The single most disgraceful song I like despite my better judgment has to be "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher . . . and I say that even though I'll also admit to liking "Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice. I also like most Meatloaf songs.

Alright, as long as everyone else is coming clean.....

Toto......Africa.

I have been caught on VM singing it in my car. Thankfully, by my wife, though it is now fair game according to our rules, for blackmail

If I told you all of the music I liked, you all would probably question my manhood, but I listen to a lot of the old 90's pop stuff, and some of Nick Lachey's new stuff. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

nothing wrong with that. NSYNC is definitely on my list. Whenever you need to take a party up a notch or two put on bye bye bye and the girls will be dancing all over each other in no time!

glenn miller-big band music from the 1920's. we had to watch the glenn miller story in seventh grade music class, and i really like that movie, and moonlight serenade is one of my favorite songs. now you know. please dont ding me:tongue2:

I'm gonna ding your ass 'cause you don't know your history. If you saw the movie you know he (Miller) served, and died, in WWII. Hardly a 20's musician. On second thought Moonlight Seranade is a great tune so I'll let your history gaff pass this time.

I do turn off the Oktoberfest and Sousa stuff (yeah, I really do like omm pah, pah in the right setting and time) when stuck at a traffic light. But there's not much musically that I can't find some part of to enjoy. I especially enjoy Jazz, Classical and Late Sixties, but I also like Texas Swing, Willy Nelson, some new age. I find little to enjoy in rock music since the break up of the Eagles. Rap and Disco... I'm trying to keep an open mind, but it's challenging.

He may not know when Glenn Miller lived, but I bet he can spell Willie Nelson's name right. :p

Nothing to be ashamed of here. EJ is one of the great pop singers of all time, even if he does make Liberace look like A.J. Hawk by comparison.

Michael Jackson........in the 80's and early 90's. Say what ya want, but "Billie Jean" is a catchy pop tune.

Ugh...be ashamed. :biggrin:

That's an all-time classic. Why would you be ashamed of that one? Their entire first album was awesome.

Forgive me; this is embarrassing, but I like the Notre Dame fight song:

Notre Dame Victory March

Without a doubt the most recognizable collegiate fight song in the nation, the "Notre Dame Victory March" was written just past the turn of the century by two brothers who were University of Notre Dame graduates.
Michael J. Shea, a 1905 graduate, wrote the music and his brother, John F. Shea, who earned degrees in 1906 and 1908, wrote the words. The song was copyrighted in 1908 and a piano verson, complete with lyrics, was published that year.
Michael, who became a priest in Ossining, N.Y., collaborated on the project with John, who lived in Holyoke, Mass. The song's public debut came in the winter of 1908 when Michael played it on the organ of the Second Congregational Church in Holyoke.
The "Notre Dame Victory March" later was presented by the Shea brothers to the University and it first appeared under the copyright of the University of Notre dame in 1928. The copyright was assigned to the publishing company of Edwin H. Morris and the copyright for the beginning of the song is still in effect.
The words and music which begin with the words "Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame" are in the public domain in the United States, but are protected in all territories outside of the country.
Notre Dame's fight song was first performed at Notre Dame on Easter Sunday, 1909, in the rotunda of the Administration Building. The University of Notre Dame band, under the direction of Prof. Clarence Peterson, played it as part of its athletic event 10 years later. In 1969, as college football celebrated its centennial, the "Notre Dame Victory March" was honored as the "greatest of all fight songs."
Michael Shea was the pastor of St. Augustine's Church in Ossining until his death in 1938. John Shea, a baseball monogram winner at Notre Dame, became a Massachusetts state senator and live in Holyoke until his death in 1965.

Lyrics:
Rally sons of Notre Dame:
Sing her glory and sound her fame,
Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true:
Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in ev-ry game,
Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne'er forget her
And will cheer her ever
Loyal to Notre Dame Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

Yes it is true, Notre Dame sucks (as documented on this website http://www.angelfire.com/nj3/notredame/), but they do have a great fight song.

Is there a priest ready to take confessions? OK. It is a good song. Music wise it's on a par with several others. I think it's the quality of the words that put it over the top... "send a volley cheer on high, bring down the thunder from the skies."

I respect Victors because of the wisdom to put it in a lower key, thus it drowns out anything elese that's being played and it's easy for males to sing.

Outside of the Big 10 and Pac 8 (Arizona and ASU didn't add anything worth talking about music wise) the quality of the music falls way off. Tennessee has a great song, Down the Field, but prefers Rocky Top. Oklahoma stole theirs from Yale. Georgia borrowed Battle Hymn of the Republic (If you can't lick 'em, join 'em?) So much for the south.

If I were to list my favorites, without any ranking implied, it would look something like this: Across the Field, Victors, Notre Dame, Hail to the Black and Gold (Purdue), Indiana, Our Indiana, both of NW's songs Go U Northwestern & Wave the Flag, Illinois Loyalty, On Wisconsin, Minnesota Rouser, On Brave Old Army Team, Navy Blue and Gold, The Sturdy Golden Bear (Cal Berkeley), Fight On for USC, Bow Down to Washington (perhaps the most arrogant words in football music), Princeton Cannon Song, Washington and Lee Swing... and then add two songs because of their great connections to locale, LSU's Tiger Rag and Wyoming's Rag Time Cowboy Joe.
