Okay, that's just unfair. I happened to notice that the next CD in my case is Ricky Martin, and now I'm earwormed with it without even listening to it yet...
And yes I for one will admit the Ricky Martin CD - Heck I'll admit to my ABBA, Pat Boone (In a Metal Mood), Glen Campbell, Ann Murray, Muppets, asstd Disney and gatuitous amounts of Duran Duran - I have little musical shame.
What's shameful about the Muppets? We watched the Phyllis Diller and the Vincent Price episodes just last night, and I had the following conversation with my housemate:
Me: The episode I'd really like to watch is the Diana Rigg episode. Alexx: I don't have a Diana Rigg episode. Me: Yeah, I know.
Nothing, but there are those unenlightened souls out there (many of them are relatives of mine) who feel that a fascination/appreciation for "childish" things is inappropriate for a woman of 38. Particularly when she doesn't have kids.
Sher -- while it may be almost the platonic opposite of "deep", the self-named album has a lot of seriously fun, kicky road music. I don't demand more than that...
Heh. I think of it as "seriously fun must-dance music". So yeah. :)
(Although...I do think of it as "deep", just in an utterly different sense than the "meaningful / intellectual" way that I think you meant. It's music I can lose myself in, in movement and sound..."deep" in an experiential way, if that makes any sense. Which is, now that I think about it, very much the opposite of what you were talking about. So again - yeah. :)
One of these days, we must compare eclectic music collections. I was asked today what my favorite sorts of music tends to be - what I actually buy. I had to think for a little bit, then answered, "Er...electronica/dance, classical, movie scores, celtic-inspired, euphonious scandinavian death metal, plus the occasional punk, classic rock, j-pop, new age, and various world/ethnic stuff?"
Admittedly, I don't have as much as I'd like of many types of music; but this is more due to budget constraints than anything else. :)
Sounds familiar. My collection is deeper in some of those categories than others (only a couple of albums of j-pop at this point, for instance), but I've got some of pretty much all of it...
