Your Deepest Musical Secret

My secret is that I have fallen into a bit of favorite banRAB conly type rut... only being able to afford a certain amount of music and only having limited time to enjoy can do that to ya... but I have been trying to think out of the box lately...
 
... Sunny Day Real Estate is great. I don't care who they've inspired. And that 'whiny emo' stuff isn't really the biggest burden on music today, anyways.
 
I really try quite hard to never feel bad about any music I listen to. I enjoy whatever, I'm not self-conscious about it, really. But if I had to pick the ones that other people might judge me for, I'd pick out the following.

Avenged Sevenfold
Paramore
Foo Fighters
blink-182

And I used to listen to Three Days Grace and Avril Lavigne when I was like 13.
 
while I'll admit that BNL do write some pretty crappy pop songs, they also have a darker side that the general public doesn't know about. For example here's the lyrics to their songs "Bank Job" off the album "Barenaked Ladies Are Me"

It was an upset
In two minutes flat
We're back on the freeway
Foot to the mat
I can't understand it
We had it down pat
It's very upsetting
Could we leave it at that
We all had positions
We each had a role
We'd overrehearsed it
We had full control
They can't teach you acting
It's there in your soul
It's the same with a bank job
And each thing we stole

So I don't need attitude
Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
And wait by the phone

I was the driver
You ran the show
You had the last word
The go or no go
I knew every laneway
In Ontario
But it's not what you're sure of
It's what you don't know
It should have been filled with
The usual ones
Throwing their cash in
To mutual funRAB
We all had our ski masks
And sawed off shotguns
But how do you plan for
A bank full of nuns
But I guess we panicked
We all have taboos
And they were like zebras
They had us confused
We should be in condos
With oceanfront views
Instead we're most wanted
On the 6 o'clock news

So, I don't need attitude
'Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
we all need to rest now
Leave me alone
And wait by the phone

Inside the police car
You tried to explain
Your crisis of conscience
The voice in your brain
And now that the whole thing
Has gone down the drain
I think we all know who
Should shoulder the blame
'Cause you made a choice there
Almost sublime
I'm all for compassion
Just not on my dime
You look like an amateur
And that's the real crime
So I'll take a walk now
And you do the time

And I don't need attitude
'Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
There's no need to phone

We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
 
The things that some people might be slightly ashamed of others might find totally rad. So here it goes, I am a punk rocker but I love my 90's dance music. Phew! That took about 10 minutes to finish typing.
 
@khfreek: The secret should be that you own a Disturbed shirt. :P

And The Used kick ass on ocassion.
