3 Dean Freedman - Lydia (Love it)
4 Duncan & Keedie - I believe my heart (That did take some admitting to)
5 Lori Morgan - Something in red (Country)
6 Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World (Oh dear)
That's it and I feel much better now.

I haven't even heard of some of them to like them or dislike them. i do know the Charlene one and like it - I like a bit of country.

But I'm afraid there is just one singer that I refuse to acknowledge that I really, really like. I'm not going to admit it on here and I'm fairly sure you won't guess.

Cliff Richard?

No not really although I do like a lot of Cliff's stuff circa Summer Holiday - the early stuff in other words.

I still walk around singing Little Arrows (Leapy Lea), I like the "Oh Oh th__e pain" bit. I just dug out my Bobby Goldsboro LP to check if he did "By the time I get to Pheonix"-yes. The album's called Honey and I think that was a hit as well, haven't got a turntable set up to check.

Glen Campbell did a version of that too...

one i really liked at the time n never thought i would admit to, was Joe Dolche- Shuddup ya face.

though it was very useful at the time to get rid of a pain in the bum.

Ohh i havent listened to Dolly Parton for ages,,, i love her songs,,,,i must dig up my old cassettes of her,,,,thanks for reminding me...

Shuddup ya face still holds the record "for the most successful song in Australian music history for 28 years straight! Over 50 cover versions with translations into 10 languages. including Papua New Guinea pidgin and the Australian aboriginal Indjibundji dialect." I knew he had some record and the description comes from his website.

i'm quite embarrased to admit to the fact that i like this song (cringe)

are there any songs you like but know you shouldnt?

Why shouldn’t you like a particular song if it rings your bell? Who is to say that you shouldn’t like it?

What puzzles me is why someone should feel embarrassed because they happen to like a particular song? Personal likes and dislikes are just that – personal and have nothing to do with anyone else.

Could it be that people feel embarrassed about their choice because of the fear that their peer group would pour scorn on that choice and ridicule them and they would lose their place in the group pecking order?

A bit like daring to have an opinion that does not concur with the herd.

I don't really have music on the PC (don't tend to download stuff- I expect people to respect my copyright so I should really respect the copyright of others). I've just done a swift search of the PC and it's come up with a whole bunch of embarrassing stuff, but that's for the music round at the pub quiz tonight.

The only one that springs to mind is "Nellie The Elephant" by Splodgnessabounds. If that's on in the car, I listen to it and sing along. If there's someone else in the car I skip to the next track.
