Jaqui said, "... Kendall has much narrower musical tastes than I and I do enjoy, on occasion, getting together with SINSULL and doing a bit of doowap, just to aggravate him."

Good on ya, jacqui! I know Kendall says he's more tolerant than that ;) but I still love the way you think! LOL

Well, it seems at least one of two of you also like most of the people and stuff on my list, but here are some that I love but won't usually volunteer that info in some settings (such as a "folk music song circle):

Air Supply
Clay Aiken
Aerosmith
MacNamara's Band, The Unicorn, Danny Boy, and The Wild Rover
Sons Of The Pioneers
Bryan Setzer
Snoop Dogg, Chingy, Will Smith, and Blackeyed Peas
a lot of Andrew Lloyd-Weber and Rodgers & Hammerstein
Harry Connick, Jr.
Alan Jackson
Irving Berlin songs
Johnny Mercer lyrics
Jazz era standards (Harold Arlen, Gershwins, Hoagy Carmichael, Gus Kahn, Duke Ellington)
Edith Piaf
Roy Orbison
doo-wop
reggae
Garth Brooks
Tennessee Ernie Ford
Neil Diamond
Cyndi Lauper

But I'm seldom shy about admitting I like:
Spike Jones
Sons Of The Pioneers
Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler
Eva Cassidy
Jethro Tull
Bob Seger
Elvis
The Eagles
Miles Davis
Patsy Cline

I guess actually I'm never really "ashamed" to admit to liking something, and there's very little besides muzak that i hate as a category.   It's more a matter of having people sometimes stare blankly when you bring up an artist or song or genre that's not their "cup o' tea." :-D
