Madonna.  From her first album, the self titled Madonna to Music, there is something about the queen of the universe who is now calling herself Esther....

I have loved that music since here first album came out.

I have had many great dance parties with Madonna blaring.

Shouldn\'t like, but I do:  Duran Duran....Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, Girls on Film....awesome shit.

Would have to agree with that one - always professed publicly to hating them when they came out - was a big Motorhead, Judas Priest and Beatles fan at the time so synth pop bands were a No- No - but can\'t resist the first album. The live album is also a stormer.

As to what I should like, (he writes, reaching for the fire blanket) I\'m afraid despite all the press saying they\'re great, I can\'t stand Outkast and also dislike Eminem with a passion - in fact I find most rap-based "music" completely uninspiring, boring and monotonous,  the only exceptions being Spearhead, who I love, and some early Run DMC and Beastie Boys.

Good call Steve, I don\'t own any Madonna, but she\'s pretty amazing how she always puts out exactly what America needs, from Like a Prayer to Ray of Light.

And Dawg, good call on Hungry Like the Wolf, that\'s my karaoke song.

I, too, like the Duran Duran call...lets not forget Rio and The Reflex...

[freddiewaht]

Don\'t forget "Come Undone," the video with the stingray. Not Sting. Or Sugar Ray.

The Reflex was on the album Seven and the Ragged Tiger one of the most underrated albums of new romantic rock.

A band I haven\'t been impressed with is Medeski Martin Wood.  Either I haven\'t heard enough of their music or it\'s really nothing special to me.  Can\'t seem to get into it.  My friend gave me a couple disks and I tried to give Shackman another chance today.

couldn\'t agree more... I place them in the same category as STS9, Particle... only more boring.

id put them way above those bands..medeski alone is the best in the buisness.hes an amazing musician,and nobody could pull off what he pulls off..billy martin is a pretty ser drummer.i put him in the same category as stanton moore,but maybe not as ser...and chris wood is a pretty killer bass player too.when they play together,actualy tunes,nobody could touch them...the only thing about mmw,compared to breakfast,is i wouldnt be able to see them night after night after night..they become a bi tboring,but i think thats because they lack vocals...give them another chance..i havent picked up their new album,but have read only terrific things about it..

i\'ll add Madonna to my list of Shouldn\'t Like But Do, as well as No Doubt.
