

Oh, and Green Day. I obsessed over International Superhits.

Yeah, somewhat. But I'm pretty sure no one ever liked the bands in the Horrible Bands thread

sean · « **Reply #9 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 11:46 »

Do we really need all these pretty similar but oh so slightly different threads though? (i mean maybe we do I don't know)

And so I am just not bashing a thread:
Back in the day, I would spin bands such as Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, and the radio station DC101. I dare you to go to their website. Dare

Cadeonehalf · « **Reply #10 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 12:16 »

Yeah my first CDs were *NSYNC and Baha Men.
They've since been burned. And I like early Nickelback (the first 3 albums, nothing after Silver Side Up).

Be My Head · « **Reply #11 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 13:09 »

Green Day
Sum 41
The Who
Radiohead
Tool

Yeah

J-cob9000 · « **Reply #12 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 14:11 »

Oh god. Before I came here, I listened to a shit load of awful music.

KoRn for one.
Linkin Park
Country. Modern Country.
Evanescence
Green Day
Taking Back Sunday
etc
etc.

Tehz · « **Reply #13 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 15:43 »

I usually defend all the bands I listen/used to listen to, but for some reason I'm really embarassed that I used to like The Get-Up Kids. I was really into them for like two months and then one day I just deleted all their songs off of my PC and traded in the CDs at FYE.

I haven't looked back since.

The Who

You're wrong.

I figured the thread was more about albums that you bought instead of bands you used to listen to. Granted they're much the same, but does it really matter that much? Just don't post in them if you don't think they're worth posting in. If other people post in them, there obviously not completely unwanted.

The only Get-Up Kids song I've heard is their cover of the Cure's "Close to Me". For some reason, I really like it.

Big Happy Captain · « **Reply #16 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 17:17 »

yeah, Be My Head, dude.. The Who are one of my fave bands (well, only half their stuff but yeah)

dont feel embarassed for liking the Who they are awesome.

well with that said we shouldnt be embarassed for anything we listen to.

except Limp Bizkit.

Be My Head · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 17:47 »

My understanding of this thread was that they are supposed to be bands we no longer like AND are ashamed that we ever liked.

Right?

Oh god. My taste in music in grade school was god-awful. Basically any mid 90's to early 2000's pop-punk and emo band. I didn't dress the part fortunately, but i also thought Linkin Park and 3 Doors Down were the best bands ever.
The first CD i ever bought with my own money was the Good Burger soundtrack. That I'm proud of.

aflowerchild · « **Reply #20 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 20:47 »

This thread was purely to see that I wasn't the only dork who liked N'snyc or some other pop-boyband crap back in grade school.
This wasn't really meant to be a copy, at least not intentionally.
But come on, I love watching people own up to liking bands that are really a bunch of trash compared to music I've found on here.
Bands like:
Baha Men
Backstreet Boys
N'sync
Limp Bizquit
etc...

Nodaisho · « **Reply #21 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 20:56 »

Creed.

Before that and after that, my music taste was and is great.

Is there a reason you're ashamed of The Who?

It just seems like one of those things that never happen

dujek · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 03:19 »

Def Leppard.

In my defence it was the 80s...

Patrick · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 03:28 »

I'd give my left arm to be their drummer, man.

My first-ever album purchases were Smashmouth's AstroLounge and the Offspring's Americana. I don't much listen to that Offspring album anymore, but I am more than happy to play AstroLounge as long as I skip "AllStar".

I used to love the fuck out of that song.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #25 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 04:05 »

I used to like Smash Mouth. Still do, actually. But Astro Lounge is the last album of theirs I'll listen to, and even then...sparingly.

I used to listen to Matchbox 20 and pretty much whatever came on the radio.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #27 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 06:41 »

Is baaaaad joke.

Anyway ... I think that every single album I eer bought says something about what I thought at the time. Thus, there is some mild bemusement at some choices but no great big heaps of shame. It all lead to the albums I love today.

Ha! That was my first album, too! Now I only listen, if at all, to their first Album sometimes, which I still like very much.
